Marriage of Mr.. Robert Johnston and
Miss Blanche Jennings.

The many Manchester friends of
our former towns-boy, Robert John
ston, and Miss Blanche Jennings
were pleased to hear of their marri-
age last Wednesday. Mr. Johnston
was for number of years Clerk at
the Clarence House and he has
proven himself whole souled fellow
and capable business gentleman.
The Independence Bulletin Jour
nal said Of the marriage, bride, and

Blanche Jennings will be pleased to
learn of her marriage, which occur
ed yesterday at Chicago, where Miss
Jennings has been for the past two

Johnston formerly of Manchester,
but now one Of the proprietors ofthe
Logan House at Waterloo. Prior to
her residence in Chicago Miss Jenn-
ings was engaged as stenographer
in the law Office of Mullen & Pickett
at Waterloo, and it was at this time
that the friendship formed which has
eliminated in 50 happy manner.
The wedding occurred at the home
of the brides cousin, @. R. Jennings
800, East Forty-fourth street. It
was quiet wedding, only a few
intimate friends being present.
The wedding trip will include Ex-
celsior Springs and Southern points.

"Uncle Rube" given by the Rebekahs
draws Big Crowo at Central.

Very few available seats were left
unoccupied at the Central Thursday
eve when the Rebekah lodge Of
Manchester presented the play
"Uncle Rube," under the direction
of Mr.. G. Martini The general CON
sensus Of opinion is that it was the
best produced play ever given by
home talent in this city. AT any
rate it was thoughly appreciated
and deservedly praised. All of the
characters were well taken: Cal
Martin, a professional actor for
several years, taking the part of
Uucle RUDE to the satisfaction of
the audience. Dode Mccormick as
the rascally Deacon was certainly
the best old man we have ever
seen on the stage. AS was also the
dutch specially given by Mrs. Gene
Williams and Mr.. Claude Addison
the best we have ever seen on our
home stage. Mr.. Addison was Bob
Green and Mrs. Williams, Tags, the
New York waif, in Uncle Rube,
both of which parts were favolites
throughout the evening. Mrs. Lou
Bronson and and Mrs. Edmunds
looked charming and it was no small
wonder they won the admiration of
such lovers at Uncle RUDE, and the
artist, Gordon. Lafc Matthews, who
took the last named part, looked
and acted the artist to perfection.
Ike, the farm hand, was well i'm
personater by w. F. Evans, who
has previously appeared before
home audience and proves success
always. Floyd Evans, the deacon's
son, and a chip off tho old block,
was true villain and Edward
Fose, the dude, could not have
been better, his whole attitude was
that of Cholly boy and he never
relaxed the style for minute.
Much Of the pleasure of the even
ing was due to the piano numbers
given.by Mr.. Il. P. Toogood whose
playing is always source of genu-
inc enjoyment to his friends.
The artistic success of the evening
was no doubt largely due to Mr..
Martin, who has managed several
plays for Manchester audiences and
always to their satisfaction.
After the business" of the even
ing, the members of the company
had a picnic banquet very much
enjoyed by those participating
therein.

The Supreme Court has de-
cided the case of j. j. McAreavy
against Julia Magirl and others in
favor Of Mrs Magirl. This case
hasbeen pending in the courts for
nearly six years. It was commenc-
ed by Mrs. Magirl in June, 1898,
to recover upon a promissory note
given to her for money loaned to
j. j. McAreavy. Several defenses
were interposed, but judgment was
efaaadered in her favor by Judge
Blair on January ID, 1899. From
that judgement the defendant APP
pealed to the Supreme court, but
before the case came to trial there,
he dismissed his appeal and asked
for an injunction to restrain the
collection of the Judgment, be-
cause the plaintiff had allowed the
statute of limitations to run in fav-
or Of her husband, who was a party
to the note in suit. The injunction
case was tried before Judge Platt,
who rendered a decision which per.
petually enjoined the defendan,
from collecting her judgment. From
that decision Mrs. Magirl appealed
|, to the Supreme Court where, Of
stated above, the decision of the
District Court has been reversed
and final judgment in Mrs. Ma
girls favor will be rendered in tina
Court.

YELLoWNEss OF VISION.
A Condition Of Mind That Nav BE
Fittingly Termed Mental
Jaundice.

There are some people who have
mental jaundice. That is to say, they
see everything yellow. Physical jaun-
dice produces yellowness of the eyes.
A great many cases of jaundice actual
ly color the aqueous humor of the eye.
This produces a condition of the eye
which makes the patient see every
thing yellow. In fact the patient is
looking out on the world through yell
low fluid, and, of course, everything
looks yellow, says Medical Talk for the
Home.
Now there is a condition of mind
which might be likened to yellow jaun-
dice. A person gets yellow in his
mind, he Is yellow clear through to
his soul, and his soul is yellow also.
Then he looks out upon the world and
discovers that everything is yellow.
Every publication is yellow, every en-
terprise, everything is yellow but him
self, whom he fondly imagines is not
yellow. simply because he cannot see
himself.
Mental jaundice is still worse than
pnyslcal Jaund1ce. No drug can cure
mental jaundice, and there is no ra-
tional treatment for it. The patient
never knows that there Is anything
the matter with him. His friends and
neighbors know that there Is some-
thing wrong, but they can never make
the patient believe 1t. A person might
great deal better have something the
matter with his liver than something
the matter with his mind by which a
concentrated bile Of distrust and
hatred Is impaired to the soul Mental
jaundice Is great deal worse than
physical jaundice. as the bile that COW
ers the eye in mental jaundice is
wholly imaginary bile, which also
clouds the judgment and impairs the
feelings.
