The following, from n Lawrence cor
respondent of the Kansas City Journal.
will be of interest to our readers.
The marriage of Miss Mary V. Clark,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. +. Clark, of
our city, to Mr.. p. +. Foley, of the En-
poria book bindery, is a happy event
which will be consummated at the home
of the brides parents, at 10 o'clock a. m.
TODAY. Miss Clark has long been a IA
vorite in Lawrence society, has often
been quoted as the handsomest lady in
our city, and possessed of & sweet dis
POSITION and keen sympathy. A num-
Der of elegant and valuable presents
have been received from relatives of the
cuniracting;parties and their friends will
show sincere appreciation of the hap
py couple to-day. Mr.. Foley has charge
of Chalfant & Graham's book binding
department at Emporia, and the value OF
his services is substantially evidenced by
his employers. He has won one of Law
rence's fairest daughters for his compan-
ION through lIfe's journey, and may II
be happy and profitable one to both.
Mr.. Foley, having attended closely to
business since he came TO Emporia, is q
comparative stranger to our people, but
he has established the reputation of be
ing an excellent workman, and with his
accomplished bride will be welcome
addition TO the social circle of the city

The ottawa Railroad.

We understand there is again some
talk of the railroad from Ottawa over
here-the line about which there has
been more ''gas" manufactured than
about any proposed road in the country.
Whether this attempt will end in talk
we are not able to say. There is no
doubt in our mind that the people are
ready to meet any favorable proposition
to build the road, and now that the Mis-
souri, Pacific runs into Ottawa, there is
stronger reason than ever for the ex
tension of the road to this city, Its CON
struction would give US bee line to st
Louis, and anew, and direct route to Chi
cago. When 1t is built we ought, as q
point, to have some very decided
local concessions. If the matter shall
come to the point that we shall be asked
to extend help, let it be extended for helI
for ourselves instead of for the builders
We have fooled away some very fin'
railroad opportunities, and we ought no
to give ourselves away again. We trus
the enterprise is in such shape as to in
sure the building of the road, because i
Is very much needed.

Bachelors Reply.

EDITORS NEWS: We noticed in your
issue of last Monday an article, the
author of which seemed 10 be disturbed
in mind concerning the welfare of q
number of US bachelors. Now the writ
er hereof, speaking for himself, IS in
clined to believe the author of the arti-
Gle referred TO is in much the same pre-
dicament as was the fox in the fable,
who b ad lost his tail in trap, and
knowing that he must go through life
thus, he at once set about to contrive
some means by which he might stand on
equal footing with his fellow foxes not
withstanding his irreparable loss.
And this is what he did:
He went around among his comrades
and told them that tail was useless
appendage; that no well regulated fox
had any use for tail; that there was no
advantage whatever in having tail;
that he had come to these conclusions
after mature feliberation, and had cut
his tail of; that he was well pleased
with the change, and would not under
any consideration wear tail again, and
advised all his comrades TO adopt his
fashion.
But the sly old foxes winked of each
other and said to the fox who had lost
his tail: You have been caught in a
trap and thereby lost that which you be-
fore priced highly, and With which y06adI'
could not have been induced to part, and
which can never be replaced, and you
want us caught in the same trap. We
DO not think one IN your situation
proper one to advise us. And the sly
foxes didn't take his advise. No, not
by large majority, and they never were
caught in the trap. BACHELOR.
The above appears to be the legal
status of the bachelor question and we
cheerfully publish 1t for the benefit of
those interested.

If not above being taught by a man,
use Dobbins' Electric Soap next wash
day; used without wash boiler or board,
and used differently from any other soap
made. Il seems droll to think of q quiet,

day, with no heat, no steam, or smell Of
washing through the house, instead Of
long days hard work; but hundreds of
thousands Of women from Nova Scotia

this is done by using Dobbins' Electric
Soap. Don't buy il, however, If too set
