Married, at Chanute, Kansas, on
Wednesday, January IL, 1899, Doctor
M. Fl. Thielen, formerly of Extra,
Iowa, and Miss Anna Hansen. The
ceremony was performed at the
Catholic church. Doctor Thielen
is young physician of education
and culture, and has the respect and
esteem of every one with whom he
has come in contact with in our city
and although he has been here but
short time is enjoying good
practice. The bride is very esti-
mable young lady from near Villas.
This young couple start out in life
with bright prospects, and their nu-
merous friends hope that no cloud
OF sorrow may ever arise to mar
their bliss. The Times congratu-
lates them both, for the doctor has
drawn prize in the lottery of life,
and Mrs. Thielen can make model
husband out of the doctor if she

Charles Il. Fairman, 81 Eleventh Street
northwest, recently asked the Commission
ers to set aside three assessments Tor
Waterman taxes against sub!ots SO. 81 and
3s in block II. LIE Droit Park, as they
were erroneous. Mr.. Fairman informed
the Commissioners that the Waterman was
not laid by the District, but by a. L. Bar
ber more than twenty years ago. with the
understanding that. inasmuch as 1t was
laid at his personal expense, purchasers OIL
lots abutting on the main should not De
assessed. This fact was admitted by the
officials OF the water office at the time.
Mr.. Fairman also stated that subsequent
purchasers of lots abutting on the water
main were advised that no Waterman as
sessment could be made against the prop
erty purchased by them, and further, tnat
this representation was an inducement Tor
the purchase of the lots so improved MI
Fairman thought it would BE- unjust 10 re-
uuire the purchasers TO pay twice Tor 'ne
Improvement; that il would also be unJuz
for the District to collect by the way OF i
special tax for the expense OF laying
watermain which the District dd not lay,
and for which the District has never D en-
put to any expense. and that the Whoie
system OF special assessments IS basel
upon the fact that the District has eN-
pended money for the Improvement
claimed By the assessment
Attorney Thomas. to whom the matter
was referred. taolS the following view OF
the matter:
Mr.. Fairman contends that the water
main in respect to which the bills in ques-
ton we're rendered. was laid by A. l. Bar
ber & Co.. more than twenty years ago at
the personal expense of the firm. who then
owned the subdivision known as lie Droit
Park, and that the understanding then was
that subsequent purchasers OF lots aout-
ting the main should not be assessed.
"If, as contended the Waterman was not
laid by the District. or at its expense, 1t Is
manifest that the District has no authority
| to impose assessments in order to collect
