TWO WIFES, BUT ALL HAPPY Kansas Man Is Doubly Blessed, But Family Will Not Be Divided. Pittsburg, Kas., May 25.—Peter O. Sharp of this city and his two wives, Ann Catherine and Louisa, settled in the Sharp cot tage in the suburbs today, told of their plans to live together as a happy family. Ann Catherine, tl e first Mrs. Shari), returned to r husband yesterday after for ty years of separation, during which oaeh had searched the cn tire country ior the other. Mr. Sharp lost his wife in the con fusion which followed the Chi cago fire in 1871. Through the pension rools of the war depart ment she found him and came here from her home in Oakland, Cal. Nine years ago Sharp gave up the search and married again. “If I thought my coming would displace Louisa I would go back to my nursing the sick in Oakland,” said Ann Catherine as the three sat together in the garden today. “She has been a good wife and married my hus band in good faith. This is her home and I shall bring her no sorrow.” Louisa held the wrinkled hand of Mr. Sharp in hers. She is fif ty years old. lie is eighty-two and Ann Catheirne seventy-two. Louisa leaned across her hus band’s knees and patted Ann on the cheek. “You will bring me no sorrow, my dear,” she said tearfully. “There is room in this house and garden for loth. I understand it all.” Their common husband nodded toward a vacant field across the street and said: “If the women folk can’t get along together I’ll build another house for one of them yonder.” STEAMER SINKS WITH SIXTYPASSENGERS National Company Liner Goes Down and Many May Be Lost. Panama, May 2d.—The Nation al Steamship line steamer “Tabo ga” struck a rock off Punt a Ma la on Tuesday and sank a short time afterwards. Of the 100 pas sengers on board only forty arc known to have been saved. The Taboga had a cargo of cattle and was on her regular coastwise trip. The scene of the accident is about one hundred miles from the nearest telegraph station, which makes it difficult to ob tain details of the accident. The United States gunboat Yorktown left here today for the scene of the disaster. SPEISER NOTES From Friday’s Daily.

WILLED HIS WIFE TO ANOTHER MAN Chicago, 111., May 26.— “Will you comply with the last request of your dead husband and marry Eli 1’ochucha, your husband’s best friend?” Mrs. Kosa Misko vieh of South Chicago, who was strangely willed to Poehucha by Miskovich, was asked. The widow, who is about GO years of age and is undeniably attractive, blushed as she re plied : “I do not know what niy hus band meant by making such an absurd request in bis farewell note. (Miskovich committed sui cide in his saloon last week.) Eli and I are good friends. But not a word of love ever has been spoken bv either of us, and I do not know that there ever will be.” “But you are not sure?” “No one is ever sure of any thing,” was the enigmatical re sponse of the widow. The wording and the punctua tion of Miskovich’s farewell note was peculiar. Here it is. “My wife can marry Eli Poc.hu cha if he wants her?!!” Now the members of the Ser vian colony in South Chicago are asking these questions: “Was it really a high regard for his friend that caused Misko vich to pen these words?” or “Was it jealously of the pretty woman and the well built, good looking Pochucha, who is known as the Adonis of the Servian col-1 ony in South Chicago?” Pochucha was a boarder in the Miskovich household almost from the time that he came to Chicago from his native land; he is still a boarder there. Miskovich wsa well off; so is Pochucha. “I think a great deal of Bo sa,” said Pochucha. “But love —that is another thing She is my friend. T cannot understand how Stephen came to write such a note. He had no cause to be jealous of me.” “My husband was the best man in the world,” said the wid ow. “He treated me always like a child; there was nothing he would not do for me. He must have been crazy to write such a note.” Miskovich lived in South Chi cago for some years. It was a little over four years ago that Mrs. Miskovich arrived there. She was not Mrs. Miskovich then. It is said she was a sweetheart of Miskovich in Servia, and that be sent for her to come to the United States and become his wife. There are those among the Ser vians who say that Pochucha came from the same part of Ser via that Bio Miskoviches did, and there are,whispers of some kind of an attachment between the widow and Pochucha that may have existed prior to her mar riage to Miskovich. 1 ms. However, is ueineu u,y both of them. The Servian colony is watching the sequel that is to he written to the note of the man who will ed his wife to another man. Court House News From Monday’s Daily.

SIX DOLLARS A WEEK. _0 The newspapers have paid con siderable attention of late to a Brockton story which has just ended happily, as of course all real-life stories end. The hero of the tale is a boy of 1G, whose mother was sentenced to the woman's prison at Sherborn, some months ago, on the com plaint of a husband and father, who having been accused of non support and convicted of general worthclssness, seems to have thus avenged himself upon bis wife. When she was “sent a way” the boy requested that, sooner than the iamiiy he nroKen up, lie be permitted to provide for his three littel sisters. The judge, on the advice of the pro bation officer, consented to the attempt, and the youthful head of the family set out to “run the house” on his wages of $0 n week. Naturally so brave a lad found fiiends, and probably they supplemented his small earn ings and helped him to look af ter the younger children, one of them an infant. Outside of Brockton other friends came for ward—among these the gover nor’s council, who apparently per suaded that the woman was no grievous offender, and that her detention had lasted long enough, yesterday pardoned her and re turned her to her little ones, says the Boston Transcript. In thsi connection one involuntarily recalls the apothegm of Henry Ward Beecher, “A man can live, love, laugh and he happy on a dollar a day” —an assertion that provoked a roar of protest, the echoes of which have not ceas ed to reverberate, but that has not yet been successfully disput ed. The Brockton lad achieved bis ambition on less money, and, though he must have forgone luxuries and dropped his needs 10 the lowest notch, neither he nor his seems to have suffered. Not to emphasize this point of Ihe story, its attractive feature is the comparative inexpcnsivc ness of keeping a family together, provided the will to do so shall exist. It has become a truism, of recent years, that the poorest home is better than the best in stitution. Instead of herding children in great asylums, they are now offered for adoption or at the worst assembled in cot tages where there is hope that they can have something like a home. The problem of their maintenance and future welfare tends constantly to simplify, since philanthropists have grasped this principle of individual care. It would he no problem at all if in every forsaken family there were several children, one of them with the will and the courage to make himself or herself the executive bead, bn a ease like that of the fine lad at Brockton, everyone who hears of it is glad and eager to help.—Vii tor Murdock. POKER PLAYERS MAKE $14, 000 IN FOUR DAYS ON THE STEAMSHIP LUISITANIA. New York, May 27.— There were fat pickings for two profes sional gamblers who came over o the Lusitiania, in today. One passenger reported that in four days the gamblers picked up $14,000 and that one of their vic tims lost $1,00 0 in one hour. “I’ve lived almost all my life i* parts of the west” said this pas senger, “where gambling is wide open, but I never saw such quick action at poker. Play usually began in the smoking room at 11 o’clock at night and lasted until 4 or 4 in the morning. The pigeons could evidently afford a plucking so it was none of my bu incss and I did not interfere.” The steamship officers keep a sharp lookout for professional gamblers, but occasionally an un known chevalier of fortune make a smashing coup. This is the appointed time to •at up what remains of the cann ed fruit left from last winter. SENATE STILL AFTER LORIMER NOW SENATOR LaFOLLETTE WANTS COMMITTEE FROM AMONG NEW SENATORS INVESTIGATE. Washington, May 26. — After devoting practically tho entire session today to the discussion of the proposed reinvestigation of the election of Senator Lorimer, the senate adjourned without ac tion, determined to proceed again with the question at its next sit ting Monday. Senator La Follctto concluded his four days’ speech and announced that when the vot ing stage is reached he will so change his resolution as to pro vide that the senate shall elect an investigating committee oi five from among the new senators. Senator Borah supported the La Follette proposition and Senators Bailey and Dillingham opposed it. Mr.LaFollrtte said lie had been influenced to introduce bis rcsoliiv lion for i special committee on inquiry by following the Illinois investigation New investigators had been provided for because hi* believed that the question should go to a committee not handicap ped by a previous decision. Needs People’s Confidence. The''next investigating commit tee, he felt, must have the con fidence of the people, which he did not believe the old standing committe on privileges and elec tions would have. The public, In* said, would consider the old com mittee packed from the beginning even as has been charged in con nection with the Illinois juries in prosecutions growing out of the case. Mr. La Follette said if lie were a member of the cld committee h would not consent to serve on the new one because he would iut feel capable of an impartial ver diet. Mr. Bailey said that all the democratic senators desired a no? investigation, he himself favoring it because of the discovery of nci evidence. Tie said the public sen timent against Mr. Lorimcr was not well informed, because it had been shaped by newspaper expres sum rather than by reading of tli testimony. Saying there had been no in vestigation by a special eommitte on an election case since the crea tion of the committee on privi leges and elections in 1871, Chair man Dillingham, of that commit tee, expressed confidence that if the investigaiton should he placed in its hands it would present such a report as would command the respect of the senate and of the country. Senator Borah advocated a special committee on the interest of ' disinteredness. ITe regarded representative government at stake and urged a searching and impartial inquiry. COURT HOUSE NEWS.

MORRITL NEWS THINKS FARMERS SHOULD LOOSEN UP. Don't be a Tightwad When farmers expect to be in Morrill over the noon hour they should put their teams in the livery barn, have them fed and go themselves to the notel for dinner.
