The county clerk experienced sew
eral new sensations in the marriage
license department this week. On
April fools day young man on the
north side secured permit to wed
and live happy forever after. 1t
appears, however. that the young
lady had made mental note of the
day in question. and when called up
on to carry out her side of the agree
ment, said. Il was just fooling
you" Last Monday. one week
later, another young man appeared
on the scene. with the marriage IL
cense in question in his possession
and requested that it be cancelled.
This was done by using little very
red ink across the face of it. The
young man then asked cupid's clerk
to issue a new license, using the
name of the same young lady and
the latest aspirant for her hand.
And so they were married unless
the young lady changed her mind
again. Another young Reuben from
the south end of the county made
application for wedlock permit
last Monday. Nervously and labori-
ously he answered the series of ques-
tions propounded by the clerk,
signed his name and then asked the
price. When Informed that it was
only 81 80 for just once in life
time. maybe. ne hesitated. then
looked dubious as though he didn't
have the price. turned around and
walked right out again. He may
be going yet. as the clerk hasn't
seen him since.

NAV AROUT
Town

There was one law passed at
the recent session of the sixteenth
general assembly that has caused
some bitter weeping and wailing to
one class of business men. The bill
known as the loan shark bill became
law just before the close Of the
last session. 1t will almost put ev-
cry loan Office in the state out of
business. A number of the offices
in Denver have already made their
arrangements to close up their shops.
Their customary charge is ten per
cent a month or twelve per cent a
year for small loans. The new law
provides that they cannot charge
more than two per cent month:
that man cannot make an assign
ment of his wages unless it is o. KID
by his employer. and if he is mar
ried man he cannot assign his wages
unless his wife places her signature
on the assignment. There are few
employers who would o. X an as
signment of their employees wages
and there are few wives who would
endorse the assignment. II the
loan agent accepts the assignment Of
wages without following the law
his assignment is worthless and can
not be collected.

Work on Uncle Sans govern
ment reclamation plant at Deer
field. Kan. fourteen miles west of
Garden City. is being pushed rapid
ly. When completed it will provide a
water supply for irrigating about
400, 900 acres of arid land, and will
be one Of the largest enterprises OF
this kind ever undertaken by Uncle
Sam, who has of late become inter-
ested in an endeavor to make the
desert wastes bloom and blossom as
the rose. A canal forty miles long
has been constructed. which is sup
piled with water from a series of
Of wells sunk to depth of from ten
TO thirty feet within a radius of one
square mile. There seems to be an
unlimited quantity of water at this
depth, the wells being pumped by
electric power without any percepti-
bic decrease in the supply. A con-
crete syphon has been constructed
under the river bed, and land on
both sides of the river will be sup
piled. The formers pay fifty cents
per acre for water right for the
first ten years to recompense Uncle
Sam for developing the water sup
ply. and after that period the only
expense will be for maintenance of
the pumps and the canal. This lat
est irrigation scheme is responsible
for the recent great influx Of set
tiers upon the arid plains of Western
Kansas.

Washington, ID. C.-The talk among

Is that President Roosevelt was in

the appointment of United States
Judge for the western district OF the
new state by naming Justice B. F.
Burwell. Although 1t was not def.
nitely stated that Mr.. Roosevelt had
decided to appoint Burwell, even
Burwelrs opponents admitted that his
chances were better than those OF
any other candidate.
The friends of the other candidates
hope to prevent his appointment by
charging that he is supported by
will be informed that Burwells
strongest Endorsements come from
railroad sources. IL is said that NJ
A. Low of the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific was active I'm his behalf
and that other indications showed
that he was the railroad candidate
Among Burwell's endorsements is
said to be that OF Senator Knox OF
Pennsylvania. Senator Knox served
as attorney general I'm President
Roosevelt's cabinet and the president
has great confidence in his judg-
ment. Burwell also has other strong
support. The claims Of Justice Bur
ford, now chief justice. will be urged
upon the president.
Burwell and Buford are rivals for
the same place and should not be
confused.

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts TO TabuIate tho
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural.
ist endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count Of known animal
species. This kind Of attempt Is sure
ly not without interest, but 1t must be
acknowledged that it's results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
AS Nurmann remarked to recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his Catalogues
Mammalium," the species Of rodents
known in 1880 were only $40 In num-
ber; now they are 1900. The num-
ber has thus, at least, doubled In 81
years. The number Of living species
Of this creature now known is about
$500. divided among 160 genera. This
