An English authority recently de-

der such conditions they grow steadily
and keep in good order. 1t is astonishing
on how small a quantity of food the ami
mails will keep up their growth in dry sea-
sons, provided the pasture in which they
are placed is watered by a running
stream, and nothing seems more essential
to their welfare than a plentiful supply
of water, and it is all the better if it is
in the form of a stream rather than of o
pond.
A. fair range is desirable, but where
space is limited it is an advantage to
have more than one Enclosure and use
these alternately, but the grass should
not be allowed to get too large or too

Yearling cattle are the most suitable
animals to feed off young or newly laid

low without biting out the hearts OF the
plants as sheep are liable to do, and they
do not trample as heavily as do older

The frog should not be cut, as it forms
a natural cushion for the foot, and as the
pressure of the foot comes on it, it
spreads out and so keeps the hoof elastic

White dresses for the maid of honor
and bridesmaids are preferred to colored
gowns for the evening weddings. The
richest silks are chosen for the gown of
the maid of honor, while bridemaids
wear chiffon or net dresses. A white
Muscovite silk gown for the most
favored maid has a low-necked pointed
corsage with a silver-beaded bodice and
a chiffon bertha. Long transparent
sleeves are of chiffon, and there are
slight chiffon paniers. The dcmi- trained

only three breadths at the top-a good

wore white chiffon gathered over white

The Miners "Rustled" for the Bride.

Colonel Hart, manager of the Cornu-
copia mine of Neihart, told IN interest
ing little story the other evening, says
the Salt Lake (Utah) Herald. Here it is:
One of the principal owners of the Mol
lie Gibson mine at Aspen, COL, had q
daughte. who was married a few years
ago. Shortly after her return from her
wedding trip she went to her father and
told him she wanted a house. The old
gentleman, after o few moments DELHI
Grafton said: MY girl, I'll tell you what
I'll do, I'll give you one days work of
any two men in the mine you may Sc
lect." The bride IL ought this was
rather a slim allowance from one who
could we'll afford to be generous, and
she was not slow to express the disap-
pointment which she felt.
The young lady was very popular with
the miners, and when they heard of the
proposition which the chief had made to
his daughter they held a meeting and
selected the two best workmen from
among their number. These two worth
ies presented themselves before the
young lady, and after q vast amount of
preliminary bowing and scraping the
spokesman addressed her as follows:
"say, Miss, if you will only choose
US two fellers you'll never be sorry for
it. Well git an everlastin' rustic en- us,
and we will stick the old mar for you.
You can just bet your sweet life we
will"
She selected these two men, and on
the day appointed they did ''git an
e~verlastin' rustic on them," aud succeed
ed in sticking the old man to the full
extent of their promise. Ore to the
value OF $51, 600 was taken out by these
two miners In one day, and one of the
very finest mansions in Aspen was the re
suit of their toll and the selection made
by the ycung bride.

WiTTER-CARTER.

The marriage of Mr.. George F. Witter
to Miss Mamie Carter, of Humbird
took place in that city on Thursday,
January 22nd, at the residence of the
brides parents.
While it was surprise to the people
of this city, they believe it very prop
er thing for George to do, as he is old
enough, fine looking, and all together a
fit subject for such a ceremony. His
friends congratulate him.
The correspondent from Humbird to
the Merrillan Times, speaks of the we'd
ding as follows:
"a quiet wedding took place at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. E. D. Carter,
on the evening of January 22nd 1891, at
six O'Clock, when Geo. F. Witter, Jr., of
Grand Rapids, and Miss Mary Garter,
of Humbird, were joined in marriage by
Rev. n. R. Kinds, in the presence of a
few relatives and friends. The parlor
was handsomely decorated with choice
flowers, and the bride looked lovely in
a suit Of cream, with corsage boquet of
Jacueminot roses. After the ceremony
the guests were invited to the dining
room where they were bountifully serv-
ed. The bride, who has lived in our
midst since childhood has by her ami
able disposition and lovely character
endeared herself to all. The groom is
a rising young lawyer, and was former
ly principal in our high school, at
this place, and was highly respected.
After social evening" the happy couple
took their departure on the II 80 train,
taking with them the hearty good wish
es of all for their future prosperity and
happiness"

RAILROAD CASES.

1t has been generally known for some
weeks that a large number of the labor
ers on the new railroad had not been
paid, and considerable Wo de" has be Il
expressed that matters should be left tC
90 so. It may be of interest to oui
readers 20 know the facts, which are
briefly as follows
In June last, John r. Ryan, of James
vile, took the job of grading this end OF
the new railroad. He seems to have
taken it at too low figure for it APP
peared that he was coming out behind.
He evidently saw this fact, too, for on
November oath, the day before he was
to have paid off fifty or sixty of his men
he took the south bound train, and has
not been seen here since.
To make matters worse he left behind
an incorrect payroll, on which he had
credited the men with only part-in
some cases scarcely one third-that was
due them.
Mr.. Scott, supposing that the roll lef'
by Ryan was correct, offered to pay the
laborers the amounts shown to be due
them but refused to pay any more
These amounts the men refused to take
and they put their claims INTO the hands
of B. NJ. Vaughan for collection. Notice
of these claims were at once served or

This put the claims into such shape
that there was no way to avoid payment
and they were last eek paid in full.
We only ask why couldn't they have
been paid earlier. and not allow the
dishonesty of one man to cause fifty

In reading the last Enterprise we
were panied to read the item therein
in reference to Charles L. Duncan, city
Marshal. 1t is apparent to any one
who knows him that the item was
prompted by some other motive than
that of dishonesty or an unwilllngness
to pay his debts. Mr.. Duncan has been
a resident of Centralia a good many
wears and is too we'll known to be
injured by any such reflection. He has
ALWAYS paid his bills with us and every
body else that we know of. Such items
always reflect back on the writer. The
reference TO the poor farmer and the
wood is merely difference in trade
between them. To publish a man as a
drunkard, dishonest and deadbeat we
believe is llbelous and an indication of
poor Judgment
