LONG DEFERRED DECREE OE COUPLE MAY REMARRY JUDGE YAGER HAD REFUSED TO GIVE FINAL SEPARATION TO MAN WHO HAD MAHRIED BEFORE STATUTORY TIME HAD ELAPSED Judge Yager in the City court this morning entered a decree that will enable Nolan Zumwalt and his second wife to remarry and be happy again.

Zumwalt was granted a divorce May 16, 1918. The laws of Illinois forbid remarrage of a divorced person within a year. Zumwalt did not wait for the approval oriiis divorce decree, but remarried at once. The fact was called to the attention of Judge Yager who thereupon declined to approve of divorce separating Zumwalt from his first wife. The situation was complicated in that the stork was hovering over the home occupied by the second wife, and since that time a baby has been born.

When-the second Mrs. Zumwalt learned of the situation there was an agreement reached that she would separate from her husband, get a divorce and wait. She did so, and became the divorced wife of her husband. In the meantime, time was speeding along, a year had elapsed since Zumwalt was divorced from his first wife and there was no barrier in the way today when Judge Yager was asked to give his approval to the decree of divorce separating Zumwalt announced he would forthwith remarry his second wife, and that they would go to housekeeping again. The child that has been born will have no stain on its pedigree as, Judge Yager says, the law makes the child legitimate, as both the mother and child are innocent parties and so far as the couple understood at the time they were married, after the divorce, they supposed that everything was regular.

ALTON NO LONGER CATCHES OWN PISH Grafton is Supplying Many of the Mississippi River Fish Now Being Sold in Alton Markets. Alton is no longer supplying herself with river fish. The demand for fish has grown and the number of fishermen has decreased until Alton must seek outside help. According to the men at the fish markets the demand for fish cannot be met by the Alton men doing the fishing. The number of industries recently added to Alton has given the men more of a chance to work, and they can earn more money in these they could fishing.

This has resulted in some going out of the business. A Dumique firm has gone into the fish business, and has bought up some of the rigs at Alton. Josten and Young have moved their outfit to Dubuque. Bob Blankenship and Harmon Butler have gone out of the business here. Joe Timmons said: are being forced to buy much of the fish for the Alton trade from the Grafton market The fishermen patch the fish there and ship them to the Alton market for sale."

DISAPPROVES OP NON PARTISAN PLAN Republican County Chair man Says He Could Not Speak For Party fa tion on Constitutional Convention Candidates. A few days ago the i telllgenccr suggested that in UH- mat tor of nominating candidates i nr thl constitutional convention DU hii can and Democratic county om tee of Bond and Madison counties, together and name a non-partis ticket of candidates, who would elected without opposition to represent the 47th senatorial district in thn deliberations of th convention to Tramp a basic law for state.

Lane, of Alton, Republican county chairman was Mr Lane has given Out the statement thai he does not approve. He takes the position that whil he might consent to it, If he favored It, he does not feel that he has authority to speak in that respect for the 3,000 Republican majority in this district. He could giv no assurance that even though the plan was consented to that candidates for the office would abide by thp decision and remain out of the race if there was an agreement by jhr parties to have non-partisan tickets. 0 far there ls but one qualified candidate Cicero J. Lindley, of Bond county j' J.

Brenholt, of Alton, is said to be a candidate and In event of -his decision not to run, Gtlson Brown, of Alton, might become a candidate, but Mr. Brown Is In no mood to be a candidate If'it Involves a fight in tho pirrnary. It was expected that the Brenholt petitlo nwould be filed within a few days. But a short time remains within which to get the peittion filled out. On a strictly partly line two Republicans would be elected and so tho Democrats may put no candidate in the field.

It developed today that W. C. Hadley, of Collinsvllle had consented to get into the field for the Republican nomination for constitutional convention. It developed also that the Socialist Labor Party had selected two candidates who would be put before the peo- pl as candidates for that office and the socialists were planning to make a drive for votes enough to elect, hoping that In the general lack of they might get out a full vote and elect their men, regardless of the fact that the socialist vote in this district is negllble. There IB an Insistent demand from over the county that some Alton man of strength 'and mental ability make the race for the office.
