Married.

Wednesday, at the home of the
bride west of town, Charlie Ross and
Anna Schroeder.
We need not paint with vivid fan
cy their home, their joys, their hopes
of the future, for those who know
them know the bond of love between
them aud the ties of sympathy they
have for their fellow creatures, which
always gets back a responive feeling.
The groom is a hard working young
man, fearless Of the trials of life be-
fore him and strong and able to meet
the onslaught of life in manner
that will insure success.
The bride is one whom the world
loves to meet, and when clouds dark
and stormy seem to hover over him,
who is her lifes companion will point
with loving, hopeful trust to the sill
yer lining caused by the sun of for
getfulness of self and ones trials and
struggling on and on.
They have nice little home in Au-
dubon already for occupancy and will
in the future keep open doors to there
friends.

A Mother Gone.

Mrs. James futon died. Tuesday
night, of diptheria, at her home. We
did learn thu particulars of her bu-
rial.
Thus has the dearest and most
sacred part of home gone, Mother, the
counsellor of the father and husband,
the guardian and the guide of the lit
tie flock, without whom they are
worse than sheep without he master.
The husband will miss those tender
ministrations and comfort, that make
home sweet and pure. No kiss to still
the pain of throbbing temple or
bruise of the loving child. A spirit
born of meekness and love has been
called by the Father, and the orphans
left to the care of cold world, and
only in remembrance will they know
again the loved touch, while out in
the cemetery growing green with
passing seasons, will rest the cold
hands and pulseless heart, that loved
and cared for them reaching out from
her home beyond, striving to lead
them in the paths of right and peace
and hope.

What Eortx Poles Make.

A good story is told about a certain
professor whose business it was to lee
ture to q number of students on sur
yeying. During one Of the lectures, the
professor said that in his opinion the
pole was Of little or no value. TO the
establishment of those present a Polish
gentleman arose and, after accusing
the professor of insulting his country
men, demanded an apology.
The professor thereupon explained
that the pole to which he referred was
merely term of measurement. The
Polish gentleman, seeing his mistake,
asked the professor to forgive his ap-
parent rudeness. To this the professor
smartly replied:
You could not be rude sir, even if
you tried. for it takes 40 les to make
one roodH'

General Greene.s Discipline.

General Francis Vinton Greene was
one of the strictest disciplinarians in
all the army that went out to fight
Spain. He was in command of the Sew
enty-first regiment, n. G. N. Y, at
Camp Black, near Hampstead, n. Y.
AS the regiment was breaking camp
on the way to the front an old gentle
man interrupted General Greene, who
was talking with the writer.
Sir" he said, will you grant brief
leave of absence to Mr.. Blank, a pri-
vate in this regiment? He is a son of
the late Colonel Blank of the army
His mother is dying, and she is asking
for her boy. He will join his command
at Tampa"
81 am very sorry, SIR" replied Gen
eraI Greene, "but it will be impossible
10 deviate in any case from the rule
by which we are all bound. My own
father lies dying at home, yet L cannot
go to him."
And General Greene, as a matter OF
fact, did not for many weeks see his
father, who died before the Spanish
war was ended.

TROUBLE OVER A DECREE.
President To BE Honored by Harvard in
spite of Protests. -


Boston, April 30-President McKin
lev Will receive the honorary degree
of Ii. ID. at the hands of Harvard
university at the coming commence
ment. in spite of the eoffrts of certain
graduates TO prevent it. The matter
was considered by the board of over
seers. which was unanimous in its de-
sire TO give the degree. The invita-
tion to President Mckinley to attend
the commencement was not extended
by Senator HOar personally. as APP
pears to be the general understanding,
but was given by the corporation.
Formal action comforting the degree
will not be taken until the meeting
Just before commencement. according
to the usual custom. The overseerS
are so strongly in accord upon this
matter that there will he no change in
their position before that time. Adj
ditional protests Will be unaVailing
The overseers, while elected by grad
yates, are the legislative body of the
university. and the beStowal of de-
grees rests entirely with them. 1t is
felt that Harvard already has suffered
by the wide publicity given the pro-
tests. and the overseers wish to have
the matter dropped as soon as pos
sible.
1t is not likely that much more
headway viii be made in securing pro
tests in view of the fact that they
would be unaYailing. Some of the over
seers think too much importance has
been attached to the petition in OPP
position. and in looking over the list
of honorary degrees formerly con-
ferred by Harvard have found plenty
of precedents for the present case.

II is not definitely known how the
gas ignited. but it seems probable that
some of the men fired a shot that shot
firers had not fired. The Shot-firers
enter the mine in the evening after
the miners leave. and fire all the
shots Or blasts that the miners have
prepared. Sometimes shots are not
well prepared and the shOt-firers re-
fuse TO fire them. Occasionally in
these cases the men afterward fire the
shots themselves, although this is
against the rules of the mine.

DIcKER FOR THE REED RAKE-oFF
Onicer of the Navy Who Has n Peculiar
Idea of Honor.

Lieutenant Richard II. Towniey of
the navy, testified that as the result
of conference with Captain Reed he
went to see Castle Brothers. contract
orS. who supply the commisScEy de
partment with vegetables. etc. and
wanted them to give Captain Reed
$1,000 and 10 per cent. commission on
all sales. Castle Brothers demurred
to this proposition. Lieutenant Town
ley again went to Castle Brothers and
this time only asked them for $1,000.
Castle Brothers were reluctant 10 hand
over this sum. and Lieutenant Town
ley explained that Captain Reed was
in a position to advance the interests
of the firm, and that ii would be ad-
vantageOus to Castle Brothers to
Oblige him. Lieutenant Townley tes-
titled that he further explained TO Cas-
tie Brothers that Captain Reed might
allow them the use of government
lighters. and possibly be less rigid in
the inspection of goods purchased.
Lieutenant Townley said that he
thought Captain Reed was doing a no
bic thing in attempting TO protect the
character of a brother officer. he also
said that such transactions were not
customary i'll the navy. When cross
questioned. Lieutenant Townley said,
rather sheepishly, that he was not so
sure he was doing right in taking the
witness chair.
Colonel Charles 4. Woodruff. chief
of the subsistence department in Ma
Lila. explained the circumstances of
Captain Reeds appointment and de-
scribed the duties of the depot COM
missary Not knowing whether the
accounts of Major Davis were correct
or not. Colonel Woodruff explained
on Dec 30 Castle Brothers aroused his
suspicion by intimating that money
was ching collected by an officer of the
commissary department. Later Col
onel Woodruff sent fols Captain Reed.
who admitted receiving rebates for the
purpose of covering the delinquincies
of Major Davis. The testimony of
Colonel Woodruff was unfinished.

BuryinE Ground.

Red Bud. Ills. April 3O.-George +.
Wilson. while excavating for a foun-
dation for his barn last Thursday, on
lis farm near Ellis Grove. Ills, noticed
several bones sticking out of the sides
of the trench He dug them out. and
in doing so discovered such a large
number of human skeletons that it is
supposed he must have found an In
dian burying ground. Large numbers
of stone hatchets, spear heads and ar
row heads were found. besides a num-
Der of rudely fashioned iron rings and
bracelets.
All the skeletons We're of males. and
some of the skulls were crushed in, as
though with a club, while others had
very lareg holes through them, as if
they had been penetrated by bullet
of large size. The supposition is that
the skeletons are those of the HurOns
killed in the raid made by them on
the French settlements in Illinois in
1896
