Burns, who claims to ba In Lincoln for ths purpose of securing chorus girls for the east, will be tried In police court In the morning upon a charge of living with Mrs. Lissie Wilson after having a mock marriage performed. The woman, who Is only IS years old, and who soma months ago separated from her husband, told the police .that Burns, after shs had refused to llvs with him, assured her that he would secure for her a divorce and Mien thee would be nothing to prevent their marriage. Later the man returned to ths house, she said,' In company with a clerical looking Individual, and shs was assured ths divorce .had been secured. Then the stranger performed the marriage cere mony. The first ths woman knew that ths mar- riage was invalid was last night, when Burns told the police In her presence. Burns cams to Lincoln several weeks ago and has dons a thriving business examining gins to become chorus girls, charging each a fee nt tt. Several of these have complained to I the police, which lead to his arrest and the discovery or tne iaxe marriage, airs. Wllson and Burns became acquainted sev eral years ago, when' both wers on ths vaudeville stage, and upon their meeting here a week ago ths acqualntancs was re newed. Appeal Waif Bonnty Claims. Because Auditor Weston rejected a por tion of a wolf county claim belonging to the Lincoln Safe . Deposit te Trust com pany, the latter has appealed to the dl trict court. The claim was for $288. After the legislature had appropriated the money with which to pay ths wolf county claims ths company purchased some ot them. When the claim was presented the auditor struck out a third ot ths amount, holding that they had not been presented to him within two years - after having been cer tified by the county clerk. The case will effect some $2,000 worth of claims. Stops Work at Shops. Ths Havelock shops were closed today and i Idle men sat around, doing nothing, The stoppsgs was caused by ths failure of the pumps to perform their work. At first some little derangement of the pumps occurred and when the men tried to repair It they lost control of the machinery and the entire stoppage was the result. The pumps wfll be in working order tomorrow and the men will resume their duties. Watch Irrigation Case. i ne aecision in iiw owiw ruuu n 1 tton cose, filed In the supreme court yes terday, will be awaited with much Interest by members -of the State Board of Irriga tion, and all others Interested in that part ot ths state where Irrigation is necessary. Ths question that has most worried the secretary of the board In recent years Is what shall eonstituts abandonment of rights secured under the old law of 1K87. The statutes do not define the time and the question has never been passed upon by the supreme court. This question Is now before the court In this case. Rights se cured under the law enacted In 183 are de clared forfeited If work Is not begun In six months after the application is granted and pushed vigorously to completion, unless prevented from so doing by unavoidable and natural causes. Judge Grimes based his opinion unon this law and the state board arrived at Its finding under the old law. This injects another question to be decided. The Farm era Canal .company pleaded that it had stopped Its construction work because of a lack -of fins noes. In his opinion Judge Grimes held that financial Inability Is not that "unavoidable and natural cause con templated and meant by the statutes. Work on Fair Groaada. Work at the State Fair grounds Is pro gressing nicely and preparations have been made for the largest attendance and the most successful fair in the history ot the state. The first sight that greets ths visitor to tha fair grounds Is the large sheep barn, dtvxino, which has the capacity of aennmmo datlng 160 head of sheep. This Is ths most attractlvs barn on ths grounds, and ths next two buildings that Impress one favor ably are ths two new ones, built by two of the local merchant. -Ths new band stand Is nearly completed an the carpen ters are working on the roof. The entries thus far are the largest of any previous year. The state fisheries men are busy Improving their buildings and a new coat of paint will make It fresh and clean. The state farm has applied for the use of one of the cattle barns for Its exhibit The I board Is daily receiving congratulatory let ters on Its success In securing the, famous trotter, Cresceus, for Tuesday, and the smaller towns In the state will be well represented by thousands of people who have signified their Intentions of attending. The Burlington Is anticipating an un usual crowd and In order to handle the passengers to the grounds promptly It has been decided to cover two of the tracks In place of one at the north end of the passenger station. This move will facilitate the business of getting traffic back and forth In a marked degree. It has been ar- ranged that the trains shall meet at the fair grounds and at Lincoln Instead of midway between the places. Aa one leaves the tortnlnus at each end of the route the other will pull In, and the waiting crowd will bs able to board the newcomer without tho least delay. In this manner the long and tedious waits will exist no longer. It will be necessary to place more trains on the run to carry out the plan outlined More coaches and engines will be pressed Into service, and If more are needed they wH1 added to the equipment. Last year the Burlington carried more passengers than it did for a number of years, ths trains back and forth being loaded with patrons. This season Is looked on as likely to be a phenomenal one, the weather per mitting, owing to the presence of the world famous trotter, Cresceus, and a number of other lesser attractions Cresceus will draw the largest number of people In years. Birds Leave Capitol Groaada. The absence of birds In the state capltol grounds Is eauslng much comment these days. During the last two months, with the exception of an English sparrow or two, not a bird has been seen in the trees oh the grounds. The wherefore of this is not known unless it Is ths birds are not coming this way this year. Two months ago a number of robins and other varieties were there in abundance, and as no one was al lowed to shoot them or throw rocks In their direction, no one Is offering a good reason for their absence. Addison Walt. who Is somewhat of a bird expert, says hs thinks they have gone to the wheat and other fields to get something to eat. Mr. Walt has made considerable of study ot birds and believes in ths article recently published that the day Is not far I distant when the bird will ba no mora. - - me article statea," said Mr. wait, "that the birds wers killed In the far south dur ing ths winter, after migrating from the north, either for food or for decorations it0T women's headgear.

Every preparation Is being made by ths many committees appointed by the Commercial club to entertain and to purchase neces sary commissaries for the entertainment of the Nebraska National guards, whose encampment takes place hers at Tork, commenclnK Wednesday next week.

The past two days have been Ideal weather for the growth of corn. Forty per cent of the corn of Tork county Is late, owing to excessive fall of rain last spring.
