The people seem to have taken heart, now
that Congress has adjourned, and they have
nothing to fear from the lawmakers. as our
State Legislature is not in session. The
abundant harvest and good price for grain
are causing a distribution of 100000 day
from Toledo. The farmers, in turn, are buy
ing implements, and this of course. starts
the industries Yes, prosperity Is here.

From jobbers and manufacturers stand
point. there is much of encouragement
business is good and improving. Our city
trade is cautious. as almost everybody
is exhausted from unwise investments in
real estate during boom times. The i'm
provement. doubt. comes from higher
prices for farm products. from natural re-
covery from a collapse, and from a strong
belief that the tariff question seems to be
settled for four years at least.

The outlook for fall trade at the head of
the lakes is very promising. Prospects of a
splendid yield of wheat in Minnesota and
the Dakotas, which will command good
prices on account of short crops elsewhere,
Will bring money in abundance to the North
west. The lumber market is in splendid con-
dition, with demand good at advanced prices,
guaranteeing heavy operations in numbering
next winter. Labor at the present time is
in good demand at fair wages. Shipments
of iron ore are heavy. All this goes to
prove that prosperity will again smile on
the head of the lakes.

Considering the State as whole, Kansas
has excellent crops this year. The failure
of the grain supply In other parts of the
world has ma turally resulted in great de-
mand for Western grain and better prices
therefor. My judgment is that this will i'm
prove our fall trade without doubt

Terms of the Well Contract.


l. Feitel, of New Orleans, whose bid
was accepted for boring the necessary
wells for water works, has filed the re-
quired $1,000 bond and the contract
has been signed on the part of the city
by Mayor Daughtry. His machinery
and piping were placed on the ground
Saturday, and Monday he started to
work with a good force.
Mr.. Feitel agrees to furnish every
thing necessary and bore two siX-inch
wells from one hundred to two hun
dred feet deep for S475 per foot and
guarantee the wells to furnish 100000
gallons of water per day. If the wells
do not furnish that amount of water,
the contractor to have the right to sink
additional wells enough to furnish
100000 gallons, but only two to be paid
for.
When the first well is completed the
agreement provides that the city may,
if it wish, try for artesian water-the
contractor to telescope the we'll with
215 inch pipe to the depth of 1000 feet
or less at the price of S1.50 per foot.
Should the experiment prove success
full the contractor agrees to telescope
the we'll with a four inch pipe and
strainer, the city to furnish the pipe.
Should artesian water be struck I'M
der 1000 feet, the contractor agrees to
sink as many siX-inch wells as may be
desired at $3.50 per foot. A further
proposition, to be at the option of the
city, was to furnish 100000 gallons Of
water from siX,inch wells, fitted com
plete with air compressor machinery
for $3.50.
Payment is to be made as follows:
$500 when the we'll machinery is on the
ground and 800 per week until 1900
shall have been paid; balance due, if
any, to be paid on completion of the
wells.
The proposition to establish water
works was supported and carried, in
large part at least, under the impress
sion that the city was to be furnished
with artesian water, and THE LEADER
believes nothing less will give satisfac-
ton; certainly not until it has been
demonstrated that an artesian well
cannot be obtained here. We there
fore hope our City Fathers will have
the test made for an artesian we'll be-
fore anything else is accepted. Sur
face we'll water is quite plentiful al

Just such a day had never dawned
before-the wedding day Of Miss Mar
guerite Herring aud Mr.. James Frank
lin Wray. For some time Cupid had
slyly whispered that the heart Of this
fair and gifted belle had been wooed
and won by some fortune favored
knight, and so, on the tiptoe Of expec-
tation we're her very many Brookha.

From the time "Marguerite" first
entered Whitworth College until she
received her diploma, her name, her
exquisite voice, her charming person
atty we're conspicuous in Brookha'
ven: for she was "gifted above her fell
lows" Because of this, together with
her always modest and womanly bear
ing, this city was proud to claim heI
as one of her very own ; and now that

sponsibilities have come to her and

The suspicious evening, with its &C
companying festivities, was fitting fl.
male to her happy girlhood, and a
beautiful prelude to Il life, we trust
filled with the sweetest cadences and
grandest symphonies that time can
awaken. The Methodist church, so
daintily and artistically adorned by
the hands of loving friends, was a
scene of "love and beauty" literally
The music, the flowers, the myriad
burning tapers, the charming brides
maids in their snow-white organdies
the handsomely attired groomsmen
the bride in her elegant robe of rich
est white satin beside him she loved
and honored, all conspired to make
one wish that scenes so beautiful were
not so transitory. The bride was ''giv
en- away" by her brother, Mr.. j. d.
Herring; and after the ceremony by
Pres. J. w. Chambers, Mr.. and Mrs
Wray departed on the night train fol
Reidsvlle, N. c., where they will visit
the groom's parents for season, and
later leave for Washington City, where
Mr.. Wray holds position in the

The site selected is about 300 yards
north of the Illinois Central depot, and
lies in the "V" formed by the main line
of the Illinois Central and it's branch
road, which now extends about eight
miles east. The lot is 500-115
feet in size and extends all the
way through the V, giving it a frontage
on both lines of the railroad. The
