Not Sure of It.

1t appears by the following ex-
tract from the Wisconsin Legal
Ne,oS, that the validity of the tele-
graphic marriage of Miss M. f. Bad.
dington with Mr.. Lou f. Walker, is
liable to be questioned.
In the daily press appears an &C.
count of an alleged marriage which
is supposed to have taken place
Thursday evening. One of the con.
tracing parties and the officiating
clergyman were stationed in tele-
graph office in Milwaukee, Wis. land
the other party to this "hasty mar
riage" was seated in telegraph of.
fee in Owatonna, MINI. The bride
and groom were very distant from
each other; this is patent, as the re.
sponses were communicated by tel
egraph. Now, before it is too late,
will your readers wbo reside in this
State and Minnesota warn these
parties, il they are known to any Of
them, that they are not yet very
much married
/. Section 1881 of the revised
statutes provides that an ordained
minister's authority to marry ex-
tends only throughout the State"
Consequently, as the groom was in
Minnesota, only the bride is really
married.
2. Section 1885 provides that the
declarations of both the parties shall
be made in the presence of the min
lister Even by the aid of the tele
phone it would only have been in
his hearing.
3. The same section provides that
there shall be at least two witnesses
present besides the person preiorm-
ing the ceremony. The Hon. George
w. Peck and DR.. Kaine were on
hand, ostensibly as witnesses, but
the most they could do, was TO kiss
the bride. How could they sign the
certificate of a marriage as witnes.
SEES when they saw 30 one but the
clergyman and bride, unless they
understood she married the tele-
graph operator
4. Section 1886 delares that the
person solemnizing the marriage
shall give to each of the parties
certificate specifying the time and
place of such marriage. What is the
locus In quo here
5. Suppose that either of the par.
ties to this Edisonian feat should die
before they see each other, what
law of Inheritance would apply.
Would the alleged wife, surviving,
have a dover interest in the lands
of the deceased {?
6 Suppose both should live, but
never meet each other, what would
be the status?

Republican Quarter Centennial.

The call for the Republican State
Convention is published this week.
1t differs in one respect from any
previous call. The Republican par.
ty of Wisconsin has lived now for
twenty-five years. TO celebrate its
quarter centennial the Committee has
announced mass meeting to be
held in the Capitol park the after.
noon of convention day and it is de-
sired that as many as possible of the
members of that first Republican
Convention be present. They were
good men who composed that con.
vention. We suggest THAT it would
be proper, where possible, to choose
as delegates to the convention this
year the men who were delegates to
the convention of 1854. II one.third
of them are there the meeting would
be memorable. A greater proper
tion could hardly be expected. Some
are dead; some are "gone west"
and some are gone to the Greenback
bourne whence it is hard for travel.
ers to get back. But there are
enough for grand REVIVAL. In 1854
were the days of bleeding Kansas.
The North was alive with Kansas
aid societies. Under the Beecher
edict people prayed to God and kept
their powder dry. We do not know
who represented Grant County in
that convention but will know before
the next HERALD is out. AT the
mass meeting proposed some OF the
nations great men will he present.
MIR. Rublee, Chairman of the State
Committee, knows how to meet the
demands Of the occasion. He will
be sure to have there some such men
as Senators Chandler, Conkling, and
Representative Garfield. Old Re-
publicans will at that meeting be re-
vivihed and prepared for coming bat
ties, and young Republicans will be
inspired by recitals of the causes
which melted the elders TO action.
Let US make good preparation for the
great mass meeting,

Heating and Ventilating Normal
Schools.

There is to be al end, il seems, of
the complaints about unequal and in.
sufficient heating and ventilation at
the State normal schools of Wiscon.
sin. AT a meeting OF the Board Of
Regents, held in Madison, in Febru-
airy, it resolved: "That the Execu-
tive Committee is hereby authoriz-
ed and directed to remedy the de-
fective heating aud ventilation in
the River Falls and Plattsville Nor
NAL Schools by such methods as
they may deem most practicable, and
to complete the same before the
commencement of the next schooi
year" La view of the fact that the
heating and ventilation of the new
wing OF the Normal School building
az Oshkosh has been found, after
three years trial, to be entirely sat
isfaotory, the COMMITTEES has now
concluded to introduce the same ap-
para.rs into the River Falls and
Platteviile buildings. They are
bound 70 have il completed before
the time set for the opening OF

JEFF Davis VS.. the Women of the

or the senile folly of would be parti-
san. ln the name of God, have not

hatred. Let the dead bury the dead.

The law of this state enacted by
the last legislature, compelling the
school attendance of children, will
go into effect the first day of next
September. Tho statute is very
stringent and requires ell parents
and guardians to send children be.
tween seven and'if.een years of age
to school at least thirteen weeks 10
each year. The only exception to
this requirement is 10 case OF physi-
cal disability. Thelaw does not des.

which attendance is required, and it
may be either 10 public or private
schools, or at home.

THE MANIA FOR CoAcHMEN.-
New York society circles are some-
what exercised over scandal in high
life, which involves the beautiful
daughter of a wealthy and aristocrat.
ic family, who has formed an affec-
ton for her fathers coachman, a la
ex-Gov. Hubbard's daughter, of Con-
necticut, and the more recent case
in New York. The coachman in
this case is handsome, but illiterate,
and the family of the young lady
ranks high for culture, wealth and
antecedents. The father, when
warned by friend, discredited the
story, until, upon investigation, he
found numerous letters from the
coachman addressed to his hayward
child. During an interview about
the matter, the young lady's mother
tainted. Despite parental vigilance,
the twain planned an elopement,
which was interrupted by the ap.
pearance of the father while they
were on their way to the minister S.
The coachman has been discharged,
and the young lady transferred to
her fathers country residence. A
young physician, to whom the girl
was engaged to be married, has been
so affected by the knowledge of the
facts that he is nearly crazed, and
has, by the advice of friends, started
on voyage around the world.

CHICAGO had q Socialist demon
stration last Sunday. A party OF
Bohemians had picnic in a grove.
There is Bohemian military com.
pany in the city. This company
went to the picnic as an escort, car
rying their arms and ammunition.
While dancing and other amuse.
monts were going on they got into
a difficulty with " outsiders" In the
fracas the military company fired
their guns into the crowd OF "out.
siders." The guns were loaded with
buckshot. Ten or twelve persons
were wounded, some of them mortal
ly. Some who were shot were sim.
ply passing by at the time, not even
taking an outside interest in the af-
fair. The military company men
were all drunk, and probably the
outsiders " were drunken. They
were all, outsiders and insiders, two
legged animals that can no more I'M
derstand or appreciate laws made
for the regulation of decent society
than if they were four-legged ami.
mails. No government can be free
government in the proper sense of
the word that permits such creatures
to share in the control Of its political
Institutions. Not being able to CON-
prehend the necessity of law they do
not want law. They are having a
little dose of law now, however.
Every member of the military com.
psny present was arrested and is on
trial. If there is any death among
their victims some of the shooters
ought to be hanged.
