PITZER- HENSEL.

Mr.. Charles G. Pitzer and Miss
Bette Hensel we're married at st.
Johns Lutheran Church, on Tues
day evening, at I O'Clock.
This simple announcement, unac-
companied by any description of the
event, would correspond with the
beautiful simplicity of the event !;
but so out of the ordinary was this
wedding, SO free from any new feat
ures that necessitate long rehearsals,
much preparation and tiresome wait
ing, that it evokes longer comment.
The church altar was bank Of
green flowers, above which, with i'm
pressive purport, were the letters
al" and p" in pink, The popu
larity of both the parties drew a
large audience, anxious to see two
good friends and companions launch
so favorably into double bliss.
The bridal party entered the
church shortly after seven, to the
strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
march, the ushers, Messrs. Parvin
E. Deatrick, Percy W. Letter, Ar
lington Rousch and Harry Ham
mann, going up the right aisle, and
preceding bride and groom up the
left aisle, dressed in pure white,
came the pretty little flower girls,
Miss Susie Hensel, sister of the
bride, and Miss Ethel Pitcher, niece
of the groom, carrying baskets of
flowers. At the altar, with hands
clasped, the "twain were made one"
by Rev. Trump, and when the nup.
tial blessing was given the entire
party left the church by the right
aisle.
The bride wore dress Of white
organde, and carried La France
roses. Mrs. Pitzer is the accomplish
ed and lovely daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo L. Hensel. Mr.. Pitzer is
a popular young man with many
friends, and we, along with
many others, wish them abundant
success and many years of happi-
ness. The presents were costly and
numerous. A fter the ceremony a
reception was given at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. John W.
Pitzer, parents of the groom, to the
ushers, the pastor and his wife aud
the members Of the two families.
Mrs. Mary Grove presided at the
organ.

'China's Postal Service.

The mails in China are different
from the postal arrangements of any
other country in the world. In China
the NEIL service is not only not i'll the
hands Of the government, but it IS
left to private persons to establish
postal connection, how and whenever
they please. Anybody may open a
store and hang out sign, advertising
that he is ready to accept letters to be
forwarded to certain places or coun-
tries. The result Of this arrange
ment is that in populous towns there
are great number of persons accept
ing letters to be forwarded to all parts
of the country; at Shanghai, for in
stance, there are not less than $500
stores competing, with each other and
carrying on war to the knife as far
as rates are concerned. This system.
although having great faults, has
some good qualities. There are sew
eral parties accepting letters to one
certain town. The Chinese merchant
who writes letters two or three times
will patronize several of the concerns
and ask his correspondent to inform
him which he got the quickest. Hov.
ing experimental for a while he will
select the firm giving the best SER
vice. but he always has the choice OF
several mailing services for his cor
respondence.

The Boom In Wheat

The San Francisco Post has the fol
lowing regarding the advance in the
price of wheat last week:
The week just ended has gladden.
ed the hearts of farmers more than
any one week in two years. 1t has
increased the value of California
wheat in the neighborhood of $4,000.
600 which relieves the strain ON many
banks throughout the State. Not
alone has the benefit been to wheat,
but farm lands are more valuable
There is no end to the good the adj
vance in grain products has done.
The boom is not soap bubble, but
one Of genuine merit.
Conditions warrant the advance, if
it were twice rs much. There is every
reason to believe old time prices for
wheat not far off. Natural conditions
must prevail. These conditions have
been buried for two or three years.
The laws of supply and demand are
once more exerting their influence
and no power is strong enough to
withstand the force of their claim
The Pacific Coast has found Il good
market for it's surplus wheat in Aus.
tralia and South Africa. This demand
will surely last a year or more.
The China-Japan trade is yearly in
crcasing at a rapid rate. The time
may not be far distant when the sur
plus wheat of this Coast may be want
ed by these two countries. 1t is quite
certain farmers may Look for good
prices for The next year at least.
Weather conditions could not be
more favorable for good crop. When
the farmer is prosperous every other
line OF commerce is also.
The trading on the Call Board to.
day was very heavy. May wheat sold
at Sl.l759 as against S1.091s one week
ago. Outside orders are beginning to
have their influence. The business Is
not left to the talent, as has been the
custom for a great length of time.
Higher prices are looked for next
week.
