ARE CUPID AND JUDGE BERRY IN PARTNERSHIP? Fart that no Many Arr (kitJnjr Mr ried This Moirth Irftok Like In ducements Were Offered Either Dan Cupid, that little Rod of lore, has returned to Alliance and opened op an establishment after an absence or else the attnoRpheric con ditions here are such that y6ung men and women, and old ones, also, can not resist the mating call. Some say that It Is the result of continued prosperity under the democratic ad mlnltsratlon, while others are of the opinion that Cupid and County Judge Berry are In partnership In some sort of a fifty-fifty arrangement, Cu pid's part in the game being to sting the couples with his darts, while the Judge either gives them a license to allow them to hare the nuptial knot tied or else does It himself, in either Instance there being a fee connected with the transaction. At any rate up until Tuesday of this week Judge Berry had issued twenty-three marriage licenses this month. Fearing that some couple might have the happiness of the Br st few days marred by the knowl edge that they were one or two of twenty-three, and twenty-three be ing regarded as an unlucky number by some. It was necessary to scour around and rake up another couple or so, with the result that the desired end was accomplished. Alliance is getting to be some mat ing point for sure. Couples were married here this month from the east, the west, the north Rnd the -south, and some of them came a great distance to have the deed per formed. Licenses were Issued to residents of North Carolina, Illinois. Wyoming, South Dakota and Nebras ka. The following have been issued licenses- this month: John L. Hitter. Ellsworth, a-nd Mary McKlnley.
