not get the description of the costumes

quite correct, and We are requested to
give the right version, as follows:
Miss Abbie Davis was dressed in
cream Henrietta trimmed with Persian
braid and pearl beads. She wore bo-
quet of roses and lilies of the valley.
Miss Margaret Gable wore cream Hen
rietta trimmed with China silk and pearl
beads and boquet of forget-me-nots.
Miss Eva Boegen wore cream Cashmere
embroidered in silk and tulips for boz
uuet.

home at the corner of State and Mar
shall streets at IL As o'clock Friday fore
noon. He was sick but three days,
and died of ear trouble and meningitis.

sorrow among all who knew this young
man. Though modest and retiring, he
won the esteem of all acquaintances,a and
his many exemplary and kindly quail
ties drew about him manv close friends,
who were attached to him as to BROTH
er. Mr.. Parsons considered him most
invaluable assistant. Always prompt
and accurate in business, and habitually
having kind word or smile for an ac-
quaintance he will be greatly missed.

have the warm sympathy of their many
friends in this hour of their sad distress.

AN ELEGANT ESTABLISHMENT.
The Harness and Saddlery Store of
w. 3. Walker g. Son now open
to the public.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS.

W.B. Walker & Son have become set
tied in the fine, large quarters which
they have for some time been preparing
for their extensive business. There are
said to be but two larger stores OF the
kind in the state, and none are better
appointed and equipped. The room is
six feet wider than the ordinary store,
furnishing ample room tor the various
lines of goods dealt in. The immense
plate gl.ss windows allow a fine view OF
the interior. The right side is occupied
by a line of light show cases, the sliding
doors of which give way to the gentlestt
pressure. These hold hundred set OF
light harness. On the left are glass cases
of turf goods, and further back are cases
of yalises. The remainder of the left
side is devoted to heavy farm harnesses.
Tables down the center are heaped with
busters, fly nets, robes, etc. There are
trunks galore, and a revolving rack is
covered with saddles of every shape.
There are also racks of whips. The
building was made thirty feet deeper In
order to accommodate workshop.
where only first class workmen are EN-.
ployed, who turn out only first class
work.
Mr.. Walker has been engaged in the
harness trade for forty years and no man
is better posted in all its departments
than he. His business in this city has
been established twenty-five years. He
has recently taken his son into partner
ship. The firm can be depended upoI
as thoroughly reliable. They have al
establishment of which they may wei
feel proud. Many new features of ar
rangement, obtained by Mr.. Dyer Walk
er in the twin cities and elsewhere, art
incorporated in it. New stock is arriv
ing every day, all being of the best man
ufacture. Anyone desiring ANYTHING il
their line will find 1t to their advantag,
and profit to give Walker q Son call
We trust that the success they attainet
in their old quarters may abide witt
them in their new store.

The breath of a chronic catarrh
patient is often so offensive that he be-
comes an object Of disgust. After time
liberation sets in, the spongy bones are
attacked, and frequently entirely de-
stroyed. A constant source of discom-
fort is the dripping of the purulent Sc
cretions into the throat, sometimes pro-
ducing inveterate bronchitls, which in
in its turn has been the exciting cause OF
pulmonary disease. The brilliant re-
suits which have attended its use for
years past properly designate Ely's
Cream Balm as by far the best and only
cura.

HE PRESIDENTS SALARY.
How 1t Compares With the Pay of Crowned
Heads and Other Magistrates.


The sole income of the president of the
United States, from the treasury, is his salary
of $4,000 year. He draws il at the rate of
$4,166.2 = month. This is a fraction more than
$500 a week and Sl60each for six working days.
Until Grants time presidents lived on half this
salary. Experience has shown that the present
sum is large enough to cover the expenses of the
most eXtravagant households and leave a COM
Portable balance in the purse OF a presidential
family of moderate ideas. Yet there is not
another magistrate at the head of any people
exceeding the number of ten millions who does
not receive larger salary than the august,
potent and tolling president OF the United
States.
The shah of Persia, who has nothing to do
except boss several hundred wives, is in the
enjoyment of S30,000000 year. Then there
is the car OF Russia. whose chief duty is to
keep from being blown up. He is paid some
thing like Sl0O00,OO0 yearly The dignified
king of Siam gets along on like sum. The
royal family of poor, miserable Spain receives
S3,gOO.OO0 every year, and Italians sleep out OF
doors and eat nothing but maccaroni to make
up purse of 100000 and more for their roy
alties Such figures as these console the British
people somewhat for their annual outlay, under
specific laws, of s, ,9l5 600 on Victoria and her
family, to say nothing OF indirect e1tOrtions
and perquisites.
That reformed pirate of the seas, the sultan
of Morocco, is slightly compensated for his
self-denal by an annual allowance of 8, ,5O0,-
600, and the mikado of Japan receives s., ,3OO,-
600. The khedive of Egypt draws 1875, 900
from the substance OF that taX-ridden land,
while the Hohenzollerns content themselves
with q yearly tribute of Sl,125,0OO from the
Prussian empire. Even the sultan of cotton
clouted Zanzibar pockets a million
year, and 100000 are wrung from the
Saxons of SaxOny, no more considerable COM
munity than Illinois in population or Massa-
chusetts in geographical area, by the reigning
of monarch Portugal, Sweden and Brazil
each spend about six hundred thousand dol
lars on their kings.
The republic of France allows her chief
magistrate only 100000, but little Hayti gives
her president $4,000 a year. Switzerland's
president comes the lowest of all the rulers of
the earth His salary is $1,000 year.
