EARLY FORMING WEDDING.
The Presbyterian Church the scene
of Pleasant Affair.

Miss Frances Frisbie Shepard,
youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. H. Shepard, and Mr.. Arthur Hope
Jones, of ST. Joseph, Mo-, were united
in marriage by Rev. Lee W. Beattie
at the First Presbyterian church at 6
O'Clock Wednesday. Three hundred
and fifty invitations had been issued,
and large number were present,
despite the early hour and threaten
ing weather. The church was beauti-
fully decorated with flowers and
green's.
When the wedding march struck
up, the four ushers, B. f. Pay, E. G..
HOerr, r. II. Rose and FriSbie Pope,
advanced, followed by Mrs. Gere, of
Sioux City, sister of the bride. The
bride then advanced, leaning on her
fathers arm, and was met by the
groom, accompanied by his best man,
H. w. Jackson, of Chicago. The bride
was dressed in becoming going
away gown, and looked very attractive.
There were no brides maids. A
semi-cirrle was formed in front of the
altar, and the marriage ceremony was
performed.
The bridal party and large num-
Der of the guests went to the Omaha
depot Immediately after the cere-
mOny, where the bride and groom
were literally sprinkled with rice.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones took the 6:35 a. m.
train to St. Paul, accompanied by the
affectionate adieus and well wishes of
the entire party. They will soon
proceed to st. Joseph, by way Of Chi
cago, and will be at home after Oct.
l. They will board for time.
The bride was born and grew to
womanhood in Mankato, but for some
years has been employed in the office
of the linseed oil mill at Sioux City,
by her brother-in-law, Mr.. Gere. She
has numerous friends who admire her
many estimable qualities. Mr. Jones
is commercial broker at St. Joseph,
and several Of our citizens have met
him, and these have formed a good
opinion of him. He is well spoken of
by those more intimately acquainted
with him. The numerous friends Of
both will wish them a long and happy
life

REGARDING RECIPROCITY.
Believes the Law in Force in '92 Should
Be Re-enacted.


Another declaration of the Republican
platform that has my most cordial sup
port is that which favors reciprocity. The
splendid results of the reciprocity arrange
ments that were made under authority of
the tariff act of 1890 are striking and sug-
gestive. The brief period they were in
force, in most cases only three years, was
not long enough to thoroughly test their
great value, but sufficient was shown by
the trial to conclusively demonstrate the
importance and the wisdom of their adOp-
ton. In 1892 the export trade of the
United States attained the highest point
in our history. The aggregate of our ex-
ports that year reached the immense sum
OF $l,03O,27S, l48, a sum greater by $780,
100000 than the exports of any previous
year. In 1895, owing to the threat of I'M
friendly tariff legislation, the total dropped
to SS47, 665, 1914. In my Judgment, congress
should Immediately restore the reciprocity
section of the old law, with such amend
ments, if any, as time and experience sane
ton as wise and proper. The underlying
principle of this legislation must, how
ever, be strictly observed 1t is to afford
new markets for our surplus agricultural
and manufactured products without loss
to the American laborer of single day s
work that he might otherwise procure.

HALSTEAD-BECkWITH,

Miss Carrie Halstead and MI.
Charles Beckwith were married at
eight o'clock Tuesday at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, Rev. Mr..
Hair officiating. After the ceremony,
the guests, who consisted only of the
relatives, sat down to fine supper.
They will make their home on Lee
Sueur street.
The bride is the eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank A. Halstead and
has many estimable qualities. Mr..
Beckwith is the city's chief carpenter,
and is an excellent young man. Both
have numerous friends, who will re-
joice in their happiness.

per capita Of money has been practically
the same during this whole period. The
quality of the money has been Identical
all kept equal to gold. There is nothing
connected with our money, therefore, to
account for this sudden and aggravated
industrial change. Whatever is to be
deprecated in our financial system, it
must everywhere be admitted that our
money has been absolutely good and has
brought neither loss nor inconvenience to
its holders. A deprecated currency has
not existed to further veX the troubled
business situation.
Good Money Never Made Hard Times.
1t is mere pretence to attribute the
hard times to the fact that all our cur
rency is on a gold basis. Good money
never made times hard. Those who assert
that our present industrial and financial
depression is the result of the gold stand
ard have not read American history
Alright or been careful students of the
events of recent years. We never had
greater prosperity in this country in every
field of employment and industry than IN
the busy years from 1880 to 1892, during all
of which time this~AuptrI was ca O. g0i
basis and employed more gold money in
its fiscal and business operations than ever
before. We had too a protective tariff
under which ample revenues were col
lected for the government, and an ac-
cumulating surplus which was constantly
applied to the
Payment of the Public Debt.
Let us hold fast to that which we know is
good. 1t is not more money we want;
what we want is to put the money we
already have at work. When money is
employed, men are employed. Both have
always been steadily and remuneratively
engaged during all the years of protective
tariff legislation. When those who have
money lack confidence in the stability Of
values and investments, they will not
part with their money. Business is stag,
nated-the life-blood of trade is checked
and cOngestel. We cannot restore public
confidence by an act which would revolu-
tionize all values, or an act which entails
deficiency in the public revenues. We
cannot inspire confidence by advocating
reputation or practicing dishonesty. We
cannot restore confidence, either to the
treasury or to the people withouta change
in our present tariff legislation.

NO NORTH, no SOUTH.
Congratulates the Country on the Obliter-
alton of Sectional Lines.

alton of Sectional Lines.
The country is to be congratulated upon
the total obliteration of the sectional lines
which for many years marked the division
of the United States into slave and free
territory, and finally threatened its parti.
ton into two separate governments by the
dread ordeal of civil war. The era OF rec
onciliation, so long and earnestly desired
by General Grant and many other great
leaders, North and South, has happily
come, and the feeling of distrust and hos
tility between the sections is everywhere
vanishing, let us hope, never to return
Nothing is better calculated to give
strength to the nation at home, increase
our power and influence abroad, and to
add to the permanency and security of our
free institutions, than the restoration of
cordial relations between the people of all
sections and parts of our beloved country
If called by the suffrages of the people to
assume the duties of the high office of
president of the United States, l shall
count it privilege to aid, even in the
slightest degree, in the promotion of the
spirit of fraternal regard, which should
animate and govern the citizens of every
section, state or part of the republic.
terance, let us at length and forever here
after, heed the admonition of Washington:
'There should be no North, no South, no
East, no West-but a common country.
1t shall be my constant aim to improve
every opportunity to advance the cause OF
good government by promoting that spirit
of forbearance and justice which is so es-
sential to our prosperity and happiness,
by joining most heartily in all proper eff
forts to restore the relations of brotherly
respect and affection which in our early
history characterized all the people of all
the states The war is long since over;
1--WE are not enemies, but friends, and as
friends we will faithfully and officially CO.
operate until the approving smile of Him
who has thus far so signally sustained and
guided us to preserve inviolate our coun-
try's name and honor, its peace and good
order and it's continued ascendancy among
the greatest governments on earth.

MckiNLEY'S BIG MAJORITY.

A note from Roy Hudson, who went
to Minneapolis Monday to spend the
week, states that a straw vote was
taken on the 80 a. M. Omaha train,
resulting in Mckinley receiving 259
votes to 81 for Bryan. A vote was
also taken on the G. A. r. special on
the Minneapolis & St. Louis road, and
resulted in Mckinley receiving 154
votes to 26 for Bryan. Evidently, the
common people prefer to have the
mills of America opened to American
labor instead of the minis of America
to the cheap silver of the world.
Geo. Mcdonald, charged with dis
orderly conduct, pleaded guilty in the
municipal court Monday, and in
default of fine of $3.50 went to Jail
for twenty days.

He Was conscientious.

There was an anxious, doubtful look
on the young fellows face, as he paced
up and down the aisle in a Broadway
cable car the other evening. There
were half a dozen seats, yet the young

dnued his restless pacing to and fro.

the conductor, brusquely.
The young man continued his patrol.
A benevolent old gentleman pulled
him by the coat and said: Here's a
seat, sir" The young man shook his
head.
A newcomer entered the car and, be-
ing an altogether officious person,
pointed to the vacant seats. The young
man still walked.

Making it Plain.

The young woman from Boston was
at the table in a railroad restaurant In
the far West, and, when she essaye1
to cut the steak with which she had
been served, she discovered that what
she needed was higher education in
athletics. After four or five Intellectual
attempts to dissect 1t, she called to the
waiter.
"Cahn't you," she asked, give me a
bit of steak which Is characterized by
lees tenacity of tissue?"
The waiter looked staggered and a
cowboy across the table looked up.
II didn't quite ketch, num-" said the
waiter bending forward with his hand
to his ear.
II said"-and there was a shade of
annoyance In her tone-"that desired
portion OF steak in which the coher-
ence Of the molecules was not so ap-
parent"
"Oh," stammered the waiter, and he
stood fixed with his mouth open in
amaZement
The young woman became embar-
rassed.
Here" snorted the gallant cowboy,
coming to the rescue, with sounding
whack on the table, "gtt move on
you; what the lady wants is piece of
meat that amt so tough she can't stick
her purity tooth into It. See?" and the
young woman actually smiled as the
waiter hurried away.-Detrolt FREQ
