 4 DUMMY ON THE TRACK. Late
 night before last the moturman on the l Northern Addition street railway was | given great fright As he approach q | the Second street crossing on his out | ward trip he thought he saw a man l lying on the track. He stopped the ear and examined the deceased. It was d ! well constructed dummy of which the | basis was excelsior. It had a stuff q 1 head surrounded by a soft black hat. l It was clad in a white shirt and it's | cottonwood legs were incased in a pair | of checked trousers. A pair of tan 1 shoes completed the toilet. The motor man throWed the dummy eff the com- pany's right of way, but on his return l he found it had crawled upon the track again. By this time a large crowd haG l collected. On his next trip out the
 motormap was accompanied by Officer | Hale. who waited about for long
 time endeavoring to catch the creator
 of the dummy.
 1 MEASURING WIND. The Phoenix
 station of the weather bureau sarvic.. | like all ether stations. has been 1 equipped for years with apparatus for recording the direction of the wind and ! its velocity as well as the rainfall, each being noted by al instrument ] designed for that particular purpose. ! But now new mechanical device ! called a triple register which will take the place of these earlier inventions. is l daily expected to arrive. T. is auto | matic, of course. and with the aid of ! an electric system records in the office 1 the result of the mechanical Cbserva- i tions on the roof of the building. A i p5ssimist might argue that in this country the attachment for recording 1 the rainfall ;S practically a useless ap- | pliaHce and a waste of good money to i keep it in repair, as it does moi requ;~a much intricate machinery to keep track 1 of what little rain falls on the just and i th unjust reaboUt but there is al- ! ways two sides to every question, and ! Section Director Burns offered an ex- | IiietllS. Lloll ' NCSNt-IAlliE- l1C Sdll that i heretoforz when it rained here in the night the reading could not be made i till after daylight. With the new con- | trivance -t will be recorded as it fails and if it evaporates hefore daylight the rerord will srill be iu evidence. We st so little in this country" he saiI that We do not propose to let any of it gc, away in the night
 A MARRIAGE LICENSE.-A mar
 riage license was issued yesterday to
 J. P. Huber and Clarissa A. Riggs. beth
 residents of the eastern part of the county. Mr. Huber applied for the li- cence in person. but never having been
 married before did not know how 10
 make a start. He made the curious
 mistake of going to see Superintendent of Public Instruction A. D. Fulton. MT
 Fulton is a gentleman of diversified in formation, but if there is anything about which he knows less than about
 any other it is the art and science of getting married. He was the last man
 in the county that cOoI-headed man
 would have selected for a matrimonial
 mentor or cOnnubial coach. The pro ceeding of MT. Huber was similar to the employment of a railroad section
 hand as an expert jeweler. But man
 in MT. Hubers frame of mind was ca pable of doing unexpected things. MT.
 Fulton surmised correctly that the first
 step for Mir. Huber to pursue would be
 to select lady who pleased him and
 inform her of his wish to lead a diff
 fel ent life. This preliminary being out of the way. the next thing to do would
 be to join the church. prepare for acci-
 dents and buy wedding clothes. In
 some states, Mir. Fulton said. he be
 lieved license or franchise, or some
 othe- official permit was required.
 These Were in general form like teach
 els' certificates. divided into various
 grade and classes. ranging from one
 year to the natural life of one or both
 parties of the marriage. This was the
 extent of what Mir. Fulton knew about
 matrimony, but he took Mir Huber into
 the probate court, where Deputy Clerk
 Ned Creighton. who is a young man,
 but wise beyond his years, told him the
 rest. This was the first marriage l-
 cense issued in this county within fir
 teen days, the long st tymeneal Grouth
 or interregnum on local record
