THRICE MARRIED.
Eliza Mcdonald to Become r1rs.
Ward for the Third Time.


Ralph Ii. Anderson stepped into the
cupid's Office at the new City Hall yester.
day and demanded license for the mar
rage, or rather remarrage, Of Eliza B.
Mcdonald TO George Ii. Ward. His
deposition was taken and sworn to, after
which the permit was made out authoriz-
ing the union of the pair for the third
time.
Miss Mcdonald first became Mrs. Ward
in 1883. but after sharing matrimonial
bliss with her attentive husband for a
year the latter forgot the vows he had
sworn to obey before the altar. and as a
result of his negligence soon found him.
self single man with the unexpected
pleasure of paying to his former better
half regular monthly alimony.
This State of affairs lasted until early in
the year 1891, when tie pair became recon-
ciled. and after few months counting
were again united on the 18th Of Sep
temher in the same year.
Again happiness reigned supreme, and
again came the change. Once more the
gushing bride decided that marriage was
a failure, and on the 9th of last month pc
titioDed-0r repetitloned-the court to
have the bonds of matrim0ny existing be-
tween herself and husband dissolved on
the ground of extreme cruelty.
Inc decree was lsSuSu on the ZUtn ut,
whereupon Mrs. G. III. Ward was allowed
TO resume her maiden name, Miss Eliza
Mcdonald.
A month has hardly passed since the
last escapade or matrimonial event in the
history of the couple; but however short
the time has been 1t was just long enough
to straighten up the old feuds and teach
one another to forget the past.
On applying for the license yesterday
the applicant stated that he was on init
mate terms with both parties, and. having
assisted in the reconciliation, intended to
take no rest until the = hitching" was
over.

An Old Copper Cent That

Both branches Of the Legislators set
tied down to business this week. There
has been marked decrease in thenu,n'
Der Of bills introduced, and that affords
an opportunity to dispose OF somo of
the many now pending. A few minor
measures have been passed. but the
more important ones are still under
consideration.
Dollard's railroad bill was lengthily
discussed in the senate, Tuesday. IL
was severely criticised for its harshness,
aRd finally WIS indefinitely postponed
by vote of 30 to 10.
Senator Thornby is still after the
board Of pardons, and has followed mp
his memorial with bill 10 repeal the
parole law in the case Of prisoners In
the penitent,ary.
The senate educational COMMITTEES IL
wrestling with the school laws, which
are notorious for their complicated c2n-
dision. The members of the cou. ssrii .@l,,s-
are hopeful of bringing some sort Of or
der out OF the chaos, but IL will keep
them busy the greater part of the ses-
sion.
The fate OF prohibition is as much in
doubt as svef. The e-snbmissionists
are confident Of success, but their oppo
nents will give them hard battle, and
seem to have unlimited faith in their
ability to defeat the bill. -he legisla-
ture is SO evenly divided on the ques.
ton, and the doubtful ones are so very
doubtful, that the outcome cannet be an
ticipated with any degree Of certainty.
The divorce business Of the state will
probably be seriously affected by tire
extension OF the length Of time required
to gain residence. There seems to be
strong sentiment in favor Of such
change.
The appropriation for the state exhib-
il, Is as much bone Of contention az IL
was n week ago. IL is not probable that
more than $4,000 will be appropriated.
1t is recognized on every hand that that
amount will not make ANYTHING like
creditsble exhibit, but number Of our
law makers seem to be imbued with the
penny-wise principle which was 80
prevalent at Pierre two years ago.
