a single moment in contributing good

TAKES HER FATHERS ADVICE
Daughter of Former Mayor Bennett Of
Fort Dodge Marries During Her
Parents Absence.

Miss Mabel Bennett, daughter of ex-
Mayor Bennett of Fort Dodge, the
famous city executive whose admins
tration hobby was a proposed tax on
bachelors and old maids, has taken
her fathers advice during his absence
on a business trip South to wed the
man OF her choice, chauffeur named
Norlan Snow, deciding to talk it over
with her parent afterward
The clerk Of courts at o'clock at
night was hustled from his home and
was driven in the auto of Snow to the
courthouse where a marriage license
was secured. Another drive post
haste to the residence Of Rev. F. F.
Drake, pastor of ST. Marks Episcopal
church, and the ceremony was per-
formed. The young couple then took
the night train for Des Moines and
from thence went to Chicago on their
honeymoon
The bridegroom finds high favor in
the eyes of Mr.. Bennett, but the mar
riage undoubtedly will prove a sur
prise to him. At all events the joke
Is on the ex-mayor who won fame as
Cupid's ally, and disapproval of his
daughters act would be distinctly at
variance with the ideas that he so
valiantly expounded in issuing forth a
ukase as mayor calling upon all bach
elors and spinsters to wed within a
year under penalty of severe fines.

famous prisoner, George Mackown,

s137.40, the actual cost Of the trip ex-
elusive of fees.
The board took legal counsel on the
matter and decided that it was not
necessary that two officers should
make the trip to California, hence
their refusal to allow Mr.. Porter's bill.
1t is understood that the county attor-
ney will attempt to force collection.
Sheriff Thompson's fees are paid by

Porter's reason for accompanying
