CAPTAIN KEITH NO BENEDICT
Veteran StOckmRn Denies the story
of His Marriage in Cali
forniB.

Captain John Keith. a pioneer and lead
ing stockman of western Nebraska, and
after whom Keith county is named is in
Omaha, after a visit of several months
in California and Arizona.
81 must first deny the story Of my mar
riage while away" said Mr.. Keith. 81
do not know how 1t got out There Is no
ground for it whatever. 1 saw Ed Howell
of Omaha while at Phoenics Arizona, and
he looked remarkably we'll. While at Los
Angeles l saw Euclid Martin and also
visited Hollywood. the new sunHner home
of Mr.. Wattles. 1t is a beauty, one Of the
finest in the state. Arizona and California
are good places to visit to get rid of the
chilly blasts OF winter, but for a good all
round climate give me Nebraska every
time. 1t is strange how many Nebraska
people you will meet when travelling in
out-of-the-way sections. 1 believe that
the Nebraskans are the greatest travellers
IN the United States You will find a Ne
braska friend wherever you go, and the
beauty of it is they always have a good
word for Nebraska 1t is becoming one
of the best advertised states in the union.
Omaha is getting to be known everywhere
And let me say right here that Nebraska
and Omaha deserve every good word that
can be said Of them. / know what I am
a Nebraskan to go away from home for
while to learn to appreciate just what
grand old state he lives in"

CHEROKEE OFFICES CLOSED
Illinois Central VIII Consolidate
Them with Headquarters at
Fort Dodge.

Announcement was made Wednesday of
several important changes in the operating
department of the Illinois Central railroad,
none of which will materially affect Omaha.
The Cherokee division offices at Cherokee
are to be abandoned and moved to Fort
Dodge and the Cherokee division consoli-
dated with the Omaha division. 1t is
rumored that retrenchment Is the cause
of the move although some officials declare
this action has been contemplated for sew
eral years.
All the lines west of Fort Dodge are 70

Jones, superintendent OF the Omaha division,
is said to be slated for the position of
trainmaster OF the consolidated division
with c. b. Fletcher. superintendent Of the
Cherokee division as superintendent with
headquarters at Fort Dodge. Tralnmaster
Atwil will go TO Dubuque.
The Omaha division contains 2S6 miles and
the Cherokee division 293 miles making
the consolidated division $40 miles long, the
longest on the system. II is currently re-
ported that all divisions on the Illinois Cen

same length as divisions OF the Union Pa.
cific and Southern Pacific.

claim there is a way to spray the fruit and
the vines to keep the fruit sound and
healthy and then there is a method of
storing the big punches of rich native fruit
and keeping It for the holiday trade. The
price is low during the two or three weeks
of summer; then consumers pay as much
per pound for imported grapes as they pay
for basket OF the native fruit in the sum
rner season.
"The methods demonstrated at the
horticultural congress will make the grape
industry so profitable that those who own
the hills cannot allow them to grow UP in
brush and serve as COW pastures and hunt
ing grounds" they affirm.
Then the apple growers are TO have their
iLIing and learn from the experts and
from the demonstrations which will be
made how to keep the summer apples until
the holidays. In summer the particular
variety known as "Wealthles" sell for 30
to 40 cents per bushel. If stored and kept
until Christmas it will bring from 70 cents
to SIS per bushel.
After discussing the proposition Tuesday
evening the business men of Council Bluffs
decided to 20 ahead with the plans for the
horticultural congress, which was origi-
nally planned tc be held in connection with
the corn show. The corn show is rapidly
outgrowing the original plans and 1t be-
came necessary to send the fruit show
across the river.
| S. r. McKelvie has started a move to
secure $1,000 for premiums for Nebraska
corn exhibitors besides the regular pre-
mums to be offered by the National Corn
Growers association. 1t is the aim of Mr.
McKelvie TO make Nebraska come to the
| front as the greatest corn state in the
union and the $1,000 viii be for the best
exhibits of Nebraska corn only.

Barrows office Tuesday and compllmented
them for their efficiency in the care of
the building He expressed himself as in
sympathy with the general desire OF the
laboring force for better pay. but told them
that the subject was one which would
have to be controlled by public sentiment,
backed up by their newspaper friends. 1t

LESLIE WARNS YOUNG LOVERS
County Judge Will Prosecute Those
Misstating Their Ages.
HAS CASE IN HAND AT PRESENT
Roy Says He is of Age, hut Hts
Mother Declares Him 20 he
Only Eighteen, and He
Is Married.

Grooms with the first fuzz of manhood
on their lips ami brides that look as
though they should be wearing shoetop
skirts will have to produce positive evil
dence OF their age before they can wed in
Omaha, under a regulation just promul-
gated by County Judge Leslie. The affl-
davit Of 'he young man will no longer go
with the license department, where there
is any reason to doubt the couple are
under age.
The reason for the rule was the mar
riage Tuesday afternoon by Judge Leslie
of John X. Mershon. barber at the Mer-
chants hotel shop and Golde Houck
Mershon made an affidavit he was q years
old. but Wednesday morning his mother,
Mrs. oliver Mershon called Judge Leslie
up by telephone and told him the boy
would be 1S Thursday. The Nebraska law
positively forbids the marriage of boy
under Is consequently, II the mothers
statement is true the marriage is invalid.
While the brides mother and relatives were
| present at the ceremony. the groom's rela-
| tives knew nothing of It until after it had
! taken place. Before he tied the knot Judge
/ Leslie asked the young groom his age and
he answered very positively he was 2l.
VIII Prosecute Hereafter.
81 am going to investigate this case fur
| Their" said Judge Leslie, "and don't know
| Just what l will do in regard to it. But ]
| am ready to announce positively the next
| time 1 find a case where a false affidavit
has been made regarding the age of either
| of the parties / going to turn the
matter over to the county attorney with a
request that he prosecute. The practice
will have to stop. Further than this, am
going to require hereafter, when l have
any doubt that the parties are of age, that
they furnish positive evidence that they
! are competent 20 marry. The affidavit
| will not be sufficient. other evidence must
be given before the license will be Is
sued"
Shortly after the Mershon wedding an
other couple was turned down by Mar
riage License Clerk Furay. A man evi

said she was 21, but she could not give tn,

minutes later they both returned.

THAT would make you 80 years old,
