Holland Hughes.

On Jan. 18th, 1903, at the home OF
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
j. Hughes, Mr.. R. 81. Holland and
Miss Daisy Hughes we're united in
the holy bonds Of matrimony, the
writer tying the nuptial knot.
Just as the clock tolled the hour Of
z p. M, keeping step to the wedding
march, played by Miss Hattie Perry,
the writer entered the room, followed
by the happy couple, where they
promised to take each other for we'll
or woe.
The bride wore brown cloth dress,
trimmed in velvet to match, with a
beautiful white bow at the back oil
the neck, and her hair dressed very
exquisitely.
The groom was attired in a closely
fitting black suit, and is one OF Yer
non county's most prosperous and
energetic young men, and we coun,
him thrice lucky in winning such Q
jewel.
May prosperity, happiness and al
other great blessings attend them or
the matrimonial sea. Mrs. Hughel
had prepared a most excellent sup
per OF which all partook freely, ant
at q late hour the crowd dispersed
feeling it was good to be there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Holland left on tn
noon train at Butler on the 9th inst
for Sheldon, Vernon county, thei
i future home. W. B. MoReAN.

SUBMARINE BOAT TESTED.
vel, and Away Ahead of the HOI-
land Type of Boats.

Submarine boat Al, the joint in
vention of Viekers Sons & Maxim
and the English admiralty, has been
tested in deep-sea experiments IN the
Irish sea. After several days speed
trials at Barrow docks, the vessel was
towed out before daylight to abous
i've miles from Walny island. Large
casks with flags were laid down for
a long course and soundings were
taken for several miles in the vicinity.
A heavy sea was running and there
was a thick mist. +.
The boat was quickly submerged
and travelled several miles without
returning to the surface for some
hours. A depth of from ten to Is
feet was obtained. Maneuvers in
and out the flag marks were made.
the vessel answering her rudder with
great rapidity in whichever direction
1t was desired to go. She was brought
promptly to the surface on several
occasions and was submerged with
equal rapidity.
The surface trials were then run,
and the speed showed considerable
improvement over boats of the Hol-
land type. The naval authorities
maintain the utmost reticence, maxi
ing II impossible to obtain accurate
details, but at large the Al is con-
sidered a great improvement over the
Holland type. 1t is believed that the
Az, Az and IA, which are now build
ing. will be more formidable than
any with which trials have been made
by foreign powers.
The Al returned to Barrow after
dark. 1t is believed she will be fit
ted with a new petrol engine for the
purpose of charging her electric bat
teries and propelling her to the sur
face with greater speed than has
hitherto been obtained.

ding Has DEMONSTRATED
Dress.

they were a few years ago when the
bride seldom wore anything in the
way of jewels. AT a fashionable we'd
ding in London the other day the
brides dress was entirely veiled with
rare old lace. and as she walked up
the long pathway to the door the
dim afternoon light turned the front
OF her dress into a perfect blaze oil
diamonds.
In the lace at her neck was an
enormous diamond spray. Her neck
lace and the pendants and brooches
on her corsage were of unusual orh-
lance, while. her chaplet of orange
flowers was fastened with DIAMOND
and ruby brooch.

The Missouri Mule.

A muscled structure as strong as steel,
As quick as lightning with vengeful heel,
A bundle of cussedness wrapped in skin
OF toughness to hold the cussedness in,
A voice that sounds like an echoing wall
From the pits of sheol; shaven tall
That rises and falls In forceful way
As an automatic handle at play
To pump that voice when the crtter tries
To rip the seams in the trembling skies
He-Iawl He-Haw
He-Haw! He-Haw
Comes the song of the animal, rough and IA"
And the echoes quake as in mortal fear
And seem all tangled and out Of gear
As they re forced to grapple and speed along
The notes of that dead-awakening song,
He-Haw! He-Haw He-Haw

The election at Weston yesterday
resulted IN a victory FOR the RepubIi-
can candidate, though he was nomin-
ally Democrat. The Republicans
had named DR.. John I. warder for the
ONCE. He isa son-in.law of the Hon.
Henry Brannon, of the supreme court
of appeals, and his election is veto
ry for that element of the towns
population who are in accord with the
views of the court of appeals which
decided a few years ago that the
mayor Of the town was right ia his
contentious relative to the question Of
opening the streets where citizens
were alleged to have encroached upon
them.
Dr. Warder was elected by majori-
ty.of II. The majority in the First
ward, the portion of the town in which
the hospital for the insane is located,
gave him majority of thirty, and it
vas impossible for the other: there
wards to overcome this majority,
Though DR.. warder has been allied
heretofore with the Democratic party,
he has been voting for several elections
with the Republicans, and his support
yesterday mostly came from the Re
publicans with whom he is very popu-
lar.
