SPECIAL 20 sAs Argus,

Our usually quiet httlo town IL
more excited this week than il has
been since The big food. We have
had an epidemic of weddings here
this fall but one came Tuesday
afternoon that caps the climax.
At 2 p. m. at the residence of
Misses Jane and Sarah Metzler, the
latter was married to Solomon Sni-
der Esq, by Rev. c. L. McCauley.
Neither of the contracting parties
ever met before till last Saturday.
Mr.. Snider is well to do and lives
near Uniontown, Pa. He was a
widower and his children all mar.
ricd of and being still we'll ore.
served man. pined for another part
ner, and it seems heard Of Miss
Metzler through the Presiding
Elder Of this circuit, who was ac-
quainted with both. A correspon-
dence resulted and it was arranged
that he should come hero and meet
his bride, that is now. and il both
were satisfied, tho wedding would
take place at once. He came and
being 81 years OF age and the bride
48. no time was lost in counting.
Still our people knew nothing of
this and when a NUM- Der OF them
were invited in to II turkey roast
Tuesday, they were surprised to be
present at wedding also. That
night the boys gave them the big
gest send of that ever took place
here. Every old horn, bell,
sleigh bells, old guns and every.
thing to make night hideous, was
brought out. Uncle Billy Snidcr was
down with his by drum and q Jug
OF hard cider, and the serenade
lasted all night. The boys even
put Oft some dynamite and it Jared
the glass out OF the windows, but
they made up and paid for that,
Nothing else is talked Of. We
claim that Albrightsyille is ahead
OF KingwoOd now.

II the Corporation proposes to
use the old side walk, hauled over
to the East End, it should be put
down as soon as possible or else it
will be 50 far gone that it will fall
to pieces in handling it. The ex-
tension of the walk along in front
Of Mr.. Parks's is needed very badly
and some saw dust should be put on
the walk between The Cemetery aud
Mr.. Parks's gate, by all means.
This can be done very easily and at
a slight cost. The residents Of that
portion Of town have a right to
expect something from the Corpo-
ration, and we think they would be
satisfied for this year with the i'm
provement we haze named. They
are not expecting or demanding
everything at once.

MORE cEDED LANDS.

The ShoshOnes and ArapahOes of wy
oming Consent to Give Up Half Their
Reservation.
DENVER, Col, Oct. 17.-The reporter
of the United Press who accompanied
the commission appointed by Secretary
Noble to negotiate with Shoshone and
ArapahOe Indians of Wyoming for a
cession of portion of the Wind River
reservation, telegraphs that the COM
mission has been entirely successful
and has effected an agreement with
the Indians under which the latter cede
to the United States more than half of
their reservation.
The ceded land consists of about L.
100, 600 acres. For the land ceded the
Indians receive 5000, 900, or about fifty
| Eve cents per acre. OF this amount all
but a cash payment of $50, 900 will be
l.put into funds for the benefit of the In
I-dians and the annual interest expended
in the purchase and maintenance of a
cattle herd; in giving them irrigation
bitches, schools and other things neces-
sary to make the Indian self-support-
ing.
The land ceded is, with the exception
of 10O,0 900 acres, well watered, and the
bottom lands are rich. Coal and oil
are found on the ceded lands, and there
are indications of the presence of more
valuable minerals. The country is $50
miles from railroad communication,
and for its development needs a rail-
road line through it in the direction of
the Yellowstone park and the north
west
