Please, can you give me a marriage
license2" was the question propounded to
Desk Sergeant Dillon at the city jail Sat
urday afternoon by Charles II. Devall,
private in Company A, Thirtieth infantry,
stationed at Fort Crook.
Sergeant Dillon was dumbfounded for the
instant and quickly sidestepped the propO-
sition to give way TO one Of the ever-ac-
commOdating reporters that warm their
shins at the city bastile.
Deval was informed that no goods could
be obtained under false pretenses and It
was necessary for him to produce the other
party to the marital contract Devall
brOoked no delay and speedily called his
bride-to-be TO the desk, Dora Brown Of
Kansas City.
The anxious candidates for matrimonial
honors were then asked the usual pertinent
question as TO their previous history. De-
vail said he was SO years Of age and had
first met his hancee at Fort Crook in 1901.
when she occupied the responsible and lu-
erative position as cook of the officers
mess. Miss Brown said she was q years
Of age, but did not want that fact held
against her.
The pair were finally directed to make the
immediate acquaintance OF Mr. Morrell
license clerk at the courthouse and de-
parted with beaming countenances, none
the wiser that they had gotten into the
wrong berth for the obtaining OF a marriage
license The wedding will be contaminated
Immediately upon the Issuance OF the
license, as the couple made a bee-llne for
the courthouse and anxiously inquired for
the address Of a justice Of the peace who
would ofhciate at the altar OF Hymen.

why do the baiiffs move about on tiptoe7
Why do the lawyers arrive half an hour
before time for court instead of half an
hour after? Why is the doorkeeper 80
fastidious about having visitors remove
their hats the instant they cross the
threshold of the court room? Why does
he watch with such evident nervousness
for the coming OF the judge?
These are a few of the questions asked
by visitors to the United States district
court room last week. The lawyers and
court officers knew the answer to the
questions. but they had nothing TO say.
And after the visitors had been in court
few moments they had learned the
answer.
A new Judge was on the bench. He came
from Arkansas. That fact alone had been
sufficient to set at rest any apprehensions
which might have arisen in the minds OF
attorneys or court officers regarding him.
II he had come from metropolitan New
York. from eTudite Massachusetts or some
other part OF the "offete," but entirely

When II was announced that the new

case or two" bfn+
After some Search fRe, attorney found
one and mentioned it.
This is one OF the cases that cover the
present case" he said.
But" said the judge, with his smile,
wasn't that case reversed?"
The attorney thought not. In fact, he
was quite sure Of It, Then the Judge
without moments hesitation, repeated the
entire history Of the case. 1t was one
having five different decisions by different
judges The man from sleepy Arkansas
told the exact points in each decision, the
names Of the judges giving them and the
reasons for each. The attorney then found
another case, rather an obscure one.
Yes, that is by Judge Blank of the
Eighth district" said the Judge. But
don't you see that the point involved there
-" and he went on to give the entire
history Of the case.
"Tn not hear from the defendant
further" said the judge at the close OF
an important case involving life insur-
ance. This policy distinctly states what
the conditions are to be, and the conditions
have been fulfilled. as is admitted by both
sides. Judgment can go only for the plain
tiff. The next case"

trict Judge for the eastern district of Ar
kansas, arrived last Monday. He has
charge Of the civil and equity dockets In
the district court here while Judge Munger
Is busy with the big land fraud cases.
Those who were in the court room when
the new judge first took his seat have
reason to remember It. Some of the law
yers who had cases set for that morning
and who were not present have reason to
regret It. The new judge Is a little man.
with an extremely courteous manner and
an engaging and ready smile, but he
showed in the space of three minutes or
less that he was there for the purpose Of
transacting business, and that the business
Of the United States court, like time and
tide, waits for no man. Furthermore, he
demonstrated that the United States court
is a dlgnihed body within whose confines
men must maintain circu -ispection Of
action and have respect for the law.
Three minutes after the court took its
seat the trial OF cases was under way. Two
or three had been disposed of in half an
hour. Some were disposed of without the
knowledge OF the attorneys for one side
who had not arrived courts usually waited
on them. When they arrived leisurely
later in the day and found their cases
lost they protested, but the judge informed
them smilingly that the court opened at
$3.50, and that 8 80 meant thirty minutes
after o'clock.
Attorneys from out Of the city learned
Of the state of affairs very quickly.
Ask Matt Gering.
Matthew Gering of Plattsmouth stepped
into a telephone booth In his home town
Tuesday morning and called up the clerk
Of the United State court at Omaha.
I'm not be able to get up to try thai
case OF mine set for this morning" he said
easily "You'n have to pass It over, be-
cause I have case in the supreme court al

clerk.

CITRUS FRUIT FROM CUBA
First TanEerines from the Island Seen
IN Omaha Arrive This
Week.

A decided curiosity in the fruit line was
a small lot Of Cuban tangerines, which ar
rived the last of the week in Omaha So
far as known It was the first citrus fruit
ever received in. this city from Cuba. The
interest in 1t was further heightened by the
fact that It was from the Buenaventura
plantation at Bahia Honda, which is under
the management Of w. A. Page. a former
citizen OF Omaha. The plantation is only
four years old being still too young to be
allowed to bear to any great extent, and
the fruit sent here was only for distribu-
ton among some of Mr.. Pages friends.
Samples were taken down to the whole
sale fruit houses, where they were exam
ined with a great deal % interest and COM
pared with the Florida fruit. The smallest
was just about the size OF the Florida 1905,
which is the size most commonly on SALE
The best of the Cuban fruit was larger
than anything seen on the market. The
market men were we'll pleased with the ap-
pearance OF the fruit commenting especl-
ally upon the thinness OF the skin In
color 1t is somewhat lighter than that from
Florida, due largely to It's being hardly
ripe. Those who sampled both pronounced
the Cuban fruit sweeter 10 the taste.
Owing 10 the accessibility OF the large
eastern markets to Cuba It is a question II
much Of the Cuban fruit will ever come to
Omaha, as prices east are usually higher
than here.
