romance to the affair very dear to the
average female heart. In such cases
the parental consent, if the parties
are under age, is, of course, readily
obtained, and sometimes the clippers
even bring letter of consent with
them, Probably there are fully as
many of such cases as of real elope-
mentS.
Sometimes it happens that father,
with rage in his bosom and a big gun
in his hand, follows close upon the
heels of the clippers, but it has never
been any fathers luck to be in time
to stop the ceremony, He usually
busters around awhile, threatens to
prosecute the man who made affidavit
to his daughters age, and then goes
home to simmer down at leisure and
to forgive.
Altogether there have been not less
than 200 marriages contracted in
Clark County during the last fifteen
years, and as each one puts $3.50 in
the eXchequer of the county clerk
and probably as'much into the pocket
of the justice or minister who otfici-
ates, it is easy to be seen that the
business is a profitable one to the
city, and as such it has been fondly
nursed, Elopers have been treated
kindly and with all possible consider
alton, not only by the justices but
by the people. The court house,
where the County Clerk dispenses the
licenses, is almost in plain sight of

saw there was no chance to save it,
A strong wind from the north soon car

magnificent Commercial bank structure,
and it was soon destroyed. The Central
| Savings bank went next and then fol-
! lowed the Center block. The Regnier &

next to succumb. and $4,000 worth of
goods dropped into the cellar The Car

| Bnswanger & Co., the Hong Kong Tea
company, the Spencer Cigar company and
"A dozen smaller institutions went up. The
| fire was then burning iercely from four
sides, and the destruction of the best busi-

At this time dynamite was resorted to,
and IA number of buildings blown up, and
the progress Of the fire stayed With the
help Of the Topeka and Kansas City fire
departments, which were telegraphed for,
and arrived at this juncture, the fire was
gotten under control
But few accidents occurred during the

buildings was blown mp u boy named
Haskins was struck by Aying brick and
