SOME ONE HAS NUMBERED.
No Papers Filed in a Divorce Case,
Yet the Divorce Has Remained.

Yesterday lady standing well up in
social circles called at the clerk of the
courts Office. She asked to see the
and clerk was dispatched to procure
them. After a diigent search he re-
turned with the information that they
were not to be found, and further i'll
vestigation showed that the only record
of the case was the entry in the register,
note of issue only having been filed.
This troubled the lady and she told
her story to the clerk. Four years ago
she began divorce proceedings against
her husband. The action had been be-
gun on note of issue and the evidence
was heard by Judge Rea. When the
case was concluded the Judge said that
decree would be ordered, and she left
the court room under the impression
that she was free woman No thought
of any trouble ever entered her mind
until short time ago when she learned
that her former husband had been look
ing up the records and had threatened
to make trouble. She claimed to have
paid her attorney all his claims and
supposed that he had attended to the
rest of the business. Steps will be
taken to clear up the matter at once.
But this is not all. and what makes
the lady SO apprehensive is that about
two years ago she was prevailed upon
to marry again, and she is now one Of
the leaders of Minneapolis society.
From what is known of the case, the
papers will have to be placed on record
and the marriage ceremony repeated.
At present it is case of divorced, yet
married; married, yet no wife.

VORACIOUS BIRDS.
Two Gluttonous Little Robins Get
in Trouble Over a Snake.

Boston Traveller.
A friend who loves to note the ways
of birds tells robin anecdote which
might find place among the humors
of Arcadia. Over nest Of two tledg-
lings. which he had for some days been
watching, he noticed the mother robin
futtering about and scoIding in I'M
usual agitation. and climbing to dis
cover the reason he found the two
young ones nearly choked il an effort
to swallow the opposite ends of snake.
The snake was little brown one, that
would have made light lunch for q
secretary bird. but. of course, was en-
tireiy over sized for the capabilities of
the half-feathered robin. Ii the mother
bird had ever heard about the reptilla
of the antipodes she must have cap
tured that snake under the impression
that 1t was an Australian angle worm.
Or, perhaps, tired of continual small for
agings, she had determined to procure
her family a days supply at one swoop
and give herself rest. The result
alarmed her when she found her chicks
were in fair way to kill them
selves deglutinating their dinner.
The first impulse was to relieve the
struggling neStlingS, but On close in
spectiOn he satisfied himself that their
predicament was more droll than dan
gerOus. The snake had evidently lost
all interest in the proceedings, but the
little birds had not. First one would
give mighty gulp and then the other,
each time putting out Of sight q small
section of serpent. and the watcher con-

Mutual Building and Loan association
of this city, this morning. He appointed

ately qualified by filing bond for s1O,-

pushed through thus expeditiousIy be-
cause a number of the stockholders
were much alarmed over the manner in
which the affairs of the association were
being closed up, and fear was eX-
pressed that the books and records of
the association would be spirited
across the Kansas line if there
was delay in the appointment of a
receiver. Immediately after the ap-
polntment was made, Mr.. Clark and
his attorneys went to the Office of the
association. There they found Edwin
ID. PETER, who has been lately head,
body and tail of the association. They
demanded of him the assets and re cords
of the concern. At first he objec ted
strenuously to giving them up, on the
plea that he wanted time to obtain adj
vice, but finally yielded to their re-
quest, and turned everything over TO
them. The Artisans Mutual Building
and Loan association was Incorporated
under the laws of Missouri Jan. %.

last statement of the concern showed as
sets of 900, and an examination of
