Isadore NJ, youngest daughter of Col.
James Waterhouse of Woonsocket and
Harry K. Jillson, both well known in this
city, were united in marriage Thursday
afternoon at the residence of the brides
parents in Woonsocket. At the conclu-
sion OF the festivities, Mr.. and Mrs. Jillson
took carriage ostensibly to the depot,
but instead came to Pawtucket. The large
number OF friends of the groom were at
the Woonsocket depot In waiting to give
Mr.. Jillson and his bride a great send-ofi,
but they soon realized that they had been
fooled. The aforesaid crowd of young
men, not to be caught mapping in this
way, boarded the next train to this city
and awaited the arrival of the carriage
containing Mr.. and Mrs. Jillson. After
waiting at the depot for an hour or moro
the looked for carriage hove in sight on
Broad street.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jillson alighted from the
carriage at the depot with the firm belief
that they had eluded the merrymaking
young men, but they were agreeably sur
prised for the party was waiting for them.
The dozen young men were provided
with all the paraphenalia that induces
newly married man to believe that there is
more truth than poetry in the line "When
. man marries his troubles begin"
A train was at once boarded for Provi-
dence and the twelve young men pro-
ceeded without delay to advertise the fact
of the wedding. They posted signs on the
car bearing these inscriptions: "We don't
care for anybody, we are married." "Harry
and Dora, just married." "We are so
happy" and "We are going to Provi-
dence." Showers of rice were flung in
the car and the other occupants joined
in the fun, which was kept up during the
four mile trip.
The welded pair were escorted to the
Narragansett Hotel and after more rail-
lery and fun they were left there for their
nuptial tour.

most gratifying showing.

If the country merchant cannot COM

The farmer is not likely to pass by the
merchant of his neighboring town I'M
less there is good deal of money to be
made by doing so; he will not grudge a
small profit to the home retailer. The re-
taller will not pay the farmer cent more
for his produce than the market price,
and he ought not to ask the farmer to
pay him anything more than the market

There is desperate effort being made
by the plutocratic and G. o. P. papers
to make it appear that the state is i'm
mensely prosperous, and the farmers es-
pecially happy. We don't believe there
is any truth in these statements. We
doubt if the surplus wheat crop will pay
the annual interest upon the debts of
the people. We have received letter
from Mr.. John Tillman, of Triumph,
Martin county, Mimi, in which he says.
Sept. Sd:
Crops are very light in Martin coun-
ty in comparison with other years.
Wheat yield is from to 16 bushels, oats
from 20 to %. while barley is no good.
The corn crop will be safe in about three
weeks"
Mr.. H. V. Poore, of Bird Island, Mimi,
writes us as follows, under date of Sept.
18th:
my wheat yielded 1471a bushels from
20 aores-about 7k bushels to the acre.
THIS is A FAIR AVERAGE OF
WHEAT IN THIS TOWNSHIP; some
have gone as low as three bushels per
acre. May the devil take the liars who
are reporting the big wheat crop OF
this state. 1t is one of the poorest in
quantity and quality we have had in
20 years."
We would be glad if our farmer
friends would send us postal cards Civ
ing us the actual facts as to the yield in
their respective localities.
Kansas has done better but even there
the debts of the people are enormous
The Pittsburg Kansan says:
''The wheat crop Of Kansas in round
numbers this year is 5O,0OOOO0 bushels
1t is estimated we can market 35, 600, 900
Should we average 60 cents a bushel tic
the farmer, this will yield $21 900, 900
which is $1,000,0O0 less than the annual
interest Kansas owes on her mortgaged
indebtedness. This million and ten
| more millions which is due on note and
book accounts will be more than made
up out of the corn crop. From Wall
street, a bankers, a money loaner's, a
ncte-scalper's and curbstone brokers'
point of view, this is prosperity

TOO TRUE.

Bro. Dcbs ought not to allow some of the

about reforming things by resolution. Yet

That is it exactly. AS long as we

The Awful Condition of the Striking

to Support u Family.
We do not take much stock in Mr..
Samuel GOmpers. We are inclined to
think he is "a reformer for revenue"
And yet 'the devil can quote Scripture, :"
and Gompers can tell the truth.
Here are some of his recent utter
ances-copied from an article in the
September Forum:
According to a written statement of 4
mining company in the Hooking Valley dis
trict Of Ohio, thirty-nine miners were paid
in wages an aggregate of $223.98 for two
weeks work-or $2.S a man per week From
this is deducted the cost of powder tool
sharpening and wear and tear of pick,
shovel etc The articles purchased by the
families Of the thirty-nine men at the COM
pany's store in the same two weeks
amounted in the aggregate to $l7S.0o-an
average of fraction over S2.& for each
family. not including rent. This statement
It must be borne in mind, is that Of the
employers-not Of the men-and therefore
is certainly not overdrawn to elicit SYM
pathy for the condition of the latter. Nor
was the condition exceptional: it was, I'M
the mining rates were 30 cents per tom
cents higher than the present rates-the
chief mining inspector of Ohio ascertained
that on the average the wages of the min
ers were $lS.4S per month, excluding de-
auctions and expenses.
This dreadful showing forces even the
Chicago Times-Herald, the leading
gold bug paper of the United States, to
remark:
1t requires no master of word craft nor
any profound economic reasoner to dis
close the causes which impelled the pres
ent suspension of work by 10000 miners.
1t was of preservation or destruc-
ton. Whether the condition Of the coal
market and new processes of mining rem
der it impossible TO furnish employment
for all the miners at higher wages, it is
significant that this great organization by
concerted action has not only prevented "a
further reduction Of rates, but has com
PEELED the admission from the operators,
that existing wages are below the legitl-
mate and proper level.
And then when these poor wretches
attempt to peacefully raise their com
pensation to living rates, they are shot
down like dogs, for being on the public
highway. |. d.
