A Couple Re- Married In This City
After Being Divorced Two Years
Are From Centralia.

Quite little romance is connected
with q wedding which took place o.

nesday night at O'Clock. At that tims
Rev. ]. W. Robbins, of the Christian
Church, married G. W. Spears tc
Mrs. Mary Jane Spears. This is the
second time this couple has tried mat.
rimonial bliss, and before they found
the bliss wanting. They were first
married in September, 's1, and two
years ago they mutually agreed to
disagree, securing a divorce in conse-
quence. Mrs. Spears was allowed the
custody of the two-year-oid boy who
had blessed their union. or late
Spears has been paying court at the
shrine of his divorced wife and they
decided to bury the hatchet. Accord
ingiy, the couple came down from
Centralia, their home, Wednesday
afternoon and were united in mar
riage, returning to Centralia on the
s:53 Accommodation.
at the time of their first marriage
Mr.. Spears was a wicower and Mrs.
Spears q widow. The children Of the
former seem to have caused the dis
agreement which separated them. But
they now think they are tied tight, so
tight that the knot cannot be broken,
no matter what takes q crack at it.
The groom is about 60 years of age
and the bride near 45.

Diphtherla.
The German medical periodical,
Therdpeutische Wochenschrift, records
the success of DIR. Hennig in the
treatment of diphtheria with simple
lime-water in contrast with the far
greater mortality which attends the
serum treatment of the same disease.
The Wochenschrlt says:
recommending on the statistics gath
cred by the government of the serum
treatment in diphtheria, showing a
mortality of 1873 per cent, Hennig
states that he has lost only 3.O6 per
cent during the last eighteen years,
SO out of 1927 cases. His method is
the prompt and continual use of pure
lime-water every fifteen minutes,
night and day, freely gargled and
some swallowed, made fresh each
time, with an ice bandage applied to
the throat outside. He uses for the
latter beef's esophagus, as lighter,
cheaper and better for other reasons
than rubber bag. 1t is filled with
ice and extends from ear to ear,
securely fastened at the ends to pre-
vent the escape of water. He insists
also on absolute cleanness, nourishing
food, with egg lemonade and vanilla
ice cream, and alternate doses of liq.

Pocketbook Politics.
From the Columbia (Mo.) Herald.

From the Columbia (Mo) Herald.
The use of money in political cam.
paigns is crying shame to our coun-
try. 1t has come to pass, in many
cases, that more money is expended in
canvasses for nomination and election
than the entire salary of the desired
Office. The result of such practice is
a constant temptation to dishonesty in
office. The legislator is tempted to
expect pay for supporting or opposing
a measure. The executive officer is
tempted to use his position as means
of private gain.
The evil has grown to such proper
tions as to threaten our safety as re-
public. That nation soon ceases to be
free where the elections can be turned
this way or that by the expenditure of
money. Then this is no longer re-
public where all men are free but there
is an autocracy of wealth. Money,
not man, rules.
One way to get rid OF pocketbook
politics is to punish the brlbe- giver
along with the bribe-taker. The can
didate for office who expends money
in corrupting votes, by direct or indi-
rect means, ought not only to be de-
feated at the polls but should be sent
to the penitentiary.

How to Make a Fortune


The following are extracts from q
letter written by Henry Ward Beecher
to his son:
You must not go into debt. Avoid
debt as you would the devil. Make it
a fundamental rule: No debt-dash or
nothing.
Make few promises; religiousiy OBJ
serve the smallest. A man who means
to keep his promises can't afford to
make many.
Be scrupulously careful in all state
ments. Accuracy and perfect frank-
ness, no guesswork. Either nothing
or accurate truth.
Make yourself necessary to those
who employ you by industry, fidelity
and scrupulously integrity. Selfish
ness ia fatal.
Hold yourself responsible for a
higher standard than anybody else
expects of you. Keep your own
standard high. Never excuse your
self to yourself. Never pity yourself.
Be a hard master to yourself, but
lenient to everybody else.
Concentrate your force on your own
business; do not turn off. Be con-
slant, steadfast, presevering.
Do not speculate or gamble; steady,
patient industry is both the surest and
the safest way. Greediness and haste
are two devils that destroy Thousands
every year.
The art of making ones fortune is
to spend nothing. In this country
any intelligent young man may be-
come rich if he stops all leaks and is
not in hurry. Do not make haste;
be patient.
