which provides for the appointment of
q commission by the governor which
shall be composed of two women, who
are mothers, two physicians of conceded
ability, and one attorney of high
standing, who shall prepare rules for
the government of officers in the issu-
ance of marriage licenses and of minis
tiers in performing ceremonies; and ex-
aminations shall be made OF all appli-
cants for licenses, and no marriages
shall be celebrated in the state unless

vented in the event that conditions in
imical to the welfare of society should
be foreshadowed as a result of mar
riage.

way, keeping the entire holding of L.
900 shares intact. She did her own
house work, educated her two sons in
Y the public schools of Duluth and spent
her spare time in church duties. With
the rumor that the Morgan syndicate
was to buy the Rockefeller mines and
roads the stock advanced to $65, to $40,
