The more freight the railroads have to carry
the more easy it will be for them to lower
rates. In all such movements the various le-
calities can depend on the practical co-opcra-
ton OF the Manufacturers Exchange.
There is another thing wanted, which the
editors can materially assist in, viz. Every

So that the tariff agitation, no matter which
way 1t is finally settled, will cause some man
ufacturers to look westward for new loca-
tons. To all inqulrers the answer of the Ex-
change IS Select the location which is best
suited to your business, so long as ii Is In Col
orado." There are various lines of mauufac-
turing that could be established with advan-
tage in small towns rather than large cities,
rs for instance condensed milk factory, 4
potato starch factory, etc, etc. There should
be in every town some organization which
could not only answer inquiries but receive
desirable new corners officially and cooperate
with them in the establishment of new indus
tries.
We all haze absolute confidence In the fu-
ture growth and prosperity of Colorado,
which Is all very well In Its way; but God
helps those who help themselves; the citizens
Of Colorado at large and Of each district In
particular must do their part to hasten that
growth and prosperity; and In the towns ac-
tive Boards OF Trade can do effective work.
The editors, as usual, must, and no doubt
will, be found In the van Of all such public

A Pleasant Event.

We clip the following from the On
tario County Journal:
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock at the
home of the brides parents, on Chaplin
street, occurred the marriage of Charles
Ii. Caple, of Alma, Michigan, and Miss
Gertrude A. Smith. Miss Maud Cody
and Miss Maud Smith were bridesmaids,
and John n. Bates and Arthur Smith,
groomsmen. At the conclusion of the
first strain of the wedding march, exc
cuted by Miss Theda Mead, of East
Bloomfield, the wedding party descend
ed the stairs and took their places on
the white fur rugs at one end of the
parlor, and before bank of evergreen
aud goldenrod artistically arranged.
The faint strains of the wedding march
continued throughout the ceremony,
which was simply performed by Rev.
Ii. G. Townley, of the Baptist church.
The bride was attired in aprettily made
up gown of white dotted null ,and wore
white roses, and the bridesmaids were
similarly dressed. Following the cere-
mony the wedding reception took place,
at which over 100 relatives and friends
were present. But meagre descrip-
tion of the presents received by the
bride can be given, for they were GER
tainly "too numerous to MENTION" in
Guiding valuable silverware, furniture.
decorated china, etc. The floral decor
ations throughout the house were mag
nifcent. Amid shower OF old shoes
and rice the happy couple left on the
$40 train for their future home at
Alma, Mich, where Mr.. Caple is con-
nected with the post Office"
The happy couple reached home Sat-
urday night and were met at the depot
by about % of his young associates and
drawn down in canopy top rig decG-
ated with Chinese lanterns. On Tues
day night the parents of the bridegroom
gave a grand reception. being attended
and enjoyed by about $50 of our best

Mrs. Mary ID. Plum, who has recent
ly been chosen as the Principal of this
rapidly enlarging work, graduated IN
the Normal Kindergarten course at
Minneapolis in 1886. Since then she has
devoted herself with utmost zeal and
success to all phases of the work of a
kindereartner
Rev. David Burrel, ID. D., now OF
New York but in 1890 Of Westminster
church, Minneapolis, wrote Of her:
Mrs. Mary d. Plum has been in
charge of our kindergarten work at

for my session as well as for myself
in expressing the most sincere respect
for Mrs. Plum as lady and as teach

great influence for good. l am sure
that any work entrusted to her will bt

Mrs. +. l.. Miller, Pres. of the Free

lieve she has rare gifts as training

is thoroughly equipped for the work
and | should congratulate any that ma,

Mrs. K. +. Pomeroy, Pres. OF the
Woman's Home Missionary Society o
the Synod of Minnesota, gives us still
another view of this gifted and devoted
woman:
"It gives me great pleasure to make
mention of the valued services of Mrs
