it would have been justi6able to have clsssed
Arlina az a pioneer of the spring crop Of
Spring poets" One thing is certain, il her
frame of mind Arlina must have committed
suicide or have run off to poetry-which is
worse Arlina adds in posteript-did ever
one OF EYES daughters write 4 letter without
p. S. that she hopes the poetical editors
viii not say to her old enough to know bet
ter" As the entire poetical corps is absent on
duck hunt, the more practical substitutes
won't say it on the contrary, quite the con-
trary. But here is Arlina's conundrum, run
into prose, because this useless life is so ex-
ceedingly short that it is desirable TO afford
every one the opportunity TO get Arlina's
poetry in the most compact form possible-in
good, solid, substantial chunks. you know

THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE MARRIED.-On
Friday last 2 young couple from the adjacent
village of Washington came to this city bent
on getting married. He was boy, an or
pban, about nineteen years of age, penniless
but apparently ambitious and full of hope.
She, q school girl scarce sixteen as far as
worldly goods Is concerned no better of than
the ore she wishes to marry. They went to
q law firm in this city, after failing to obtain
q license from the County Clerk, and desired
10
rage contract. The disciple OF Blackstone at
FIRST refused, but after repeated entreaties,
sandwiched with hot runs, he assented. The
contract was drawn up, signed by the con-
tracing parties, and also by two witnesses.
Later in the day one Of ths witnesses to the
MARI ge agreement became aware Of the
true facts in the case, and huryipg over to
Washington informed the mother Of the
would-be bride of the whole transaction, and
remarked that the entire proceedings were
i'll gal, and that if the daughter thought she
was married she was very much mistaken,
and chat the mother had better take care of
her offspring. The girl was 10th to believe
that the marriage was not legal was incorrigi-
bic, and has had to be locked up in her room
ever sincs. The would-be groom is disconso-
late and says he don't wish to live without
his lady love.
JUDICIAL CONTAMINATION time since
one Dennis Nearney was arrested for adult
cry, his wife appeared against him in the
Police Court, he was found guilty and held
over to the Superior Court. The case occu-
pied considerable time in the Police Court,

published in these columns. At the exam
ination. in the absence of Judge Henry, on
account of illness, Justice Gilmer presided.
An indictment for the crime was lodged in
the Superior Court against NeaIney by Dis
trict Attorney Buckley. FL. K. Snow was
appointed by Judge Clark to defend Nearney,
n iyesterdayIne Ii ilg the latter was arraigned.
a ter tie information had been read, counsel
fer defendant moved to set it aside, on the
ground that the preliminary ex mination was
an illegal one, for the reason that Justice
Gilmer was not qualified to act in that or
any other Court-Judge Clark having re-
Gently decided that the city was only entitled
TO two Justices of the Peace. TIE District
Attorney did not resist the point, whereupon
the Court ordered the quashiug of the in.
formation against Nssrney, but remanded
the prisoner to the custody of Chief OF Police
Karcher, for examination before competent
magistrate.

METEoRIo DIsPLAY.-About 1920 last
evening, while the entire sky YVES overcast
with heavy and very black clouds, suddenly
near the zenith there appeared bright light,
which, growing in intensity and shining
through the clouds, moved rapidly toward
the northwest and faded away in some seven
seconds. From this moving center there
radiated in all directions paler light. which
lit up the country with family b uish tinge.
It strongly resembled the tint distant cleo
trio light produces, and was sufficiently pow
erful to light up the streets and reveal
obi scts ct considerable distance. 1t was a
strange phenomenon, and was so sudden as
to be startling. The stronger light, and its
radiatiug tint broken and diffu ed by the
heavy clouds, produced weird and peculiar
effect, and at once attracted the attention OF
every one upon the streets Evidently 1t was
the result OF the passage of a very large and
brilliant meteor, which but for the clouds
would have presented to the eye magnif-
cent display.
