J. A. jerks of Eau Claire is in the
county jail at Chippewa Falls facing a
charge of bigamy. jerks has a wife
and two children in Eau Claire, one of
the children baby born ten days ago.
He was known in Chippewa Falls as j.
A. Johnstone of Fond du Lac and on
Tuesday was married to Miss Margaret
Clark at the home of her mother and
stepfather near Chippewa Falls. He be-
came acquainted with Miss Clark, much
to her sorrow in December and believ-
ing he was a a single man as he repre-
sented himself to be, consented to
share his life, but it was only. for twen-
ty-four hours, for the next day he was
brought in," says he's sorry, but he
does not think of two other hearts that
are sorry also.
When Johnstone was missing the tel
ephone became busy and the arrest
soon folio wed. The Chippewa Falls
Independent says by jerks that was
an awful stunt to pull off. And mar
riage license was kept out of the papers
by request but not by request of the
popers. All marriage licenses ought to
be published in this case and some
others trouble and agony could have
been avoided, by jerks.

WELL TO DO BUT
WILL NOT BUY FOOD

Mrs. Barney Liskow at Marinette had
her husband brought into court on the
charge of insanity. She testified that
he and she had both worked hard and
saved money. ..
They had kept separate account for
years, and neither would make any al
lowance for household expenses. So
despite their bank balances, it was all
they could do to scrape up something
to eat. Every meal time meant quar-
rel.
The judge and two doctors decided
Barney is sane, and Judge Stiles told
Mrs. Liskow to go home and cook up
something to eat without quarreling
about it. or he would try them both as
to sanity.

PEARL FISHERS USE BELLS.

Newport, Ark, Sept. 29.-The pearl fishermen of the White River are now using diving bells with which to search for pearls at all depths of water in the river. The diving bell weighs about 300 pounds and is lowered from a boat, the man below the surface keeping his companions informed of his movements and his finds by means of signals. When bed of pearl bear ing mussels is found the diver is hauled to the top and the spot dragged by power dredges.
 The water in White river at low stages is clear as crystal and the bot tom of the river is spread before the divers eyes in glittering panorama on clear day. While the new method of securing shells bid fair to revive the pearling industry for time to its old proportions when Newport was the headquarters for buyers of the gems from all over the world, it will undoubtedly hasten the exhaustion of the supply of the pearl bearing mus sells.

NEVADA MOUNTAINS LOCATED

Descriptions, latitudes and longi- tudes of 70 triangulation stations in Nevada, established in 1913 to 1915, inclusive, are given in Bulletin CHAM of the United States Geological Sur vey, Department of the Interior. Most of these triangulation stations are on prominent mountain peaks, and each IS permanently marked by a bronze tablet suitably inscribed. The true azimuth or direction and the distance in miles from each station to visible points are given. These positions serve as basis for the topographic maps of the Geological Survey and may be used by local engineers as points to which to tie land or mineral surveys.

man, seeing that he was caught red handed, confessed to willful swindling and was later convicted and jailed.
 MT. Kirby's work was clever and while done from pure faithfulness of duty, the fact that Farm and Ranch paid him a reward of $25.00 for this arrest and conviction proves that a vigilant officer can do great good to his community and himself by gather ing in these grafters while they are in sight.
 News travels fast among this class and the subscription crook will give Mckinney a wide berth in future, knowing that wehn he enters there he "leaves all hope behind"
 The local publisher, and subscrip- tion agents who live right in the town and who help to support it, no longer have to buck against impos- sible competition. The public who patronize the local agents gets what they pay for, the publisher is not con- demned for the work of crooks-and thus quick and thorough work of a vigilant officer becomes a permanent benefit to the public at large.

FOR PROHIBITION NOW.


 FOR PROHIBITION NOW.
 MT. Alexander Nesbit has been sher- if of Denver for 12 years-and he didn't vote for prohibition Here are some of the many things he said about the good effects of the law In an in- terview published in the Pueblo Chief tain:
 The habitual loafer has disap- peared. The crowds that used to hang around the lower end of the city at free lunch counters have gone. Where, 1 haven't the least idea. Like last summers flies, they just disappeared. Again, the wine rooms are no more and the after the theater dinners are over. There is no place to go except to the picture shows, and then for a light lunch and then home, unless they go to the pool halls. You know 1t doesn't take long to get lunch after the theater now. Few people say have another on glass of water And the old slogan, Let's have an other is misnomer in Denver. Neither do very many people say: Let's have another lunch and they get through and go home.
 We haven't had a case of murder since the first of the year. Our sui cides are falling off to a great extent; the mileage of the ambulance and pa trol wagon is less than 60 per cent of what 1t formerly was; our officers on the beats are treated more courteous ! ly; there is a better air morally around the city; the places where crime was formerly matched are gone and the city is better off in every way so far as its police department and their work is concerned.
 Let me tell you another thing, the can-rusher, the old soak who came home with a quarter in his pocket and sent his eight-year-old, ragged, bare footed girl to the saloon for can of beer and then tossed her a crust of bread while he swigged the beer and snarled at her through his drunken ness, is no longer resident of Den yer. You cant get photograph of one of these fellows in the city"
