"Moln Oott, am I too late? Have you
given my little girl n marrlago llccnso?" ex
claimed Michael Walenz In one short breath
as he rushed Into the odlco of Clerk Heed
of the district court at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. "She la, not of age, she la but n
little girl, an Infant. She was only IS years
of ago last February, and I will not let her
marry that man," continued tl.o excited
parent without waiting to give Mr. Heed
time to answer his first question.
While the excited old gentleman was
mopping tho perspiration from his bro',
Mr. Iteed looked through tho marriage
llccnso record and there fo'nd that a llcenso
hnil been Issued that morning to W. C.
Tavcrner, aged 28, and Katie F. Walcni,
aged 18. He so Informed Mr. Walcnz.
"Hut, Meln Oott, you had no right to give
her a license. Sho Is only 15 years old, my
llttlo Katie. She run away today at noon
and I came after her as quick as 1 found
she was gone and now I think I am too
lato. It la a bad business, that Is whnt It is.
I will have hlin," evidently meaning tho
groom, "arrested. I told him he could not
have my Kntle. She Is too oung to get
married, and to him, no never. It Is a bad
business, a very bad business, and I don't
know what I ahall do," exclaimed the old
gentleman as ho vigorously mopped tho
perspiration from his face,
.luxtlcc Ilryiuit OfltvlutcN,
Deputy Clerk llalrd, who Issued tho
license, informed Mr. Walcnz that a young
man named Charles Groves, who nccom
panlcd Tavener, had made an affidavit that
Miss Walenz wns 18 years of ago. Grovca
told Mr. Dalrd that ho had known the girl
alnco sho wns almost a baby. The girl was
not present when the license was Issued.
Tho services of Deputy Sheriff Anker wero
enlisted and In company with tho father
of the young woman the offices of tho
Justices of the pcaco wero visited. Justice
Fcrrler had not Seen the couple, but on
reaching the omco of Justice Bryant, tho
distracted father learned that tho ceremony
bad been performed fifteen minutes before
and that his daughter Katie was now Mrs.
Tavener.
Mr. Walenz becamo much excited and
questioned the right of tho Justice to marry
girl under 18 yoars. The Justice showed
him that the laws of Iowa permitted a girl
of 14 and a youth of 16 to marry, provided
the marrlago wns legal. Justice Dryant ex
plained that as the license had been Issued
by tho proper official ho did not know of
any cause why ho should not perform the
ceremony. The excited father left tho
Justice's offlco threatening to havo everyone
In sight and out of stsht arrested and
hastened back to the omco of the clerk of
the district court.
"Meln Oott, I was too lato. I knew that I
was; they aro spliced," ho said In answer to
Mr. Reed's question as to, whether ho had
found his daughter. Thinking that perhaps
his daughter had roturnod to Omaha, Mr.
Walenz decided to hasten back thcro.
Whipped for Niimliiy 10ni'iiiuil(
From Mr. Walonz, who conducts a hotel at
ISIS Leavenworth stroot, Omaha, It was
learnod that tho girl had been keeping com
pany with Tavcuor against her parents'
wishes nnd that Tavener had been refused
tho house. Sunday tho glr,l slipped nway
from homo and with' Tavener camo to Coun
cil Dluffs for tho purposo of getting mar
ried. Tho offlco of the clerk was closed and
they wero unable to Becure u license. When
her father learned of what she bad dono, ho
aald, ho gave her a good whipping.
Yesterday morning after she washed the
breakfast dishes and flnUhcd her other
duties about tho house tho girl slipped out
of tho back door and mot Tavener In tho

hour later and tho father at once hastened
to Council Dluffs. According to the girl's
father Tavener is a teamster and, although
he gave his age as 28, Is said to be old
enough to bo her father. Mr. Walonz de
clared that Tavener could not afford to pro
vldo properly for his team, let alone a
wife.
When Tavener and tho girl appeared nt
Justlco Bryant's office, tho Justice recog
nized Tavener as a man who had called on
him tho day Buffalo Hill showed In Council
Bluffs. Tavener at that time told Justlco
Bryant ho was engaged to a young woman
In Omaha, but her father kept her under
lock nnd key and ho wanted to know If the
Justlco would assist him In kidnaping hor,
as bo called It. Squire Bryant told Tavener
that he could not assist In gottlng the girl
away from her parents, but once on this
side of tho river ho would marry any couple
If tlioy had tho proper license. Tavener, be
foro leaving, said ho guessed he would try
to get the girl to Buffalo Bill's show In the !
nfternoon and then tho rest would be easy,
Ho Inquired as to how lato Justice Bryant
kept his offlco open. As Havener did not
show up ngain that day, the Justice con
cluded that tho ruse to get the girl to tho
show did not succeed.

The council refused to certify to tho 3
mlll levy fixed by the Board of Library

for the purpose of erecting a library build
ing. This action was taken by the council
on tho opinion of the city solicitor that un
der tho amendment to tho statute passed by
the twenty-eighth general assembly It had
that power. Tho original statute conferring
on tho boards of library trustees In cities
having a population of 25,000 upward tho
power to levy not exceeding 3 mills a year
for tho purchaso of real estate and tho erec
tion of a library building was amended fo
as to give tho city council power to levy
"such tax or so much thereof as It may deem
necessary to promote library Interests."
City Solicitor Wadsworth gavo it as hit
opinion that the amending clause gave the
council tho right to reject the entire levy
If It so thought fit.

IOWA ANTI-SALOON "LEAGUE

Unwonted Activity In

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. 26. (Special.) The
state Anti-saloon league began Its annual

cellaneous program, and tomorrow the busi
ness sessions will be begun. There aro a
a largo number of members present and

now than at any time the past few years.
The reports from the officials will show
that they have been unusually active the
past season in prosocutlng violators of the
liquor law' and have secured a larger num
ber of conviction tjian oyer before. The
officials work only In counties where there
Is prohibition andmake no attcmnt to ln-
t"fr, wfro the' present mulct law Is en
forced. Tho president of tho association,
H. H. Abranis, has traveled extensively
over the state He Is in favor of somo Blight
moQincations or tho mulct law, but other
wlso declares that tho temperance peoplo
of Iowa aro well satisfied with Its work
ings. Somo members of the league called
a state political convention to bo held hero
at tho same place as the Anti-saloon lcaguo
to nominate an anti-saloon republican ticket,
under tho Impression that Mr. Cummins.
candidate for governor, would bo In favor
of tho repeal of tho mulct law and the sub
stitution of a license law. Since he has
como out In a public Interview declaring
ho Is In favor of letting tho law romaln a3
It Is promlnont members of tho league have
como out in his favor nnd say he Is good
enough temperance man for them. Presi
dent Abrams of tho leaguo will take tho
stump for the republican ticket. It is
lenrncd that Instead of there being n chance
to havo tho leaguo select a new candidate
for governor there Is a movo on foot among
tho members to procure the Indorsement
In the leaguo of Cummins and the entire re
publican ticket.

this city tomorrow. Tho district Is made
up of Hardin, Hamilton and Wright coun
ties. The first session of tho convention
wns In Eagle Drove, August 13.
It was In session for three consccutlvo
dnys and cast 2,682 ballots without change
The volo each tlmo stood: Wallace of
Hardin, 20; Brlnton of Hamilton, 17; Harto
horn of Wright, 16. To break the deadlock
Hamilton county's candldato offered to re
lease his delegates provided tho other
candidates would do likewise. They re
fused. It Is believed by local politicians that
Brlnton will succeed. Wallace has had ono
term and precedent In this district forbids
two.
Out of tho sixteen years that tho district
has been organized Wright county has had
the senatorshlp twelve years. Briton seems
to bo tho logical candidate. When tho dele
gations are released, which they must be to
break the deadlock, It Is figured that they
will como to Hamilton county ns It has
never had the senatorshlp since being In the
Thlrty-soventh district.
