 Not Docketed.
 Milwaukee, Wis, FeD l3.-Over POO people in this city who supposed the1n- selves divorced are married. This dis covery was made yesterday when it was found that in over 100 cases where |diyorces had been granted they had not been docketed.
 The four judges of the circuit and superior court immediately met and adopted q rule that no decree of di- vorce will be made until one of the parties deposits the fee for entering the judgment. The judges blame the lawyers and the lawyers blame their clients for not paying.

WILL CELEBRATE FEAST.
Special Services at Church of Our
 Lady of Lourdes.

l-tttS Ol AOuIucS.
 Next Sunday will be celebrated as the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes at Our Lady Of Lourdes church. Special services of an unusual solemn and i'm pressive character will be held during the day. At 1O:3O high mass will be celebrated and in the evening at 7:3O vespefs will be sung and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will be held. At both services the regular choir will be asssited by Prof Ken yon's orchestra. The altar and in terior of the church will be handsome ly decorated for the occasion.
 The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. which is another title of the Bless d Virgin, is celebrated inasmuch as Mary is said to have appeared in wis ions to French peasant girl, Berna- dette by name, who was resident of the little village of Lourdes in the PyreneeS. She made her first ap pearance to her on February II, 1858, and Cn numerous Cccasi ns afterwards. On one of these occasions she per performed a miracle by having q foun- tain of pure water spring up out of the ground and a bed of roses surrounded it. A church was erected at the spot and the Grotto of Lourdes has become world wide famous, many miracles having been performed at the grotto. Pilgrmages from all parts ot Europe are made there annually.
 It is therefore fitting that the Italian church should celebrate the feast from whence it derives it's name.

MORE ABOUT
CHURCHILL.

The DISPATCH representative who
visited Churchill's agricultural district
recently has yet few of the most i'm
portant residents to mention.
HON. W. c. GRIMES.
Hill. Nevada. is not town but a
postoffice at the ranch OF Hon. W. C.
Crimes. This S the last point on the
Sink on the road that leads to the east
ern part of the county and in early
days when big teams passed this way
for Belville. Bodie and other noted
points east and south Hill was
one of the most important of inland
stations. Even in the days Of a rush
ing station business Mr.. Grimes was.
and Is today, extensively engaged in
! ranching and stock-raising. and is one
of the foremost in this enter
prise. His ranch consists of several
thousand acres with substantial inn
provements. He has fine orchard,
Il delightful home and beautiful sur
roundings.
ESTATE D. H. DlLLARD.
| This estate consists of several hun.
/ dred acres of fine farming land, valu-
Bile and productive. We understand
that the property will in the near future
be placed on sale. 1t is a good invest
ment for q man who wants ranching
property.
HON. D. M. WICHTMAN.
: There are few homes prettier than
the home Of Mr. and Mrs. D. M.
Wightman. The improvements on
the Wightman ranch cost many thou
! sand dollars and are of the mos,
substantial. Mr.. Wightman has SER
we'd many official capacities and has
always made an efficient officer. and
: always identified with the county's best
interests. His ranch one of the pretti-
est on the sink.
j. j. cUsHMAN.
For nearly half century Joseph
Cushman has been large property
owner and rancher, and begun to irri-
; gate the lands of Churchill county first
of all Mr.. Cushman is one of the
early pioneers who can entertain you
for hours reviewing the early historical
county and State events. He was just
as proud as young papa while showing
US one Of the finest, largest, bouncing
six months-old boys you ever saw.
THE DOUGLASS RANCH
The Joseph Douglass ranch Of
m 900 acres is ably managed
by his nephew. B. T. Douglass. 1t is
one of the best stock ranches in the
State and a good producer of both
grass and alfalfa hay.
I The DISPATCH has given such space
and time in writing up the Sink as we
could at present and regret that we
could have done 1t more thoroughly.
