rruthful wedding Write.un.

How the Palmyra Spectator would
write a wedding notice and tell the
truth, IL 1t could only write according
to its convictions: "WIlie Shortliks
and Bette Bloomers were married ct
the church last evening; the church
was prettily decorated with flowers
and potted plants, borrowed promis-
cuously over town of people who didn't
want to lend them. The decorating
was done under protest by some Of
the ladies Of the church, who were
asked to do 30 by the bride and could
not well refuse. The ladies T of the
opinion that II the couple were 30
bent on having a stylish wedding,
they should have been willing to have
paid someone to chase all over town
fer q day getting flowers together and
then taking them home again. The
bride wore a handsome Sflverstein
gown-made at home, and the groom
was decked out in q $40 hand-me-
Down suit. The ushers wore cutaway
coats borrowed for the occasion. Sal
lie Potts was maid Of honor and the
eoncensus Of opinion was that she was
two to one better looking than the
bride. The couple took the morning
train for St. Louis, where they win
spend more money in q few days than
Willie can earn in three months.
Willie says now hes married he's
going to settle down. Some of our
merchants think 1t would have been
better IL be had settled up first. The
groom gets q salary Of $27 q month,
which Is about the allowance Bette il
used TO for pin money. We wish fer
WiIlie's sake that the old saying, that
IL takes no more TO support two than
one wasn't q lie. The bride sent Us g
shoe box full of q conglomerEtion 81
stuff supposed TO be cake; II this Is q
sample OF Bettie's cooking we fee
sorry for Willie. Our janitor'a dos
fell heir 10 the cako, and now be d
lying in the cold, cold ground. But
this wedding is none Of our funeral;
IL Willie and Bette are satisfied, We
have no kick comIng.n

For Presidential Klector.
~ ~ - ~

From he Troy Free Press.
The Democrats Of Lincoln county,
at last weeks convention unanimous
ly adopted q resolution presenting ia
the Ninth district the name of Hon, o,
H. Avery, Of this city, as q candidate
for nomination "a presidential elector,
30 far as we know, this honor has
never been conferred upon Lincoln
county, and II could not be more de-
seryedly or appropriately bestowed
than upon Mr.. Avery. For years
past be has been an enthusiastic and
unselfsh worker in the cause Of Dem
ocracy, and 10 each Of the three last
campaigns made speeches in every
county Of the Ninth district, speaking
several times In some Of the counties.
The nominee for slector is expected
to thoroughly canvass his district dur
ing the presidential campaign, and for
this service Mr.. Avery possesses emf
nent qualifications. His ability as an
orator and thorough accord with the
principles Of Democracy are alike I'M
questioned, and we believe that he,
better than any other, could satisfac-
torily serve the partyin this capacity.
Jas. o. Allison, Of Rails, is, we be-
Heve, the only other avowed aspirant
to the place. While Mr.. Allison is an
able man and q good Democrat he has
been honored with 8 place on the
State Committee for several years
past and we feel that Lincoln, which
has never asked for much from the
district, is entitled to the dictatorship
this time. Let's make 1t Avery and
make 1t unanimous.

son, for 1t viii be remembered that
the British Commander-in in Chief ask
ed the defenders Of Mafeking to hold
on until May IS.
There fs no reason to doubt that
the burning of the Kafir station at
Matching has been revenged by
Baden-Powen. he surrounded the
Beers who held the captured position,
killed seven, wounded seventeen and
captured ninety Of them, among
whom was Commander Eloff,a grand
son Of President Kruger.
The attack on Mafeking was spec
Tally ordered by the authorities at
Pretoria, in order. that Baden Powen's
resistance might be crushed before
the relief column arrived, and there
Is q certain grim humor in the Presi-
DENTS grandson being a captive in
Mafeking, for one Of the reasons
which induced the Beers to make
great efforts to capture the village
was the desire TO take the son Of the
British Prime Minister as a prisoner
to Pretoria.

Division, was at Dannhauaer, twelve

His advanced patrols are nearing

fore, az II his instructions were "a
push north 70 Newcastle in force, fol

Buller says that 1000 Beers were
rstreating before him on the l4th and
18th instant. 1t Is supposed that they
win have by this time taken up po-
sitions at Ingogo and at Lang's Mex,
under the very shadow Of Majuba Hill.
That the Beers will cling to the passes
in the Transvaal at this point may be
taken for granted. They are of enor-
nous natural strength, and to turn
them would necesaitate q long detour
across the Buffalo river By way Of
Utrecht and Wakkerstroom.
II IL be Roberta plan that the
whole attack all along the line be de-
livered simultaneously, there lie not
likely to be any serious development
in the next few days.

AN INVASION BY JAPS.
They are Coming TO This Country By
Thousands, Mostly by Way of Brit
fsh Coin i'm bta.

Washington. June >. - Robert
Watchorn, supervising special imml-
grant inspector at Tacoma, Wash, i'll
a telegram to Commissioner, General
Powderly received Friday, states that
two steamers have arrived at Vic
toria. Il. c.. within the last two days
with 900 japanese immigrants des-
tined for the United States, presum-
ably to avoid possible deportation.
The inspection of the arrivals by the
steamship Glenoglc had been com
pletcd. with the result that so Japan
ase immigrants wer ordered deported.
In a letter to Mr.. POwderly Mr..
Watchorn says that public sentiment
in Tacoma is strongly against the so
called "invasion of japanese and by
public meetings, newspaper criticisms
and discussions in the meetings of the
workingmen an anti-Japanese feeling
| is being aroused"
In discussing this matter in a sub
sequent letter. Mr.. Watchorn says:
Despite the general outcrY against
| this so-called invasion of japanese |
! am quite unable to identify myself
with the publicly expressed opinion
that il is an unmiXed evil The clean
| fincss of the average Japanese immi-
! grant. the abundance and good con-
/ dition of his wearing apparel, the
| amount of cash he possesses, the dt-
vcrsiticd industries they represent
! their numerous and widely separated
| destinations. their health and youth
fuTncss. all tend, in my opinion, to de-
prive the so-called influx of much that
is considered dangerous to the peace
and welfare of society. Nevertheless,
| It is quite apparent that there is some
unlawful immigration being conduct
ed as a purely commercial enter
prise
