The FIRE department was called out
at seven O'Clock Sunday evening on
account of the burning Of a bill board
belonging to the Rhode opera house
and situated just across the street from
the theatre on Market street. The fi.'e

HELP IN GETTING MARRIED.
Plans of Racine's Marrying Commission to
Aid Couples From Chicago.

Aid Couples From Chicago.
a. Cary Judd, Racine's marrying
commissioner has hit on a plan which
he believes will be a money maker for
himself and money saver for Chicago
people who desire to come to Wisconsin
to wed. All that these people have to
do is to send a certain amount of mon.
.ey to Mr.. Judd and he will ia return
send them blank application for a
marriage license. The blank is to be
filled out and signed by the parties In
the presence of a court commissioner
and the application being returned to
Mr.. Judd he will then secure the
license and the parties can come to
Racine and be married. Mr.. Judd does
this to save Chicago parties travelling
to Racine twice, the first time to secure
d license and then to return after the
flve-day limit and be married unless
they are able to secure a special dis
pensation, which is a rather hard
matter. Mr.. Judd is advertising his
plan and he may have sign boards
erected near the steamboat docks il
Chicago advising the people who desire
to marry just to write him and learn
how to get married at not too great ex-
pense. Mr.. Judd stated today that he
had been working on this plan ever
since the marriage law was passed and
he believed it would take with the Che
cago people.
