Happy June Marriages.
Sunday was a good day for wedd

Sunday was good day for weddings
or anything else that's nice, for that
matter-and Hot Springs had two. At
II o'clock, noon, Sunday, at the Epis-
copal church, Rev. w. H. Pond spoke
the words that united Mr.. j. HI. March
and Miss Alta Estella Williams in the
holy bonds of matrimony. The cere-
mony was performed Immediately after
the morning services, in the presence
OF th7 congregation. Mr March is we'll
known in this community having been
resident of Cold Brook for several
years, where he is now one of the pro.
prietors of the general store, kept by
March Il Co., and is respected, enter
prising young man. Miss Williams
for some time had charge of the CEN
trail telephone station, and in that
trying position gave general satisfac-
tion to the public. She is an estimable
young lady. They have gone to house.
keeping in the w. T. March residence
in Cold Brook. The STAR extends con-
gratulations to the happy youngpeople.
At 8 o'clock Sunday evening there
occurred another wedding when Mr.. Har
ry Gayhart and Miss Minnie Beer we're
married at the Davis House, where ths
young people have been boarding for u

the ceremony in the presence of few
friends. Mr.. Gayhart is the popular
young jeweler of the city and has been
resident here for several years. Miss
Beer has had the management of the
Western Union telegraph office for the

something about the married woman be.

The above is a fac simile of little

printed for the tent people Wednes-
day. Imagine our surprise, to have
Father Ahern, for whom we have had
so much respect, call at the Office very
much incensed and aroused because
this office did the printing. Perhaps
we owe an apology to Father Ahern
for printing anythingof the kind, even
though we are here for the purpose of
doing all the printing we can get-pro-
viding it is not contrary to public de-
cency, good morals and good govern
ment. We reproduce the wording of
the dodger so that the public may
judge whether or not in doing the work
for consideration we are deserving of
public or private rebuke-if so we want
to square ourselves as quickly as pos
sible. We are not just now arguing
the question as to whether the time is
at hand when such questions can no
longer be discussed;wheth freedom of
speech and freedom of press are to be
muzzled and must have censor, and
the mayor called upon to suppress
such "nuisances,' but are merely sub
mitting the proposition of running a
general job printing Office and for pay

dodger announcing a subject to be dis
cussed at public meeting.
Perhaps we don't know what we're
here for!

The Club Concert.

The High School Symphony club of
Sioux Falls, supported by Mrs. Fred
eric H. Snyder and A. Lynn Parmley
of Sioux Falls and Miss Edna Carter of
Pierre, gave a concert in the opera
houselast Thursday toa representative
audience, which, though not as large as
the program deserved, was appreccia-
tive and at times enthusiastic.
The program began with number
by the Symphony club, which is di-
rected by Miss Margaret r. Smith,
musical director of the Sioux Falls
high school. The club is typical
company of high school pupils, intense
ly interested in novelty and putting
life into whatever they do. Spirit
characterized their work of the even
ing and they played "Under the Double
Eagle' with plenty of ''go,' as they did
the number in response to hearty en-
core. They did themselves and their
instructor credit and are an honor to
Sioux Falls.
Nicolia's ''Adieu" was the next-a
duet by Mrs. Snyder and Mr.. Parmley.
1t was thrillingly and impressively
given, leaving the audience in the very
ecstasy of delight. Recalled three
times they sang it through again.
Miss Edna Carter sang in very
charming manner. "Bobolink.n by Bis
choff. She has sweet, soprano voice
which is we'll cultured and pleasing in
every sense. Her reponse wes equally
as we'll received as the program num-
Der, her dainty way winning her many
friends among her hearers. She was
the accompanist of the other vocalists,
as was Miss Myrtle Arneson for the
Symphony club.
Mr.. .'armley then sang sHe Was a
Prince" He has a pure tenor voice,
sweet and resonant. Though it has
evidently not as yet reached its full
power, it shows a strength which, with
its purity, is a promise of something
approaching the marvellous in the fu.
ture. He was enthusiastically greeted
and responded with another pleasing
song.
A "Chinese Picnic" was the next
number on the program, a catchy thing
by the Symphony club, which was
heartily encored.
A selection from Verdi's "Ernani,' y
Ernani in Volame," was Mrs. Snyder's
solo number. No one since the divine
Sara in Hugo's version, has SO inter.
ested us in the legend of the loves and
tragic fate of Dona Sol, Hernandi and
Don Ruy Gomez. Mrs. Snyder is su-
perb. The fiery passion of Dona Sol
and Hermann, Verdi has put into music
and Mrs. Snyder interpreted it, ex.
periencing with her audience the
ecstatic thrill such music effects. Her
voice, q rich soprano, shows the italian
method in k1s plume and resonance
She graciously responded to the en-.
thusiastic applause.
A trio followed, consisting Of Mrs.
Snyder, Miss Carter and Mr.. Parmley,
which sang sQuands fla cenere," by
Campani. This, with the encore, was
among the good things Of the program
The Same entertainers gave another
concert Saturday night, with IN entire
heartily received and encored.

Mrs. Annie Besant delivered one OF her
most interesting lectures at Native Sons
Hall yesterday afternoon. Though Fer
subject was the metaphysical treatment
of theosophy under the title OF ''Karma,
the speaker talked vigorously against the
dominant spirit of money in American
life. She held that the invisible law OF
Karma is made by thought, desire, and
the effects of conduct on others.
Coming to the practical phases OF the
subject Mrs. Besant said: "The thoughts
in this life make the tendencies OF our
lives on our temperance here. Ii We
are OF good dispositions here aud If We
cultivate noble impulses now it will be
easier to do good when we reappear.
THE vice of National life in this coun-
try to-day is money making, to the ex-
cIusion of all else. The money making
faculty is one of the lowest and conf
monest of all, and if we go on with money
as the ideal the future race will be low
and vulgar.
1T is frightful condition when wealth
alone brings respect. The real duty of
people is plain living and noble thinking.
Our ideals ought to be thoughtful rather
than material. 1t would be grand con-
dition if these things were brought about
in their fuIIness."

THE TELEPHONE CASE.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
favor OF the Bell Telephone pany i'll
the Berliner patent case, while sound
In law and founded on plain principles OF
Justice, is nevertheless. objections able mas
much as it not only continues a monopoly
which is adverse to public interests, but
offers large inducements for frauds in the
Patent Office and tends to encourage the
commission of them.
The Berliner invention, which covers an
important part of the commercial tele-
phone, was originally filed in the Patent
Office in 1877, after which it passed into
the possession of the Bell Company. For
some reason the patent was not issued
until 1891. A claim was made by rival
company that this patent should run from
the time the application was originally
made and no. from the date when the
patent was issued. The Bell Company,
however, claimed right TO the monopoly
for the full term allowed by law from the
date of the issuing of the patent.
The Supreme Court in deciding the case
declared there was no evidence of any
corruption or undue influence used by
Patent Office officials or employees to delay
COQSlQeTallOn OF tue DeTllueT dppllCdLIoH,
second, that there was no testimony to
show that the delay complained of was at
the instance of the telephone company,
and third, that since what delay did occur
was caused by the Patent Office and the
officers of the telephone company were in
no wise responsible the patentee could
not be made to suffer in any of his rights
by reason of the delay.
The decision seems just inasmuch as
an inventor ought not to be made lose
anything by the delay of Government
officials, but at the same time it will be
seen that if patents OF great Importance
can be held for wears, thus securing a
monopoly for nearly double the period
which Congress intended to allow, there
will be considerable pressure brought on
Patent Office officials hereafter to make
these same delays in other important
cases. This is a danger Congress. should
provide against at once and there ought
to be no great difficulty in doing it.

THE MARCH OF GOMEZ.

The news from Cuba continues favor
able to the saugune hope that this year
Will see the close OF the long war and the
establishment of the independence of the
island. The march of Gomez toward Ha-
vana has been almost unchecked, and
within a comparatively short time he may
be virtually in control of all parts of the
island, except the few cities and fortresses
where the Spaniards have collected their
troops. This would completely expose the
falseness OF Weyler's claim to have paci-
fed several provinces, and would go far
to convince the Government at Madrid
Of the folly of con tinuing the struggle.
The march OF Gomez, in fact, has po-
litical as well as a military significance,
and at the present iuncture of affairs the
political meaning is the more important
of the two. 1t matters very little just
now whether the Cubans can take Havana
or not, but it matters great deal whe
they can muster an army strong enough
to march up and down the western
provinces and compel the Spaniards to
retire from the field to the protection OF
breastworks. By display of strength they
may make it certain they are not ready
to yield, and the Spaniards cannot force
them to do so without much larger army
than Spain has at present in the island.
This being demonstrated, the Government
at Madrid will be more inclined to make
peace than it would have been had the
march not been made.
Tine situation which confronts Spain is
a bankrupt treasury at home, demor-
allied army shut up in gerrisons, a hos
tile public opinion throughout the civ
ilized world and foe resolute. confident
and aggressive. Neither her generals nor
her statesmen can hope for a speedy end
ing of the war by a victory over the
patriots They must either be prepared TO
spend millions of money for an indefinite
continuance of hostIllties or they must ar
range to make terms for abandoning the
island. The march of Gomez will help
them to make up their minds on that
point, and therefore as piece of political
strategy it is likely to accomplish much.
even il it has no great successes from
military point of view.

A PURE-FOOD FAIR.

1t is announced that the next exhibit OF
the Mechanics Institute, which is to be
held from August II to September Is. will
be largely devoted to exhibits OF pure
food. This will be gratifying to the gen.
eral public for at the present time much
interest is taken in the subject of food
products, and there can be no question
that great bene fits will be derived both for
consumers and producers of standard arti-
cles by such an exhibition.
There is no State in the Union which
can make better exhibition of pure.food
articles than California. Certainly none
has equal resources in the way of raw ma
terial for making such exhibits Our State
produces almost everything, from the
necessdries to the luxuries of life, and we
have sufficient skill and capital to work
them up in the most finished forms. II
We have not done so in the past 1t has
been largely due to the sale OF adulterated
goods, with which the manufacturers of
pure foods could not compete. The sale
of these base articles has been due mainly
to the fact that consumers were ignorant
therefore, we can make known what
brands of food are pure, there will be
better demand for them and larger in
ducements for their manufacture.
The proposed exhibit will materially aid
in making these good brands known to
the people. 1t is certain they will attract
large attention from the public, inasmuch
as popular interesG has been aroused on
the subject and will increase rather than
diminish from now until the exhibition is
held. The decision of the Mechanics In
sttu.e therefore to devote a large space at
the next fair to such an exposition is
commendabIe one, and good results may
be expected from it.

The reports presented at the Grand Parlor
meeting contain some matter of which the
following will be read with interest:
Fifty-eight members were called to the
Grand Parlor on high during the year 1896.
Among those deceased are number who have
sat with US in the years gone by in the de-
Ii berations of the Grand ,Parlor, the best

whose towering form was familiar sight to
the de legates of the Grand Parlors at San Jose
