The men and women of Wisconsin
who had intended to be married be-
tween May and May 10 are disgusted
The discovery has been made that I'M
der the law no marriages can be per-
formed in that State during that period,
and hundreds of weddings will have to
be postponed. Wisconsin has heretofore
enjoyed the distinction of being ha-
ven for clipping couples, as no marriage
license was required. The legislature
passed a law which went into effect
Yesterday 1t provides that license
must be taken out five days before the
wedding, and as no license could be Sc
cured until May no marriages can be
performed until May 10.
The new school system which Porto

must provide the school buildings, and
that wherever possible these shall be af-
ter plans furnished by the secretary of

schools. There is budget for this year
of $325,oOO and teachers are to get from

At a recent meeting Of the London
ritv guardians some important figures
were announced with regard to the
gross and net ratable value of the city,
IT appeared that for the first time for
twenty-nine years there had been de-
crease in the ratable value of the city.
The annual report of the Assessment
committee for the year ending April,
1899 showed that the gross value for the
year was G5,4O9,747 and the ratable
value G4563, 1874 The gross value for
1898 was e5, ,566 and the ratable value
a4,572.296. For this year, therefore,
there was a decrease of 913,S19 on the
gross value and G9,162 on the ratable
value.

Another Victim Cured.
What Il Honolulu Lady Has Il
Say OF Doan's BackachS and
Kidney Pills.

Many people are skeptical about tax
ing so-called patent medicines. but a
few testimonials as given below ought
to convince the most skeptical that all
remedies are not without merit.
Home testimonials certainly must be
accepted as being first class and posi-
tive proof OF the curative features OF a
remedy. Watch this space for a series
OF testimonials OF people well and fav-
orably known.

turn, and with heavy exports the market
tends upward again The cotton move
ment is not essentially speculative, but
bs sed on reported injuries and holds its
advance. Meanwhile dispatches from all
parts of the country show extraordinary
activity in the chief branches Of trade, and
a business much larger than year ago in
nearly ALL The heavy excess of exports
over imports continues, New York ex-
ports having been in five weeks Is per cent,
larger than last year. while imports we're
by nine per cent larger. In wheat Amer

are lower than they were some months

THE iron industry is so exploited bycon-
solidations and attempts of that nature

general advances. In pig because the de-

TRAGEDY IN TEXAS.
Street Duel In De KaIb In which
Three Men Are Killed and One
Badly Wounded.

Texarkana, Ark, Feb. 14.-At De
Kalb, Bowie county, Tex, about one
o'clock Monday afternoon B. F. Blocker
was standing on the corner, talking to
friends, when Frank Pittman passed
along the street. Blocker drew his pis-
toll, took deliberate aim and fired at
Pittman. Blocker fired the second time.
Pittnan ran few steps, but Blocker
fired again, killing him. After the kill
ing citizens and countrymen created
a disturbance by beginning racing
horses through the streets. Constables
Alt Simington and Dobbins attempted
to arrest two countrymen. John
Hughes, one of them, drew pistol. AS
Simington rushed for him he was seized
by Joe Duke, who tried TO take the Of
ficer's pistol from him. Then Hughes
began firing at Simington, but killed
Duke while in the officers arms. Duke
fell when Hughes shot him and Con-
stable Simington turned and knocked
Hughes down before he could fire again.
Meanwhile Dobbins was emptying his
pistol at the men, and after the fight
it was found that Dobbins was him
self badly wounded. Pittman, Hughes
and Duke were killed. The town Is
filled with drunken men and the officers
are having much trouble in suppressing
the riot. All the men have friends who
are apparently intent upon revenge.
