enter thoroughly into the spirit Of the car
nival. hou be decorated In the colors Of
ficially decided upon by the Fall Festivities
Societies. These colors are red and yellow.

by the wholesale dry-goods firms of the
city, but will be obtained by them IL the
amount desired will be made known.
Chairman MUIR requests that the mer-
chants and residents of the city enter
heartily into the carnival spirit n dec
crate, both the downtown and residence
portions of the city. In order to obtain
the colors, and a sufficient quantity of
each. he also requests that arrangements
be made for their purchase by informing
the wholesale dry-goods firms OF the city
Of the quantity needed. Each merchant
and each resident should make special ef-
forts to leave his order with the wholesale
houses as soon as possible, so as TO avoid
any delay IN ordering and delivering the

Arrangements have been made whereby
all orders sent TO the houses will receive
prompt attention. and the authorized col
ors obtained without delay or inconven-
ience."

She Is, However, Prohibited from Mar.
rying for Two Years.

Judge feathers yesterday granted a d.
vorce to Viola M. Berry from George z.
Berry, or her complaint OF cruel treatment.
She testified that once when he came home
after three weeks absence. he began to flip
water on her with his fingers as a greeting,
and later showed his appreciation of again
being at home by scooping the liquid out of
a bucket and throwing it on her unit, her
clothes were wet. Little by little matters
grew worse. she said. and ended in his
chasing her around the kitchen table, chok-
ing her when he caught up. and then trans
ferring his clutch to the throat Of her sis
ter when she interfered. She said she and
her sister then went to the home OF their
uncle, and Berry went to Pittsburg. After
he had been away for some time she said
he wrote letters asking to come back,
sometimes as often as one a day, but she
gave them no heed.
When Judge feathers told her she could
have a divorce, he added that she could
not be married for two years. do you
understand that you are not to marry for
two years?" asked the judge. She looked
at him a moment and then snappishly said,
