JONES-WALKER
 CHURCH WEDDING.
Popular Society Couple Plight Their Troth Wednesday Even ing at Methodist Church Reception Given By Mrs.
 Robert Dorsey Fol-
 lows Wedding.


 Dorsey Jones to Dr. Henry Owe
 Walker, which was solemnize
 Wednesday evening at 8 o'cloc
 in the Methodist church, was al event of much interest and i'm portance to Newport society connecting as it does two promi nent Jackson county families.
 The month of June seems des tined to uphold it's popularit, with pilgrims to Hymen's alta that characterized the summe, months of two years ago, whe1 several of our fairest maidens and most handsome bachelors fell victims to loves shafts, fol already has the June calendal chronicled a number of these pretty events, to which the in. terest of s2ciety is ever awake and mindful in both anticipative and reflective comment.
 In the opinion of many who have witnessed weddings for a score of years or more that of Wednesday evening was one of the prettiest. The church had been arrayed in most elegant floral garb. The wide semi-cir- cular chancel permitted most elaborate decorations and the season in it's exuberance of fresh flowers and foliage had contribu- ted lavishly.
 The main arch, beneath which the ring should seal the union of two hearts, was draped in the greenery of vines, studded with snowy white magnolias, and from the center marked by a large bow hung graceful folds of rib bon. From the chancel, whose woodwork was hidden beneath potted plants and foliage, pro- truded masses of elder blossoms, While the front wall contributed an effective background in it's array of green and white. The windows were arched in magno- lias and vines and the same man. ner of decorations were used to trim advantage between the col umns beneath the gallery. The harmonizing effects of green and white in floral decorations were never more strikingly exempli- fled, a compliment both to the queenly beauty of the magnolia and the skill of Mesdames M. J. Lucas and l. Sprigg in working wonders with natures contribu- tions.
 The wedding party reached the church promptly at 8 and their entrance was preceded by very sweet rendition of Paul Rodney's My Dream of You,' sung by Miss Hester Phillips. N1-
 Then came the strains of Men dlessohn's s march, played by Mrs. B. B. Wilmans, the ushers. Messrs. Henry Owen and Ed Sprigg and Claude Erwin and P. H. Van Dyke, entering in cou- pies via the two side aisles. { The four groopsmen, Messrs. Z W. B. Bevens, Sprigg Foushee. ( C. K. Stephens and Jack Swim 1ey, came down the center aisle I slngly, ranging themselves to the $ right of the altar, while the t bridesmaids, Misses Hal and V Josie Phillips, Tillie Sprigg and s Lou Minor, together with dame 'f honor, Mrs. G. P. Horner, and q maid of honor, Miss Bessie E. l.. 0 Watson, followed, stationing a themselves to the left of the .hancel. i, The groom and his best man, c Ar. Arthur F.

"The Wisconsin, Republicans would
better lose their state to the Demo

demagogue and blatherskite as LaFol

large portion OF its party. That is
the sentiment that caused the Repub.

there means determination to be
rid Of Gov. IAFollette. The old.time

BASLE, Switzerland. April 30.-The
International Society for the Protec-
ton Of Workmen has received the fol-
lowing letter from the papal secretary
of state, Merry del Val:
My sublime master, -pontiff, desires me
to express to you that, like his pTede-
cessor, Leo XIII, he is in hearty accord
with all movements intended to benefit
workmen. The pontiff in particular de-
sires it understood that he favors with
all his heart any Tightening of the bur-
den Of men and women who work with
their hands. Work should be regulated
so as to conform to the physical ability Of
the workman; 1t should be regulated to
fit the sexes; it should be regulated to
permit of stoppage of all work on Sun
days.
The workman should be protected
against employment and employers that
have no regard for his dignity as man
and citizen, that endanger his morality
and interfere with his family life. The
holy father trusts that you will devise
peaceful means to realize the above ends.
If you do, your efforts will be crowned
with success and all good governments
will regard them with sympathy. On his
own part, the pope Will be happy to as
sist you with advice and prayer.

MINERS ORGANIZER
is TERRIBLY BEATEN
w. M. Wardjon Says One Of His AS
sailants Was Detective.

DENVER, Col, April 80. = w. M.
Wardjon, national organizer of the
United Mine Workers of America, was
terribly beaten over the head and
shoulders with revolver by three un-
known men at Sargent, Col. He was
able to talk tonight. He declares that
his assailants were a detective named
Gregory and two men named Wolf and
Walters. He says he is positive of the
two latter.
He says that during the struggle he
secured a revolver and that his assail-
ants then ran. He chased them to the
door and fired eight shots at them.
They replied with three shots, none Of
which took effect. He believes he
wounded one man. The doctors say
that Wardjon will probably recover,
though he is suffering from a concus-
sion of the brain.
