A HAPPY WEDDING.

At 7:30 o'clock p. m. on the 18th
day of this month, Miss Olive M.
Gerall and Mr.. w. J. Myer were
united in marriage. The ceremony
took place in the little parlor at the
home of the BRIDES parents, Rev. Penn
of Humboldt officiating. March from
Lohengrin was played by Miss Mag
gle Johnson.
While we are much grieVed on &C.
count of the loss of the late bride from
our midst, we feel glad that Mr.. Myer
is the happy recipient of such noble
companion. Mrs. Myer has lived in
this county about eleven years and
most of that time has been spent in
teaching in our public schools. Not
alone in the home circle will she be
missed, but in the social society,
church halls and the child's world
too, there will be a vacancy. She
possesses those attributes of character
that win the friendship and respect
OF all with WhOm she comes In con-
tact.
Mr.. Myer taught school for short
time in this county, but is now
prominent teacher of Cloud county.
He has been very successful in his
work and has gained the confidence
of all who know him. He is gentle
man in every way worthy the lady
whose heart he has won.
Immediately after the ceremony,
the bride and groom together with
their many friends were seated at the
table and refreshments were served.
In short the whole affair was simple
but artistic, and afforded q beautiful
picture for the word painter.
A GUEST.

TALKED TOO MUCH,

LABOR Commissioner Bird, who
has been flying high ever since he
got his appointment, has had his
wings clipped and is now fiuttering
very close to the ground. The i'm
mediate occasion of the clipping was
a letter which he wrote recently
intimating that he carried the Trades
Assembly vote of Kansas City in his
vest pocket. Just to show him that
he didn't, the Assembly got together
last Sunday, repudiated and denounc-
ed him as an enemy of labor, and ex-
PEELED him from the organization. 1t
was a clear case of too much talk.

When people who have not been in
lola for number of years come back
the first change that attracts their
attention is the growth of the trees in
the park. And by-the-way what has
become of Con. Mull's scheme to have

trees? Can't the city council squeeze
out a few dollars somewhere for that
purpose this spring?

A MATTER OF FACT.

THE chief argument advanced in
favor of the free coinage of silver is
that it would advance the wages of
labor and the prices offarm products.
And yet it is a fact that labor is bet
ter paid and the prices of farm pro-
ducts are higher in the gold basis
than in the silver basis countries.

ARGoNIA, KAN, April 18th. 1896
Hon. Chas. F. Scott, lola, Kan,
Sir
1 notice local item in your paper this
week concerning the Mckinley corn train
that is to run from Wichita to ST. Louis dur
ing the convention to be held there. This
is rather q novel idea of Mr.. Dixon, Of this
place, to boom his fsvorite IN the presiden-
tial contest He desires 40 counties in the
State TO be represented, and has already Sc
cured one-haf of that number. The poll.
tics part OF it is good idea, but the paying
part of il for Kansas people viii be the ad-
verusement that can be secured from it. Mr.
Dixon says that he wishes every county
that goes into it would prepare ali the ad-
vertiSing matter possible to be distributed
to the people from all over the country who
viii be crowded into St Louis. Then again
certainly If Mckinley should get the nomi-
nation, the train will be run through to
New York over one of the lines out Of Saint
Louis that would be most advantageous to
advertise the State.
l was afraid your county might drop this
matter with the local in your paper, and so
have ventured TO say this much about it
in the hope that your real estate and other
business men might be induced to consider
seriously the proposition Of giving Allen
county the benefit of this great advertising
scheme. The more advertising this State
gets now, the sooner prosperity viii dawn.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY
BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

THE death of Ex-Governor Foreman
of West Virginia last Sunday recalls
the fact that he is the only man ever
elected to the office of Governor of one
of the States of the Union by unan-
imous vote. He was the Uucondi-
tienal Union candidate in June 1868,
and received every one of the 25, 797
votes cast.

Isaac WEIGH was a good citizen. In
his quiet way, without auy ostenta-
tion or self-prsise, he did hisfuIl duty
to his country, his State, his town.
He was honest. He told the truth
He was diligent in business. He was
a good Christian, for many years a
member of the Wesleyan Methodist
church. He was devoted to his family
and faithful to his friends. The SIM
pie facts concerning his daily life, as
we all 80 well knew it, make eulogy
superf1uous.
Mr.. WEIGH was married in 1866 to
Miss Alma Campbell, of Versailles,
Mo-, and she and their four children
survive him. He was a member of the
A. o. U. w. and Knights and Ladies
Of Security,-in each which orders he
held life insurance policy of $780,

THE TRUE CoNCLUsIoN.-One of our
city exchanges has a cartoon repre-
senting conductor of street railway
collecting fare, when he is asked by a
passenger if there were many free sill
yer men among the conductors and
gripmen, and the reply is given: " No,
very few. With free silver, bread and
meat will be doubled in price, and as
the city ordinances will not allow a
higher fare than five cents, how is the
company to advance our wages to cor
respond?" The idea, of course, origi-
mated in the mind OF the gold bug car
toonist, and stops just short of logic,
al conclusion. One step further
would have established the true con-
clusion that, as the value of every COM
modify is increased and the price of
labor is advanced in other cccupa-
tons, it is quite probable that many
people will have nickel to put up for
car fare who now walk? Is it not
barely possible that even if the bust
ness of many roads is not double they
will be able to re-establsh the old SAL
aries from the dividends which ordi-
nary prosperity enables corporations.

turn out multi-millionaires all over

CFOp Prospects,

An extended trip through the
country recalls the fact that there
will be some diversity in the coming
harvest.
Hay is fully up to the average and
in many localities it will prove an
extra heavy crop.
remember when there has been a
more favorable season for cutting, cur
ing and hauling in their hay than the
present one. Everything has been
propitious to this end.
Apples, pears and prunes through
out the upper Sound districts have
not recovered from the setback they
received during the cold, rainy spell
in blossOming time, and hence all
these will fall short OF the average
yield. Potatoes on bottom lands are
in splendid condition, while those
planted on the uplands stand in need
of rain to bring them forward to q
fair average.
Similar conditions apply to the sew.
eral kinds OF grain.
A good many fields of oats will be
cut for hay; so there will be no very
great loss where this policy is pur-
sued. Garden products will bring a
fair return to the ranchmen for the
labor bestowed.
All in all, neither producers nor
consumers should complain at the
present outlook.

The Ratification.

Those having in charge the arrange
ments for the Bryan ratification have
changed the date from August 1T to
an earlier date, in all probability Tues
day, July 18th. The reason for this
change Is TO conform to State plan
OF ratification, arranged by a commit
tee oil Tree sllverites from all parties, in
Tacoma, during the week. The plan
mas been recommended by the Demo
cratic State Central Committee. II is
proposed to begin Saturday night in
Seattle, if the st. Louis Populist Con-
vention concludes its deliberations by
that time, and ratify with plenty OF
fireworks, enthusiasm and monster
demonstration. A large number of
the best speakers in the State will en-
terrain the ratitiers, consisting OF Col.
James Hamilton Lewis, Geo. Turner
and Patrick Henry Winston, with
others OF equal renown.
On Monday night the speakers will
separate, one-half going north and the
others sOuth. The former will assist
in a ratification at Everett, and the
latter will do likewise in Tacoma.
On Tuesday night those going north
will ratiiy at Port Townsend, and
those coming south at Olympia, and
so on until the Columbia river on the
one hand and the British line on the
other has been reached. Eastern
Washington will be besieged in the
same way with Spokane as a starting
point. This is thought to be the most
effective way to arouse the people OF
the State to the responsibilities of the
hour.
The Bryanites OF this county have,
therefore, concluded to follow the plan
mapped out by the State organization.
BY thus cooperating they will be as
sured OF having number OF good
speakers, including Col. James Ham
ilton Lewis and Geo. Turner, whereas
if they waited until Saturday they
would have difficulty in securing the
speakers desired. Hence it may be
expected that the supporters of Bryan
will ratify on Tuesday night, at place
in Olympia to be decided upon later
Music and fireworks will be features
and q parade is contemplated. The
only thing that will cause the ratifca-
ton to be held on different date will
be the failure of the St Louis conven-
ton to reach a conclusion before Sat
urday night. Full announcement will
be made later by posters. The local
committee will invite all from the sur
rounding country to attend.

WASHINGTON WEATHER.
Review for the Month OF June
Reported by the weather Bureau.


The first ten days of the month
were unusually cool and rainy; the
last ten days unusually warm and dry
as whole, the month was slightly
above the average in temperature, and
its precipitation was slightly below the
normal amount for June.
From the night OF the ID until the
night of the 9th there were very
frequent showers extending through.
out the State; from this time on I'M
til the 2Sth, when light thunderstorms
occurred quite generally, there was an
unbroken dry spell, excepting scattered
showers along the coast only. on the
18th, nth, and 18th. Moderate
weather prevailed until the 24th, when
there followed an unusually hot spell
lasting four days, the 25th, 10Th, 9th,
and 2Sth. The 10Th gave some of the
highest recorded temperatures to West
ern Washington, among which we
note the following maxima: Sno-
homish 81. Seattle SO, Tacoma 95,
Olympia 80, Union City 81, Grand
Mound 81, Chehalis l0l. 1t is pos
sible that the therm pmeters are hardly
shaded enough at the latter place.
The others compare reasonably with
the record at the central station, and
are without doubt accurate.
In Eastern Washington, also, the
Goth was very hot day, but the
hottest day was the 2Sth, when
temperatures of 100 degrees and above
occurred at several stations, viz Fort
Spokane 100, Fort Simcoe 1O3, Moxie
LOG, Sunnyside 104, Waterville 10l,
Walla Walla 1OJ.
In June last year, there was also a
hot spell occurring on almost precise.
ly the same dates, but such high
temperatures were not reached; 1913
being then the hottest for the State, and
80 the maximum for Seattle on the
9th.
No satisfactory progress was made
by the crops this year until the 10Th,
there being no good growing weather
before that time; after that they grew
rapidly.
SUMMARY OF TEMPERATURE AND PRE-
CIPITATION.
Monthly mean temperature, West
ern Section, 57.2; monthly mean temp
erature, Eastern Section, 627; month
