Wedding Bells.

Last week we chronicled the wed
ding of Paul Cochran and Evs
Smith, but owing to the event tax.
ing place at the time we were print.
ing the paper we could not furnish
any details. However we happened
to get round in time to take a few
notes, offer congratulations etc.
The wedding was very quiet and
held at the home of Mrs. Black, no
one being present but the above
mentioned family. The room in
which the ceremony was performed
was beautifully decorated with pink
carnations and a large bank of As
paragus, Sprengeri and Plumosus.
The happy couple entered to the
strains of Mendelssohn Wedding
march and Rev. Stamper speedily
joined them in Holy Matrimony.
After the ceremony all partook of a
sumptuous feast prepared as only
Mrs. Black knows how, and shortly
after this the bride and groom board
ed the train for Dodge City, accom-
panied by gentle showers of rice and
other seasonable articles.
Of course you want to know how
the bride was dressed, well, not be-
ing girl cannot givethe technical
terms for the different parts, but will
go ahead and tell you how it looked.
She had the prettiest kind of cream
colored dress mode of Milanese silk,
(we knowthat's right because we ask
ed, trimmed with all kinds of lace
and fluffy things, she had a train,
plenty long enough to trip up an
awkward man, but not long enough
to need pail bearers, Oh no, we
mean Pages; a beautiful spray of
pink and white carnations completed |
the picture. Now we think that
you will know all about it, Oh no.
there's her hair. Well, that was
dressed perfectly, for we never
noticed how it was done, but if it
had not harmonized entirely with
the balance of the picture, we would
certainly have discovered the fact.
The groom was dressed just as he
should have been, but whenever we
would glance at him with the inten-
ton of taking an inventory of his
he would turn on US such
a happy smile, a regular "annual
one," that We could think of nothing
so base as clothes.
Itis the most sincere wish of the
News that this smile may never
grow less.

An Open Well.

An incident which occurred one
day last week should be warning to
every body to fill up all open wells
outside of in enclosure.
Last Friday little Annie Busing
was playing on vacant lot in the
south part of town when she noticed
an old open well and though she
would look into it. She did so and
discovered a two-year-old steer
which was almost dead from star
vation. From all indications it is
evident that the animal had been in
the well about three weeks, it prob
ably having fell in during the deep
snow. How it managed to live
three weeks without food or water is
beyond power of comprehension.
Claude Blanchard and Hiram
and Harry Peckham managed to pull
the animal out of the well but 1t was
SO crippled from having remained in
a cramped position so long that it
died
There are many just such wells as
this in the county and they are very
dangerous Not only are stock like
ly to fall into them and perish but
persons who nde over the prairie.
and especially in winter time when
the wells are concealed by snow, are
in danger of riding into them and
sustaining serious injury if not more
fatal results Let's fill 'er up

New York, Oct. 2S.-The trial of
Sam Parks, walking delegate of the
Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Unions,
on the charge of extortion of $500 for
calling off strike, opened ir earnest
today. Parks was very irritable. The
testimony of the first witness consumed
the entire morning session. He was
Benjamin Thackera. He said that in
December last he was employed by the
Tiffany Studio Company as outside SUI
perintendent. AT that time his firm
was engaged in the construction of two
buildings and eight members of the
Housesmiths' Union were employed on
them. On December 81 the men failed
to report for work. He questioned
them and ascertained that they had
been called out by their union.
He reported the matter to the Tiffany
Studio Company, and was directed by
them to go to the headquarters of the
Housesmiths' Union. There he was
directed to meet Parks in a Third ave-
nue. saloon at 2 p. m. Witness called
on Parks at the appointed time, and ask
ed him the cause of the trouble. Parks
said, the witness swore, FYou are fined
$500" "What for2" asked the witness.
''Now don't ask too many questions,
young man," Parks replied. eff you
have power to do business I'll talk with
you. If you have not, tell Tiffany to
come up here. If he does not want to come
he can go to hell, and so can Jerome. "
As the result Of other conversations, the
witness again called on Parks, at bis
home on January End last and paid him
$500, in cash. Parks, witness said, re-
fused check for the amount, declaring
he only did business on a cash basis.
The witness declared that the b., Tiffany
Studio company experienced no more
trouble with their men after the pay
ment. James w. Osborne, counsel for
Parks, cross examined the witness, but
failed to shake his testimony.

New York Stock Market.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The stock market
opened fairly active and generally higher.
Dispatches from st. Louis received before the
opening were all reassuring as to the situation
there, and as a consequence the market open
ed generally higher and developed more
strength through the first hour. Traders who
put out shorts yesterday afternoon on the first
unfayorable rumors were inclined TO take
them back and the bull pools renewed their
activity in several directions. Missouri Pa
cifc was prominent in the recovery, also the
Wabash issues. Pennsylvania and New York
Central rose nearly point; ). d. l.. d w.
sold up nearly four per cent. The weak spots
were Car Foundry, the common losing and

Pressed steel car p. After the. first hour
business fell away and il eased OF trife.
Speculative sentiments naturally shows q
slight hesitation with disposition to wait for
more definite advices from ST. Louis.

Philadelphia, Oct. 2S.-The Girard
Avenue theatre was almost totally de-
stroyed by fire this morning. "The Min
ster's Daughter" a melodrama, was
being presented this week. All the cos
tunes and scenery were burned. Two
bremen we're badly hurt. The loss is
estimated at 800, 600, and there is no
insurance. There was great excitement
in the Girard Hotel, adjoining the thea
ire, and Requests fled from their rooms.
The hotel was not damaged, however.
The origin of the fire is not known. One
theory is that quantity of flash powder
used in the play became ignited during
last night performance and smouldered.
The theatre walls are standing but the
interior is Quilted. 1t will be reconstruct
