furnished the principals in an interest
ing marriage ceremony held at the Of

city last evening. Both were from
Hardin county. The groom was l.. T.

night they at once inquired for the
marriage license man, but when they
found Deputy Clerk Soper they were
informed that as he was not acquaint-
ed with them he could not furnish
them with the necessary document
mony performed. In a strange town
with no one to identify them they were
in pitiable plight, as both insisted
that it was absolutely necessary that
they be married that night. They re-
sorted to lawyer, who, after consid-
cradle questioning elected the fact
that there was business man in town
with whom both were we'll acquaint-
ed. The friend in need was found, the
license secured Mayor Klove happened
in at an opportune time and the cere-
mony was performed in the presence

den the corridors of the building for
some time.

Special to Times
Spirit Lake, March 23.-What prom
Uses to be one of the hottest local fights
in this citys history has arisen in the
contest over the postoffice. The pres
ent incumbent, A. Il. Bergman, has
been, it is understood, slated for re-
appointment, but G. w. Stapleton has
appeared on the streets with a petition
asking to have himself appointed to the
place. Mr.. Stapleton is brother-in-
law to A. B. Funk. p. Il. Nary, deputy
revenue collector, is a close friend to
Bergman and is said to be near Funk
politically. Both Funk and Nary were
out of town when the petition appear
ed Mr.. Stapleton was successful IN
getting large number of business men
to sign, but some OF them threaten to
withdraw their names and sign for
Bergman if he presents petition. Mr..
Funk's attitude is clearly known and II
is said that he will probably indorse
the one who can show the largest num-

Only One Bid Received by
Webster-Hamilton County
Board of Supervisors
JOINT SESSION HELD TODAY
Between Members of The Humboldt
and Webster County Boards, for the
Consideration Of Drainage Districts.
Affecting Both counties-AII Action
on Webster City Ditch Deferred.
Special to T,mes-Repnblican.

Special to Times Republican,
Fort Dodge, March 23.-But one bid
was received by the Webster-Hamil-
ton county board of supervisors In
joint session at Webster City Tuesday,
for the closing up of contracts and bids
on the Yunglas ditch, affecting the two
counties. There was large number
of bidders present from all parts of the
country, but all appeared to prefer
waiting until the drainage laws of the
state had assumed some definite shape
and the constitutionality Of the laws
had been proven.
As is usual in work of a nature like
the proposed Yunglas drain, nine, ten
or twelve cents per cubic yard is con-
sidered good contract price for the
work. In the one bid received Tues
day, given by an Omaha ditching con-
Germ, fifteen cents was asked for and
the bid stipulated that no action could
be taken, or no work done, until the
supreme court had returned its verdict
as to the legality Of the new law.
Today at the office Of the supervis-
ors the Humboldt and Webster county
boards are in joint session, consider
ing drainage districts Nos. and 10,
both affecting the two counties. No.
8, retaining the low marshy land in
Jackson township and No. 10, that in
Deer Creek. In the former nothing
remains to be done but to open and
consider the bids. In the latter the
assessments Of benefits is to be con-
sidered.
There are number of ditching con-
Germs represented today and it is likely
that the same feeling and conditions
exist as at the meeting Tuesday at
Webster City. The law stands In the
way.
The one bid offered at Webster City
was rejected and all action on that
ditch deferred until something was
heard from the supreme court.

WHO plTcHED The TRAMP
Regarded as Impossible That Robber,
Would Wreck 1t.

Iowa City, March 23.-The officials
of Johnston county are laughing at the
story that the Rock Island wreck
at Homestead Tuesday morning at 1
o'clock was the result of an attempt
to rob the train. In the first place it
is claimed that there was nothing on
the train Of value to rob, and secondly
the officials say that there is little evil
dence to show that the accident was
due to anything less than a poor track.
The officers here have refused to wor-
ry over alleged escaping bandits, and
they say that the men who have been
detained under suspicion have proved
conclusively that they could have had
nothing whatever to do with the wreck.
1t was said by officials Of the county
here yesterday that the stories about
bolts being found along the track were
largely manufactured. The sheriff here
had been shown bolts alleged to have
been found along the track. He de-
clared that they hadn't been in use for
months judging from the rust upoE
them.
Marshal Christian, OF Des Moines,
visited the scene of the wreck, but ex-
pressed no opinions. A man who had
been Jailed at Marengo Tuesday as a
suspect was released. No charges were
filed against him.
The injured in the wreck are rapidly
recovering.
It is understood here that general
order has been issued from Chicago for
a complete inspection of the Rock ISL
and main line in Iowa from Davenport
to Omaha, and from Davenport to
Trenton, Mo.
Passengers on the train that was
wrecked took up purse Of $50 and
presented it to Engineer Hotchktss who
stood bravely at his post.

WILL BE LIVELY TIME.
Contest on at Hudson in tho Coming
Town Election.

Hudson, March 23.-F'or the first
time in many years Hudson promises
to have a genuine live election this
spring when two councilmen will be
elected There appears to have been
some dissatisfaction over the result OF
the caucus held a week ago last Tues
day. 1t was called citizens caucus,
and H. b. Eighmey and L. f. WARD
were named for council and S. B. Gil
len for assessor AT the eleventh hour
for filing papers 1T was decided to
place another ticket in the field. C.
Baldwin for councilman and c. FL.
Brandhorst for assessor are the names
for the second ticket. Because Hudson
never had a real live election 1t is not
known how many votes may be polled
at the coming election, but it is a safe
prediction it will be the liveliest In the
history of the town. In years past
there has been but one ticket In the
field, so that the fight was In the eau

and instead the chief of police notified
all teachers to admit children, whether
vacclnated or not, until further or
ders. 1t Is intimated that should the
health board win the suit, the arrest OF
the opposing members of the school
board will be ordered for refusing to
obey the orders of the health board.
There is considerable personal feeling
over the matter.
A new factor entered into the fight
Tuesday night, when the Council
Bluffs Medical Association met In
special session and passed resolutions
condemning the action OF the school
board in refusing to obey the order of
the board Of health and declaring an
epidemic existed.
Within the last three days twenty
two new cases of smallpox have been
reported to the health officers.
