 County Clerk.

County Clerk Robert Mooney anu d new precendent in the matter of encouraging marriage as an institu- tion. In brief, if the precedent is to hold good, applicants for marriage license may secure them under the condition that they will get their money back If there is slip between the license issuance and the altar ceremony.
 c. C.. Perry, aged 40, of Percy, Ark, called for a license few days ago. He wasn't so sure that Miss Lillie Booth. age 37, of Wiggs, Ark, would say yes when he proposed, but he wanted to be prepared with the H. cense in the event that was the only barrier between single cussedness rand connubial bliss.
 Explaining the situation to the clerks office, Mir. Perry was inform ed that he could take the license, the usual fee for which Is $250 (whether the privilege proves worth the price or not), and then if things break bad for him in getting the anticipated bride through the ceremony, he could bring the license back, and receive his money back, all but small fee of 50 cents to cover the necessary cost to the clerks office.
 Mir Perry thought that was about ass sss fair a proposition as others he had read of. and being an exponent of the square deal" he took the marriage license conditionally, and left with the best wishes of the en- tire force at the clerks office Bad luck overlook him, however, for on the page where the license had been recorded at the court house, is posted the original license, which has been returned, and writ ten across it's face is single word which tells in brief the story, void. :"

 Goodine. who has volunteered his ser
 vices with his drum corps, will sound
 assembly by his bugles, then the
 whole line will march to the center
 and the Blue and Gray will shake
 hands. Oh. what a grand sight that will be. to see the old veterans that once met on bloody fields of carnage,
 on this day meet and clasp hands in friendship and brotherly love. After that the command will open ranks and the parade starts to pay tribute to the heroes that fell in battle from '61 to '65, blue and gray alike. By order of the grand marshal, J.

MANY BILLS FOR
SHORT SESSION
Congress to Meet Next Monday
for Last Time Under, Re-
publican Rule.

Western Newspaper Union Esws Service.
Observation-Disclosures will recon-
vene a week from December for the
last short session of Republican con-
troll in national legislation.
While the vexing question of the
tariff is not scheduled for considera-
ticn this winter, the three months of
the short session will be crowded with
legislative work. In addition to the
annual grist of appropriation bills,
congress will be forced to dispose of
quantity of general and special legisla-
tive matter left pending with the ad-
journment of the long session in Au-
gust.
During the early part of the session
tie fouse will be busy shaping appro-
pr,ation bills, while the senate is dis
posing of the impeachment trial of
Judge Robert w. Archibald of the Com
merce court, set to begin December 5.
Several important measures will be
pushed for early action in the SENATE
among them the resolution of Senator
Works of California to limit the presi-
dent to a single six-year term; the
Sheppard-Kenyon bill prohibiting the
shipment of liquor into prohibition
states and the vocational education
bill of Senator Page of Vermont. The
bill of Senator Borah creating a De-
partment of Labor also is scheduled
for early consideration.
The Department of Labor bill has
passed the house, but that body still
ouid have to act upon the vocational
education bill and the six-year presi-
Dental term measure, if they passed
the senate. The prohibition liquor
measure will be pushed in the house
by Representative Sheppard of Texas,
who will succeed Senator Bailey in the
next congress.
Serator Kenyon's bill amending the
Sherman law, which has been before
the Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, undoubtedly will be brought
up for early action in the senate.
Efforts will be made during the ses-
sion to repeal at least a part of the
Canadian reciprocity tariff agreement.
The attempts failed last summer when
the repeal was attached to various
Democratic tariff bills.
Congressman now in Washington do
not expect any action on currency leg
islation during the short term.
In addition to these measures, the
calendars of both houses are crowded
with bills of more or less importance,
most of which will die with the pass
irg of the Sixty-third congress with
out even having been discussed.

'OUACW DOCTORS
CAUGHT IN NET
Government Makes Sweeping
Arrests for Illegal Use
of Mails.

Western Newspaper Union Ne~F Service.
Washington.-A nationwide raid, in
volving the practically simultaneous
arrest of 173 persons in the principal
cities of the country was made by post
office inspectors and United States
marshals upon doctors and drug con-
Germs charged with misuse of the
mails to solicit medical practice, or
to dispose of medicines and instru-
ments connected with such practice,
The raid-the most extensive and
far-reaching ever made by any de-
partment of the government-was
under the personal direction of Post
master General Hitchcock and Chief
Inspector Robert S. Sharp of the post
office department.
So carefully had the raids been plan
ned that when the first arrests were
made at Indianapolis, practically moth
ing was known of the governments
contemplated action. Working with
clock-like percision the inspectors
force spread over % states, carried
out the prearranged plans.
Chief Inspector Sharp and large
part of his force of 800 inspectors had
been engaged for seven months under
the orders of the postmaster general,
in working up the scores of individual
cases in which arrests were made.
Many of those taken into custody were
members of large wholesale and re-
tail drug concerns or physicians well
known in their own communities.
The government will prosecute the
cases vigorously, according to a state
ment by Postmaster General Hitch
cock.
Approximately 20 per cent of those
arrested are so-called pill Doctors
men who advertised their practice by
correspondence or otherwise-and sent
to their patients, either by mail or
express, various compounds in the
form of pills or powders. Analysis OF
these compositions by the government
chemist is said to have disclosed that
some of them are wholly harmless,
while others contain poisons.

PROSPECT OF LEGAL TANGLE
Result of Decision FaVorins Wilson
to Cause Progressives to Act.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
San Francisco.-Three weeks after
the national presidential election the
question of whether Wilson or Roose-
welt carried California was in a worse
tangle of legal complications and
threatened lawsuits than at any pre-
vious time.
Progressive leaders, disappointed by
a court decision in Los Angeles in
validating totals for electors in pre-
cincts where the election judges had
thought to save time and trouble by
not putting down tally marks for an
elector, except the top one on each
ticket, took heart and decided to in
stitute like proceedings in all the
counties in the state which showed a
plurality for Wilson.
The prospective action was announc-
ed following receip. III Los Angelo
of a telegram from Governor John
son at Sacramento beginning: 1T is
reported in the press here that the
Progressives are going to quit" The
telegram urged the contrary attitude.
Secretary of State Jordan reiterat-
ed his declaration that if the recount
in Los Angeles county ran over No
vember %, the date Professionally set
for the law certifying returns from
the state as a whole, he would wait
until he is understoo to have the
support of an informal opinion from
the attorney generals office, but if
proceedings promised by the Progress
many counties it became a question
how long Jordan could hold off.
