The question of making the public

$4,000 yearly, the Nuremberg museum

however and everything was merry at the
home of'A. A. Scales on Thirty fourth ave-

knot was tied.
The evil spirit which threatened dire
disaster was youth. The young couple ap-
peared yesterday morning in the county
clerks office and asked for a marriage
licence. 1t developed in response tosques-
tions that the maid was but II years old.
Being under age she was Informed that
her parents consent was necessary before
the license could be legally issued. Miss
Aitkin stated that her parents were not
living and. she had no legal guardian.
'If that is the case," said the deputy
clerk, II don't see how you are going tc
get married to-day
But we must" nervously responded the
young lady. ''Everything is all arranged
and we can't postpone it now. What can

4 HEAVY CALENDAR
Two Judges Will Probably Be Kept
on Criminal Cases in April
Term.
Civil Docket Is Crowded With an
Unusual Number Of I'm
portant Cases.

Work and lots Of it is in store for Judge
Elliott in charge of the criminal calendar
for the April term of court. The docket
shows eighty-siX continued cases, many
of which are important and will require
considerable time. The iail now contains
nineteen prisoners awaiting the action of
the grand jury and this number Is con-
tinually increasing. Furthermore, there
will be a grist of indictments involving
men not in JAIL
This crowded condition of the criminal
docket, together with the fact that sew
eral weeks will, in all probability, be oc-
cupied in the trials of A. A. Ames, Joseph
Cohen and perhaps some other municipal
offenders, has led to the belief that two
judges instead of one should be engaged
this term in the hearing Of criminal mat
ters. 1t is urged by the county attorney S
office and in other places that two judges
out Of the six would not be more than
a fair proportion and it is very probable
that such a plan will be followed
The civil docket also shows many cases
which goes to refute the prevalent belief
that litigation is growing less and less
in this district There are on next term S
calendar 115 tax cases, 90 default divorce
cases, 102 court cases and 165 jury cases,
making a total of 474 civil cases. The
corresponding term in 1902 showed only
400 civil cases, an increase for 1903 of 65
cases. It is also stated that the character
of this years litigation is of greater i'm
pOrtance.

Alderman Chatfe1d Of the second ward
asked the board to improve the ventila-
ton and general sanitation Of the Motley
school, Washington avenue and Oak street
Sc. His request was referred to the build
ing committee. Mr.. Chatfeld said the
conditions were so bad at the school that
the residents were willing. to make the
necessary outlay themselves in order to
protect their children's health.
The board decided to allow all pupils
attending special school at 'Tonka Bay,
Lake Minnetonka, full credit in the Min
neapois schools to accommodate lake
dwellers.
E. j. Davis secured the contract for the
construction Of the Monroe school a;ldi-
| ton at S26, 900. The heating and ventilat-
! ing contract for the addition went to Pond
& Hasey at $11,4So. The bonds of City
Treasurer C. S. Hubert and H. B. March
bank, secretary of the board, were ap.
proved. A proposition to furnish schoo
children with pure spring water at II
