COMPEL MEN TO MARRY.
SO Says Preacher in a Sermon to Chi
cago Congregation.

cago Congregation.
Chicago, IIl.-"There is only one
good reason for not getting married.
and that is i'll health said Rev. Fred
erick b. Hopkins, in Pilgrim Congre-
gational Church. "a medical exami-
nation for matrimonial purposes has
more to commend it than such an ex
animation for life insurance.
THE state should compel men to
marry for the same reason 1t COM
pels education, and in some countries
military service. 1t is for the vel
fare of the state that there should
be the largest number Of homes and
normal and regular increase pfspop-
uIation.
Brutality and criminality are lislI-
ally the only valid reasons for di.
vorce. Neither, party should be per-
mitted to marry again in less than
three years, and, in most cases, the
offending party, never.
"If, after suitable acquaintance a
girl would like to marry man, but
he does not ask, then let her ask
him. Why not? If she wants him,
she will probably give him good
many hints, anyhow. So why not
speak out and ask for what you want ?
1t is useless conventionality and a
silly custom, any way we look at it,
to stick to the old-fashioned way.
Some young men are simply too
bashful for their own good, and a
nice girl ought to help out little, !"

Only a Few nomesteaders Affected By
Classiflcations Of Coal Lands
Since the publication Of an article
in another issue of this newspaper
relative to the notices received by sew
eral homesteaders that their final
proofs are being held subject to the
action of the interior department in
regard to the issuing of title OH lands
that are classified as coal bearing. Il
complete investigation of the matter
has been made by representative of
this paper. as well as by Secretary
Croft, of the LewistOwn Commercial
Club. The facts obtained indicate
that the matter is not of as grave a
nature as pictured in the original
article, although the facts stated were
in the main correct. However there
is no danger that actual home makers
will lose their lands, although few
entries are being held pending further
action by the Washington officials.
Nearly all of the townships which
ut one time were classified as coal
lands have been restored to entry,
and filings can be made without fear.
The government will do everything
in its power to encourage the building
OF homes. Special legislation will
doubtless be passed during the present
session OF congress with the purpose
in view of aiding the homesteader.

A DISASTROUS BLAZE VISITS MOORE

Judith Commercial Co. Building and Portion
Of Stock Destroyed...Loss $3S,OOO
Moore was visited by Il disastrous
blaze Tuesday night, the two story
building and nearly the entire stock
Of the Judith Commercial company
going up in smoke. The total loss is
fully s:'5,OOO, although considerable
insurance was carried on the building
and the merchandise, the net loss be-
ing reduced to about Sl5,OOO.
The fire was discovered at about
ten O'Clock at night. When first seen
the flames had made such Roadway
that with the inadequate means of
fighting fire the building could not be
saved. although fine spray of water
would have saved building and stock
with little difficulty. 1t is presumed
that the fire originated from a defec-
tive tiue. on the second floor.
The flames ragged tiercely until mid
night. The building burned was two
stories III height and about 10 by 100
feet in size. The front part Of the
building was entirely of frame while
at the rear was Il large stone addition.
But a small portion of the $40, 900
stock was saved.
