Kept Secret for Two Months.

Captain W. c. Barnhardt aud Miss
Katherine Hays were married in this
city August 2Oth. For some reason
they chose to keep the marriage secret
for a while, aud perhaps would have
kept it longer if the serious illness Of
Captain Barnhardt at Guthrie, Okla
homa, had not made it necessary for
Mrs. Barnhard5 to 60 to him. She
left Thursday afternoon for Guthrie,
1t seems that the marriage has been
known all along by number Of inti-
maUe friends oil both Mr.. and Mrs.
Barrhardt but they kept the secret
remarkably we'll. The ceremony was
performed at the Christian church
parsonage, Rev. Briney officiating.
Captain and Mrs. Barnhardt will
make their home 10 Guthrie Captain
Barnhardt is secretary of the Okla
homa Worlds Fair commission and is
also director of the educational
exhibit of the territory.

Season Opened.

The opening of the foot ball season
here Saturday with game between
Sedala High school and W. M. A.,
was not very encouraging to the
management. Only a small crowd
was present and as it is very expen-
sive to bring team here the game
was money loser.
W. M. A. kicked off to Sedalia at
O'Clock and it only took one and half
minutes for Wentworth to make the
first touchdown and the second was
made 10 two minutes. The fnal
score, which was 33 to 0, gives the
relative strength Of the two teams.
Sedalia was extremely weak on the
defensive and until the latter part of
the last half were unable to carry the
ball any distance. Mel Ilgenfritz
made three trials for goal from the
field, but failed in every attempt.
Considering that it is early in the
season and most of the material new
W. M. A. made a very creditable
showing. The boys showed plenty of
spirit and some of their work was
especially good.

River Water Now.

On Monday Gustav Haerle took a
party consisting Of City Clerk Fegert,
Frank Bowman, W. Williams and
e. n Hopkins over the line Of the
waterworks improvement, which is
now nearly complete About a mile
of new twelve inch pipe has been laid
in a northwesterly direction from the
pump house to the main channel of
the river where it runs deep against
the south bank. The pipe to the old
wells has been taken out and the
wells plugged up. Since Saturday
the pumping has been entirely from
the river, and hereafter none but
channel river water can be had.
At the river an anchored Ouoy sus-
pends the pipe from the bank so that
the water is not taken from the
bottom of the river but three or four
feet below the surface at point
where the water is twenty feet deep.
A section of heavy rubber tubing
makes 1t possible to raise or lower the
mouth of the intake pipe without
affecting the joints. A force Of hands
is engaged in covering the trench in
which the pipe is laid and by the end
of the week the entire work will be
finished.
AT the power house the new smoke
stack, octogonal in shape upon a
square base IL by II feet, has reached
a height Of IA feet above the ground
SO feet including the foundation.
When completed the total height will
be lO2 feet. These improvement;
together with the water heater com
pleted some time ago are all that
will be attempted before spring, wher

MilIionaire's Poor Stomach.

The worn out stomach Of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as a horrible example Of
the evils attendant on the possession
of great wealth. But millionaires
are not the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The proportion
is far greater among the toilers.
Dyspepsia and indigestion are ram

suffer far worse tortures than the
