Monday a man giving the name of Thomas McLaughlin, suspected of being connected with the robbery of the Waterville banks, was arrested in Kansas City.

R. L. COCKERILL, Clerk. Last Year's Marriages. The high cost of living has in no way affected the marriage market in this county during the past year.

The little god Cupid during the past twelve months has been actively engaged and the results of his labors are that the records of the two ious years in the number of licenses issued from the probate court have been duplicated -nearly. During the year just closed Judge Loch issued 200 marriage licenses against 201 for 1909 and 202 for 1908. Of these 200 couples seeking to enter the realms of wedlock Judge Loch joined in marriage at his office forty -eight and in his absence seven couples were married by his dep uty. Twenty-five of the couples to whom licenses were issued were the same age and in 152 instances the groom Wa8 older than the bride while in but twenty three instances the bride was the elder. Seven of the licenses issued were to grooms who were der age and in a like number of instances the brides were under age.

Out two licenses were issued to couples both of whom were under age. Six of the licenses issued were to grooms over fifty years of age and two to brides who had passed the half century milestone. The greatest disparity in ages was in the licenses issued to Joseph Mleneyek and Mary Hula, both of Irving. aged respectively sixty-six and twenty seven, and John Stowell of Seneca, aged sixty and Alma J. Burton of Colorado Springs, aged fortyseven.

The oldest couples who were granted licenses by Judge Loch were John W. Simmonds, aged sixty two and Lida J. Shoemaker, aged fiftyfive, both of this city, and Dwight Hackett, aged sixty-eight, and Adelia E. Taylor, aged -six, both of Frankfort. Charged With Bigamy.

M. L. McClure, a traveling man, who on September 21, 1909, married Miss Iva Lockard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.

F. Lockard of this city, is in the toils at Kansas City where he has been arrested on a charge of bigamy. His marriage with Miss Lockard took place in the office of the pro bate judge in this city, Judge Loch performing the ceremony. McClure at that time made affidavit that he was an unmarried man. McClure wag arrested in Kansas City last week on complaint of his first wife on the charge of desertion.

They have five children the oldest of whom is thirteen years of age and the youngest five months. It was through the fact of his arrest for desertion that it was learned he had married a second time. Mrs. Lockard learning of the arrest wrote to the Kansas City authorities for information stating that McClure had married her daughter on the date above given. McClure when interviewed at the jail declared he believed his first wife had secured a divorce when he married Miss Lockard, but later in the interview virtually admitted he had been living with both women during the past year.

McClure's trial for desertion is set for Friday, January 20. Claims They Beat Him Up. On complaint filed by Chas. Man rose Sheriff Sullivan and Deputy Nester on Friday arrested Proctor Keek, Jonathan S. Keck, a cousin of Proctor Keck, A.

Wilson who is working for Keck, and Pearl White at the Proctor Keck home northwest of Beattie and brought them to Marysville for trial before Justice W. T. Pulleine. In his complaint Manrose charges that these men got him drunk on New Year's eve and then badly beat him up. In their preliminary hearing before Justice Pulleine White proved that he was not present at the Keck home at the time of the alleged in dignities suffered by Manrose and was discharged.

The others plead not guilty and the case was contin ued until next Saturday. The de fendants were released on a bond of $50 each. Violated Prohibitory Law. Upon complaint filed in district court by Assistant Attorney General J. G.

Strong of Blue Rapids charg ing Nathaniel Suggett of Oketo with violation of the prohibitory law, Suggett was arrested Satur day afernoon by Sheriff Sullivan and brought to this city. He gave bond for $700 for his appearance at the February term. His bond was signed by F.L. Root and W.T. Thompson.

Took Many Prizene The poultry show held at Topeka last week was the biggest and best event of the kind ever held state and for that matter the in west. There were exhibitors present from seventeen different states and fowls of every kind were on display. Among those exhibited were many of the "'many times prize winning' fowls some of which were valued as high as $1,000. With such an array of premium birds it might have been thought hardly possibe that Marshall county would come in for 8 share of the honers but she did. Charles J.

Cook, the Barred Rock specialist, of southeast of town cleaned up the greater share of the premiume offered in that class of poultry. He had on exhibition enteen fowls as follows: Two pens of five each, two single cockerels, one cock, three hens and one pullet. There were a total of 348 fowls in the Barred Rock exhibit and Mr. Cook won sixteen ribbons with his seventeen fowls. The premuims won by Mr.

Cook are 88 follows: First and grand champion on male, third on cockerel. second on cock, fourth and fifth on hen, third on exhibition pen, third on pen mated for cockerels, fourth on pen mated for pullets, silver cup given by American Barred Plymouth Rock club for best display, silver cup for best colored male in show and the America Poultry associa tion's silver medal for the best cock erel in show. The Topeka Capital of Saturday says, in commenting on Mr. Cook's winnings: "The single bird which won the largest number of prizes at this show is the Barred Plymouth Rock cockerel owned by Chares J. Cook of Maryaville, Kans.

The total amount of prize money taken by this one bird was $54." H. T. Farrar of Axtell who had on exhibition Single Comb Buff Orpingtons won third on cock, sixth on hen and first, third and fifth on cockerel. W. H.

Hardman of Frankfort won two blue ribbons on him Mottled Anconnas, for pen of erels and pen of pullets. Want a New Township. A petition signed by Andrew KjelIberg and some fifty other electors of Murray and Noble townships was presented to the board of county commissioners Thursday who were in session in this city asking for the formation of a new township, to be named Lincoln township. The petitioners ask that in the formation of the new township the territory to be included in it be the south one third of Murray township and the north one of Noble township. Owing to the fact that the law requires that a ninety days' notice by publication be given the voters of the townhip in which any such change in desired to be made before any action can be taken thereon the hearing of the petition will not be had until the April session of the board.

With the formation of this town ship Marshall county will be subdivided into twenty five townships of equal size, six miles equare. For many years and up to last fall there were but twenty three townships and with the formation of Bigelow township from the one third each of Blue Rapida and Clear Fork townships but two townships--Murray and Noble remain larger than the rest.

THE TIME IS GROWING SHORTER Another change in the line-up of the contestants in our popular voting contest occurs this week and the votes of all the candidates have been materially increased, but not enough to be decisively in favor of any one.

The ladies are all doing excellent work, however, and our only regret is that every one of the eight handsome prizes cannot be a Smith Barnes piano. It's a case of the spirit being willing but the pocketbook too weak to stand the strain. But then the prizes offered are very desirable articles and will be very acceptable to the winners. In behalf of the ladies we would ask that the utmost courtesy be shown them and that you will not require them to come and see you time after time. If you are going to give them the benefit of your vote, do it now, and thus encourage them in their work.

The standing of the contestants was as follows yesterday: CONTESTANTS AND STANDING. Katherine Reiter, Marysville, R. F. D. 3.
