She and Brown have been keeping
company" for a long time Friday
they decided to marry. First they went
to the house of the Rev. s. E. Gaggy.
pastor of the Methodist church, but he
was not in. Then they went to Mr..
Kellogg's residence. When asked to
marry them the pastor hesitated. The
bride looked too young to be married
without the presence or written con-
sent of her parents or guardians. So
under pretense of getting the certifi-
cate ready he delayed the ceremony
until he could make inquiries. Salts
fed by these he prepared to begin the
service Then the bride-to-be stopped
proceedings.
The bridegroom argued with Miss
Raynor but she was firm.
"Tll marry you sometime, Harry,
but not to-day Wait awhile. Well
be much happier If we do"
Miss Raynor's father is dead, but her
mother does not object to the match.

DEMOCRATIC FEAST
Ways and Means to Success
Discussed at Chicago.
MILES SPOKE AGAINST IMPERIALISM
Features of Function Were Letters
From Grover Cleveland and w. j.
Bryan, Who Were Unable
to BE Present

CHICAGO, April IA. = Ways and
means to bring success to the Demo
cratic party in the presidential cam
paign this fall were discussed by prom
inent Democrats representing every
part of the country who attended the
Iroquois club banquet at the Audito-
rum in celebration of Jefferson's birth
day.
Tariff reform, antagonism to trusts,
independence for the Philippines and
rigid economy In public expenditures
were some Of the suggestions offered
by the speakers to bring about this
result
A feature Of the banquet was let
ter from former President Grover
Cleveland, who had been invited to at
tend, but was unable to be present In
his letter Mr.. Cleveland advised all
Democrats to make a close study OF
Jefferson's career and periodically
seek the welfare OF our country
through the ascendency of safe and
sane Democracy
When Stephen s. Gregory, the toast
master of the evening, introduced Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles the 500 banquet
ers rose In body and greeted the for
mer head OF the United States army
with decided enthusiasm. General
Miles in his response to the toast "Our
Country made forcfble argument
against imperialism
The following letter was received
from William j. Bryan:
81 am just In receipt of your invita-
10 az vs1
banquet of the Iroquois club. thank
you for the invitation and regret to
say that I shall not be able to attend.
/ trust, however, that those present
will take advantage of the occasion to
present to the country the Importance
Of maintaining Democratic principles
as they were set forth in the platforms
of 1896 and 1900 The merger decision
shows how closely the supreme court
is divided and how easy it is for those
who sympathiZe with corporate wealth
to find plausible reasons for staying
the hand of the government when it at
tempts to rebuke those who exploit
the people. Under our constitution the
president appoints the judges, and
those who have watched the decisions
income tax cases, in the trust cases
and in the cases involving the policy Of
the government in the Philippines can
not doubt that it is as important to
have judges who sympathize with the
people as to have judges learned in the
law In the present struggle between
plutocracy and democracy the corpora
tons are seeking to control the SUI
preme court, and if they can do that
the house of representatives, the SEN
ate and the president are powerless to
protect the people.
II trust that those that are honored
with an invitation to speak at your
banquet will raise a note of warning
| against the attempt now being made
by the money magnates to control the
Democratic convention and to secure
the nomination of Democratic candi-
date who will be obligated in advance
to betray the hopes OF the Democratic
!. masses"

BEARS IN A STREET FIGHT

Charles Long, who was in charge of the
wagon, first saw the animals barring his

them, but the bears, instead of running,

Hoped toward the wagon, one on each
side of the road.
Long remained on the wagon until
one of the bears made a lunge at his
horse and tore open its side with his
great forepaw. Then he Ieaped from the
wagon and ran half a dozen blocks for
help. When several men reached the
scene with guns they found the horse
dying and the bears gone. A trolley
car had passed, and it is supposed the
animals were frightened by it and fed.
The horse had to be killed

mind, and free from the wesriness
which follows strenuous, effort and late

arrange to do their shopping at such an
early date that stores and business
houses may be able to close their doors
