~ SOCIETY.

One OF the most interesting social
events that has occurred in the county
for some time was a double wedding at
the residence of Deputy Sheriff J. f. Is
bell at Rivera Wednesday, January 20,
at 7 p. m. The contracting parties were
Mr.. Isbell's daughter, Miss Ollie, and
Mr.. Morrill, Holbrook, and Mr.. IsbelPs
son John and Miss Minnie Knox. The
marriage of the latter couple was sur
prize, as the guests assembled thought
they were there to witness only the
wedding OF Miss Isbell and Mr.. Hol-
brook. Mr. John Isbell and Miss Knox
stood up with the first couple while the
knot was being tied, and when it was
completed, Johnnie" as he is famil-
iarly called by his friends, astonished
the guests by producing a marriage
license and asking that he and Miss
Knox be married also. The officiating
clergyman, the Rev. Mr.. Lawrence OF
Downey, complied, and in few mo-
ments they, too, were pronounced hus-
band and wife. After congratulations
were extended sumptuous dinner was
served, and merry-making was the order
till late hour. Only the relatives of
the young people were present, but of
these there was large company. The
presents received were numerous and
valuable. MIR. and Mrs. Holbrook will
60 to housekeeping at once in their new
house, adjoining Mr.. Isbells place.
Young Mr.. Isbell and wife will make
their home for the present with Mr.. Is
bell, senior.

BASEBALL CHATTER.

Old Los Angeles Favorites Coming
With San Jose.
The San Joses-the champions of the
Pacific coast--will be given warm re-
ception on Sunday afternoon. Every
one who takes the slightest in
terest in baseball will be on
hand on Sunday afternoon to see
the opening game with Los Angeles.
1t should be the greatest game ever
played on the coast. Los Angeles will
put forth a sensational team, and the
game will undoubtedly be the most ex-
citing ever played in this city. There
are several old favorites among the San
Jose team. Charley Dooley, the first
baseman, played with Los Angeles sew
eral years ago, as also did Ebright. The
guesses on the attendance are rolling in
by the score. The young ladies are
taking quite an interest in the compe-
tition, judging by the large number
who daily send in guesses.

La Gr,ppei

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for it's
cures of severe colds. This remedy
successfully counteracts the tendency Of
the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemics of the
past two years has failed to discover a
single case that has not recovered or
that has resulted in pneumonia. Fifty

A prominent young club man of this
city. who is noted for his faultless attire,
was exhibiting a costly, gold mounted
handled silk umbrella, which was ingen-
iously fastened with tiny silver paddock,
to number of friends, with the remarks:
eff it had not been for this locking de
vice I should have lost this valuable UNI
brella long ago. Picking up the wrong
umbrella on a rainy day is as time hon
ored a habit as the borrowing of your
neighbours lead pencil and returning it
back to your own pocket. To test this
question to my full satisfaction / strolled
into the lobby of a well known hotel one
wet, stormy day, and swapping the little
lock through the wire spring under the
folds of the umbrella placed it in a prom
ineut rack among a number of others. On
looking over morning newspaper | pre-
tended to be deeply interested in its col
umnS.
IL had hardly turned my eye when a re-
specially dressed gentleman picked up my
umbrella and off he went. IL was raining
in torrents, he couldn't open it, and in
moment or two he returned. ramming il
back and muttering something about
mistake took another one from the rack
and was gone for good. You may not be-
lieve me, but for one hour that umbrella
came and went every five minutes-men,
women and children, old and young, grave
and gay. The performance was kept up
until il tired me out. / took charge of il
finally and sauntered off home. "-Phila-

A Rem arkable Railroad.

Taken altogether the Russian Transcas-
plan railway is one of the engineering
wonders 'of this, the ironbound century"
AT first it was considered impossible to
maintain road through the shifting
sands of the Kara Kun desert, bat Gen
eral Annenkoff, who was superintendent
of construction, oyercame what was sup
posed TO be an insurInountable obstacle
by covering his railroad with clay and
planting the sides with thickets Of desert
plants and shrubs. But when this had
been done and the road bed assured, cry
went up to the effect that the scheme
would have to be abandoned because there
was neither fuel nor water along the line
The doughty general solved the water
problem by bringing water in pipes from
the mountains, and his cousin constructed
a locomotive which used petroleum. for
fuel. But yet there was another great OBJ
stacle in the way-the classic OxuA, which
would have TO be crossed with a bridge
,0OO feet longer than the Brooklyn wonder
This difficulty was finally overcome, and
the road is now in active opcration--St.
Louis Republic.
