The German WAS SO surprised he al-
most tainted. He looked at the dog q
moment and then asked:
What did you sayY'
The dog replied:
II said II ham sandwich"
Hans thought it wonderful that dog
should be able to talk and asked who
had trained him, how long 1t had taken
etc. and woun up with:
How much you take for himf"
"Oh," said Mr.. VentriloquiHt, II
wouldn't sell him at any price. but
am a little hard up now. and II you will

ator Arthur, having been a member
of the last special session of the state
Legislature. The senator is one of

During that time he has made Fort

agricultural cities in the West. At
present he is interested in the new
sugar factory which is to be erected
in his home city. 1--WE will have the

Miners Union Still
Continues Growing

The Miners Union is rapidly gaining
strength, as is evidenced from the
manner in which new members are be-
ing taken into the union.
At the meeting held last Monday
evening thirteen new members were
initiated, making the total membership
426. In addition to this, several appli-
cations for membership were received
and it will only be matter of a short
time until the 500 mark will be
reached
AT the present time there are en-
ployed in the mines of this district $40
union men. Those who do not belong
to the local union are members of the
Federation of Labor, and slowly but
surely they are coming into the local
body
This speaks volumes for the
strength of the union men of this
camp. The union is very young as yet,
and during the time it has been in ex-
istence it has seen a rapid growth. One

from all directions, and is surprised
at the growth that Idaho Springs has
made in the last few years. Idaho

town is model and l can see nothing
but prosperity facing you. 1t is true
that people in other sections and es-
pecially up my way, are firm in the
belief of this district as a mining sec
ton. When a mining section holds
its own for the number of years this
one has, you can depend upon it that
1t will not play out. 1 look for a
brighter future than ever in the his
tory of the section and it will not be
long arriving"

is that they are all level-headed, and
all the officers are men who are care
full and conservative. They never jump
at conclusions, but before making
move are always sure as to the results
which might follow. Mine owners have
had little cause for complaint since the
charter was obtained. All little differ
ences have been settled in a quiet and
peaceable manner, and nothing has
happened to mar the harmonious feel
ings which have always existed be-
tween the mine owners and members
of the union.

Hands.

Two Couples of This City Join Hearts and
Hands.
One of the prettiest weddings of the
season took place last Wednesday after
noon when Miss Grace Ann Freestone
was united in marriage to Charles
Thomas Mcdaniel. The wedding took
place at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Freestone, and only
relatives and near friends were present.
The ceremony was performed Rev. F. w.
Willman.
The bride was handsomely gowned and
carried roses. Miss Della Boutwell,, of
Denver, acted as bridesmaid and R. L.
Boutwell, looked after the interests of the
groom.
A wedding dinner was served after
which the happy couple left on the $50
train for Kansas City, where the parents
reside. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdaniel will be
at home to their friends after November l.
Mrs. Mcdaniel is one of the best known
young ladies in Idaho Springs. She was
born in Clear Creek county and her en-
tire life has been spent here. She is
charming and accomplished young lady,
and belongs to the smart set.
Mr.. McDaniels came to Idaho Springs
about two and half years ago and since
that time has had charge of the Colorado
Telephone exchange.
Among those from out of town who at
tended the wedding were Mr.. and Mrs.
c. W. Mcdaniel of Kansas City, parents
of the groom, and Professor and Mrs.
Frederick Schweikher of Denver.
Congratulations are extended
Edward c.. Strang, one of the best
known and most popular young men of
this city slipped off to Denver Wednesday
and on the following morning the an
nouncement appeared in morning paper
that he had been united in marriage to
Miss Jennie Ford, of Concord, N. H. The
ceremony was performed at seven O'Clock
in the evening.
The above announcement is the cul-
origin in Idaho Springs. About three
months ago the bride of today arrived in
this city in company with her mother and
since that time has resided here. She
met Mr.. Strang and it was case of love
at first sight. The marriage followed.
Sittings extends its congratulations and
wishes the happy couple a happy and
prosperous journey through life.
