HYMENEAL.

One of the most pleasant events of
the season is the wedding of Miss Ellen
Bishop, which occurred at the family
residence, in Paris, on Tuesday evening.
Ansel Woodwork, M. D., of Wakefield,
Nebraska, was the happy groom.
Relatives and neighbors to the num-
Der of sixty witnessed the happy event.
The last snow and succeeding cold had
repaired the sleighing. The queen of
night, from her lofty place in the
heavens, reigned regally, and made the
world bright and beautiful with her
silvery sheen. 1t was, indeed, lovely
night, and we thought its beauty and re-
pose suspicious of the joyful union to be
consummated. AT seven of the clock
the merry jingling of sleigh bells was
heard, and sleigh followed sleigh in
quick succession, and soon the large
parlors of Mr.. ]. P. Bishops home was
filled with happy guests. Miss Katie
Fowler presided at the organ, and sent
the happy tones of the Wedding March
floating through the rooms. All was
now quickened expectation, and soon
the bride and groom entered at the east
end, preceded first by Miss Clara, sister
Of the bride, and Mrs. Carrie Christie, of
Riverside, ILL.,, a friend and gchoolmate,
and next, the pastor, Rev. III. M. Corsbie.
They walked with measured tread to the
music of the march, and took position
at the west end of the parlor. The pas
tor very feelingly invoked the Divine
blessing on the union to be consum-
mated, and then in very happy mar
ner made them husband and wife. The
Divine blessing was again invoked on
the union consummated and on all pres
ent. Congratulations were showered on
the happy pair. Very elegant refresh
ments were served, and an hour or two
was spent in happy, social converse.
The bridal pair expect to leave for their
home in Nebraska this week.
Mrs. Woodwork viii be greatly miss
ed in the church and community. She
has always been active and unfailing in
every enterprise where woman's will
and work were needed. She was faith.
full Sunday school teacher; her work as
Secretary of the Sunday School was al
ways well done. She was always in her
place in the church choir and was an
enthusiastic worker in the Ladies' Mis-.
sionary Circle. She was exemplary as
q daughter and sister, and no domestic
duty was ever left undone. Her goine
will leave sense of large loss in every
mind in the community. The large
number of beautiful and valuable pres
ents, of which she was the grateful re
cipient, show in some degree the high
estimation in which she IS held by hel
neighbors and associates. The mem
bers of the choir presented her with 6
valuable walnut music stand. Severa
members of the church society united
and presented her valuable decorated
table service Of 40 pieces, but the pres
ents are too numerous to attempt to list

II DON'T FEEL LIKE WORK.

It makes no difference what business
you are engaged in; whether you are a
preacher, merchant, a mechanic, a
lawyer or common laborer, you can't
do your work we'll while you are half
sick. Thousands try to, but all in vain.
How much better to keep your organs
in good order by taking Parker's Tonic
when you feel " little out of sorts"
1t would be money in your pocket. One
hour of good. rejoicing health is worth
half a dozen hours full of languor and
main.

A Characte,.istic Endorsement ON the
Record Of q Federal OmcIal who
Thought the Presidents Order Amount
ell to Nothing.
The suspensions of District Attorneys
in one day for fagranr violations of
the Presidents order forbidding of
ficials to take an active part in political
campaigns are the best possible proofs
of the sincere purpose behind that or
der. Upon the record of M. E. Benton's
contumacy President Cleveland in
dorsed ..Let this officer be suspended
at once" Benton is Democrat, and
the United States District Attorney for
the Western district of Missouri. Un-
mindful of the Presidents order he
was making a regular stumping tour
of his State, with appointments adver-
tised for nearly every evening up to
the eve of election. He can keep his
appointments now, but it will not be
at the expense of the United States.
William A. Stone, United States Dis
trict Attorney for the Western district
of Pennsylvania, Republican, suffered
for like offense.
| These examples were necessary to
| vindicate the sincerity OF the ffesloenS.
which has never been questioned BY the
people, although the object of continu-
Gus partisan sneers Here in Chicago
the Federal officials are paying strict
attention 10 the business for which
they draw salaries, in very marked
contrast with the conductof their pred
ecessors under the last Republican
Administration.
Doubtless the President finds it diff
cult to draw the line where the legiti-
mate freedom of political activity L
limited by the service due and the time
paid for out of the public treasury.
