Monday Wedding.

A quiet nuptial ceremony was per-
formed at the NJ. E. parsonage in this
city by Rev. F. A. Nimits, Monday
afternoon which joined as man and
wife John Biringer of Centralia,
brakeman on the Milwaukee road, to
Miss Josie Dean of Merrill. We under
stand that this couple have not
determined which of the cities along
the Valley line shall be adopted for
their future residence place, but we
know that Mr.. Biringer's many friends
here would be pleased to see the
choice of ''home" named in favor of
Centralia.

Charles G. PomainyiIIe, D. D. S.

A few very neat and handsomely
printed cards reached our city the
first day of this week announcing to
the persons in receipt thereof that
"The Faculty and Class of Ninety
nine, Chicago College of Dental Sur
gerry, Dental Department of Lake
Forest University, desire the honour
of your presence at their Commence
ment Exercises, Wednesday, April 5,
1899, { t 2:30 p. M, Central Music Hall,
Chicago" The names of the faculty,
instructors and demonstrators, class
officers and committees were attached.
The class roll numbered 160 graduates,
including thereon the name of ChaS.
G. Pomainville of Grand Rapids.
The above invitation indicates that
student Pomainville's examinations
satisfied the faculty of the big Chicago
institution and that he has received
the degree of Doctor of Dental Sur
gerry. This degree means much to
him. 1t is the reward for three years
of industry and thorough study as a
foundation for special professional
work in life's busy working arena-it
is the stamp of ability to practice
anywhere and successfully operate on
all m GLARS and bicuspids that come
his way. The REPORTER is pleased
to offer congratulations knowing that
Mr.. Pomainville's standings were
among the best in the large class and
that his title was conscientiously
earned and is we'll merited.
In addition to the regular college
course Mr., Pomainville supplemented
his training by practical work during
vacation months in the operating
rooms of DR.. d. A. Teller, this city,
where Charles received many pointers
of value to him. He gained still an
extra mark by passing rigid exam
ination mot necessarily required) be-
fore the Illinois State Board last
spring. However, he is not yet con-
tent to hang out the shingle, but will
take up the postgraduate spring
course in Chicago in order to get all
the finer tinishingS in the art possible

Good Advice.

IF you have made up your mind to
live III town then stand it; say all the
good things you can about it. Do
what you can to help along every man
who is engaged in a legitimate busi-
ness. Don't send away for everything
nice you want and then expect home
men to keep a stock to suit the whim
of one or two possible customers. The
success Of your fellow townsmen will
be your success. No man liveth to
himself, and no man does business in
dependent of his fellow men. Take
your home papers. Don't imagine
that the city dailies fill up all the
space: there are so many little crevlces
of good cheer, social sunshine, per-
SOnal mention, in a home paper, that
the big dailieS do not care for and
don't print. Don't abuse your neigh
Dor. The main difference in the
number of your faults and his, is that
you see his through magnifying
glass of criticism and yours as
through glass darkly. The ill-omened
bird, the croaker, can do the town
more harm in a minute than two good
citizens can repair IL month. "-EX.

THE LITTLE BOY DROWNED.
A Family Breaks through the Ice on the
Wisconsin River,

A Family Breaks through the Ice on the
Wisconsin River
a very sad and unfortunate accident
occurred last Thursday on the Wis
consin river, near Germantown.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dammert of Hadlock,
with two children, crossed over the
river in the morning for the purpose
of visiting a sister of Mrs. Dammert
who resides in Germantown.
On their return about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon, when only few rods
from the west bank of the river, the
near horse broke through the ice: the
same instant the sleigh broke through
leaving the occupants in the water.
A boy of twelve years rescued him
self without aid.
Mrs. Dammert was holding in her
arms little boy five years old, and in
her struggles she lost hold of him and
he was carried under the ice by the
water which is very swift at that
point.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Dammert would
have perished had not assistance been
near. Fortunately, their team was
also saved.
The grief of the poor mother can
better be imagined then described.
While struggling in the water, she
thought her boy was dead, but she
would at least have his body, and after
her own escape, it was with great diff
Guilty they persuaded her to leave the
spot. "A dams County Press.

A Pleasing Event.

On Monday evening, last, at eight
o'clock p. m., the mystic words were
spoken that united in marriage, Hugh
0. Beadle and Miss Anna X. Johnson.
The event occurred at the Baptist par
sonage, the Rev. p. W. Longfellow
prOnouncing the marriage service
Both the young people are we'll known
in the city, and are prominent work
ers in the First Baptist church. The
bride has been for years a valued
member of the choir and a teacher in
the Sunday school. Mr., Beadle was a
corporal in Company Z, and served
with honor in the Porto Rican cam
paign. He is now connected with the
Phoenix Lumber company. = Eau

1t is easy enough to win husband.
Most any attractive little dumping

husbands are thicker than hair on a

out their true nobility and secure it at

Howe HIGH School,

Members of the school all returned
to their desks Monday morning after
a vacation of one week. They all
appear to work the remaining eight
weeks in earnest.
Geo. Compton has returned to school
after seven weeks sickness, but looks
as though he would wind up his junior
studies.
Messrs. Isaac P. Witter and G. NJ.
Dahl of University visited the school
Tuesday.
Many of the Howe High school girls
attended the dance last Monday night
but there were none who were at
tended by high school boys. Some
thing is evidently lacking-either
local patriotism or too fancy appear
ing male visitors in town.
Certain members of the Forum are
trying to get an indefinite postpone
ment of meetings, but whether the
motion will pass or not is unknown at
this time. The program will be given
in this column in case the session is
held.
The senior class has had several loud
debates about the kind of programs
to be used for commencement. This
is the first o.mo during its history
that the members have disagreed.
Some of the freshmen class say they
will be glad when it is good wheeling
because Mr.. Blynd is going to learn to
ride his wheel. They expect then to
have a Latin class about once per
week.

and Soothed. There is something in
the mans great, rough, earnest nature
that can be won quicker and easier
with gentleness and pie than by the
logic OF the brOOmhandle and a
bilious course of reasoning with bread
and milk diet.
We have seen a girl, who understood
her business, take a reformed road
agent by the nose, so to speak, and
lead him through life in such a way
that he wouldn't know but that he
was boss OF the ranch. So perfect was
the delusion that, when she asked
him to bring in Scuttle of coal, or
get up in his night-shirt and kill a
burglar, that he knew was nothing
but bobtailed COW, four blocks away,
he always went; and he felt as though
he counted it mark of special favor
that a poor, unworthy worm of the
dust, like him, should be sought out
and delegated to go and chase lame
COW across nine vacant lots, with an
old barrel stave, and clothed in moth
but little brief authority and a knit
under-shirt.
We cannot exactly describe this
magic power of devoted wife over
her husband, and we do not intend to
try it. 1t is an unseen motive. a
nameless leverage that makes the
husband get up in the dead hour of
the night and set the pancake batter
near the parlor stove.
A man need not think that, because
he gets up and looks for burglars in
the night and is otherwise Obedient.
1t IS because he has no backbone. 1t
is simply because he is the husband of
woman OF whom he ought to be
prOud.-Ex.

ENERGY FROM SUN AND STARS.
Radiation of Heat From These Bodie
Imparts Vigor to Men.

Radiation of Heat From These Bodie
Imparts Vigor to Men.
From knowledge.
According to the ordinary view the
sun is constantly radiating heat in all
directions, and I think it is generally
supposed that only a small portion of
this heat encounters material bodies at
any distance. however great If so, the
question arises
What becomes of the residue?"
Physical research leads us to believe
that heat cannot be destroyed, but only
transformed; yet many persons seem to
think that this heat vanishes like a
ghost without transformation and with
out producing any effect. This may be
so, but it is SO much opposed to phys
lcal analogieS that we should be slow
TO accept it unless on the basis of def
mite observations, which I think it will
be admitted are not at present forth
coming.
Nor can we confine the question to
the sun. The loss of radiant heat must
Con the theory which I am now consid-
ering) extend to all the stars A larger
portion of the heat of some Of them is,
no doubt, intercepted by other bodies,
but some of it must escape-vanish like
ghost without transforma tion-or at
least it is losing motion. for the supply
of heat may be temporarily kept up by
=.
for example, bombardment of meteo-
rites. But that a good part of the radi-
ant heat vanishes, thus lessening the
total amount of force--of heat and its
equiValents-in the universe, seems to
be common opinion. This theory,
however for, of course everything on
the subject is theory, will strike many
OF your readers as unsatisfactory for
physical, not metaphysical or theologi-
cal reasons. But if this heat be not lost,
what becomes of it?
If the suns rays and those of the
stars always met with some material
body. however great its distance might
be, the problem would be solved; there
would be no loss of heat to the universe.
The sun may at present be radiating
more than 1t receives. and, consequent
ly cooling, but in travelling through
space it may reach other regions in
which these conditions will be reversed.'
But it seems plain that if this be the
case the greater part of the bodies
which encounter the solar heat are
dark bodies, or else that there Is an alb
sorpticn of light and heat by the ether
AS maintained, I believe, by the great
observer, Struve-Would equally solve
the problem, for the light and heat
thus absorbed could not be lost and
would probably be given back by the
ether to the material bodies in some
lldllilel yel titateu N)lHtl wise IL
would change the properties of the
ether.
A third possible alternative is that
radiation, like sraVitation, only acts be-
tween material bodies and that, though
like gravitation, it acts on a material
body in any direction and follows it
in all its movements there is no ex-
penditure of force in the directions in
which no material body is encountered.
On this theory there also would be no
loss of heat. There would only be an
interchange of the same kind as if ev-
cry heat ray ultimately encountered a
material body.

blew off the land. The Greyfriars and the
Arthur came off easily. fnasmuch as
they had grounded on soft mud. But the
Mancestria hung for time on a pivot of
sunken ice Eventually she was freed
and then the Lorna Doone and the Buc-
cancer Joined them.
The worst bit of fortune was yet to
come. While trying to get beyond the
ice belt into open water the Arthur struck
an iceberg. She was temporarily sepa-
rated from her companions at the time,
but few hours later the Lorna Doone
came back in search of her. By that
time the Arthurs captain had driven her
ashore and had manned his lifeboats. Not
man was lost, but the ship was badly
stove and most of her cargo-merchandise
which it had been proposed to exchange
for Siberian produce-was hopelessIy
damaged. Only little of it was taken
off and brought home.
Early in September the Mancestria was
dispatched to London with tidings ana
the Greyfriars followed closely. Other IN
formation leads to the conclusion that
the summer just ended was a partlcu-
larry unfavorable one for penetrating
Kara sea, but the fate of this expedition
will probably deter others from trying
the same thing for some years to come
