Two hundred and ninety-ope pris-

his Wedding announcement.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
When man gets married away from
home he naturally feels it necessary to
acquaint his folks with the joyful news
as soon as possible. John Liddel, the
handsome Englishman who led Miss Ma
rion Hellyer to the altar in Riverside last
Saturday before a large party of fash
ionables, was thoroughly impressed with
his duty in this respect, and so he hunted
up the nearest telegraph Office and set
about to compose the message telling of
his good fortune.
Some men would have gone into details
to the extent of naming the bride and
the time and the place, and soliciting the
paternal blessing But telegraph compa-
MES do not handle messages for nothing
no matter how felicitous they may be
in their character, and, as everybody
knows, every additional mile travelled by
the message makes 1t that much more
profitable to the grasping corporation.
Inasmuch as Mr. Liddells home Is in
Shanghai, China, he prudenty refrained
from committing the fault of verbosity
OF course, his people were expecting
something In confirmation of what had
been discussed in letters from time to
time, and he found it much easier on
that account to practice brevity and econ
omy without sacrificing the meaning of
his message. That is what he sent fash
ing over the wires, and under the ocean
on its long journey to Shanghai: 81
"Hurrahp'
At any other time the receipt of such
a telegram or cablegram by Mr. LiddelFs
people might have caused them some con-
Germ, but the happy groom was thorough
ly confident of being understood. He has
money to burn and would have cabled
a full account of the wedding without Gre
ating any financial distress to himself.
AS 1t was, there was nothing cheap in the
message.
1t cost 1910.

corn was easier, the nominal close, how
ever rejecting the strength OF the Iu-

Oats-LIberal receipts. the peaceful Eu-
ropean news of the early morning and the
action of wheat and corn all tended TO dis
courage buying of oats. Business was
moderately active and prices were easy
until shortly prior to the close, when,
like those of the leading grains they hard
ened. May oats closed a shade higher.
Cash oats were steady.
Provisions-The sentiment in product
this morning was not favorable to higher
prices. War news was recently a bull
factor in this market, and that, partially
removed, caused some selling. The hog
market was lower, and that fact, with
the early easy feeling in grain, was adj
verse to provision values. The May OPP
