only with the death notices did the fact
come out that for the past Ii years

Loving Couple Attempted to Get
Married Beyond Bar On
High Seas.
FINALLY WE'D IN THE CITY
Two Loving Hearts Now Beat as
One-Which One Being Left
for Them to Decide I'm
the Future.

Enthused with the spirit OF the good.
old summer time. and Influenced by
loves young 90 dream, two worship
ing hearts walked into the presence OF
the Rev. L. J. Trumbull at the occident
hotel and departed as one. leaving the
reverend gentleman smiling as he de-
posted the fee In his purse. The affair
took place yesterday evening on tho
stroke OF 6.
Edward Il. Watts OF Nez Perces
county. Idaho, and Mrs. Hattie z
Parker Of Melrose were the contracting
couple. They arrived at Astoria from
Portland yesterday morning on the
boat. and Immediately took the steamer
for Ilwaco. Later In the day they
boarded the Nahcotta and began the
return trip TO Astoria.
on the way over Watts approached
Captain Parker and asked whether he
cared TO make an honest dollar.
Always" answered the captain.
There is a lady on the boat whom
I desire TO marry" said Watts. we
would like to be married out on the
sea over the bar. Can you take us
out there?"
Captain Parker explained that he
had no license to cross the bar and
was extremely sorry that he could not
do so. The captain was thinking OF
the honest dollar. However, he d.
rected the couple to the court house and
told them they could there find a H.
cense, and that there were several
ministers In Astoria, besides a justice
OF the peace and Judge or two. The
blushing couple thanked the captain
and followed his directions to the let
ter. The license was obtained. a Jour-
ney was made to the occident. Rev.
Trumbull was called and the pair de-
parted to live happily ever after. Ac-
cordlng TO an axiom OF literature they
now are one--whlch one will be left for
hem to decide.

Extract From an Address Delivered by
 (. W. Post at Columbus, Today.

Columbus, Ohio, January 29- "How 10 Make q Halo," Is the subject of an address by C. W. Post, president of the Association of the American Advertisers, be- fore the Buckeye Press Association today. He said in part:
 A halo is manufactured article largely produced by newspapers, It is worn by men and women and and also used to decorate some ar ticles of commerce. It is construct ed of an intangible sort of sub stance, somewhat misty. and the lines not always clearly defined. Some men secure them at q low price and some have halos thrust upon them Many men are in pos session of halos that they do not esteem at the real worth of the ar ticle. Some men part with their halos without due reeompense. Ad- miral Dewey had very large, handsome, well constructed and apparently durable halo and wore 1t for q time gracefully, and then gave at least half of 1t away with q house and lot.
 The art of making halos is not thoroughly understood by all news paper publishers nor by merchants as q class Most every merchant seeks halo, not alone for himself but for the articles he has to sell, and yet it is only now and then q merchant knows how to construct halo and secure the good from it.
 Suppose merchant has large stock of cloaks, if he is an expert in the manufacturing of halos to decorate these cloaks with, he is very sure to create demand and make money by decorating his cloaks with the halos. The same is true of shoe merchants. candy manufacturers, dealers in farm ma chinery, etc. When farmer is ready to purchase blow he near ly always buys blow that he sees through halo. Some one, or per

DEAR SrRs:-I am a candidate for the office of Tax Assessor of Drew county, subject to the ac- ton of the Democratic primary. 1 would be glad if the primary were later so that 1 could make a thorough canvass of the coun- ty, but 1t is to be so very early that it will be impossible.
 While l would be very glad to see every voter in the county and talk to him personally, am forced to take this method of in- forming the people who l am and what 1 want.
 My friends, l have not q quarter, nor a half century, nor a lifetime lived in Drew county ot which to boast, as doubtless some ot my opponents will have; nor do deem that quali6ea- tion for the office to which I as pire. l am laboring man; a farmer; have lived that humble lie ftty-two years, and was reared by Democratic parents For the past fourteen years have resided in Drew county, of which l am proud.
 My acquaintance is limited, but those who know me best are my warmest friends. 1 have never done any great thing Ill nor for our county to boast of. l have tried to do my duty as an humble citizen, attending strict ly to my own business. With firmness, l have always con end ed for equal rights to all and special privileges to none.
 feel thatI am fully qualified to fill the office and shall make the race upon my merits, strict ly, and the people are to be the l judges. To those who know me, 1 have only to say that I am perfectly willing to abide by your decision; to those who do not know me, 1 can only refer you to those who do. Should fail to see you in what little can vassing 1 do, please do not con- slider it an intentional oversight. 1 hope to meet you all in the public campaign.
 If elected, 1 shall endeavor so to act that may merit the es- teem of everyone, and that no voter may regret the vote he casts for me.
