MARRYING IN GERMANY.
Red Tape Americans Have to GO Through
TO Get the Knot Tied.

TO noN Ane hAuoN AAous
An unfortunate citizen of south Da-
kota, OF German birth, went to Bavaria
while ago to wed the woman of his
choice. The young couple were all
ready to have the ceremony performed
when the unpleasant discovery was
made that the Bavarian authorities re-
quired certain proofs that 1t was prop
er for the marriage contract TO be
made. This necessity, says the New
York Sun, required the production OF
various documents from the United
States, and four months elapsed be-
fore the marriage was permitted to
take place. The dilemma OF this cou-
pie has moved Efr. Stern, our CONNER
cial agent In the city Of Hamburg, to
give some advice and Information to
German citizens OF the land who con-
template marrying in the old country.
This advice appears in our consular re-
ports which, as rule, deal far more
largely with commercial than matri-
monial interests. IL appears that the
laws concerning the marriage OF for
eigners in Germany have recently been
revised and more stringent regulations
are now in force, as Germany does not
intend that any mistake shall be made
If she can help IT, In the first place Il
must be proved that one or both OF
the contracting parties are really for
eigners. A certificate OF naturalization
in a foreign land must therefore be
produced, as preliminary. Then the
authorities in the foreign land must
provide another certificate to show
that they know of no just cause or i'm
pediment why the marriage should not
take place, and this document must be
verified by the German ambassador or
a German consul One or the other Of
these officials also must certify to a
certificate of birth, which the appli-
cant Is required to produce. II there
Is any consanguinity between the cou-
pie, the applicant must produce proof
that in his adopted country this rela-
tionship forms no impedimept to the
marriage, and If he has been previous
ly married and has been divorced the
decree relating to the annulment OF
the marriage, verified by a consul, must
be forthcoming. Perhaps an appropri-
ate title for these new marriage laws
would be; Acts to prevent foreigners
from coming over to Germany to mar
ry German girls and thus deplete the
population of this great empire"

Bob Ra, 5 Fusion Views.

Editor Leader: Since the last con
gressional election In the territory a
great deal has been said, by Demo-
Gratis and populists, for and against
fusion, and as the campaign approach
es the discussion becomes more heat
cd.
tt is being urged by some Democrats
that straight Democratic nomina-
tion should be made and that the Pop
ulists are, in honor, bound to indorse
the nomination. Others contend
that the two conventions should be
called at the same time and place, and
after comforting together agree upon
a candidate, OF either party, and let
him be the candidate OF both parties
as WAS the case two years ago.
IL seems TO me that simple anaiy-
sis of the situation will, of itself sug-
gest the proper course 10 be pursued. .
Four years ago the Populists nomin-
Ated Mr., Callahan, the Democrats in
dorsed the nomination aud Callahan
was elected.

Wichita, April 20 - Charles Watson
aged 10, had desperate encounter
with two year old bull on his faith
er's farm Eve miles southeast Of Chen
ey, yesterday. Had it not been Tor
his presence of mind and the timely
ARRIVAL of John Case, a farm hand,
young Watson might have been gored
to death.
Watson was herding cattle along
the banks Of the Ninescach river. In
the herd was young bull which
Watson had teased frequently until
the animal had a grudge against him.
Finally, when he struck the animal
with lash, the bull turned upon him
and knocked him down. He then PIN
ned the boy TO the earth. Young
Watson grabbed the ring in the bulls
nose and held to 1t with death-like
grip. Case saw the fight aud threw a
pitchfork at the bull which jumped
away. This gave Watson an oppor-
tuuity TO grab the fork, which he did,
and when the animal came at HIM
again he plunged the fork into it's eyes
and head until he killed Il. The Bght
lasted half an hour. Watson will re,
cover although seriously gored.

UP TO THE PEOPLE.
Proposition of G. n. Johnston
for Erection of New
Theatre.
SEAT SALE TO BEGIN THE 18TH
On Result Depends The Sue
cess of the Enter
prise.

On the result of the canvass for the
sale of seats for the opening perform
ance entirely depends whether Rock
Island shall have a new theatre. The
public has been constantly demanding
better home attractions and more mod
ern theatre accommodations. 1t was
in response to this demand that the
Rock Island Club took steps looking
toward meeting the want. The re-
suit is the Endorsement of PROPOSE
ton of George II. Johnston, an exper-
fenced promoter, who has built play
houses in many cities through the
country, and whose work speaks for
itself. He agrees to purchase the
site and erect thereon a theatre build
ing that will be the equal of any in
the state of Illinois outside of
Chicago.
Will Cost $4,000.
He promises that the theatre will
not cost less than $50. 900. He gives
bond as an assurance that he will do
everything he agrees TO do. Mr..
Johnston further announces he will
manage the theatre him self. His ex-
tensive knowledge of the show bust
ness makes it a foregone conclusion
that only the best attractions travel
ing will be permitted to appear in his
house. He will bring Rock Island
where it should be in the theatrical
world among the leading show towns
of the west. The people SO far have
received the proposition enthusiast
tically, and it is believed they will do
their share in the purchase of tickets
for the advance sale. The canvasser
will be here June 1S. Give him the
glad hand.
