The ordinance giving the butchers
the exclusive right to sell all kinds of

sage and was lost by u unanimous

As to the balance of Trade. I"

The continued increase in exports
during November forces the total for
the eleven months up to 1856, $50, 900,
a gain of $3.50, 900, 900, or over 20 per
cent. of the total for the correspond
ing eleven months of 1895.
The excess of exports-over imports
for the eleven months amounts to
$266, ,0s6, 200, and as that sum is more
than third of all the imports, free
and dutiable, for the eleven months,
the campaign fund contributors who
insist on more tariff tinkering are
forcing very serious question on the
Republican party.
According to all Republican author.
tiles, the test of tariff is the "favor.
able balance of trade" under it. And
where is the Republican rash enough
to say that he can make tariff which
can be permanently relied upon tc
improve this showing?

HAPPY HEARTS.
Miss Helen Louise Lowell Married to

From the Flint tMich.I Daily Journal.
Last evening, at six O'Clock, at the
Congregational Church, Miss Helen
Louise, daughter of Judge and Mrs.
Fl. R. Lowell, OF this city, was united
in marriage to Mr.. John Wilson Mil
lion, vice president of Hardin Col
lege, of Mexico, Missouri. Probably
no wedding ever took place in this
city under more favorable auspices.
The church was handsomely and ap-
propriately decorated with holly and
evergreens and on the faces of the
goodiy company appeared to be re-
fieeted the inward joy they felt at be-
ing present on such an occasion, to
which the nearness of Christmas must
have added an additional charm.
The bride looked beautiful in orange
blossoms, bridal veil, and a superb
gown of white brocaded silk trimmed
with pearls. She carried roses. The
maid of honor was Miss Almira
Lowell, the BRIDES sister. The brides
maids were Miss Lucy Seeley, Miss
Laura Seeley, of Cairo, and Miss Ollie
Million, of Mexico, Missouri, the lat
ter lady being a sister Of the BRIDE
groom. The bridesmaids were gowned
in white organdie over yellow silk
and carried yellow roses. The BRIDE
groom's best man was DIR. A. P. Win
ston, of Chicago. The ushers were
Messrs. III. Ell. Lowell, B. ]. Mcdonald,
George Freeman and George o.
Crane.
Miss Mamie Little presided at the
organ with excellent effect.
Rev. W. L. Farnum was the officiat-
ing clergyman. The ring ceremony
was used. The BRIDES father gave
her away.
After the ceremony a few of the
most intimate friends and relatives OF
the principals in the delightful affair
proceeded to the residence of the
BRIDES parents on Clifford street,
refreshments were served and social
time enjoyed by all. The house was
decorated with holly palms, smilaz
and carnations and red ribbons. The
Mandolin Club furnished music.
This morning Mr.. and Mrs. Million
left for Chicago, where they will
spend a week, after which they will
go to Mexico, Missouri, where Mr.,
Million will resume his duties as vice
president of Hardin College. Mrs
Million will teach Greek in the same
institution. Mrs. Million has com.
pleted her studies in the Chicago
University, and her friends here will
doubtless learn with satisfaction that
next April she will receive from that
institution the degree of doctor Of
philosophy. Many good wishes &C
with, her and her husband to theil
home in Missouri.
