Gone to Get Married.

Scout Fianuer, the Salvation Army
man, who had been the street seusa-
ton for the week previous left here
last week for the object, he stated to Il
confidential friend, of getting married,
remarking that he was going to return
and bring his wife with him. The
Erery EccniHG Of Monday, has the fol-
lowing item bearing on the subject:
" The first social sensation in SALIVA
ton Army circles this season is the am
nOuncenent of the engagement of
Scout Linneaus Fianncr. now stationed
at the corps barracks, on West Tenth
street to Martha Taylor, of this city.
The date Of the marriage has not been
made public at this time, but il will be
announced by flaming posters and
the ceremony will be performed IN the
barracks as a star attraction, to which
a silver admission will be charged.
" The groom elect is a veteran in the
Salvation Army, and mas marched to
many victories with his corps. He has
withstOOd the smiles of the women ca-
diets in his army for the past 10 years
but will surrender his bachclorhood TO
n Wilmington woman after a two
months soJOum in the city lie is
about 40 years of age but time has
dealt with him SO lightly as to leave
but few indications of his years"
From an item in yesterdays Norm
ing Ne'CS it would appear that they
were married ON Monday, in Philadei-
phia, and that when they returned to
Wilmington, in the evening, Trout
Taylor, the brides father, hourished IL
knifeand threatened to kill Flanner. lie
was awested and locked up in the hall.
Last evenings papers state that
Flanner has Il wife already living and
that he has been dismissed from the
army and not permitted in the future
to associate with them. lie returned
to this town last night with his bride
and has taken room under the Town
Hall.

A Contemporary published in a town
that like all the others, has a lot of
boys who spend Sunday in an idle or
vicious manner says:
1t would be assuming too much to
say that the Sunday School is pana-
eea for all moral ills, but statistics prove
that 1t is s. great fundamentally for
good in the community, that children
who are found, regularly, in The Sun
day School do not furnish SO many ne,
eruits for the jail and the penitenGary.
This fact alone, should induce all who
desire the prosperity of the community
70 give their eORRtenance and support
70 these institutions, For if the Sun

Burlington Hawkeye Our invcstiga'
ton so far of the political movement OF
the counties in Iowa have revealed to us
the following facts Enthusiastically and
clearly
l. Since the republican party assum-
ed an attitude Of increasing complacency
toward total prohibition there has been
y movement among the counties from
republicanism and toward democracy.
2. One.half the counties participating
in that movement opposed the amend
ment.
3. OF the eighteen republican counties
which opposed the amendment only
three have remained reliably republican
since; six have become invariably dem
o~cratic, five more have since been Of
tener democratic than republican, and
the other four are doubtful.
4. That of the three anti-amendmcnt
counties which remain republican, the
following is true: They never were
anywhere near being democratic, and
the majority given against the amend
ment was nominal.
5. Not democratic county favored
the amendment.
6. Not IA democratic county has be-
come republican.
