SUPERSTITION CUTS DOWN
ISSUE OF MARRIAGE LICENSES

The first 10 days in June were pro-
ductive of % marriage licenses at the
county clerks office. or nearly three
day. There is nothing remarka BILE
about this. as June is famed for we'd
dings as we'll as roses, but from the
10th to the 18th not a single blushing
bridegroom appeared before County
Clerk Hubbard for a passport to the
blissful land of wedlock. Superstition
seems to have had hand in this de-
frauding of the little god. Cupid, of
his just spoils. Nobody would think
of being married on Friday. so no Ii
censes were taken Thursday. the 18th.
Then, of course. Friday was expected
lv a blank in the marriage license
traffic. Saturday. the 18th, was an
other hoodoo. and those who have
scruples against Fridays usually have
even more strenuous ones against the
18th. The 14th fell on Sunday and
therefore none could be secured yes
terday.
Thus is the deficiency explained,
and how, instead of ii or Is licenses
issued, as might have been expected
from the rush in the earlier portion
of the month, none were given out.
The natural conclusion to be drawn
is that this week will see a rushing
business in the county clerks office
to compensate for the previous dull
ness.

1t is the expectation of the officials
of the Rock Island road to begin to
use the huge plant now in course of
construction at Pleasant Valley about
Jan. 1. The time may be later if the
weather binders the progress. but it
date when the round house will begin
to house the giant locomotives and
the machine shop will receive rolling
stock for repairs. The probability is
that possession and occupancy will be
effected progressively as quarters for
the men are supplied and the work
accumulates.

cess of construction to take care of
the sewage from the great railroad
plant. The. tank is of sufficient di-
mansions to permit the passage of 50O,-

by the railroad company for the eX-
