Married.

CLARKSoN--SMITH.- Tho marriage
Of MIR. George Clarkson, of Bismarck,
Mo-, and Miss Latte Smith, OF Potosi,
was the occasion of large number OF
the friends of the contracting parties,
assembling themselves together at the
M. +. Church, South, in Potosi, at
6:45 p. NJ. on Wednesday, April IA,
1897, at which time their wedding
took place The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. j. r. Eddleman, pas
tor of the Methodist church.
The church was very prettily deco
rated with flowers. the organ was To-
Gated in the rear of the building and
was presided over BY Miss Maud
Smith, who PLAYED a beautiful we'd
ding march rs the wedding party ap-
preached the pulpit. Messrs. Eugene
Connolly and VIM b. Settle acted as
ushers.
The bride is the eldest daughter OF
Mr.. james l.. Smith. and is most es-
timable young lady, well liked by all
who know her. The bride looked
very pretty and wore handsome cos
tune made of two toned novelty goods
(hlue and white). The basque was
made with ripple skirt and broad re-
verse piped with blue velvet and trim
med with violets, white undressed kid
gloves and carried beautiful bouquet
of roses.
The groom wore the conventional
black with tan-colored gloves. Mr..
Clarkson is promising young business
man at present engaged in the flour
milling business at Bismarck, owning
a half interest in one OF the largest
Touring mills in Southeast Missouri.
Immediately after the ceremony
carriages were taken and the happy
couple, with large number of their
friends. were driven to the depot in
time for the 7:25 p. NJ. train, which
the bride and groom took for their
home at Bismarck. The Independent

Then the approach of the cyclone
season was said TO be impairing con-
tidence and making capital timid.
Next business was represented to be
shivering in apprehension of a wide
spread labor strike the first of May.
The dissolution of the Steel Pool, at
irst hera'ded as the beginning of a
boom, was declared destructive of
business confidence after the boom
failed TO come. The Mississippi floods
were exploited as damaging to all sorts
of trade aud commerce.
Altogether we have been made out
to be doing business, in this great
country. on the principle OF the coun-
try town which debates as to whether
circus is good or bad for business.
This is vital question in every rural
center, and not one of them has ever
yet been able to determine satisfactor-
lily whether circus brings more mon
ey to place than it takes out of il.
Of course the Democrats will not
obstruct the passage of the tariff bill.
If obstruction had been their policy
they would have initiated it in the
House. 1t is to the interest OF the
Democratic party, as we'll as of the
country, that the Republicans be Civ

high tariff policy, II that policy can
bring prosperity it will be welcomed
by all good citizens irrespective OF
party. If. as we believe, prosperity
cannot be brought to the country by
such means, then the sooner that fact
is demonstrated the sooner will the de-
sire of the people to try other means
be made effective. -St. Louis PoSt-Dis.

The Want of Confidence"

Republican and goldite newspapers
which find it difficult to square present
business conditions with their prophe-
cies of last year are beginning to say
that fear of Democratic obstruction on
the tariff bin is the cause of want oil
confidence and the delay in the revival
of business.
1t is strange that these journals
should have put off for so long an ex-
explanation which does not explain.

Green Hair; Very Swell"

Green is the color this spring. Not
to Jackets alone is the emerald hue
confined. Gloves are green. Pocket
books and belts reflect the luster of the
Misunderstanding olive. Even the
latest agony in shoes is gravely label
led ..bottled green; very swell"
This is really startling. The aver
age individual if asked a year ago
whether he would wear green shoes
would have loftily ignored the question.
The idea of wabbling around in grass
colored boots would have seemey ridic-
ulous. But ALI the same the the popu-
lar thirst for ox-blood is likely to turn
TO an irresistible craving for green's.
Where is the fad to end? Certainly
not with shoes. Perhaps it will rush
to the head, and lead to green hair.
And this is not so impossible as it at
first seems. Titan tints" are no
longer the latest thing in hair dyes.
In fact, the blind infatuation for that
warm color is in the post-honeymoon.
Ia a short time, it to be feared, the
possessor of that erstwhile popular
shade of hair will again be coarsely
alluded to as red-headed."
Still she can console herself with the
reflection that sooner or later her nat

the meantime, with the aid of her
hair dresser, she can keep up with the
procession. Hence it is not enreason-
able to expect that as the styles in

AS rule, no one is received in an ex-
elusive Mexican home, unless his social
caste is equal to that of the family he
desires to visit, and then he must needs
be presented and vouched for by
friend in whom the household has in
plicit confidence. A suit0r therefore, is

OF the parents of the senorita, whose
audience is being so eagerly sought. The
young gentleman may earnestly pound
upon the massive brass knucker for hours
seeking admttance, but his knocking will
not avail
SO he and the lady of his choice must do
their distant love-ma king in he public view
and hearing, until such time as the stony
parental heart shall have melted suffi-
cientiy to grant him admission to the
family circle. Inside the domestic cita-
Gel the lady meantime warmly pleads the
cause of the unhappy one without extoll-
qualities which she has proved her faith
full admirer to possess. The day is at last
VIGOROUSLY carried, by one means or an
other, and the lovers are allowed the privi-
lege of the parlor; but they are never left
alone. for the old system of chaperonage
Is still rigidly in vogue.
If the attentive lover desires the com-
pany of his chosen one to the opera, or
upon a coach drive ne must include an in
vitation begging the presence OF the father
or mother, or more properly, of the
whole family. Mexican families are, un-
fortunately, given to the prompt accept
