The pond of water on main
street in front of Block 1l4-is
not only very unsightly but is
positively very unhealthy and
should be drained at once. There
are a number of such places in
town and they should be attended
to. The draining of such places
cutting of weeds and general
cleaning up of premises, streets
and alleys will do much to pre-.
vent sickness and save doctor bills
and possibly lives.

CHAPTER xxi.
An Unexpected Swim.


FOR time it seemed to me that the
fellows life must have been lost and
that his body had foated down the
stream with the current, which in.
creased steadily in force as it neared
the falls, some two miles below.
Whence he had come did not

man would be swimming in the river
at this time of year, and, just as was
ABOUT to row ashore and report the
AFFAIR to those who could institute
proper search for the body, an idea
Mashed into my head and served to
explain the matter in short order.
The ghosts, Of at least the men
VINO impersonated them, had always
disappeared from sight at this point
on the river bank, and, doubtless, they
mad dived into the water and found
snelter somewhere under the shore,

easily enough have ventured out from

returned and waited until the coast
was clear again.

CANNOT MARRY
UNTIL YEAR FROM OBTAINING
DIVORCE.
Illinois Judge Renders Decision
Which May Affect Many Mar
ried Couples I'm State.

Nashville, ILL.,, Dec. 1O.-Judgs
Charles T. Moore, of this city, one
Of the presiding judges of the third
judicial circuit, has just made a ruiz
ing in the divorce case of Mary C.
Billy against William C. Billy in the
Perry county circuit court of Pinck-
NEVILLE, which, if carried out. will
effect hundreds of Illinois couples
married in the past.
Mrs. Billy was granted a divorce
last May and was married six days
later in st. Louis to Eleania Felts. of
this city. Judge Moore upon hearing
of the marriage rescinded his former
ruling and withheld his final decision
until this term of court, when he dis
missed the case, leaving the complain
ant still legally married 20 Biby and
Illegally married to Felts.
Under the ruling OF the new Hi.
nois law divorced persons cannot re-
marry within year, but they have
eluded the provisions of the law by
going to other states to have the
nuptial knot tied. In his opinion
Judge Moore states that the COM
plainant entered into another mar
rage contract before she was legally
separated from Billy and before the
decree was approved and entered on
the docket and while that term OF
court was still in session. Further
more. he says, that she violated the
statute by remarrying contrary to
the provision OF the contemplated de-
cree which states that no divorced
person shall remarry in less than
twelve months.
