ANTi-NUPTIAL CONTRACT
II CHI I'd Pool and Lizzie DeMaris File
Agreement With Register of Deeds

one Of the most unusual contracts
which has recently been filed in the reg
lister Of deeds office at the court house
was an ante-nuptfaI agreement which
was fled there yesterday. The contract
ing parties were Richard Pool and Lizzie
DsAIaris. both Of whom are known in
this city.
Some of the stIpuadons in the contract
was that after their marriage the prop
erty Of each person was 70 remain
solely and exclusively theirs and that
neither should take or receive or claim
any interest in the property OF each
other. Also that the respective heirs Of
each should have the right TO use and
TO convey all property, both real and
personal, without the interference Of the
other party Of the contract After the
marriage each person IS authorized by
the contract TO will their property 10
whom they might wish with the consent
of both parties. IN case the husband,
Richard Pool. should die. the wife, named
in the contract as Lizzie DeMaris, would
only receive one chtd's part as her legal
right Of the estate possessed by Richard
Pool at the time of his death The IN
tention Of that stipulation seemed 70 be
to give Lizzie DeNaris an equal right
with the heirs Of his estate
The contract occasi0neG considerable
comment among the people who knew
about it. but there are many people who
favor such an agreement While such d
thing may not have been done in this
vicinity before, yet such contracts are

by the payment Of SO by Mr. Angel. he
related that since leaving here he had
been converted and the debt caused him
uneasiness. Finally, after thinking l.
over, he decided 70 make a special trip
here and settle the bill personally. This
was done and his railroad fare amounted

The fact is that over indulgence IN

One reason for the reported prevailing

reduced to two or three articles OF diet,
under ordinary circumstances, 1t costs
no more to give a reasonable VARIETY TO
the menu than to confine it entirely to
bareback and bacon, especially when
the hospital expenses are taken into
account. 1t has been suggested that a
small allowance might be made to com
pany commanders for the purchase oi
fruit and other supplies accessible IN the
place where the troops happen to be
stationed. Such food can be bought aud
handled in small quantities, when 1t
would be impossible for either the
general commissary department or the
private soldier to purchase it proftably.
In the former case something like
wholesale rates can be obtained, while
the cost of storage and distribution are
lessened, since there is an absence Of

near the place where they are TO be used
and distributed almost immediately,
with the least possible amount OF red
tape. This seems to be a remarkably

such operations are necessarily limited

One remedy for drunkenness in the
army, therefore, is variety in diet.
Another is a limited supply of pure
liquor, sold in canteens where the men
are under the control OF their officers,
and can be prevented from becoming
violent. This keeps the dangerous,
