Annie talked to me In the hall did not know
what she said did not know anything except
that was to meet Lucille ct the foot Of the stair

an extract from the county paper:
the bride was arrayed In q charming drem Of
white organdy, and was, ~ every one MD, per-
fectly lovely. The bridegroom was dressed In the
regulation way, and was, as everyone agreed,
fine specimen of manhood. The contracting par
ties walked from the hall into the handsome parlor
OF the grand old house, where were seated many
friends. The Rev. Mr.. Gaines performed the cere-
mony In his most impressive manner. Col and
Mrs. Osbury have the thanks of the editor for Q

GOES TO ANNAPOLIS.

The examination of candidates for ap
pointment to the navel cad etship fromthe
second congressional district was com
pleted Saturday forenoon and the sue
cesful candidate is Mr.. Marvin Carver, Of
Tracy. The examination was not very
severe, but thoroughly tested the know.
ledge of the young men on the subjects
tested. Mr.. Archie True, of Fairmont
led Mr.. Carver strong race and came
out good second, receiving the APP
pointment as alternate. The other can
didate was Mr.. Norwood, of st. Peter
who passed creditable examination.
Mr.. Carver, the successful aspirant,
was born i'm Wisconsin and has resided
at Tracy for the past six years, attending
school most of the time, and clerking in
store for part of the time. He at
tended the new high school there this
year and would have graduated next
spring. He is bright, pleasing APP
pearing young man and is said to be a
good scholar. There il but one fear
as to Mr.. Carver's success at the ex-
aminatons which he must submit to
at the navel academy before being
admitted. The forefnger of his right
hand has been injured by machinery,
cutting the tip of his finger off and the
greater part of his nail. This may be
looked upon by the critical navy sur
geons as justlfyIng his rejection. In that
case his alternate, Mr.. True, will be ac-
cepted. The latter has attended the
Normal for several wears, and Is fully
qualified to enter the academy.
Mr.. Carver Is ordered to reportat Ann
apolis May 18th, and started Monday.
He left for home Saturday afternoon.

Mr.. Harry Palmer, engineer at the big
mill, Is out just $3.50 and at the same time
is minus a boarder. The latter was
Charles Wright, young Englishman
twenty-five years OF age, who has been
in America only about month. He
has brother at Rapidan who once
boarded with Mr.. Palmer. and in this
manner the young man became installed
there two or three weeks ago. He was
unable to find work and was destitute of
means, being obliged even to sell his
watch and spare clothing. Thursday
afternoon, unknown to Mr.. Palmer he
purchased second class ticket to New
York over the Chicago K Northwestern
road and left on the three o'clock train.
Friday morning Mr.. Palmer found that
500 in money and $3.50 certificate of
deposit on the First National bank were
missing from their hiding place in vest
under his bed. The inference is that
the boarder and the money left on the
same train. Chief Fowler telegraphed to
the police authorities of Chicago Friday
morning and hopes to intercept Wright
and have him brought back. Wright
was nice appearing young man and
none suspected that he was not honest,
though he had not paid his board bill.
