[From Fridays Daily.]
After many trials and tribulations
Miles Hough a prosperous farmer of
Blakesburg, and Miss M. Mcintyre of
Toronto, Canada, were unitel in mar
rage in the county clerks Office at 5
o'clock yesterday evening. There is
romance connected with the mar
riage of this pair that was not appar-
ent on the surface. Yesterday was
the first time the couple had ever met
All their counting had been done
ance had been made, it is said through
the medium of an advertising bureau
although the latter was Indignantly
denied by the happy groom. 1t ap-
pears this was not the first time Mr..
Hough has been in Ottumwa to meet
his prospective bride. All arrange
ments were completed for meeting
and a wedding here about month
ago, but something happened to the
bride to be. She failed to appear on
the prescribed date. Mr.. Hough was
here, and after waiting for some time,
he returned to his Blakesburg farm,
and the correspondence was again TAX
en- up. Matters were successfully ar
ranged this time, and yesterday morn
ing the gentleman arrived in Ottumwa
and registered at the Ballingall hotel.
Presently buXom, rosy checked
maid, blushingly approached the hotel
desk, and after glancing over the reg
lister, nervously Transcribed her name
thereon. Mr.. Hough was sent for and
a council of war was held. This re-
suited in visit to the court house af-
ter a license, but the prospective
groom was unsuccessful in his efforts.
He could not find anyone to identify
the bride. Finally after desperate eff.
| forts had been made, all in vain, he re-
turned to the hotel and brought Miss
Mcintyre to the clerks Office. Upon
her appearance and after full ex-

It's debasing effect upon the home and
the enslavement of the workers have
become apparent. The perversion of
child life in the factory stirs our
wrath. Society, extending it's shelter
ing arms, now denies to parents a
property interest in the child or to
employers the right to convert it's pu-
ny strength into profit.
Formerly nothing was expected of
the employer but to provide the bare
means of employment, and the learn.
ed economists taught that anything
done to restrict the freedom to buy
labor in the open market like any in.
under any conditions would result in
anarchy. Now the social nature OF
production is being recognized. Bust

In explanation of the agreement
which was entered into, it was stated
that the matter will remain in exact

will be continued, though the company
will not recognize it in any way in

rained three days last week, remind
ing me wonderfully of Iowa. Up till
this time we had lovely weather You
may imagine what a relief it was on
arriving here March 20 to see the
green wheat fields and the peach or
chards in bloom. 1t is surprising that
any country could improve so much
in so short time. Only eight years
ago it was but barren prairie, the
homes of none but the Indians and
cowboys, but in the past few years it
has improved to such an extent that
its farms, cities and towns compare
with those of older states.
Rains are frequent throughout the
spring and summer months and there
has never been failure of crop from
lack of sufficient rain.
Anything can be raised. Corn, wheat,
oats, vegetables and as for fruit it is
right in it. Peaches, pears, plums and
sure a large crop.

According to the late dispatches
from Keokuk, J. D. Snearley, the al
legged bunko man who mulcted Farmer
Daugherty out of $1,000 in Ottumwa
last October, is wanted in that city.
Apparently Snearley, or Graham as
he is known in Keokuk, had a round
up with the officials of Keokuk but
got away from them. He was not
heard of by those people until his re.
cent capture in North Carolina, and
if they get a chance at him, they will
probably try him there for some OF
his alleged bunko work.
