CONSENT BY TELEPHONE.
Young Couple Receive Fathers Sane
ton to Their Marriage
by Wire.

Every day or two in Nebraska the tel
ephone furnishes additional proof of
its unquestionable right to pose as a ben
efactor OF the west. Horse thieves have
been traced and caught by its aid. Lives
have been saved by the prompt visit of
the physician that it made possible.
And only the other day 1t saved we'd
ding party from ignominious failure,
says the Nebraska State Journal.
young couple of Oconto, Custer
county, made the journey to Broken
Bow one day recently to get marriage
license and to get married. Late In the
afternoon they appeared at the Office of
the county judge In search of the nee
esary papers. When the necessary sta
tistics came to be recorded the bride
was found to be only 16 years old, and
of course the judge refused to go on with
the affair Cupid was for once appar-
emily thwarted But the old saying that
love will find way was not to be dis
credited yet.
There were telephones in Oconto, and
the judge finally agreed to take the con-
sent OF the father of the bride to her
early marriage over the phone. BY dint
OF two hours effort the parent was
reached, his verbal consent obtained,
and the contract sealed. All credit for
which is due, of course, to the telephone.

several attempts to hold tho inquiry,

NAV take the leadership of the repub-

They have been given to understand
he is not averse to the undertaking if
tie pressure continues. In recent
years he has several times declined to
re-enter active politics, but the belief
prevails that he will now be willing
to round out distinguished career at
the head of the firing line.
Back OF the Golf movement are re-
publicans opposed co Senator Elkins.
now the recognized state leader.
They do not like Elkins for his part in
the DawsoD.Teter governorship con-
test. They also assert he has PLAYED
fast and loose with political promises.
The anti. Elkins sentiment is strong,
but lacks leader. The 1907 legisIa
ture will elect or defeat Elkins.
