saving a lot of time. 1t would also have
a wholesome effect if properly handled by
the Judge. When a man was brought in
on a charge of horse thievery the judge
should summon a jury of good honest
horse owners who would soak the mis-
creant for what his crime was worth, and
bankers should be summoned to dispose
of fOrgers and check filters.
In many instances the court knows What
ought to be done to tho prisoner at the
bar, but a mutton-headed jury rides over
his legal and moral reasons for believing
that the man should be convicted, and de-
clares him not guilty. Rather than set
aside the verdict and labor with the case

WE'D AGAIN.
South Dakota Couple Remarked
After Separation by Divorce
Three Months.s

Sioux City journal, 2: That their
children may be saved from the humil-
iation of having divorced parents, K. O.
Ofstad of Nora, S. D., brought his for
mer wife, Mr.. Anna Oftsad, TO Sioux
City to once again go through the cere-
mony of marriage.
Mr. and Mis-. Ofstad were separated
in the courts of South Dakota three
months ago, Mrs Ofstad securing a di-
vorce by default General incompati-
bility was assigned as the cause for sep
aration. Soon afterwards negotiations
were begun by Mrs. Ofstad looking to-
ward a reconciliation.
The husband is 80 yeais of age and
the wife 80. They have two children
They have spent nine years un1er the
same roof as husband and wife, and
Mrs Ofstad felt that for the sake of
their children they should reconsider the
divorce matter. She made the PROPOSE
tion to her husband. but at first he did
not feel disposed to look favorably on
the matter. Pride and independence
caused him to take the stand that it
was his wife $ wish originally to be
separated forever, and he did not desire
to renew the matter.
But the wife's powers of persuasion
and her appeals for forgiveness won
out. The couple concluded to como to
Sioux City to have the nuptial knot tied
all over again.
Upon their arrival Mr.. Ofstad called
upon an old friend, A N. Nelson, who
accompanied him to the court house to
procure a marriage license. Mr.. Nelson
signed the record The ceremony was
performed at the parsonage of the Swe-
dish Augustana Lutheran church by
Rev. O. w. FERN.
The contracting parties looked as
happy as they stood before the minister
for the second tying of the knot as
when as sweethearts they we've first
united in wedlock little over nine
years ago. They left for their Dakota
home yesterday.
Mr. Ofstad is the owner of a consid-
cradle amount of land, and he and his
brother are the proprietors OF two
banks, one located at Beresford and the
other at AlCesteT.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only catarrh cure now known to the

constitutional disease, requires consti-

is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
