Who Nav Marry.

A great deal more care must be used
by the clerk of the district court in
issuing marriage licenses now than
heretofore, because of several laws
passed by the last legislature. The
clerk must satisfy himself that neither
party desiring a license is epileptic.
imbecile or feeble minded, for it is a
misdemeanor to issue a license to a
person of that character, punishable
by a heavy fine. He also has to ascer-
tain if either party has been married
before or divorced, and no license can
now be issued to a divorced person
whose divorce has been procured within
six months. The clerk has record of
all persons divorced in this county, but
those who were divorced elsewhere in
the State or in another state, must
bring a copy of their divorce before a
license can be issued so that the clerk
can see that the decree is six months
old. The new law makes considerable
more work for the clerks Office, but
unless you are an imbecile, or feeble
minded, you can still get permit to
get into trouble. .:...:.

T. It must be apparent to one who no.
|.tlces the farmers teams in this village
each day that the number of wagons
ioaded with milk cans is steadily in
creasing. The farmers, who are haul
ing these cans are a satisfied lot, too,
tor each month they receive a check
from Bridgeman & Russell and are
able to pay cash for their groceries in
stead Of the old unsatisfactory method
OF exchanging butter for them, a prac-
tlce which was distasteful to farmer
| and grocer alike.
knowing something of the situation
the UNION man visited the creamery
this week and found that the increased
patronage had made it necessary for
the company to increase the skimming
capacity of the station A new separ-
ator was installed this week with a
capacity of $500 pounds of milk per
hour, the capacity Of the old machine
being 1000 pounds less. This in
Creased capacity does away with the
tlresome wait for the skinned milk
and saves much of the farmers valua-
BILE time.
The manager informed the reporter
that not only were the number of his
patrons increasing, but the old patrons
were also arranging to increase the
number of milch COWS in their herds,
so satisfactory had been their dealings.
The creamery has been paying three
cents less than Elgin prices, with an
addition of twelve per cent. for the
over-run, the price for March being 81
cents. This is practically a much
higher price than the average patron
could secure for dairy butter and it is
obtained with considerable less
work.
Last year the greatest number of
patrons was ffty-one, while already
this year the number has reached
eighty -four. Last Monday 1O,40O
pounds of milk were received. Last
years high water mark was 1900.
M;elday's receipts alone represented: "a
sh>nutlay of nearly 5000.
~BrEdgeman & Russell, the firm con-
Quoting the business at this point, have
a splendid business at Duluth and prac-
ticaily control the creamery business
at the head of the lakes. Each morn
ing cream is received from each of
their fifteen stations, and before 10
O'Clock not a gallon of whipping cream
remains in their store. Having So.
cured such a trade they are able to
handle creamery products more profit
ably than any other firm in the State
and their patrons reap a. part of this
benefit.
Yesterday the machinery for the
Foreston skimming station was shipped
and shortly that village will be enjoy
ing the same benefits as Princeton.

FIRE LOSS OF $4,000.
Large General Store and Other Buildings
Burned at Mora.

Burned at Mora.
MORA, MIMI, May 6.-The most de-
structive fire in the history of the vii
lage took place yesterdy morning, the
loss amounting to about S15,00O The
fire started about o'clock in the con-
fectionery store of II. Selhaver, reduc-
ing it to ashes, the stock being saved.
The adjoining building on the west,
used for billiard hall, owned by W. A..
ellis, also met the same fate. Flames
soon attacked D. R. Eaton's large gen.
eral store on the east and it too was
completely destroyed. Much of the
stock was saved, however. although
more or less damaged. The confec-
tionery store Of A. J. Conger to the
east of Eatons store soon caught fire
and was destroyed, most of the stock
being saved.
The large store of the Mora Mercan-
tile company caught fire several times
and was saved with difficulty. The
loss on the Eaton store is estimated at
$4,000, with $1,000 insurance. The
Selhaver loss figures up to about SO, 800,
with So, 200 insurance. Mr.. ellis loses
about $500, with no insurance. A. J.
Conger carried $500 on his CONNECTIONS
cry store and stock, his loss being esti-
mated at ST. 200. The Danforth sale
stable sustained some damage, which
is covered by insurance. Conger and
Selhaver will rebuild at once, but Mr..
Eaton is undecided.

CROP BULLETIN.
Minnesota Crop Conditions for the Week
Ending May 6.

Minnesota Crop Conditions for the Week
Ending May 6.
The middle of the week was excep-
tlonally warm, with temperatures on
the 1st and End about 900 in western
and southern portions. In many places
these high temperatures have not been
equaled at this season for many years.
During the week. there has been little
or no rain in the Red River valley, but
there were locally heavy showers in
central-western counties on the 10Th
and 30th, and in widely scattered small
areas in the south, on the End and 4th.
On the 5th and the morning of the 9Th
there were light rains except in north
ern portions. In Kittson, Marshall
and parts of Polk counties heavy lands
were too wet for seeding early in the
week because of the rain on the 26th
ulto.; elsewhere in the Red River val
ley, wheat, oat aud barley seeding is
we'll advanced, and early wheat is up
nicely. In the extreme southeast where
the season opened late, and in central
western portions where local rains de-
layed work early in the week, there
are still small areas to be seeded, but
in other portions all seeding but flax is
finished. Preparations are going on
rapidly for the planting of corn and po-
tatoes and fax sowing, and in many
southern counties fax seeding and po-
tato planting are we'll advanced, and
some corn is planted. All vegetation
has made an unusually rapid growth,
and pastures are generally being used
for grazing. Early wheat and oats
have grown so rapidly during the warm
period that there were fears that stool
ing would not go on. The surface soil
is very dry in much of the southern
half of the State, and late sown grains
are not terminating evenly. Fruit
promises well generally, but the apple
blossom seems deficient in parts of the
Minnesota valley.

Cambridge is having genuine
smallpox scare. A visitor to the vii
lage developed a bad case and the
house where he was staying was quar-
antined. One of the occupants broke
the quarantine and was found up town
visiting with his friends. A day or
two later convalescent patient from
the country came in and shook hands
with his acquaintance until finally
someone asked him why his face was
''scabby'' and he informed them that
he had been sick with smallpox. He

PAYING TAXES.

Current Taxes Are Being Paid Earlier
Than Usual This Year.
The manner in which taxes are paid
is always good Indication of the finan-
cial condition of a community, and any,
one visiting the Office of the county
treasurer these days can see ample
evidence that so far as this indication
goes this community is all right. A
penalty of 10 per cent. goes on taxes
June l, unless they are paid before that
time, and paying is in progress at a
very rapid rate Usually a majority Of
the people wait until the last few days
and then come in rush. but this year
the rush began in April, and is still
continuing, so that while there will be
enough left to make quite crash at
the end of the period taxes will be
pretty we'll paid up before the last few
days of the time for paying them.
Asa general rule the taxes are be-
ing paid in full, but Treasurer Burrell
informs US that some are taking ad-
vantage of the half-payment plan. By
this half the taxes may be paid now,
and payment of the balance postponed
until October. without penalties. If
the unpaid balance is not paid by Nov.
l, apenalty of 10 per cent. goes on.
If none of the tax is paid before June I,
the penalty goes on all of it.
Considerable of the payment is due
to the active transfers of property.
Taxes have to be paid in full, of course
before land can be. transferred, and as
there is a good deal of transferring,
this item is bringing: lot of money to
the county treasury.
? Some people have been laboring I'M
der the mistaken apprehension that
the payment of half the current tax
was sufficient to transfer property.
This is not the case. The tax must be
paid in full, and the property must
owe nothing to the public before any

Complaint has been made to the
council and health board that the
carcasses of many horses and other
animals lie unburied in out of the way
places within the limits of the village.
AS this is dangerous to the public
health an investigation will be made
and if the guilty parties are appre-
hended they will be taught a lesson
which will be valuable to them in the
future.

The sale of the E. Mark Live Stock
company last Saturday attracted one
of the largest crowds in the history of
this company. All day long the mer-
chants and their clerks were kept busy
attending to their patrons and: the
patronage of the company was excel
lent too. The sale came very near
cleaning up the entire stock and many
of the horses brought good prices. All
the vacant lots in the business part of
town were filed with farmers teams
until late in the evening.

An Apple Eater.


A well known literary man in the
southern part of England lives on one
meal a day, and that meal consists en-
tirely of apples. He is a perfect pic
ture of health, and states that he has
lived on this plan for. three years.
Furthermore, he drinks nothing, as
the juice of the apples is sufficient to
quench his thirst. He claims that it
is the purest drink in the world, being
in reality water distilled by nature.
"Golden Grain Belt' beer is as pure
as apple juice, and it is much more
nourishing. 1t is brewed from the
choicest barley malt and favored with
prime hops. Use it constantly and you
will have pure blood and steady nerves.

Miss Kane, the elocutionist, who
comes to the opera house next Satur-
day evening, is one of the best in the
Twin Cities and should be given
hearty greeting. The entertainment
is for the benefit of the public library
and is worthy OF your patronage. The
management announces that the hall
and corridor will be cleared of small
boys and cause of irritation thus re-
moved. Several times the urchins
have annoyed the audience so by slam
ming doors, talking and running up
and down stairs that there was little
pleasure in attempting to sit through
the program. Reserved seats are on
sale at Jesmer's store.

A beautiful violet DINNER was car
rled out, so far as decorations were
concerned without the use Of vlolets.
a observation-disclosures was laid
over a mat Of violet crepe paper; on it
stood a large, low silver dish Of fine
workmanship, into which the ingenious
hostess had slipped from tiny pots six
or eight heliotrope plants in luXurlant
bloom, The effect was most attractive
and INT quick fading Of these blossoms
when cut was prevented. Bunches of
deep hued lilacs We're scattered over
the cloth in and about among the relieve
dishes, and antique candlesticks Of old
brass held violet candles with lovely
petal shades Of the same hue. A FUR
ther contribution TO the color scheme
was had by the use Of some exquisite
doilies In violet silk, each decorated
with japanese design, which the hos
tess cleverly arranged TO keep on the
table during the dinner by using them
under iinger-bowls, set at each place
for the strawberry course beginning

in each bowl and violet bonbons ana
