IN
LAW
Court to Decide Whether Couple Is
Married or Not.
An interesting and new point was raised
In a case which came before Judge Green
yesterday afternoon In the district court
on an appeal from the court of one of the
local Justices of the peace. In the Butt
In question John Olson had garnlsheed the
waes of J. C. Chadwell, an employe of the
Northwestern railroad, who owed a bill for
grocerlea of about S4). Chadwe'l claimed
exemption from garnishment on the
grounds that he was the head of a family.
It was shown that Chadwell had on July S
of this year been married at Logan, la.,
to Mina J. Halle of this city. The court
records show that Mina Halle had been
divorced from John Halle as late aa April
lft. liXig.
On behalf of Olson, It waa contended by
counsel that the marriage between Chad
well and Sirs. Halle was not valid ns it
was In vlolatlun of the recently enacted
statute prohibiting divorced persons from
remarrying within a year after the decree
of divorce has been entered and that conse
quently Chadwell could not legally claim
to be the head of a family.
Tor the defense it was contended that
while the law prohibited the marriage of
divorced persons within a year. If such
persons desired to take the chance of lay
ing himself or herself liable to the penalty
and married in the face of such a law, the
marrlaKC would still he legal.
Justice Oreen took the hitter view, hold
Ins; the marriage valid and that Chadwell
was the head of a family and consequently
hia wuiree were exempt from garnishment.
Judge Cireen of the district court took the
caae under advisement.

Much-Wanted Man Sklpa Out.
BOONE. Ia., Dec. t. (Special Telegram.)
John Wlntera, badly wanted In this city,
charged with assault with attempt to do
great bodily Injury, has akipped. Winters
Is the man arrested a short time ago after
shooting the town marshal at Dayton. Ha
was taken to Fort Dodge, then released on
$1,000 ball and returned home to Boxhelm.
After the aasault on the marshal a crowd
gathered and cried, "Lynch him." He
pleaded for protection. The case against
him here la said to be a strong one. Wln
tera, It Is alleged, assaulted Conductor Ket
tles on an Interurban car north of Boone.
When the conatable went to arrest him
Winters had flown, forfeiting his bond at
Fort Dodge and getting away from the
officers here. Bootlegging chargea are
pending here of old standing. The man
la an undesirable character and the officers
are chagrined at his departure.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. 1. (Special.) Revo
lution In the method of selling delinquent
taxes Is threatened by some members of
the legislature and It la now practically
certain that a bill will he Introduced In
the Thirty-third general assembly provid
ing for a radical departure from the pres
ent system In vogue.
it Is quite generally elalmed that the
manner of selling delinquent taxes now Is
unfair and there have been strong Intima
tions of corruption in the disposition of
valuablo parcels.
t'nder the law as It now stands the
county treasurer holds an auction sale
on delinquent taxes. The tax Is supposed
to be sold to that bidder offering to accept
the smallest portion of tlio property as
security. It Is customary to hear bidders
ory one-one millionth and even smaller
Inconceivable amounts. Where the prop
erty Is valuable there are many bidders.
In Polk county the delinquent tax aale
takes on the appearance of a Board of
Trade pit during an Intereatlng fluctuation
of the market. Fully 100 men. when tho
description Is read, cry out their bids and
wave their hands. They stand on chairs
and tables, waving their arms and shout
ing with all their might. From this hub
dub the county treasurer Is supposed to
pick tho man who bid the lowest. It has
been customary for him In Polk county
to mark down the name of the winner
without e-en announcing the name.
Claims have been made In the past that
In the crowds of bidders were men who
were buying delinquent taxes for the treas
urer himself. Whether It taken advan
tage of or not the possibility of false deal
ing Is present. The syfltem is, to say the
least, considered nn unfair one.
There Is considerable talk of amending
tho law so as to have the sale awarded to
the bidder who agrees to pay the tax
for the lowest amount of Interest. This
would make the bidding of advantage to
the person who has been unable to pay
taxes, as It would bring down the Interest
on delinquent taxes to the lowest amount.
As the law stands the bidding means noth
ing to either the county or the delinquent
taxpayer. It Is probable this movement
will have the support of the tax commis
sion, which will urge several reforms be
fore the general assembly.

Myers-Dillcm Drug Co. Receive Big Consignment of
Dr. Nott's Famous Hair-Culture Formulas and
Give Fifty Bottles FREE on Thursday.
NEBRASKA Is In the thick of one of tho most
remarkable campaigns ever maptied out for the
happiness of gray, bald and thin-haired mor
tals. Down at Memphis two remarkable hair-culture
formulas gained for Dr. Nott a reputation that has gone
far beyond the boundaries of his own Tennessee. The
demand for these tried remedies has become national.
The presentation of pictorial evidence is here
made, which shows the carload lot of Dr. Nott's
Q-Ban Hair Restorer and Dr. Nott's Hair Tonic,
which was consigned by the wide-awake and thorough
ly reliable Southern house The HcBsig-Ellls Drug Co.,
of Memphis to MyerB-Dillon Drug Co., of Omaha.
There are a lot of people in this world who have
taken the Osier theory to heart. To some of I hem
gray hair is more than a bugbear. It is looked upon
as a business handicap.
Omaha's gray-haired people those who are car
rying around premature evidences of ace, as well as
those with old. thin, faded hair are Intensely inter
ested in this Dr. Nott proposition to restore to all gray
hair the color of youth. The positive declaration Is
made that three bottles of Q-Ban Hair Restorer will
bring about this much-coveted result. In case of fail
ure, the guarantee given covers return of the entire
cost of the treatment. Not only this, but to the first
fifty people who call at the store of Myers-Dillon
Drug Co., at S. K. Cor. ICth and Farnam streets, on
Thursday, December 3rd, a full sized bottle of Dr.
Nott's Q-Ban Hair Restorer will be given free.
This big shipment of Restorer and Tonic is evi
dence of faith In the Dr. Nott preparations, The fact
that 90 pr cent of the cases of baldness are benefited
by the use of the Dr. Nott remedies Is one reason why
Omaha is interested in this novel hair-culture cam
paign. Women whose hair shows signs of thinning
out are invited to do a little investigating of their. own
and learn how many of their sisters have been bene
fited by the tonic treatment indorsed by Dr. Nott.
