Vilas Meets 014 Comrade. A nice little incident occurred here dur- ing the visit of ex-Senator Vilas of W consin yesterday afternoon.

The men threw their arms around each other and for several minutes were locked in | embrace. This was (ho first meeting of | the two in thirty-elght years and the | janitor Informed the etate house attaches | that there was no significance in the fact | that he recognized Mr. Vilas by his back.

The case came up from Cass county Mrs. Eaton eued for divorce March 5, 1800, alleging crue Eaton filed a cross-bill harging crue and that Mrs. Ealon was under disability because of having secured a divorce from a former husband, Decemb 2, 189%, and having married Eaton March 21, i899. The plain denled the cross- | bil and that her marriage was made in | good faith. 1In the syllabus the supreme | court holds that there can be no valld marriage without the consent of the state: | “It is not the policy of the divorce law ! to encourage bigamy; therefore a person who has been released from wedlock by at P Eaton and E court today court judicial decision is not permitted to in- dulge the hope that if he marry again in violaticn of the statute the mafriage will be valid unless the decision is reversed." The statute incapacitates a divorced per- son from contracting a valid marriage while the judgment divorcing him is subject to poseible reversal. The court therefore | holds the Eaton marriage invalid, but it further holds that in this state the on essential of a valild marrlage is the free | consent of competent parties, and that | where a marriage contracted in good faith is void by reason of some removable im- | pediment the parties may, after the im- | pediment has been removed, become law- | fully united by continuing to live together with the intention of sustaining the rela- of husband and wife. In the lower the marriage was declared null and | void and Baton was relcased from all mari- tal obligations on account of it. Goes Back for Retrial.

A temporary bridge costing $95, and later | a permanent one costing $2,045, was con- structed in 1803 on tho line between the | two counties and the entire cost was pald by Saline county. | The bridge that had been replaced had | been erccted and kep. in repair by both! counties. After paying. the cost Saline county presented a bill for payment, which | was allowed by Gage county and a warrant drawn for its payment. A taxpayer of the defendant county appealed to the district In the district court the plaintiff pleaded two causes of action, one for one-half the cost of the permanent bridge and for one- half the cost of the temporary bridge. The answer was a general denial. Thé court found for the defendant. The syllabus is as to contribute follows: L The ltability of a county for the cost of the construction or repalr of a bridge on a highway extending along the line between that end an adjoining county is purely statutory, and the statutory Hability 1s based on sections 87, 88 and 8, Compiled Statutes, 2 When such bridge is constructed and the entirc cost thereof fs paid by one eounty, no cduse of adtion Ises against the adjoining county for bution in the absence of a contract in that behalf to which the latter county is a party. 3. Where repairs on such bridges are paid for wholly by one county in the absence of a contract in that behalf, to which the other party is a party, no cause of action arises against the latter unless it has re- fused to enter into a contract therefore. 4 That the latter county allowed the work of construction to proceed without objection, and when compelled graded the ches to the bridge, and that fts in- habitants used the bridge, wopld not estop the county, nor its taxpayers from denying the valldity of a claim presented by the former county to the latter for half the cost of such bridge. 5. That such claim was allowed by the board of the latter county is not available as an estoppal on an appeal from the order allowing such claim. Open Big New Elevator.

Nearly all of the rooms in all of the build- ings will present a more or less pretentious program, but it Is chiefly among the lower grades. that especial effort is being put forth. This Is especially true in the kinder- garten. Here Christmas is the season of all seasons and is observed above all others It is usually the last year in the child's school life before the reality of the Christ- mas myth Is outgrown, and the most is made of it, but it Is the spirit of the Christ Child rather than of Santa Claus that is emphasized. With possibly a half dozen exceptions there will be Christmas trees in every kindergarten and in these exceptions the fireplace will be used instead. There will be a bag of candy and popeorn for each of the little ones and in a few cases the teachers are planning some little remem- brances, but aside from these the child's share in the receiving ends, for it is the iving that is emphasized, and the whole spirit of the occasion is/the doing for some- one else. For weeks past the every day work of the children has included the mak- ing of many beautiful things; mats, paper sachet bags and a varietv of articles that are made doubly attractive by the use of bright materials and water colors, all of them for some one's else pleasure and doubly valuable to the child as manual and altruistic training. On Friday afternoon these bright efforts will be bung upon the Christmes trees and the parents lnvited to the “party.” As each child's name is called he will go forward, receive his gifts from the tree and present them to his parents, It they are present, and If not, will take them bome.
