SHOT AT GROOM.

A dispatch from Chicago says: With
bride and groom standing hand in hand
before him, yesterday, the clergyman pro-
nounced the admonitiOn "Those whom
God hath joined together, let no man
put asunder." The words were echoed
10 defiance by revolver shot, and the
groom jumped back as if hit. AS he
did so, another shot was fred land the
bullet, grazing his head, embedded it.
self in the wall. In the half open
doorway of the residence of R. II. Mar
shall, in Kenosha, was Earl Marshall,
the twenty-year-old brother of Miss
Nellie Marshall, the bride. In his hand
was a revolver, and as he fourished it
menacingly, the thirty members OF the
bridal party screamed and fed wildly
from the room, some of them seeking
safety in the back yard. Young Mar
shall surveyed the confusion for a mo-
ment, then put the revolver in his pock-
ct, and walked away. al said ais
ter should never marry that man,
and | meant to keep my word"
those nearest to him heard him exclaim.
AS soon as the men in the party had re-
covered their composure, it was found
that the shots fred by the youth had
gone wild. ]. W. Roberts, of Dudley,
Iowa, the groom, had escaped injury,
and aside from a scare, no harm was
done. A hurried search OF the neigh
borhood was made as an assurance
against another attack, and then the
guests re-assembled, while the clergy
man, Rev. w. w. Stevens, pronounced
the few remaining words ofthe ceremony.
As he finished, the bride, weak and
trembling, half threw herself, half fell,
into her husbands arms. The festivities
that had been planned to followed the
wedding we're eliminated from the pro-
gramme and the guests departed for
their homes. Ever since Miss MarshalPs
engagement to Mr.. Roberts was an
nounced, Earl Marshall had displayed
an aversion to bis sisters choice, and as
the day Of the ceremony drew near this
aversion is said to have taken on form
of unreasoning hatred.

Miss Kate Hutchison Morrissette Is on the staff of the Montgomery Evening Times the new afternoon daily published in that city. Mrs Morrissette assumes charge of the society department, and this is alone assurance that this depart ment of the Times will be conducted on broad and interesting lines. There Is no feature of the modern newspaper more essential than a well-eonducted society de- partment; not society in the conven- tional sense, as pointed out editorially by Mrs. Morrissette.
 Mrs. Morrssette in entering the news paper field is taking up work most con- genial to her tastes and for which she is magnifcently equipped. She is, too, one of the brilliant club leaders in the state and her work in club journals of the south and north has attracted wide atten- ton, and the readers of the Times may expect a society page that will be at once a brilliant and entertaining symposi- um upon current events of the day, liter ary matters and other subjects and in- deed if Mrs. Morrissette gives her talents and inclinations full sway her work on the Times will be in the nature of school of journalism.
 ',rhe word society at the head of this department is not merely conventional" '" writes Mrs Morrissette in what she calls a postscript" It Is also used in its sim pier sense of the association of individuals into community whose ends and aims are unified by common interests and com- mon sympathles.
 ''It is hoped that the good women of Montgomery will cooperate with the ed itor In making the columns servieeable to purposes which, in their ministry to life build the home and promote civic prosperity and happiness, The ladies are respectfully invited to help make the column interesting from day to day by communicating each, that share of news. conventional or sociological, she possesses so that every one shall receive the in- formation of all

Unreasonable, of Course.

The Recorder has a number of sub
scribers who are as good as gold, yet
are back OH their subscription. One
of them perhaps expressed the opin-
ion of all when he recently saic,
"You needn't be afraid of losing any
thing through me-; l can pay for all
the papers | order" We told him
that was all right and we had no
fears. The next mail brought US a
bill for paper we had bought. We
wrote to the wholesale house that they
needn't be afraid of losing anything
through us; that we were good for all
the paper we ordered We also told
them that we had several hundred
subscribers back of us who were las
good as gold" But what do you
think? That wholesale paper house
was unreasonable enough to want
their cash, and we had to hustle
around and send it to them. We told
our help and several other creditors
the same as our good subscriber told
us, and every mothers son of them
acted liked they thought we were
crazy, and wanted the cash. Most un-
reasonable lot of folks we ever heard
of !-Riceville Record.
