EMBARKED
On the Sea of Matrimony, Rev. Arbuth-
not Showing the Canoe from Shore
to Sail Smooth Sea.

Mr.. Wheeler Wetzel, of Wallace, and
Miss Iva Hess, of Wyatt, embarked ut
. o'clock Thursday night on the sea of
matrimony. The Rev. S. X. Arbuthnot
showed the canoe off the shore and start
ed them merrily sailing on the delightful
journey. They are pleasant young
couple, such as will find connubial bliss
heaven itself, and their friends, who are
legion, confidently expect there will be
no breakers ahead and that smooth
sailing will ever be their lot. 1t is srs-
pected from the circumstances that a
special feature of the romance was an
elcpement. They appear to have come
here without the knowledge of their rel
atives or friends. and were made one be-
fore the word could get out rs to their
intentions. but ifthcrc were parental OBJ

and the usual blessings. after it is be-

Bran-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculou. food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish particular part of the body. but it
will sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever, good your food may be, its nutri-
mcnt is destroyed by Indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their APP
pearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids di-
gestion. stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood. and makes kou
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at Geo. C. Stones.

"rhe Volunteer oraanist."

1.-The Volunteer Organist,' the pastoral
drama about which there has been con-
siderable anticipatory interest, will be
produced in this city at the Opera House,
next Wednesday night. Sept. 8.
The piece in way is a temperance les
son. 1t is also a lucid exposition of some
Of the higher traits. in humankind as con-
trasted to the sinister tendencies COM
mon in every community.
The personalities are mostly reasonable.
The chief scene discloseS the interior of q
church, with the volunteer organist seated
at his instrument. while the sweet. ring
ing voice of a boy singer is heard in the
powerful melody of The Holy City
The regular organist of the church has
declined to act because the daughter of a
tavern-keeper sings in the choir. The fact
that the minister of the place loves the
same daughter, and thus arouses the I'M
compromising dislike of members of his
flock appears prominently in the develop
ment of the plot.
1t is a highly entertaining performance.

such dramas as Way Down East" THE

surely delight in witnessing

melodrama, dealing with life in San

OF love, crime and comedy that such
plays always have. Its handling by
the company seemed to please the au-
dience. The specialties We're as en-
Joyable as on the preceding nights.

The title is too flippant a label for the

though to judge from the success of the

ment has any serious intentions of
calling it by any other name.
The piece really contains a we'll de-
fined plot. Two men have the misfor-
tune to be named Bill" and ludicrous
mix-ups are scented at once. The
scenes are we'll devised and the dia-
logue is sprinkled with good wit The
acting is spirited and the cast is made
up of some of the best farceurs that
will appear here, this season.
