COUNTY OFTICERS RALLY AS AIDS TO DAN CUPIDtII*i\;While busily engaged in overtime I work in his office in the court houseThursday evening, S. A. Hendryx, deputy county recorder, was jarred out of his reveries of figures and motes and bounds by a timid rap on the office door. Throwing open the portalshe found a pair of blushing and timid-appearing people—a maid and a man. Inquiring their wishes the genial recorder was apprised of the fact that his nocturnal visitors were on matrimony bent.The man in the case gave his numeGerald Seydel, and his occupation and residence as a dentist at Anamosa. .• he young woman was introduced as Miss Hazel McCormick, also of Anamosa. Dr. Sovdel announced that he had telephoned to the county clerk's office requesting provisions for his late arrival I at Marion and for the provision of a marriage license. He could not understand why the clerk’s office was dark and deserted and begged of Mr. Hendryx his aid in straightening jut the rough places in the road to true love.Seth is a sympathetic sort of a fellow' and he got on the job with speed and alacrity. After much telephoning he finally located Miss Neva, Buck, deputy clerk, at a social function ai d persuaded her to come to the court itouse to issue the license. Then the fact developed that Dr. Seydel had neglected to provide himself with tne witness required by law for all tnose who would procure marriage licenses. More telephoning, and a Cedar Rapids dentist, a S. D. I. classmate of the Anamosa man, was brought to ihecourt house to certify to the retailsconnected with the obtaining of the license, and finally the bit of paper was issued.All these details out of the way and another resort to the telephone aroused A. J. Northrup, pastor of the Methodist church from his slumbers andhe agreed to arise and perform the marriage ceremony. The party then betook itself to the Methodist parsonage where the Anamosa people were made man and wife. For the sequel, take the words of Mr. Hendryx who says, “And they lived happily everafter.THREE NEW ACTIONS ARE FILED TO EQUITY COURTiThree new actions, all to the equity division of the district court, were filed today to the April term of the couit.
