June Marriage
Licenses Are Void
JUDGE HANSON RULES NUPTlAL
EVENTS IN JULY ON LICENSES
ISSUED IN JUNE ARE ALSO.
LUTELY VoiD-NEW LICENSES
MUST BE OBTAINED.

Judge Hanson of the county court
desires to call the attention of minis.
tiers and others who perform mar.
riages that there Is phase Of the new
marriage law, which went into effect
July I, that is very important to all
interested.
During June good many marriage
licenses were issued and of course un-
der the law in effect at that time
Many of the licenses were used that
month, but many of them we're not
used and according to Judge Hanson's
ruling they cannot be used in July, for
the reason that there has been no ex-
animation pursuant to the provisions
of the new law and holders of licenses
issued in June must procure licenses
issued in July in order to make the
marriage legal and competent to be
properly recorded according to law 1t
is understood that some June licenses
have been presented to ministers since
July l, for the performance of the
ceremony and have been returned to
the county court for record, but they
have been pronounced absolutely: void.

AND GREETINGS.
(From Fridays Daily.)

1t would take more than ram tC
phase the pioneers who faced the In

to found a new state and to construct
the foundations of a mighty common
wealth.
While the opening was suspicious
it was about two o'clock when the rain
drove the guests into the auditorium
tent where they were entertained by
Norton's band and Glee club.
Standing under raised umbrellas
with the rain dripping through the
open sections Of the canvas, some
seated, some grouped upon the stage
the vast audience waited patiently for
the rain to cease. After a time it
ceased somewhat and Lou J. Beau
champ, a veteran of the Chautauqua
platform, delivered his famous lee.
ture on Taking the Sunny Side." We
wish it were possible to publish this
lecture in full. We wish that the
brief extracts that are given could
bring to you with the cold type the
brilliant smile, the splendid delivery,
the fascinating enthusiasm. The lee
ture was most opportune, given at a
time when plans had miscarried and
the clouds had gathered the lecture
nicely brought the sunshine into the
huge tent and the skies soon became
brilliant with good cheer
We have taken some of the best
thoughts, and grouped them under the
heading,

"Some farmers spend $4,000 to i'm.

''Our churches need more old time

Love is the only good thing not

"Courtship is bliss and marriage

Don't marry man to reform him.

''There are three words which

forever on the sunny side"
After the splendid address by Mr..
Beauchamp, during which he alternate.
ly made us laugh, and we really did
laugh, and then cry bit and think
lot, the great audience burst forth
into tumultous applause to show their
great appreciation.

of his defeat of Frank Barrieau in

round forced Barrieau to the floor,

was exhibited during the mill was by
Barrieau. For six rounds he stab
bed Bud with straight left and oc-
casionally right cross. This had
no apparent effect on Bud except to
jar loose several of mis- teeth.
Half a dozen sessions exhausted
Barrieau's reserve, and in the sew

my fixed purpose is to oppose any

the separate parts of the unlawful
combination under the control of the

That the department of justice will
follow this plan, adopted in dissolv-
ing the Union and Southern Pacific
railroads, was asserted
In actual practice the plan is
working successfully" he said. "The
plan effectually prevented the Union
Pacific Company or its stockholders
who we're parties to the combination
from continuing in control of the
Southern Pacific.
Alleged violations of this law

numerically in much stronger force
than the federals, but the latter, it
was said, were so strongly entrench-
ed as to Offset this rebel advantage.
The federals, too, according to a
Mexico City dispatch, either just be-
fore the fight or while it was in pro-
gress, were reinforced by detach-
ment of 500 men from Cerrotes, who
succeeded in getting through the
rebel lines to help the Tampico gar
rison.
The rebels were said to be rushing
the federal entertainments with reck-
less courage, and the faderals to be
resisting desperately.
Whether Admiral Fletcher had
landed or intended to land marines
to protect foreigners and their prop
erty could not be learned. He was
in a position to do so, if he chose,
however as besides the Rhode Island
he has at Tampico the cruiser Ia
coma, the scout cruiser Chester, the
gunboat Wheeling and the supply
ship Culgoa.
In addition to these vessels there
were also the German cruiser Bremen
and the flagship of Admiral Sir Chris
topher Craddock's British West In
dian cruiser squadron, with Sir
Christopher himself on board.
