BANNS OF MARRIAGE.
A Custom That Dates Hack to the
Primitive Christian Church.

The custom Of publishing the banns
Of marriage dates back to the primi-
tive church. for Tertullian, who died
a. u. 240 states that warning OF in
tended marriages was given among the
early Christians.
1t appears that the publication or
banns WAS habitual In many places
long>hefore there was any general law
c;s tha suDtact. since & rc-pry-li v tits
1916 speaks OF the banns from Latin
bannum. proclamation; Anglo-Saxon.
BAN being given ont In church, ac-
cording to custom. The practice was
introduced into France about the ninth
century and in 1l76 was enforced In
the diocese of Paris.
The earliest enactment on the sub
jcct in England was an order made In
the synod of Westminster in 1900 to
the effect that no marriage should be
celebrated till the banns had been pub
lished In the church on three several
Sundays or feast days. This rule was
made obligatory throughout the church
by the fourth Lateran council held In
Rome In 1915. By act Of parliament
banns must nov be given out In Eng
land on three Sundays. An

THE MAGNOLIA.
In the HimaIayas Are Found the
Most Magnificent specimens

The magnolia, so called from Pierre
Magnol, professor of botany ut Mont
pcllicr in the seventeenth century, Is a
genus embracing fourteen species OF
remarkably handsome shrubs delicious
~ scented and far more hardy than is
commonly supposed. They are very
widely distributed in China, Japan and
the Himalayas and In Mexico and the
United States.
The old world species seem to have
been the earliest cultivated, the Chi
ncse preserving the buds as well as
using them incidentally and to season
their rice. The purple lowered Japa-
nese plant was discovered by Kemp
fer in 1890 and introduced into Eng
land In 1909. The Himalayas possess
three varieties, among them the most
magnificent of all, Magnolia Campbell,

In the first opening Of Oklahoma
to settlers In 1888, the editor OF this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day IN april. Daring his
travelling about aiiG afterwards his
camping upon his claim. he encount-
cred much bad water, which, togeth-
er with the severe heat, gave him a
very severe 2iarriioea which il
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became
so bad he expected to die. One day
one OF his neighbers brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Renee
dy as last hope. A big dose was
given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and III few minutes the dose was
repeated. The good effect OF the
medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was TAX
ing his first sound sleep for fort
night. That one little bottle worked
a complete cure, and he cannot help
but feel grateful. The season for

From the Review
The habitual use Of obscene. pro-
fame, or slang expietives leaves one
powerless to speak strongly in good
English.
John Weis and wife and John
Wehren were called to Freeport
Monday to attend the funeral OF
John Wuerth, husband of Mary
,Yeis, formerly of this place, who
was killed Sunday in labor riot.
The farmers have been so busy
that they would not let their wives
have teams to go visiting and the
young men have worked so hard
that they were too tired to go spark
ing Sundays-hence the dearth Of
news.
Some people spend enough weep
ing over spilled milk to buy whole

reported sick with pleurisy, has re-

come so rapidly to the front in recent
years, especially in the middle West.
The University of Wisconsin nov
has larger student attendance than
Yale's, faculty of $50, and an annual
