WILD CAT BRIDGE.
Old Bids Rejected and New Ones Ad.
Vertised for.

At the meeting of the board Of county
commissioners yesterday the matter OF
the building of a bridge over Wild Cat
Creek, on the line of this and Butler
county. was considered. Bids were sub
mitted some time ago as per specifca-
tions. but the commissioners refused all
bids for the reason that they considered
them too high. It was determined TO
Teadvertise for bids.

grown larger and larger until all the wa
ter was let out. When asked if that
thing could have been done by quicksil-
yer, City Engineer Harding said that he
believed there were several well authenti-
Gated cases where dams had been des-
troy by quicksilver. He however, re-
jected the quicksilver theory in this case.
He said the great body of water falling
over the dam had gradually undermined
it and loosened the piling in the center.
This caused the piles to swing loose at
the bottom and the filing above the dam
was gradually washed out.
Nobody seems able to figure the dam
age to the city or whether there is really
any damage. The city has a contract
with Mr. Steinbuschel to clean out the
bend of the little river west of the south
Central park and make a large body of
water in that section. It was found by
asking for bids that this work would
cost s., 500 on account Of the work having
to be done in the water. For some time
the city officials have held that this work
could be done much cheaper by tearing
out the dam so as TO get clear of the wa
ter while the work was being done as
it would only cost a few hundred dollars
to replace a section Of the dam after the
work in front of SteinbuscheIs place
was done. It has been claimed that the
brush in the little river west of south
Riverside, caused the overflow by stop
ping the current of the river and that
when the city has fulflledits contract
with Mr.. Steinbuschel there will not be
any more overaows in the little river.

OLD PEOPLE GET MARRIED.
The Younger Ones Mar the Occasion
by Their KICKING.

Samuel Dell and Mrs. Lydia Dell were
Joined in marriage by Probate Judge VIII
son last evening. Mr.. Dell is a preacher
and lives at Kader, Missouri. Mrs. Dell
formerly lived at Maize, this county.
Mr.. Dell is 81 years of age and his bride
four years younger. They happened to
have the same name but are not related
that they know of. Mrs. Dell said that
she could get married this time without
changing her name. The old people seem
ed to be very well satisfied to have the
knot tied good and strong, but a grown
daughter of Mrs. Dell put in her appear
ance and registered a vigorous kick. She
told Judge Wilson that he had no bust
ness to marry them because they were
too old, and besides the groom ived in
the state of Missouri.
Judge Wilson explained that his juris-
diction extended to the uttermost limits
of Sedgwick county and that while her
prospective step-father was in this coun-
ty. he was within his jurisdiction and
that he guessed he could marry them.
The daughter appealed to the register of
deeds across the hall, but Mr.. Kerr said
he had nothing to do with the business
on the other side of the hall.
Love laughs at all obstacles and Mr..
Dell thought of plan to partially allay
the opposition of the daughter. He told
his intended that they would enter into
an ante-nuptial contract and that he
would renounce all claim to her property.
Judge Wilson wrote out the contract
which stipulated that Samuel Dell, who
was about to be married TO Lydia Dell.
hereby agreed that he should never have
any claim on the south half of the
southwest quarter Of section thirteen, in
township twenty-six south, range two
west. in Sedgwick county, and that he
agreed that at her death the property
should so TO her children.
Mr.. and AIRS. Dell were then married
and left the city for their home in Mis-
souri,. The daughter returned TO her home
at Maize and Judge Wilson said that he
believed he would have refused TO per
form the ceremony If they had not come
10 a partial understanding. Deputy Pro-
bate Judge Enoch said he didn't think he
could ever lose q fee for little thing
like that lie said some people thought it
the proper thing to kick on such coca
sions and that they would be worse sur
prised than anybody If they succeeded in
stopping the marriage

any tears but they jolIed one another
