were not very young either. When
Probate Judge Harper asked the gen.
tleman his age he said he didn't keep
any count of that but he guessed he
was about thirty-five. When asked
as to the lady's age he said, 20, about
twenty-five or thirty.
They went to the Planters Hotel
and when evening came sent for a
preacher. The preacher happened to
be in prayer meeting and could not go
at the time but promised to go
after the meeting. The young man
who was to shortly be doubled up,
thought he couldn't waste any time
so proceeded to take in the sights OF
the city by gas light. In short time
the preacher made his appearance.
He sat on lounge patiently waiting,
while the bride nervOusly turned Oyet

while the missing man came in and
the ceremony proceeded. That's a
dead sure snap" said he, after the
words making the two as one had
been said. IF I'd a known it was SO
dead easy I'd been a married man
long ago. Why thought I'D a been
scared TO death"
Yesterday he left his new wife at
the hotel and spent the forenoon up
town. In the mean time she had

the south side. Not finding her at
the hotel when he returned he felt
uneasy and asked the porter excitedly

She didn't get lost, however. and !;

kohlsaat Gets 1t.

CHICAGO, April oh. Fl. Kohlsaat has
purchased a controlling interest in the
Times-Herald and Evening Post.
Mr.. Kohlsaat has been intimately associ-
ated with Mr.. Scott for many years. Mrs.
Scott will receive from the Times Herald an
annuity of 100000 for tn years during life.
This income WILL of course, be in addition
to that derived from the sale of her stock.
The policy of the Tim s. Herald under its
new ownership will be that of an earnest,
patriotic American newspaper. It will be
wholly independent of party ties, striving
for that which is best for the nation, heed
less of the dictation of mere partisanship.
In national affairs, while avoiding alliance
with any party. it will always forcefully and
earnestly adv, te the doctrine of protec-
ton to American industry.
The paper IS absolutely opposed to the
free coinage of silver by this nation at the
ratio of 16 to 1, or at any other ratio.
Political independence at all times; pro-
lection to American industries; sound money
and complete non partisanshipi in municipal
affairs constitutes its platform.

bureau of immigration, telegraphs the Man

This colony has been organized by P. FL.

embraces farmers, mechanics and men in

A large proportion of the people will To-
cate on small farms in the territory selected,
while the balance will found new city.
The colonists have had a committee exam
lining points for a location in Georgia, Ala
bama and other southern states.
Governor Northen has b en- negotiating

Constitutional Point Raised.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 23.-The claim
is now made that neither Springer nor Kill
gore are eligible 10 the position to which
they were appointed, a provision of the con-
stitution makes any one voting to create an
Office from holding the position thus in
fuenced by his vote, either in the house or
senate. 1t is known that KiIgore worked
hard for the territory court bill passed, in
order to prepare a place to get into when
he was forced OUT of congress, and it is also
known that Mr.. Springer took consdera BILE
interest in the matter and voted. 1t is said
this point will be made against both when
the matter of confirmation comes up and if
does not change his opinion, neither can re-
ceive pay for services except by speci Il act
of congress. Judge Springer is to make an
argument before the roller in opposi-
ton to that officials ruling that judges can
not draw their pay until they are confirmed

Scarcity of Cattle.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 19.-Dr. Sal.
mon, chief of the bureau of animal industry,
said there was an undoubted scarcity OF
cattle in the west, sufficient to account in
part for the increased price of dressed beef.
The only question: said he, lis VIII Their
this scarcity is sufficient to account for it
altogether or whether the few big men who
control the beef market have not to GER
tain extent anticipated the effect of this
scarcity; in other words, whether the effect
has not come before the cause What we
are anxious to know is whether the price of
cattle ha gone up in proportion to the
price of beef. Mexican cattle have been
looked upon with disfavor for the reason
that Texas fever is known to exist upon the
other side of the border, aud a quarantine
has been kept up during the summer. The
action OF packers raising the price of beef
resulted in the department raising the Mex
lcan embargo. The department has its
corps of inspectors, and all incoming cattle
Will be rigidly examined. Furthermore the
Mexican cattle seem to be in an unusually
good condition this year."

A Congregation Deluged.

-
FoRT WORTH, Tex, April 24.-All of Texas
has needed rain. so the great evangelist,
Dwight Moody. called upon his audience OF
5000 Christians to pray fervently taat the
f1oodgates might be opened. This was at
p. NJ. At night when the tabernacle was
crowded by 10000 people from Fort WORTH
and surrounding cities, Mr.. Moody an
nounced that word had come from several
points that rain had fallen. A few minutes
later the storm burst on Fort Worth and
torrents of rain fell.
Then Mr.. Moody gave thanks to God and
called upon the congr Cation to join in sing
ing Coronation" and ''All Hail the Power
of Jesus Name, Let Angels PROSTATE Fall.
The song had slrged forth from 10000
voices, when a cracking noise was heard
and then the roof sank and the rafters gave
way and the heavy tim bers and boards COW
cred with tar and gravel came down on
portion of the congregation. +
There was a panic. Scores upon scores or
women tainted, some men lost their heads
and piled pell-m over those near them.
Mr.. Moody, moving to the middle of the
platform, lifted both hands to heaven NOV
ing his arms slowly to and fro. HIS attitude
and GOODNESS stopped the panic and men
began to so to work to rescue those in dam
ger. A drenchng rain was falling. but they
worked hard and the wounded we're soon
taken out and carried to their homes or to
the houses near by. About forty persons
were slightly hurt.
