A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
George Harkin and Miss Mamie Corcoran
Spring a Surprise On Their Friends

George Harkin and Miss Mamie Corcoran
Spring Surprise On Their Friends.
1t was announced Sunday evening
that Miss Mamie Corcoran and George
Harkin had been married and the an
nouncement proved great surprise to
their friends and their relatives as WE'LL
and after lodging the question the
young people finally admitted that
they were man and wife and had been
married in Milwaukee on the 18th Of
last January.
The young people are we'll known in
the city and for some time it was eX-
pected that their wedding was a thing
of the near future, and it has even been
limited that they were married during
the Chicago jubilee, but no one was
expecting to find that they had been
married for so long a time. At the
time of the wedding the two young
people were visiting in Milwaukee and
after the ceremony was performed both
returned home and lived just rs if
nothing had happened and the event
was not announced eveh to the nearest
relatives of the contracting parties.
Miss COrcOran went about her work as
usual and George, Of course, didn't say
a word about it. However, the young
people were not able to keep their
secret any longer and it leaked out on
Sunday morning when the young lady
showed the wedding ring which she
had been wearing about her neck on a
white ribbon. Mr.. and Mrs. Harkin
are receiving the congratulations of
their friends today and will soon settle
down in coy little nest on Eagle
street.
The two young people who have
thus announced their marriage after
many months, are exceedingly we'll
known in the city, Mr.. Harkin being
known to almost every one as the news
dealer with Mrs. Grosvenor. Miss
COrcoran is a sister of John COrcoran,
formerly Clerk of the Court, and for
several years she has been a stenog-
rapher for Attorney Peter Fisher. A
young lady of culture, refinement and
cheerful disposition, she has won the
hearts of all her friends and enters
married life with the best wishes of all

Racine Brothers.

Kenosha Chapter Entertained Royalty by
Racine Brothers.
Thirty eight members of the local
lodge of Masons went to Racine Mon
day evening to attend the third annual
banquet of the Racine lodge, and from
the stories told today the evening must
have been one of the most pleasant
ones ever enjoyed by the Masons of the
two cities. The ceremonies were held
in the Masonic Temple and visiting
Masons were present from Milwaukee,
Kenosha, Waukegan and in fact nearly
every chapter sent several representa-
tives.
After the ceremonies were over the
members retired to the dining room
where q sumptuous banquet was
served. After the banquet the usual
Masonic toasts were delivered, among
the speakers being Brothers Hastings
and Boyington, of this city. The Ke-
nosha members returned home early
this morning CD a special car of the

A MILITARY WEDDING.
Sergeant Brainard is United to Mrs. Kate
Florence Rich.

A military wedding was celebrated
in Kenosha Saturday afternoon, in
which large number of citizens viii
be greatly interested. The contracting
parties were Sergeant Charles E.
Brainard, of Fort Sheridan, member
of the United States regular army and
a former Kenosha boy, and Mrs. Kate
Florence Rich. The ceremony was
simple and was performed by court
commissioner Henry j. Hastings. The
bride was attired in neat travelling
suit, while the groom wore his full
dress uniform of his rank in the army.
The bride is very we'll known in this
city, being the youngest daughter of
the late Judge David Noggle, who for
many years was circuit judge in this
district.

POISONED BY CANDY.
Misses Ethel Hill and Josephine Murty
Have Narrow Escape From Death.

Ethel Hill and Josephine Murty, two
we'll known little girls of the city, are
recovering today from an attack of
poisoning which was caused by their
eating some candy. Miss HilPs mother
had gone away to visit relative yes
terday afternoon, and Miss Murty had
gone to stay with the young lady dur
ing her mothers absence. The young
ladies worked about the house until
late in the afternoon, when they came
down town and bought five cents
worth of candy of one of the Main
street drug clerks. They ate the candy
and going home prepared supper for
Mr.. Hill and the children. After par
taking of the evening meal the young
ladies went up stairs, and almost at
once both of them were taken violently
i'll.
Terrible commissions took hold OF
them and spells of vomiting and al
though several neighbors were called
in nothing could be done to relieve
their suffering. They tossed about on
the bed and floor and all the muscles
were contracted as if they had been
poisoned with strychnino.
DR.. Pugh was called and succeeded
in allaying the suffering of the young
ladies, but was not able to say what
had caused the commissions. When
the girls regained consciousness they
refused to say anything about the affair,
beyond the fact that they had been
eating candy and chewing gum. They
also refuse to divulge the name Of the
drug store at which the candy was
procured. They are resting easy today
and are regarded out of danger.

School this Morning.


Ruth and Margaret, children of Mrs.
Helen Mooers Stayner, who has been
missing since the night of Oct. 10, will
be taken this morning to Kemper Hall,
the Episcopalian boarding school at
Kenosha. The children are 7 and 9
years old, respectively. They have
been at the former boarding house of
thoil. moUner at 832 HoltOn street since
her disappearance and were taken care
of by Mrs. Howard Haymaker, with
whom Mrs. Stayner had lived.
The father of the children, DR.. VIM.
81. Stayner, is still in Ell Paso, Texas,
preparing to locate for the practice of
medicine and has not arranged to re-
turn to Milwaukee, at least in the near
future.
DR.. Emma W. MoOers, "a sister of Mrs.
Stayner, has arrived in Chicago from
Southampton, Mass. She was met in
Chicago by her sister, Frances OF this
city. The two women will search for a
few days in Chicago before coming to
Milwaukee.
Mrs Hazen MOOerS, mother of Mrs
Stayner, is convinced, however, that
her daughter is dead and yesterday
expressed the opinion that further
search would be futile.-Sentinel.

and general uperintendent of the
Chicago telephone company, were in
this city today for the purpose of max
ing arrangements to furnish much
better telephone connection between

announcing the serious illness Of his
father, F. W. Lyman, who is one of the
Oldest and best known residents of

JOKE ON THE OFFICER.
The Thief Catcher Unsuspeotfnsly
oives His suit to "a wsgo~
Thief to Clean

There is good story told on a
prominent official of Allegheny, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. He denies IL,
but its truth is vouched for by another
wcll-known official. Some days ago,
the story goes, the former official hap
pened to be going into his residence
on one of the prominent thorough
fares when he saw man hurrying
across the street with several pieces OF
mems wearing apparel on his arm. The
man was walking in the direction Of a
wagon nearby that belonged TO u clean
ing and dyeiDg establishment. II struck
the official that he would have one Of
his spring suits cleaned, and he hailed
the man, thinking he was in charge Of
the wagon. However. the fellow proved
to be thief and had just robbed hall
rack In neighboring boarding house.
When the onicinl cried ont to him.
Say. mister. have suit wish you
would have cleaned" the thief took In
the situation and saw that he had been
taken for the driver Of the wagon. He
coolly went over and got the officials
suit. The thief was well out of sight
before the real driver of the wagon re-
turned and the truth became known.

Lively Bare Hills.

Work on the new reduction works
is progressing satisfactorily. With
the exception of the engine the ma
chinery is all in place. The furnaces
are all in progress of construction
and will be completed within ten days,
at which time, if the engine is ready,
the plant will be in condition to re-
ceive ore. There are a number of
workings here whose owners are wait
ing impatiently for the word to COM
mance hauling ore, and the plant will
have all that it can possibly treat from
the start This will enable the imme-
diate profitable working of several
prospects that have uncovered bodies
of low grade ore, the values of which
are not high enough to permit of trans
portation to railroad points, and will
place Bare Hills among the list of
producing gold camps.
The Warren, at depth of 300 feet,
has broken into blanket of quartz
conglomerate running $24 in gold.
AT this writing A feet of it has been
exposed and they are not yet through
the strata. This formation is exposed
in different places around the edge
of the eruptive area, but So to $40
are about the best values obtained
from the groupings. The fact of tits
presence in the Warren shaft, which
is close to the center of the district,
would seem to indicate that the blan-
ket covers the entire eruptive area,
and that it is only question of OBJ
tanning sufficient depth to uncover it
almost anywhere. One thing is GER
tain, it is good pay proposition for
the Galveston people, as they are only
two miles from the mill.

CANON'S VINEGAR WORKS.
An Institution Greatly Needed in a
Fruit Growing Section, and
Should Receive Hearty
Encouragement.

Among the new enterprises OF
which the people of Canon City have
just reason to be proud is the Canon
City Cider & Picking works located
just across the track from the Rio
Grande depot grounds. Erected at a
cost of something like SO, 700 and
fully equipped for the manufacture OF
a high grade of pure, sweet cider,
cider vinegar, apple butter, pickles,
and canned goods of everv descrip-
tion, it is well calculated to take
care of all surplus fruit and garden
produce heretofore thrown away and
wasted. The plant is far from being
Cheap John" affair. 1t was put in
for the purpose of doing good, legiti-
mate business, with sufficient capacity
to meet all demands that might be
made upon it. The management of
the concern is in the hands of gen
tleman thoroughly educated in this
line, man with whom it is pleasure
to do business A. F. Cherry.
While all the machinery and other
paraphernalia is not yet in place, still
the plant is in shape to handle the
bulk of everything that is offered.
Large quantities of apples and cucum-
bers are now being accepted, which
are converted into vinegar and pick
les. The writer is not well enough
versed in the uses of each item of
equipment to enter into a detailed
account of the institution, but as visi-
tors are always extended courteous
welcome we invite everyone interested
in the development of the city's re-
sources to go and see it. Especially
should those engaged in fruit culture
investigate the merits of this plant,
as to them accrues the profit of its
operation.
Of what other places think of such
things it is only necessary to say that
Grand Junction offers $4,000 for one
of similar character, while the public
spirited people of town no larger
than Fruita, near the Utah line, agree
to pay a good round bonus for one.
There can be no question about its
great need in communities where fruit
culture and garden products are given
the attention they are in Canon City,
and it is self-evident fact chat the
fruit growing sections of tie western
slope have grasped the situation in
every detail.
