A Marriage In Persia.

Before dinner is served the bride
goes to the bath accompanied by fe-
male relatives and friends. At night
as the procession of the bridegroom
approaches aims are distributed, and
women and children look on from
neighboring roofs. Loud cries from
the women welcome the bridegroom
on his arrival, while the bride, care
fully yelled, mounts the horse await
ing her at the door. All the men who
have been feasted and entertained join
In the procession, in which lanterns
are borne. The brides departure is the
signal for the discharge of fireworks
and great beating of the big drum.
The final ceremony is similar 20 one
observed by the Arabs and the Copts-
namely, the sacrifice OF sheep. These
are killed as the bride steps over the
threshold of her new home.
One wonders what the idea is under
Wing the sacrifices. Are they intended
as acts of propltiation inherited from
an earlier age. when people thus en-
deavored "to appease the anger of the
gods" or of the spirits Of their an
eestors? Or is it merely way of seal.

Ice House at Loon Lake DESTROYED
by Fire Sunday EntaiIing Large
Loss to Owners.
LOSS IS ESTIMATED AT $4,000.
Fire Spreads to the Railway Tracks of the
Wisconsin Central and Number of
Cars of Coal are Destroyed.

Sunday night about nine O'Clock the
| large ice house owned by Esch Bros.
| and Rabe, at Loon Lake, near the Hi
nois State line, was totally destroyed
by fire, entsiling a loss upon the com
pany of some $4,000.
The house was built about a year ago
and was large, modern constructed
ice plant with all the latest improve
n1ents consisting of an electric light
ing plant and equipments for the rapid
handling of ice.
The house at the time of the fire was
partially filled with ice, several rooms,
however, being empty.
In addition to the loss of the ice
house eight cars belonging to the Wis
consin Central railroad, were burned,
five of them being loaded with coal,
which will make the total fire loss full.
1y $50, 900.
The fire is supposed to have had it's
origin from a spark from the engine
falling among some wild hay stacked
near the ice house. This is the second
ice house that Messrs. Esch Bros. and
Rabe have lost within the past six
months, large ice house belonging
to the company near Crystal lake hav-
ing been burned by lightning during
the past summer.

Republican Candidates and Managers
See Every Prospect of Success
in the County.
ALL TOWNS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC.
Stories Circulated by Opposition to Iniure
Candidates Only Gaining Votes For
the Republican Party.

| The Republican candidates and sew
eral of the n1emb ers of the county
committee got together Tuesday even
| ing to talk over the outlook for the
campaign and the report from every
| part OF the county is very encouraging
| All the towns are enthusiastic and the
| members Of the committee report that
| the outlook is better than ever before.
The Democratic candidates and their
friends are making hard fight in the
different parts of the county but the
fight is not the one that is destined to
insure any confidence. All sorts of
foolish stories are being circulated in
regard to the Republican candidates,
but these stories are simply aiding the
Republicans to secure votes.
One of the foolish stories that has
been started by the opposition is in re-
gard to Henry Timme. the Republican
candidate for sheriff. All over the
county it has been stated that should
Mr.. Timme be elected he will at once
ask for an increase in the salary of the
office of sheriff. This campaign lie is
promptly denied by Mr.. Timme and he
declared this morning that if he was
elected to the Office of sheriff he would
pledge himself to accept it with the
salary that is now being paid. Many
stories similar to this are being circu-
lated and the voters can take them
with large grain of salt. Ali the
RRn,1h1fCo ~ nHSdo+oc -
office before and their years of faithful
service speak great deal louder than
the assaults of desperate opposition.
The outlook is exceedingly bright
and there seems to be little doubt but
that the entire Republican ticket will
be elected by majorities ranging any
where from five to thirteen hundred.
From trips about the county it seems
that there will be little cutting on the
state ticket, but the friends of the
governor declare that there will be
sufficient Democratic votes cast for
him to make up for all the defections
in the ranks of the Republicans.
This cutting of the state ticket will
not in any way hurt the county and
Legislative candidates, as there is no
fight among the Republicans of the
county and every man can be counted
on to vote the straight ticket.
The final report of the registration
boards in the different wards is also
encouraging and it gives assurance
that a full vote will be out on Tuesday.
In some of the wards the registration
is great deal larger than ever before
and in none of the wards has the num-
Der of voters fallen below the last reg
istration. This is another indication
of Republican success and full vote
-on Tuesday is all that is needed to in
sure the triumph and return of the
Republican officials for another term
of service. gts

Williams {

Representative Williams OF
Mississippi gave practical H.
Illustration the other afternoon of
the truth of an old story, says
the Washington Post. 1t is a
legend in theatrical circles that
once upon a time super in Il
Roman mob fell fainting from
hunger just as Virginius sta obed
his daughter to save her honor.
Angry that the scene had been
spoiled by the unexpected col
lapse of the super, the tragedian
called the man to him and
demanded an explanation. Il
was so overcome by your mag
niticent acting" said the super,
unwilling to confess his hunger,
that l fainted.' ThereupOn the
happy and appreciative tragedian
gave him $40. The next night,
when Virginius raised his dag
ger, all the SuperS Immediately
fell to the floor. So much for
the dramtic tradition. Now, the
other night, while Representative
Williams was eating his dinner
in a restaurant, there entered a
newsboy who had a plaintive tale
of liability to sell his papers.
One man at the table gave him
car ticket, another gave him a
dime. but Mr.. Williams, who was
feeling good over his Philippine
speech in the House, gave the
boy dollar and told him to go
home. The boy hurried off, but
presently the restaurant filled
with newsboys. They seemed
to spring out of the earth, and
they all had some Sorrowful story
to pour into Mr.. Williams ear.
Williams looked over the assem-
bled throng. "Boys,' he said
Il am sorry for all of you, but you
don't get a cent unless you can
get that other boy to divide.
Representative Dalzell was sit
ting glOomily in a corner of the

You were in much distress. II

Wears ago President Mckinley

be driven to Il hall, where we
were both announced to speak.
Mr.. Mckinley sat calmly

THE CHURCH AND EDU
ca TON

The church that through its
ministry, and especially in the
country, which is always the
hope of the nation, lays the hand
of encouragement and benedic-
ton on the public schools, sees
that they are improved where
they already exist, secs that they
are established where they are
not, and teaches the people that
they can make no richer invest
menJ than in the education of
their youth, that no taxes should
be more cheerfully paid than
those which go to the education
of the children and that no sacri-
fees are too great that this end
be reached, namely, a thorough
education for every child in this
broad land-that is the church
of the years to by
terian Standard.
The foregoing words from the
Standard are well
spoken. We may not agree in
matters that are purely dog
matte. The Interpretation of
the bible by the different creeds
leads inevitably to a wide diver
gence of opinion, but far above
sectarianism stands the great
