10-Day Repeal
Bill Is Signed
by Governor
Bars Down to Nebraska Cou
plea After July 2 Under Pro
vision Ending Short
Lived Restriction.
By Ths Associated Pres*.
Uncoln, March 21.—Governor Mc
Mullen this morning signed the bill
repealing the 10-day marriage notice
requirement, a bill prohibiting the
trapptrfg of muskrats on another per
son'a land, and also a bill to validate
court proceedings except on only five
holidays of the year.
These five holidays are New Tears,
Memorial day, Fourth of July,
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The marriage bill strikes from the
statute book a law enacted only two
years ago, and signed by Governor
Brytn, which required that appli
cants for marriage licenses glvs 10
days' notice of their Intention to
marry. The law resulted, during the
last 18 months, In a majority of the
weddings of Nebraskans being
solemnised in bordering states, par
ticularly in Council Bluffs, la.
Repeal of the law means that after
July 1, a couple may get a marriage
license at* the same time they apply
for It, and be married the same day.
"It’s a fine law,’’ said Herbert
Stubbendorf, Douglas county license
clerk as ho filled up his inkwell, and
put a fresh nib in his penholder. "I
expect an Increase In the license Is
suing business of from 200 to BOO per
cent during the coming weeks and
months.”
There was joy also among jewelers
of Omaha, who have foUnd during
'the last two years that the rings
were purchased largely on the other
side of the river when the licenses
were obtained there.
Rev. Charles W. Savldge, Omaha’s
"marrying parson,’’ greeted the news
that the Mil had been signed with no
attempt to conceal his satisfaction.
“Uncle Henry” DeLong, venerable
"marrying parson” in Council Bluffs,
was reported as viewing the future
with gloom. The new law will cut
down Uncle Henry's business ter
ribly.

Cousin of Mrs. Charles Milo

“The king Is dead, long live the
king!'’
Those words were spoken years
ago when a sovereign died. The peo
ple occasionally remarked that the
king can do no wrong. There were
other references to the kings when
they were popular.
King David Kalakaua of the Sand
wich Islands is dead, but his memory
is being revived by a group of Oma
hans who enjoy delving in the dim
and dusty past.
Kalakaua visited Omaha on Juanry
22. 1875, which event was referred to
a few weeks ago in The Omaha Sun
day Bee In connection with an In
quiry of Luclen Stephens, who want
ed to know who kissed Kalakaua
when he was In Omaha. The inquiry
brought many responses and stirred
up quite an Interest In the royal visit.
Mrs. Charles Milo Janecek, 611
North Fortieth street. Is the latest
member of the Omaha Kalakaua
club. She has more than an academ
ic interest In the famous king of the
Sandwich Islands, now known as the
Hawaiian Islands.
World Tour Quite a Chore.
S. G. Wilder, cousin of Mra Jane
cek’a father, accompanied King Kala
gaua on his notable tour around the
world during 18*1. Jt was considered
quite a chore In those days even for
a king to travel around the world.

plished in the art of making the
most of his physical attributes, he
made an Impression wherever he
went.
Mrs. Janecek’s relative traveled
with the king as adviser and compan
ion. In every country Kalakaua was
accorded the hospitality due a sover
eign. Wilder was recognised by the
king for his service In the islands as
a builder of railroads and of an Inter
island line of steamboats. He pro
moted commerce. George and Volney
Ashford, brothers of Mrs. Janecek'a
father, also were Identified with the
early development of the islands, par
ticularly Hawaii, the largest of the .

Which ?
Will it be a stunning ensemble costume that
proudly displays to the world how harmoni
ous and Paris-wise it is? Or will it be a
smart coat in one of the new light shades,
and a dress well-chosen for wear with it, thus
showing your knowledge of what is correct
this spring?
Ensemble Suits
The harmonious costume, one composed of
coat and frock designed to be worn together,
is likely to be of fine twill cloth with a frock
of silk, either plain or printed, with just suf
ficient wool to make it the companion of the
coat. Other ensembles are of natural kasha,
of flannel or of corded silks. This mode of
