MANY MARRY BY CONTRACT.
New York Law Enacted Three Years
 Ago Leads ot 5000 Such Unions.

New York.-MarrIage by contract are becoming popular in Gotham. Since the law providing for this kind of marriage became operative three years ago there have been filed in the city clerks office almost 5000 such contracts. Marriage by contract is simple legal procedure. Two persons desiring to be married go to lawyer or any other person qualified to draw up a contract or apply to the city or county clerks office for the regular blank form, having the contract drawn up or fill out the form and then go be- fore notary public, justice of the peace, commissioner of deeds or any other officer with legal authority and there the contract is acknowledged. That ends it.
 The contract may be filed with the city clerk or it may not. The law does not require that it be filed; it only entities it to be nIed. On that point the law is lax and efforts are being made to have the law changed so that 1t shall require the notary or whoever takes the acknowledgment of the contract to file it with the clerk Of the city within ten days or be subject to penalty. The law requires a cler- gyman to file with the bureau of vital statistics all certificates of marriages performed by him within ten days after the ceremony.
 The marriage contract is not with out other weaknesses. It is true that If husband and wife agree to disagree or one forsakes the other so long as the contract can be produced in evi- dence of their first agreement or wit nesses can be obtained to the signing of the contract of agreement remains in legal force. But if the contract has not been filed with the clerk or has been lost or destroyed and no wit nesses to the contract can be produced and one of the parties to the contract desires it abrogated there seems to be no redress for the victim.

RAISES LEMONS IN IOWA.
Farmers Wife Has Bearing Trees
 Growing in Her Garden.

Bussey, Ia.-Not only does the Iowa farmers wife produce the fruit with which to make her pumpkin and gooSe- berry pies, but Mrs. B. T, Little, wife of a prosperous farmer living near Bussey, has succeeded in producing the lemons with which she will manu- facture her lemon pies for Thanksgiv- ing.
 That this particular variety of cit rus fruit may be cultivated with some success in such varied climate as Iowa offers has been demonstrated by Mrs. Little.
 She has half dozen lemon trees growing in her garden. They have all produced fruit this year Some of the lemons are of enormous size, show ing that the Iowa soil is full of the substance necessary to the production of lemon pies.
 Many of the lemons which have I1pened on the trees cultivated by Mrs. Little are 12, 121a and 1O1h inches in circumference, and will weigh nearly one pound each.
 Mrs. Little declares they will make the finest lemon pies in the state. and that she has made five to seven pies from one of her immense lemons The lemons are perfect in shape and color, having ripened evenly, and seem to be full of juice of uneOualed flavor

BRYAN $ CHOICE OF
 INDIANA DEMOCRATS
Leaders Are Unit for InStrUc- ton of Delegates for
 NebraSkanr,

INDIANAPOLIS, Id, March 25.- When the democratic state conye1- ton assembled in Tomlinson hall to- day every sign pointed to as livery a gathering as that party has witnessed in this state in many years. The coa- yention is to name delegates-at-laTge to the Denver convention and nomi- nate candidates for governor and otn- CT state officers to be voted for nexc November
 The opening session, in accordance with custom, was given over to pre- liminary work. State Chairman Jack son called the gathering to order and then handed over the gavel to former Congressman Robert W. Miers Of Bloomington MT. Miers, as tempo rary chairman, delivered the keynote address. The appointment of the nee essary committees and other matters of a routine nature occupied the re- mainder of the session. The real work will be disposed Of when the convention reassembles tomorrow. Meanwhile the democratic headquart- CTS at the Grand hotel will be the

ing of tbe democratic state commit tee of Illinois in this city as to give to the gathering almost the character of a state convention. In addition to Chairman Boeschenstein and his as- sociates of the state committee there were in attendance nearly all of the county chairmen and a large number of other prominent democrats from over the state.
 The state committee went into con ference behind closed doors at the Sherman House this afternoon to de eide upon the time and place for hold ing the state convention. It Is ac- cepted as foregone conclusion that before it adjourns the state commit tee will adopt a ringing indorsement of William J. Bryan for the presiden- tial nomination. So far as surface indications go the Bryan-Sullivan struggle forl supremacy in Illinois de- mocracy is a thing. of the past. Dur ing MT. Bryan's recent visit to this city satisfactory understanding was arrived at between him and the rep resentatives of Roger J. Sullivan, whom Mir. Bryan has opposed all along as the national committeeman from Illinois. According to the terms of the truce there is to be no antago- nism to Mir Bryan personally or to his presidential aspirations within the present democratic state organi- zation in Illinois. At the same time MT. Bryan is understood to have agreed to keep hands of in regard to the states selection of a member of the national committee.

RANGER CAPTURES
 BOLD HORSE THIEF
Holmes at Roosevelt Takes
 Mexican Into Custody

PRESCOTT, March 23.-Under
 Sheriff Neagle has added another laurel to his reputation as a thief catcher yesterday, when Feleciana Felix, a Mexican horse thief, was captured by J. T. Holmes, Arizona Ranger, at Roosevelt, after a chase lasting some days. The stolen ani- nal was also recovered.
 Felix found the horse tied at a hitching post in Octyae, March Il, and being tired of walking, calmly mounted the animal and rode of. He was later seen at Beardsley, on March Is, headed in the direction of Phoenix.
 When the theft was reported to the sheriff's office here Under Sheriff Neagle got busy with the telegraph and telephone wires, and had 600 cir culars printed and sent broadcast ov- CT the territory, describing the horse thier and the stolen animal. As a result of one of these descriptive cir culars falling into the hands of Rang CT Holmes, that officer easily identi- fled and captured Felix when the lat ter came riding into Roosevelt on the purloined broncho. Deputy Merritt left last night for Roosevelt to secure the prisoner.

YOUNG MAN MEETS
 WITH AWFUL FATt
Falls 1200 Feet Down Noun tain Side to Horrible Death
 on Rocks Below.

Hugh Watson, who left Clifton to join in search for his brother, lost a couple weeks ago on Catalina Is land Cal, has returned to Clifton. He reports that the fate of his broth CT, Llyod, was a deplorable one and his sufferings can only be left to imagination. The body was recover ed before he arrived there and the remains taken to Los Angeles for burial.
 The exact circumstances which led
 up ito the death of Lloyd Watson wni never be known He left the hotel at Avalon where he was employed and told a friend that he was going to gather shells. The supposition Is that he went down the beach coh siderable distance and was caught by ! the tide, which comes directly against the high, steep mountains. He was considered an excellent climber and was possessed of confidence. The heights of the noun ans he attempt. ed to Llimb is estimated at 1850 feet the most of which is practically straight up. As his shoes were cut off and his hands badly lacerated | there seems to be but little doubt | tudL nc dJIeuplcu tue CllllD.
 The remains were found on a shelf 450 feet from the bottom of the noun tain and from the condition of the
 mountain side he must have ascended nearly 1200 feet above the shelf Darkness caught him and he either became exhausted ur lost his footing and fell to eternity. It required des- perate efforts and the risking of other lives to recover the body and i; is said that the rope which was used in lowering and raising those who went down to the shelf was almost torn in two by the sharp rocks.
 Watson was a bright young man and formerly resided in Clifton, at which time he was connected with the A. c. grocery department. He left there a little over three years ago and has resided in California ever since. He has many friends in Clifton, who regret his untimely end.

The republican state convention, which will be called to order at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, will be the largest state convention ever held in Illinois There are to be 1582 Gel egates. The convention will be held in the exposition building at the state fair grounds Besides the delegates provision has been made for seating 5000 or more visitors.
 The convention will select four del egates-at-large and four alternates to represent Illinois at the republican national convention in Chicago. Res olutions will be adopted that viii show beyond the possibility of doubt that the Cannon for President" movement in this state is bona fIde. The delegates will be instructed 10 vote for the speaker first, last and all the time, and there will be no mention of a second choice &
 According to present indications the convention will be exceedingly brief, as its proceedings are likely to be limited to presidential politics. It is not probable that there will be any inducements of senatorial or state candidates. The convention may in general terms indorse the federal and state administrations without declar- ing specifically for the renomination of Governor Deneen. From all ap- pearances- any attempt to commit the convention to Senator Hopkins, Gov ernor Deneen or any other candidate for state office will precipitate some lively scenes on the convention floor.

fight between the Taggart and anti Taggart factions. On one side are those democrats who wish to see Thomas Taggart reelected as nation al committeeman This faction has picked Samuel NJ. Ralstone of Leba- non as their candidate for the .guber- material nomination. Arrayed against them are the anti-Taggart democrats, who, as it happens, wish anybody but Ralston nominated. These democrats have not determined definitely upon candidate for governor, but are ex- pected to unite at the proper time on the man who seems to be the strongest of the field.

AMALGAMATION OF
MUNICIPALITIES.

The building of the street car line
from this city to Schofield has had a
very noticeable tendency to build up
that portion of the town of Weston.
The people are erecting many new
houses in the southern limits of the city
while many others are building between
the two points. Along the line can be
seen large sign boards with the legend,
Lots for Sale" We are informed that
during the coming summer many more
new houses will be built up in that Sec
ton and it is only question of few
years when cement sidewalk will ex-
tend from the city limits to the village
and both sides of the road will be lined
with houses. At present a manufacture
ing concern of this city is figuring on
getting site somewhere between this
city and the village. The city some
time ago offered this concern site,
which did not meet its approval,
At the next meeting of the town
board, we learn, the subject of building
school house on some site between the
limits of the city and village will be dis
cussed

THE COLUMBIA BURNED.

At about twelve O'Clock Saturday
night fire was discovered in Columbia
hall. When the department arrived it
was plain to be seen that. there was
little hope of saving the building. The
fire had evidently been burning for
some time and had gained great head
way. The living rooms on the second
floor were occupied by Louis Limmerer
and family; Mr.. Zimmerer is employed
as brewmeister for the Geo. Ruder
Brewing Co., owners of the hall. The
family gathered together few articles
of clothing and got out of the building
All of the furniture and household
utensils were destroyed.
The fire started in the rear of the
building from some unknown cause.
presumably from defective wiring
The basement bad been used for sever
al years as a bottling works, but there
was no engine or flre of any kind en-
ployed in the work. 1t is quite evident
that the fire had been slowly burning
for several hours when discovered
The whole interior and roof was
burned and nothing left but charred
debris and the walls. The walls were
built of solid brick and stood intact.
This building was constructed at
about the time the company erected its
new brewery sixteen or seventeen
years ago. 1t was designed as theatre
building and dance hall, with living
rooms on the upper story and bowling
alleys and dining room in the basement.
1t was used for many years as public
hall and saloon, but was never much of
a money maker for its owners and for
several years had not been leased, bat
was converted into bottling house
for the company's use. 1t represented
a large outlay in dollars, and though
the company carried some insurance,
still it will be heavy loser.
Henry Ruder, speaking for the COM
pany, says that plans have been formu-
lated to rebuild at once. 1t is likely
that the walls can be used without very
little repairs being made. 1t is prob
able that in rebuilding the company
will design the building with a view of
having a structure which will more
nearly meet the needs of its own neces-
sites than did the old building

A VERY OLD MAP.
B. F Wilson, Owns One Which Is Quite
Curiosity at this Late Day.

B. +. Wilson stepped into our Office
last Thursday on business mission,
and showed US map he was taking to
book bindery to have re-backed. In
its present state it is somewhat the
worse for age, and after the book binder
gets through with it, it will be hung up
/ in Mr.. Wilson's den. The map was
issued by act of congress, 1S47," and
is what is known as Olney's outline
map for common schools
AS compared with present day maps
this one is a curiosity. 1t shows that
the makers had rather crude ideas of
large part of what is now the territory
of the United States, especially that
part lying west of the Mississippi river.
1t also shows that there was very little
settlement in the West, except trading
posts and forts, even the city of San
Francisco not being shown. 1t was
issued at time when steam railroads
had not commenced to extend lines for
settlement, and before the discovery of
of men to the West. Journeys to the
Pacific coast at the time were made in
slov going sail vessels around cape
Hora and trips overland were perilous,
because of hostile Indian bands and
other dangers to be encountered.
Since this map was issued the United
States has more than doubled its area,
quadrupled its population and gained
possess ion of resources, riches. prestige
and fame that has dazzled the world
1t shows the original states in about
the same outline as they are today,
though boundary lines, courses of
streams, etc., are rather inaccurate.
The population of the whole country is
given at 100000 600. New York, the
Empire state, with population at pres
ent of 5000, 900 people, only had 2. 2.409.0
then, or about half of what the city of
Greater New York now contains. Wis
consin had 10000. or less than Oshkosh,
the fourth city in the state, now has
Oshkosh is not shown on this map and
Wisconsin is credited with only three
cities, Milwaukee" Madison and
Green Bay. Many cities designated as
prominent places are now unknown by
the names then given. The spelling is
characteristic of that period. The map
maker had evidently read Shakespeare's
love tragedy. for he spelled Joliet, H.,
Juliet" Mexico was credited with
owning all of California, and Nebraska
territory extended from the Canadian
boundary line to the Texas border. In
"Minnisota" territory the cities of st.
Paul and Minneapolis were then I'M
heard of. The Great American Desert
comprised vast territory east of the
Rocky mountains and was probably
what afterward came to be known as
the plains. The northern boundary of
Wisconsin is shown to De the Montreal
and Menominee rivers, heading near
one another. The head of the Wiscon-
sin river is shown to be in lake in
the north central portion of the state.
The map is 81 by 2t feet in size and is
withal curiosity.
