INTERESTING POINT IN LAW
Court to Decide whether Couple II
Married or Not.

Court to Decide whether Couple Il
Married or Not.
An interesting and new point was raised
in a case which came before Judge Green
yesterday afternoon in the district court
on an appeal from the court of one OF the
local justices of the peace. In the suit
In question John Olson had garnisheed the
wages of j. c. Caldwell, an employee of the
Northwestern railroad, who wed a bill for
groceries of about $40. Caldwell claimed
exemption from garnishment on the
grounds that he was the head of a family.
1t was shown that Caldwell had on July S
of this year been married at Logan, Ia,
to Nina ]. Halle of this city. The court
records show that Nina Halle had been
divorced from John Halle as late as April
16, 1908.
On behalf of Olson, it was commended by
counsel that the marriage between Chad
well and Mrs. Halle was not valid as II
was In violation of the recently enacted
statute prohibiting divorced persons from
remarryins within a year after the decree
of divorce has been entered and that conse-
quently Chadwell could not legally claim
to be the head of a family.
For the defense Il was commended that
while the law prohibited the marriage Of
divorced persons within a year, II such
persons desired to take the chance of lay
ing himself or herself liable to the penalty
and married in the face Of such a law. the
marriage would still be legal.
Justice Green took the latter view, hold
ing the marriage valid and that Caldwell
was the head of a family and consequently
his wages were exempt from punishment.
Judge Green Of the district court took the
case under Amusement.

made that three bottles of Q-Ban Hair Restorer will

that 80 per cent of the cases of badness are benefited

is in the thick of one of the most
remarkable campaigns ever mapped out for the
happiness of gray, bald and thin-haired NOR
tails. Down at Memphis two remarkable Horticulture
formulas gained for DR.. Mott a reputation that has gone
far beyond the boundaries of his own Tennessee. The
demand for these tried remedies has become national.
The presentation of pictorial evidence is here
made, which shows the carload lot of DR.. Motifs
Q-Ban Hair Restorer and DR.. Motifs Hair Tonic,
which was consigned by the wide-awake and thorough
ly reliable Southern house-The Hessig-Ellis Drug Co.
of Memphis--to Myers-Dillon Drug Co, of Omaha.
There are a lot of people in this world who have
taken the Osler theory to heart. To some of them
gray hair is more than a bugbear. 1t is looked upon
as a business handicap.
