Williams, Arlz.
 Invitations have been received here this week to the wedding, on March 25, of MT. A. A. Coupland to Miss Abbie Elvira, daughter of Rev. Doctor and Mrs. Henry N. Bennett, at Anderson, Indiana. Miss Bennett is a niece of Mrs. H. F. Adams, while Fred is we'll known here.
 The entertainment, under the management of Mesdames Pleas ants and Arey, at the church last Saturday evening, was attended by a large and appreciative audience. With but one or two exceptions the numbers on the program were we'll rendered and received, the cause of failure in these being due to unforeseen reasons. Taken as a whole, however, the entertainment was much enjoyed.
 Embroideries, faces, white goods in endless varieties, M. SALzMAN.

 At conference on March 1 at Topeka between the officials of the Santa Fe Railway company and officers of the railway men, set clement was reached. Freight men are to receive an increase of fifteen per cent, and passenger men twelve per cent. A compromise has been made on double-headers whereby the road retains double-headers on some parts of the system and abolishes them on others. The agreement covers the coast lines of the Santa Fe system only.
 LADIEs!-We have received our full lines of samples for tailor made suits; a perfect fit guaranteed, and at eastern prices. Nj. SALzMAN.
 It is no uncommon occurrence to hear of one train running into the rear end of another on a down grade, and it is easily explained but the freight wreck which oc- cured at Davenport, seven miles east of here, last Monday, occurred on an upgrade. From reports, the first "34" was rolling along serenely when the second "34," which, evidently, was following too closely, crashed into the caboose, completely telescoping it and de- railing another car. It is miracu- lous how the conductor, who was sitting in the caboose, escaped with only a few scratches. Traffic was suspended for several hours while the track was being cleared.
 FOR SALE CHEAP-Good Singer sewing machine. Inquire at this office.
 A certain well-known citizen made a visit to the schools. the other day, and seemed greatly inn pressed with the high-class work being carried on in all the rooms. While conversing with a friend, he made the remark that he would like to attend the school, for year or two, himself, as he believed he was not yet too old to derive great benefit from the instruction given. The friend, of course, thought his desire was to enter room taught by one of the three charming lady teachers, and has been keeping his eye on the aforesaid well-known citizen ever since. We must say, however, that the latter was sincere in his remarks and, of course, re- ferred to the principals room.
