Matrimonial Information.

While the News makes no pretense
of maintaining a bureau of informa
ton for those possessed of matrimonial
proclivities, juding from the predica
ment that many have found themselves
in when applying to the clerk of the
court for license to wed, there is Oft
times dearth of knowledge displayed
by the prospective Benedict. 1t was
but short time ago when one party
seeking marriage license was COM
PEELED to interrupt the bride-to-be from
her slumbers twice late in the evening
to secure information that would enable
him to procure a certificate, and later
still, another was compelled to return
to the lady of his choice; distance of
several miles, to obtain sufficient data
before the clerk of the court could issue
the license.
1t may not be generally known, but
it is nevertheless a fact that under the
benefcent provisions of the code it is
not necessary for an applicant for a
marriage license to make personal APP
pearance before the clerk of the district
court. The business may be done
through the medium of the mails, the
only requirement being that the appli
cation is reinforced by an affidavit
setting forth the following facts in the
case, and enclosing, of course, the
price of such license:
Real and full names of both parties
desiring the license, age, places of
nativity, namesof parents; also maiden
name of mothers, residence, color, and
whether or not previously married. II
the age of the gentler sex is under Is
years, the bill of particulars must
be accompanied by a permit certified
by her parents or guardians.

darce at the opera house last Friday
evening, in return for one which the

religious part of it comes in, was one
of the prime movers in the affair. In
fact, he moved about everything with
which the hall was decorated. And

While they deem it expedient that
c. II. Loud should be relieved of some
of his duties as district judge by the
formation of another judicial district,
the legal fraternity of Billings is up
in arms against the = bill about to be
introduced by Senator Mclean of
Custer county looking to the annexa-.
ton of Yellow stone to Fergus county.
AT meeting held by the Billings law
yers Monday the following resolution
was unanimously adopted, and it with
a bill in conformity, was drafted and
sent to Helena: "Resolved, That it
is the opinion Of the members Of the
bar of Billings that a new judicial
district, composed of Yellowstone and
Rosebud counties, should be created
by the Eighth Legislative assembly,
and Senator Yegen and Representa-
tive Bever are hereby requested to use
all honorable means to secure the pas
sage of such BILL
Judge c. H. Loud, accompanied by
Court Reporter F. w. Kreidler, and
Attorneys Sanner, Farr and Porter,
came up from lies City Tuesday
morning and court was convened. A
brief session was held. In the election
contest case of Dierks VS.. Gibson. a
new complaint was filed, the demur-
rer sustained and the case dismissed.
A case was filed in quo warranto pro-
ceedings for the purpose of determining
whether or not the present incumbent
of the sheriff's office is entitled to at
office and requesting recount of the
vote cast at Kirby precinct. If the re-
quest is granted by the court, it will
be shown that Mr.. Guy, the democratic
candidate for sheriff, will have a ma
jority emitting him to the office. as
there are two or three democratic bal
lots that the judges of that precinct
failed to count owing to the manner in
vice, however, bears out the fact that
they should have been included in the
canvass. In the other election contests
now pending before the court all an
given ten days in which to reply to the
amendments. The court has commu-
nicated request to the state exam
liner to look over the affairs of the

The dance given Friday evening,
Feb. 9th, at AleXander's hall, by the
: young men, in return for the one given
a few weeks ago by the Bachelor Girls,
was one of the most delightful affairs
of the season. The hall was artistic
ally decorated with bunting and mir
: rors, the latter decoration being espe-
: cially pleasing to the young ladies,
= and much time being spent by them in
: its inspection. The go-aheads of the
event were Messrs. Kane, Church and

| success of the dance. The young
ladies were called for by the young
men and taken to the hall in a large

his famous Koor-I-Nix diamond,
half brother to the Koor-I- Moor, ana
as he waltZed round the room the spark
lets emitted by the famous gem re
minded one of gorgeous display of
the aurora borealis.
Everything passed off smoothly until
the professor returned from an inspec-
ton of the water tank, where, possibly,
he had been to tank up, when coming
suddenly into the room, the ladies
mistook his diamond for the headlight
on an N. P. engine, and thinking one
of the latter had jumped the track and
was coming through the hall, they
made a mad rush for the rear of the
building, emitting yells that would do
credit to an Indian warwhoop.
Several of the professors friends,
realizing the cause of the stampede,
grabbed him and turned his face to the
wall, thus partially subduing the
dazzling light from his jewel and re-
storing order in the hall.
None of the ladies were seriously
injured in the stampede, though sew
eral fractured Wind-pipes are reported.
But hereafter the professor will not
attempt to wear his gem at public
functions, Notwithstanding it is one of
, the most costly diamonds in the world,
many thousands of barrels of flour
| being used to make the paste of which
! it is constructed. 1t is not vanity
| which causes the professor to wear
such costly jewelry, but he is accumu-
1ating such a vast amount of wealth
from his amusement Misunderstanding

his pocket change-that he is buying
up diamonds and other costly brickbats
in order to find an outlet for his sur
