dencc Of the brides father, Mr. Geo.
kirkpatrick, Mr.. John T. Lupton, Of
Council Hill, ILL.,, and Miss Ella l..
Kirkpatrick, of this city; Rev. i. w.
Straw officiating. The bride Is known
as one Of the most estimable young
ladies Of Mineral Point; the groom

and happiness and prosperity prom
ise to attend them. The TRIBUNE
speaks for many in wishing the new
couple full realization Of their
bright prospects. The bride was
beautiful in white silk and roses.
Owing to the recent death Of the
young lady's mother, the wedding
party consisted Of only members Of
the families. Mr.. and Mrs. 5. Lupton,
parents of the groom, and Mrs. Nap
per, a sister, and Mr.. Birmingham

THE Highland Press explains that
il was not "Sll per ton" but "Sll for
a sample loadn Of drybone that Mr..
Snow offered equivalent to about
$6 per ton--on which the miners
complaint was based. Had the Press
been more lucid In its statement, we
should have avoided the error. IT is
a strong assumption to say that Mr..
Bennett well knows that sample
load would contain, at the lowest,
thirty to thirty-fiye hundred pounds
Of ore The general understanding
here is that a bid on sample load
means that the load is to be paid for
at the rate per ton stated, whether
the load weighs l,90O Or 300. We
cannot undertake toanswer the Press
question of 'wby miners were paid
three times as much for ore in 1892
