A u appy Event.

The Belle Plsine. (K.n.) Nesos brings
these facts Of wedding in that city on
Jan. 10 OF a former resident of Rock ISIS
and and well known in this city:
The marriage Of Mr.. L E. Barbour and
Miss Helen Wallace took place Wednes
day evening at the residence of the bride s
parents on North Merchant street, aud
constituted the society event of the
season. In response to large number
of cards issued several days ago quite a
concourse of friends assembled to witness
the ceremony. At 7:30 O'Clock Mendel-
ssohn's wedding march, trsnsposed and
resrranged for the occasion by Prof. S. S
Turley was rendered; Prof Turley, pian-
list, assisted by @. M. Turley, LIST violin;
Harry Rufe. and violin: Herschel Funk,
cornet. and Forest Barton, basso. Dur
ing the last strains of the inspiring march,
the double doors in the parlor swung open
and the bride and groom stepped for
ward amid profuse decorations and were
made husband and wife by a briet and
beautiful ceremony said by Elder J E
Cain. The bride wore n beautiful. helIO-
trepe henrietta and velvet with hand
some wreath Of cut flowers and looked
| the picture of health and loneliness The
groom wore the conventional black and a
smile equal to big Kansas suniower.
After the ceremony and congratulations
a bounteous repast was served, and Il
jolly. good, social time was had. The
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace has often
been the scene of happy gatherings be-
fore, but they eclipsed this time, all for,
mer efforts at hospitality. The guests
we're mainly from Belle Plaine and vicin>
ity, but there were quite a few from We'll
lington. Winfield and other surrounding
towns. The presents were numerous
varied and some Of them elegant. The
groom is well known as ths manager of
the Rock Island lumber yard. and the
bride is the beautiful and accomplished
daughter of Mayor and Mrs. W. R. Wal
lace. She has shone as one of the stars
of feminine society in Belle Plsi e. and
will be prize to Mr.. Barbour, on which
he cannot place too great a value. They
will make their home with Mr.. Barbour s
mother, Mrs. Kate Kaufman.

A MoIiu- Weman's Career Wound
Up in Davrnport---A Warning TO
Farmers Other Operations.
A Moline woman named Emma Olsen,
but who is more commonly known as
Drunken Emma" is serving ten days in
the city bastile at Davenport for shop
lifting. and also for the missppro priatiou
of articles Of wearing apparel, jewelry
and money from houses where she was
employed as domestic, and the Demo
ocrat says further of her career:
The woman halls from Moline. In that
city q short time ago q sum Of money,
amounting to $16. was found to have
evsporated about the time she left the
employ Of family of that place. EN-
mas operations have not been confined to
the mere acquisition of other peoples
property however. A short time ago
she made a citizen of Moline the pros
pective defendant in q suit of an inter-
estiDg CT sracter. He settled with her
for $50 The price was regarded as ex-
orbitant at the time. but the man paid it.
Then ste came to Davenport, lived at
the top notch, and last Saturday was
married to q gentleman named Flood.
There are two sets Of swiadlers going
through Illinois swindling the farmers
One scheme is to purchase the farmers
corn st twenty to thirty cents BUSH
ell and gst the farmer to sign q contract
for the delivery of the corn. which turns
up in some bank as q pTomissory note
Another and still later swindle is: the
sharper mas double fountain pen. which
is so arranged that it uses two kinds Of
ink; one will fade and the other will re-
main. The sharper makes an agreement
with the farmer and uses the ink that
fades, and then gives the farmer the same
pen holder. only II is reversed. and he
signs bis name. The words OF the agree
ment fnde and the signature remains,
when the sharper writes whatever he
plesses over the signature. In both cases
the farmer commits fatal blunder when
he signs his name for stranger. If he
would never touch pen in such a case
ne wouldn't be called upon to pay so
many frsudulently obtained notes.

death was the result of a severe attack OF

to America at an early age. HIS parents
settled in New York and embarked in
farming. He graduated from Union
Medical college at Schenectady, N, T..

for the sciences and especially for the
study of botany. In 1S46 the family

city. His professional career, however,
did not last long. He found the fields
