growing longer. There is generally a
change to bad weather Immediately
after the winter solstice.

We are glad that some of the leading
members of the Euchre Club are op-
posed to playing for prizes. Even
thought the value of the prize may be
trivial, it is species of gambling.
Parents should be careful of the ex-
ample they set for their children.

Standiford, Youmans & Eldred have
laid in an unusually large stock of all
kinds of goods, and their stock COM
prises nearly everything that is needed
In housekeeping. They buy Tor 'spot
cash" and they had bought and paid
for their stock before the Mckinley
bill got in its deadly work. They can
and will give you better bargains than
any house IN the county. 20
The first issue of the Alliance Re-
view, the new paper published at Kio-
wa, has been received. 1t is we'll got
ten up, well printed, full of interesting
local items, and starts off with bright
prospects for success. Its advertising
space is about all occupied with neat,
attractive, well-dIsplayed advertise
ments. This is something unusual for
| a new paper. There are no old dead
advertisements in the sheet. 1t shows
that the live, progressive business men

wish the Review great success.
The Christian church was packed
full, last Sunday night long before the
usual hour of services. Every inch of
| standing room was taken, and the aisle
was crowded nearly up to the pulpit,
while several ladies found seats on the
| platform. Even then more people went
away disappointed than the number
who found room in the building. It
had been announced that wedding SER
vice would be performed at the con-
clusiOn of the sermon, and as no names
were given, each person guessed at the
happy couple, and some went so far as
to say that double wedding would
take place. At the conclusion of the
sermon Mr.. Charles Mari and Miss
Annie Aubley preceded by Mr.. Clarence
Thompson and Miss Lille Eldred, man
aged TO push their way through the
crowded aisle, and stood before the al
tar. The first named couple were made
man aud wife, and the quartette filed
out of the house, but still the crowd re-
manned. The benedictIon ma; mas pro-
nOunced, and the janitor began to turn
out the lamps before the crowd would
move from the doors. Curiosity is a
strong trait in the human race.
