SHE BLUSHED TWICE
Kansas Bride Had To Be Married
Second Time.

"There are some folks that just
can't keep their mouths shut said an
assistant attorney general today, as he
read a letter from a county official in
Kansas county. No names or places
are given because of the possible EN-
barra ssment to the innocent sufferers,
who have already had enough embar
raSsment to last them for some time.
A probate judge went to hospital,
leaving deputy in charge. The pro-
bate judge died and before the news
of his death reached the county seat
the judge pro tenn issued a marriage
license. The couple were married by
Il minister. Then the county attorney
came around a day or SO later and dis
covered that the marriage license had
been issued after the actual death of
the probate judge. Under the law
the death of the official ends the Off
cial life of the deputy. Therefore the
county attorney, who seems to be one
of those technical lawyers, called up
the bride and groom and told them
they were not legally married. He
also called the preacher and told him
that he had performed a ceremony
without a license, as the deputy had
no power to issue license after the
death of the probate judge, hence the
license issued was illegal and worth
less.
Every one connected with the mat
'eI was entirety mhoCeHt, except the
county attorney. And IL he had read
some of the Kansas court decisions he
would have known that while tech
nically he was right, the courts have
held practically similar marriages to
be absolutely good and the courts have
frowned upon such technical rulings
where weddings were concerned.
But the county attorney was so Off
cious that the bride and groom went
over to ano' n county, got live pro-
bate judge to issue a license and were

London, Oct. 31-A transport
carrying 5000 American soldiers has
arrived at British port. During the
trip there were only fifty cases of in

caused by the disease. The success
achieved in combating the malady was
due, in the opinion of physicians, to
the fact that every man wore a cloth
