the Citizens State Bank and Miss Sadie
Hewes, sister OF Mrs. w. F. Kessler and
Mrs. w. A. Laidlaw were made man and
wife by Rev. S. F. Beer. The bride
looked charming in n dark brocadea

The parlors were tastefully bedecked
with cut flowers and plants of rare foli-
age making most pleasing back ground
to the bridal party as the ceremony was
being performed. The groom, Mr.. j. D.
Milne is one of our best known and most
enterprising young business men and
his bride. Miss Hewes, has shown her

graduated in having drawn such prize
in the matrimonial venture. The young
couple will for the present be lat home'
at Mrs Kesslers residence on Spruce st.
The same evening at the Palace Hotel
the knot was securely tied by Rev. Dou-
gan, uniting in marriage 3. w. .Gerkie

we'll known young people of this city.
The hotel parlors were deliberately de-
corated for the event, the tints blending
beautifully with rich and handsome
attire of the bridal party. Mr.. Gerkie in
Langdons we'll known young cigar maker
and his bride, whose home is near Han
nah, has for some time past had charge
of the dining room of the Palace Hotel.

TIE PECK BROTHERS
How They Cost Some People
a Lot of Money!.

A number Of people iG Nevada are
curslng the bitter end OF experience
with ne advent and departure OF the
PEEK Brothers.
Ab'ur two years ago the Peck Bro,
OF Chicago, came To this State and
~annouuced that they had q new pro.
cess for treating tailings. They ap-
peared 10 ave a dig thing and had
no trouble in getting backing, Their
idea was that they would save about
80 per cent OF @nt value Of the metal,
anc OF C urse there are numbers of
people In this country who are all the
while on ;hs lookout for something
that viii! save a big per cent of gold or
silver,
John Mackay was 80 taken with the
new process that lie SEM one Of the
trOthers t. South Africa aud it cost
him about $65, 900. He is not sending
any more Of h+ brothers there now.
John 2 Jones considered the Peck
process a good thing and he pushed il
along. but how much he dropped In
he venture is not known, but it was
c 'n~slderaDie.
Even old Joe Douglas. reckoned as
the closest tigureis and shrewdest
fiCancers in Nevada, got in to the
tune of S44 900. Several other DAYTON
people got in for various
but they are keeping their losses very
quiet.
When the Peck's opened up at Dav-
ton the town vent wild and gave them
a DIS reception. with several extra
kegs OF beer, and the Peck's in turn
gave Ice cream and sponge cake blow
out to the social whirl in Dayton and
became very popular.
Some little Carson capital also went
into the Peck process and didn't coma
out
The smoothest piece Of work was
when they worked the Rock Poiut
tailings. There was about 14.OOO
tons II the stnf valued at about SlS a
ton. They got DOUGLAS to put up a
mill and when he y got through work.
ing they were good enough to leave
Douglas the mill.
1t seems that when ever q stranger
comes into Nevada be is always sure
OF getting good responsible backing
The Peck process of working the
siums is said to have not been much
netter than a As per cert proposition,
but Ia working their hackers they got
all the metal there was 10 sight.

from hefact they are long way out Of
their usual route of travel, it may be
mat they were brought this way by
the north winds and settled down in
Carson because they liked the general
appearance OF the town. They are
also found in Wisconsin. MICHIGAN
and Canada.
D name wax wing is doubtless
given them from the fact that the
Ups OF the wing feathers have "a dash

dripping from the feather. 1t also

spots higher up the wing and the tail

They seem very much at home and
are feeding on the frozen fruits that

the small boys have began shooting
them and if they keep it up they will

Another Open Letter.

lies that a case calling for charity

Scripture for an ATTORNEY

When Uber was lynched his rela :
tlves in the East wrote to All. Chartz
his attorney, for full particulars. The
attorney busted himself in the case
a good deal. and as his uncle was
quite wealthy it was supposed that
money would be spent lavishly TO
bring the offenders to justice in Grim
lnal u civil suits for damages. As
soon as the relatives ascertained that
civil suits would cost some money
they concluded that they we're 10 no
hurry to bring them.
The relatives Of Uber are verv re.
lglons people and here are some ex-
tracts from a letter received the other
day from Uber's sister:
The Lord has saved me from all
feeling against them. There is no
thought in my heart Of that kind
The Lord has filled my SOU with love
and good will to everybody and I can
pray for these fellows who murdered
my brother.
please read Matt. S: A.
Romans. l: 10, 20, 81.
Il will admit that I do not know
very much, See Isl, Corinthians. /:
81"
LII another letter the attorney is ad-
vlsed to get his reward in Heaven for
his past services to Uber. The above
is but a few samples of many from
her letters, and whenever Chartz,
the attorney, goes to the postoffice be
packs a bible in his pocket in order to
be able to decypher the meaning Of
Miss Uber's letters. Each letter con
talns a tract published by the GOSPEL
Trumpet Publishing Co.. which he is
advised to read carefully.

A COLLEGE FOR LOVERS.

Such an Institution Is Needed for
 Training Men in Love Making.
 Miss Lillian Bell, who has won fame as an authoress, her last book being "A Little Sister of the Wilderness, is Of the opinion that some one should found 9 college for training men in love-mak- ing. This is how she expressed herself in 6 recent interview:
 T suggested once a kindergarten for the training of husbands. Now I want to change that and have a college for lovers, with a postgraduate course for husbands As it is now-weil, almost any girl can do almost anything with a man. You know how easily one girl can rob another girl of her lover. He, poor, blind being, never suspects it. A girl would know in a minute if another man was trying 10 win her from her lover. She has munitions like antennae which tell her the very nature of every ap- proaeh But with man it is different He secs only a sympathetic soul' in the girl who leads him away by all the delib- crate arts of which she is mistress. But there! one can go on all day talking about these things. Everybody likes to talk about love. People ask me if I am not suplifted' by the success I have had, but I tell them it was not any great in- spiration on my part. When I began to talk of love l had the ear of the world"

HE WANTED TO START RIGHT.
Fees the Conductor to Insure the
 Comforts of the Road.


 On one of the South Halsted street cars, when it left the neighborhood of the stock yards the other morning, was a man with brand new valise that had splashes of mud on it and gave other evidence Of having just arrived in Chi cago, says the Tribune.
 The man wore black felt hat and a large checked suit, and there was mud enough on his heavy boots to show he had just traversed a portion of the stock yards. He boarded the car at Thirty ninth street, put his valise on the seat beside him, and when the conductor stopped to take his fare he pulled out a roll of bills.
 The conductor extracted a nickel from a one dollar bill and handed over the change. The man with the valise extracted a silver quarter dollar from the change and handed it back to the conductor.
 ''Here," he said, so loudly that every one in the car looked to see what was going on, There's a quarter for your eelf'
