Has a New Record.

The Clerks office has discarded its
old style marriage record and in its
place has a new and labor-savlng rec
ord In times past the record has
been so made up that it contained a
complete copy OF the original license.
the date Of the return made by the
minister or Justice and copy of the
return all duly certified to by the
clerk In the case Of several hundred
licenses this meant a great expense of
time and labor. In the new form now
IA use for the first time, the names Of
the contracting parties, the copy of the
return and reference to the number
and book OF the application is all that
is necessary. This makes the record
perfect, and it is very easy to locate
any desired parties. and yet the record
IS much simpler and easier to keep.

Much Depends on This.


The building contractors complain
that quite a few of the people who
intend to build houses the coming
summer have postponed operations on
account of the unsettled attitude of the
labor unions, claiming that as things
stand now a contractor has to ask the
topmost price, demanded as the union
scale, while probably he will only be
compelled to pay much lower price
but in order to protect himself from
a probable loss, should the men de-
mand a union scale, he has to figure
union wages throughout the whole con-
tract. Thus the burden of it falling
necessarily on the builder. If the
trades are wise they will either form
a union and agree on scale of wages
or reject the whole plan and work as
they have heretofore. each man get
ting what he is really worth to the
contractor with steady work and good
living wages Tt is said that many
residences will be erected here the
coming summer If the price Of labor
does not go beyond the reach OF the
builders pocketbook, and the question
of building activity or a dull season
in thatl inc, rests wholly with the men
who are employed in the construction
thereof.

which has won such recognition on
account of it's splendid rendering
of classical as we'll as popular music

draw line of separation. There
must be no break, and the higher
spiritual life Of man will survive
the grave. Perhaps the life beyond
is not so vastly different from the
ideal life here. What we are to-
day we are apt to be tomorrow, and
he who loves beauty here is most
capable Of appreciating. the beauty
in the world to come. He who
loves not his fellow being on earth
cannot feel at home in a peaceful
heaven. The Chautauqua assembly
offers the right kind Of opportunity
for contact, brother with brother.
"Thirdly, the Chautauqua stands
for intellectual stimulus. Every
individual has a certain capacity
for growth, tho there be a limit.
A long life is largely a matter of

one feels. An assembly like this

work to do. 1t can do much for
the over-worked business man who
would leave his desk, and the fami

MADE POOR TRADE
Man Who Had Broad Acres
EXCHANGED For Bad Stock.

To exchange real estate property
worth $40. 900 for stock in a COM
pany ostensibly worth $4,000 but
in reality worth nothing may not
seem a very profitable deal, but this
is what K. Goeman Pott, formerly
of Raymond, did. Last year in
August he made this exchange with
one H. J. Hanson of Somerset,
Wis.,, getting in return for his val
liable holdings 100 shares Of stock
in 1.-The Universal Art Co.," with
a par value of $4,000. Hanson as
sured Pott that this was his, Potts,
opportunity Of getting something
rich for song. The company was,
of course, in prosperous condition
and doing a lucrative business. In
fact, with the stock on hand, the
original paintings owned, fixtures,
accounts and orders, the company
was easily worth $50,000 with but
a trifing indebtedness. Without
further ado, Pott fell into the plot
and the necessary deed of convey
ance was at once executed. The
minor detail of examining the cat
in the bag was then attended to
with the result that Pott became
hot and kicked himself every pos
sible way. The value of the art
concern dwindled to $4,000 with
about $40, 600 liabilities, and it was
actually running at a loss. About
this time real estate began to look
pretty good to Pott and right on
the spot he started proceedings to
come back into his own. But Han
son had decided the property to one
Chas. V. Holmstrom of Cumber-
land, Wis.,, without consideration.
He again decided it to j. S. Pome-
roy Of Minneapolis. and the latter
turned it over to Hanson's wife,
Magdalena. This juggling was in
dulged in in order to place the title
beyond the recovery of Pott. Part
of the property of Pott, consisting
of some lots in Raymond, was sold
to A. H. Rosenquist.
Thru his attorneys Pott instituted
suit against Hanson, Holmstrom
and Pomeroy. asking that the ex-
change be rescinded and that he be
reinstated as owner of the real es-
tate. Also that he recover the sum
of $1,000, the value of the property
conveyed to Rosenquist. The case
was to come up for trial in this
court at its last session, but as two
of the defendants were not resi-
dents of this state, it was trans
ferred on motion of the defendants
to the u. S. court. district No. 4,
and it will most likley be heard in
Minneapolis.
