reporters who are entirely unscru-

first place, the crowd in our town
last Saturday was not unusually
large. There were more people IN

house was filed with people, but
the majority of Them, or at least
large nun beT OF them were citizen

Editor Who DiscOuntenances
Frippery.

An editor who was thoroughly tired of
the foolishness that goes on at a church
wedding. finally got even as follows, says
the Atchison Globe man: ''They were
married in great style. All the elite of the
town were invited, principally because 1t
was thought that they would be more likely
to bring elegant presents for the bride.
''Of course, the ceremony took place in
the church, and the church was most beau
tifully decorated for the occasion. Potted
plants were borrowed here and there,
wherever. theys could be secured without
making the owner mad enough to tight.
''The brides young lady friends, had the
decorations in charge, and when they were
not making nosegays they were chewing the
rag about the trouble and work, and wish
ing that the bride had sense enough to get
up her own wedding. The ushers wore
c1aw-hammer coats, parted, their hair in
the middle and stepped high when they
walked down the aisle. The coats were
hired from a costumer, and their white
gloves came from an undertaker's, who kept
them on hand for funeral occasions.
cit was a ring ceremony. The ring was a
monstrous gold band borrowed of the vii
lage jeweler. People called the bride love
~, but she was so homely that hollyhocks
wouldn't grow in the dooryard where she
ventional black, so called because his father
once wore the coat to a democratic con-
vention. The presents were simply ele-
CANT. They came from people who couldn' t
afford to hire the washing done or buy
bakers bread. Then after a 'sumptuous
wedding supper the bride and groom went
to st. Louis on their wedding tour, where
they spent more money in "a hours than
both of them can earn in month

WHEELER WAS TOO POLITE.
Embarrassing Dilemma in Which
sGFightIng JOe'' Lately Found
Himself.

At Washington the other day it was rain;
ing hard, and the street cars were crowded
with passengers more or less bedraggleo
Among them was Gen. Joe Wheeler. Next
to him was woman wearing macintosh,
who rose to get off at Fourteenth and +
streets. Gen. Wheeler noticed an umbrel-
la leaning against the car seat.
He grabbed the umbrella, ran after the
woman, caught her at the door and said:
Pardon me, madam, but you left your UNI
brella.''
The woman looked puzzled, but took the
umbrella Gen. Wheeler resumed his, seat.
Then a woman on the other side of him
gave a little scream and said: 'Why, you
nasty little man, you gave that woman my
umbrella" Then she appealed to the con-
ductor.
Gen. Wheeler apOlogized, but the woman
said "Now you just get right off the car
and get it for me or I'll notify the police"
Meekly the veteran of three wars
tumbled off into the rain and ran after the
woman with the macintosh. He made a
hurried explanation, got the umbrella and
rushed back to the waiting car.
AS he handed it back to it's owner he said:
''I trust you Will pardon me, madam. [ as
sure you it was all a mistake"

THE day was when men of promi-
4 nence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains trus to-day
of most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become so justly famous. its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no, one hest
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorse ment.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignifed representative of the
Presby terrain church in the person of
Rev. E. G. Smith does not hesitate to
state publicly that he has used Peruna
in his family and found it cured when
other remedies failed. In this state
ment the Rev. Smith is supported by an
elder in his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of Greensboro, Ga,
writes:
Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth. My little boy
seven years of age had been suffering
for some time with catarrh CT the low
er bowels. Other remedies had failed,
but after taking two bottles of Peruna

for weak and worn out people it has
few or no equals. Rev. E. G. Smith.
Mr.. NJ. j. Rossman, a prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro, Ga, and an elder
in the Presbyterian church Of that
place, has used Peruna, and in recent
letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
For a long time was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave me no re-
lief. Peruna was recommended to me
by several friends, and after using a
few bottles 1 am pleased to say that the
long looked for relief was found and I
am now enjoying better health than
have for years, and can heartily recon-

CONGRESSIONAL DoINGs.
Senate and House Devote Many Hours Each
Day to the Army and ReapportiOn-
menf Measures.

The senate on the Sd displaced the ship
subsidy bill from its privileged position
as unfinished business and substituted
for it the army reorganization bill Sen
ator HansbrOugh On. ID introduced a
bill creating a department of education
and giving the head place in the presi-
dents cabinet. There was a furry
caused in the house by a resolution Of
fered by Mr.. Olmstead Pa.) concern
ing the alleged abridgement of the suf-
frage in Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina and North Carolina and calling
for a committee to investigate the mat
ter. The resolution was finally voted
down by a strict party vote, 81 to 49,
Mr.. Rixey Wa.) introduced a resolu-
ton to investigate why small packages
are carried through the mails for for
is given American citizens. Mr.. Hill
Comm introduced a bill to maintain the
legal tender of silver dollars at parity
with gold.
cusSed the army reorganization kill The
debate took a wide range at times, but
was confined principally to the question
of the necessity for the increase in the
regular army proposed in the pending
measure. The Philippine question was
threshed over at great length, but few
really new points were advanced. The
legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill was reported. The house
had another spirited struggle over the
Olmsted resolution to investigate the
abridgment of the suffrage in certain
southern states with a view to reappor-
tionment upon the actual basis of SUI
frage. 1t was finally referred to the CEN
sus committee. The reapportionment bill
was then taken up. Mr. Shattuc (O)
afterwards introduced in amended
form his resolution proposing con-
gressional inquiry into alleged abridg-
ment of the right of suffrage.
Little was accomplished in the way Of
important legislation by the senate on
the 5th. The committee amendments to
the army bill, to which no objection had
been raised, were agreed to, but none
of the contested amendments were con-
sidered. The amendment giving the presi-
dent the power to fix the component
parts of the army ration was adopted.
The house had an interesting debate on
the reapportionment bill, Mr.. Littlef1eld
(Me) making a strong speech for in
creasing the membership. Mr.. Shattuc
(O0 insisted that in making the reap
portionment the representation should be
reduced in all states where the right to
vote is abridged. Mr.. Klutz IN. c.
argued in favor of the bill, because he
thought 357 members was enough for the
house.

THE STATE OF TRADE.
1t Is Quiet in All Lines, Interest Being Con-
centrated in Stock Taking - Cereals
Administration Unchanged.

New York, Jan. 5.-Bradstreet's to-
day says: Trade has been quiet in
all lines, interest being concentrated
largely in stock taking and contem-
plation of 1900 results. Cereals and
provisions have advanced this week,
while stocks have declined, but the
upward movement has been one of
those familiar of late, short swing
with small fluctuations, limited by
feverish desire to bag profits. Cotton
is rather quiet and unchanged on the
week. Wool is dull and rather easy.
The feature of the week in iron and
steel has been the large sales of steel
rails reported from the west, Chicago
particularly, reporting $4,000 tons
sold in one lot. This spirit of activ-
ity contrasts strongly with the quiet
reported in nearly all other finished
lines and also in raw pig.
