A sPRING-TIME WEDDING.
A Pretty Idea Carried Out With Ma

A Pretty Idea Carried Out With Mar
 cissus and Pussy Willow" A pretty narcissus wedding is thus described; Every corner of the house was filled with branches of pussy will low, which had, as the children say, taken it's gray bonnet off to show it's golden curls." Tall vases and moss cov- cred bags were filled with it and wher- ever sufficiently spring-like back ground was provided there was a vase or bowl of lovely narcissus blooming. Pussy willow branches were tied with white satin ribbon all the way down the balustrade, and the door into the draw ing room, instead of being garlanded, was outlined with willow branches while a bunch of narcissus was fast ened at each side.
 In the drawing room itself the willow branches were mingled with heaps of moss and delicate green ferns, which gave a sweet background for the frail white blossoms placed everywhere, and out in the dining room the table had a lace scarf stretched over pale green down the center of the long table, while narcissus blossome were scattered over the cloth and thrust here and there del- icately through the meshes of the lace. There were no candles on the table, for the old French idea of closing out the sunshine to have an artificial light did not seem to suit the spring flowers which gave the keynote to the arrange ments. On the contrary, every window was thrown wide, and the balmy spring breeze came dancing in through the window.
 The ceremony took place in church, where the tapers on the altar, the white and gold draperies in the sanctuary and the heaps of narcissus blossoms, made a most beautiful picture. Instead of

 MT. Newton then offered the will of MT. Bennett as Exhibit A, but an ob- jection was entered by Mir Stoddard on the ground that the attesting witness should be produced to prove the entry of the document in the probate court. The objection was sustained. MT. Blake was excused after few more questions.
 MT. Newton offered the inventory of the estate of MT. Bennett as an exhibit, but MT. Stoddard objected, as there was a statement on the paper relative to property outside the state. The objec- tion was sustained.
 Alfred s. Sloan, the former partner of Mir. Bennett in the firm of Bennett & Sloan of New York was then called and stated in answers to questions that MT. Bennett had had box in the Mer- chants Safe Deposit company of Broad way, New York. He was present when the box was opened and said that the key to it had been kept in the safe of his store. The key was found about three weeks after MT. Bennett's death, which occurred August g. 1903. When asked how the vault was opened, wit ness said that a locksmith was em- ployed and that so far as he knew mo- body had had the key previous to his finding it. Mir. Sloan said that he had expected to have MT. Bennett's keys, but did not get them when he expected and so employed a locksmith, Robert J. Orr, a man selected by Mrs. Bennett. A number of private papers were found in the box, including the sealed letter. Mir Sloan could not positively identify the envelope that MT. Newton offered, that was supposed to have con- tained the sealed letter. and said that he depended entirely upon the inventory of the estate to do such.
 What did you do with the papers in the drawer?"
 Most of them are there now
 Did you do anything with any of them?"
 T don't know that any of the papers were taken away at any time"
 'Did any one give Mir. Bryan any papers from the drawer?"
 "I don't know that MT. Bryan ever received any papers that were in the drawer
 Witness then stated that Attorney James J. filling and Secretary Bull of Bennett & Sloan were present when the will was taken from the Merchants Safe Deposit company's vault in New York. Continued tomorrow.

The chief sources of the worlds sup ply of naphtha promises to be shifted to the eastern part of Asia, which has been found to be one of the richest mineral fuel regions in the world, according to recent consular report. The area of all the paying coal layers in Europe comprises only 22,760 square miles, an area equal to that of one of the Russian provinces-the Kazan province. The area of coal layers in eastern Asia though not yet estimated, is considered incalculable.
 Besides immense coal beds, eastern Asia possesses wealthy underground naphtha lakes that will soon be the foundation of a great industry. Naph- tha springs are found everywhere in China, in Manchuria in the Usseri dis trict in Japan and on Saghalien Island.

Wherever Located.

| Wherever Located.
TIME medical profession has SO thor
= oughly prejudiced the minds of the
people against patent medicines that it
is with great reluctance that anyone
can be persuaded to try such remedy
at first.
In nearly every one of the thousands
OF remarkable cures that Peruna has
made the patients had to be persuaded
by friends very strongly before they
conld Ley aside their prejudice against it.
A large multitude, of course, hold out
against the persuasions of friends and
die simply because they have allowed
their minds to be poisoned against this
very excellent remedy.
But, fortunately, there is another large
multitude of people who are able to
shake off their prejudice and try Peruna
before it is too late. These people are
rarely disappointed. They generally
try other remedies at the beginning Of
their troubles. They allow cold to
develop into catarrh of the head. They
allow catarrh OF the head to gradually
become catarrh Of the throat.
They still use the doctors medicine or
some other Intellectual remedy. The
catarrh stealtkily spreads down the
bronchial tubes and reaches the lungs.
Then they become alarmed. Faith
in the doctor begins to disappear.
The patient reaches a state of mind in
which he is willing to try almost any
thing. A bottle Of Peruna is sent for.

change for the better. A few weeks
continued treatment cures the patient.
