A quiet and pretty wedding GER
emony occurred at S. S. Peter and
PaulS Catholic church, Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock, when Father
TOplak joined in holy matrimOny Miss
Lizzie Mccarthy, daughter of black
smith John Mccarthy, this city, and
Mr.. William J. McGrOgan, Of Thorpe,
Wis. Many relatives and friends
were present at the church as wit
neSseS. John Mccarthy Jr. acted as
best man and Miss Tressa Tinetti, of
MOSinee, was bridesmaid. A bOunteOus
wedding dinner was served at the
home of the brides parents, forty
covers being laid, and the happy
couple departed on the afternoon
Green Bay train for Stevens Point,
going thence to Thorpe where they
will begin housekeeping at once. Miss
Mccarthy has been absent the past
year sewing at Thorpe where she met
Mr.. McGrOgan, who owns and con-
ducts livery and dray line at that
place. May success and happiness at
tend them all their days is the least
wish Of YOUR scribe.

1t costs money to go to the Klondyke

about staying at home for nothing
Philadelphia Leader.
Unless a man has the capital to in
vest III an outfit and a large commissary
he is taking more chances on death
than tortune.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
1t Russia had known that portions of
Alaska were principally composed of
gold she wouldn't have sold it to Will

In view of the enormous amount of
metal some Of the pans in that Klon-
dyke district are said to wash, it's very
probable lots Of stories won't wash

Many young men who are going to
Alaska to get a few bags of gold dust
and a barrel or so of nuggets will be
sending home for the price of return
ticket before they have sojourned very
long in the klondyke country.-Minne

Some Of those who will 90 to Alaska,

Larg e Reception.

The reception by Mrs. VIM. Scott
FRIDAY afternoon last for her guest Miss
Ada Brookins, of Sioux City, Iowa, was
an elite social affair One hundred
twenty invitations were issued to the

dered sweet music during the afternoon

Condition of Trade.

The end of uncertainty regarding
duties on imports gives greater conf
denCe alike to those who have OppOS-
ed and those who have favored the
change. The great strength in stocks,
particularly in those of the Granger
list, reflects assurance of heavy crops.
The remarkable rise in wheat, not
Withstanding that assurance is
based on heavy buying for export and
belief that foreign demands will be
large. To these must be added an
other element of confidence scarcely
observed a week ago. The heavy in
crease in receipts Of gold, whether
from one side OF Alaska border or the
other, SWells deposits at the minis
and in the banks of this country, and
if the yield from new regions answers
current expectations, may have an in
tluence akin to that of gold discoveries
in California. The one retarding
force, the strike of coal miners, has
caused closing of a few manufacturing
works for want of fuel, but negOtia-
tiOns for settlement are still pushed
with hope.
