A Brilliant Wedding,

The Odd Fellows hall in Elk City was
the scene of a pretty wedding Thursday
evening, when Miss Bessie Rice became
the wife of George w. Bentz, amid a
large assemblage of friends and rel
atives. The bride wore a gown of
champagne silk beautifully trimmed in
de'Alecon lace.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with flours and evergreens, and prompt
ly at o'clock the bridal party entered
the hall to the measures of a bridal
chorus from Lohengrin, played by Mrs.
Maud E. Basket. Suspended from a
floral arch hung a beautiful wedding
bell, under which the young couple
plighted their mutual vows with the
Rev. J. S. Kinkaid officiating.
The bride was given away by her
cousin, Mr.. H. D. Poyneer and Mrs. H.
D. Poyneer acted as bridesmaid. The
groom was attended by Homer Fem.
Messrs. Miles Rice and L.. A. Painter
acting in the capacity of ushers.
The ceremony soon lost its solemnity
when the final words were spoken by
the minister and the newly welded pair
received the hearty good wishes of all
present, after which sumptuous we'd
ding feast was spread in the banquet
hall presided over by Mesdames Parr,
Basket, Strong, Kinkaid and Anderson
After partaking of the good things of
life the party spent a few hours in
dancing Where the merry guests reveled
in the dizzy waltz until the wee small
hours.
The bride is young lady of attractive
appearance and charming graces, while
the groom is young man of high char
acter and qualifications. Well mated
their journey through life should be a
happy one.
Following is list of bridal presents
which testify to the high esteem in
which the happy couple are held:
A silver tea set by the 'Hooligans. "
Set of silver coffee spoons by Mr.. and
Mrs. George Harrington.
Silver baking dish by Mr.. and Mrs.
u. G. Kinkaid.
Handsome carving set by Mr.. and
Mrs. L. A. Strong.

Poyneer, and many other appropriate
gifts in needle work and other articles
by their numerous friends.

Lost the Pendnt.

The last of the series of races be-
tween Litchfield's horse, Jim, the Odd
Fellow, and Poyneer's Kid, was pulled
off Monday, the 18th, and resulted in
victory for the Kid, with Frank Hye
riding. Miss Alma Litchfield rode the
little bay in her usual brilliant style,
but the fates were against her; as it
was she made the big sorrel earn every
inch of lead he won, which was only a
short head. Said Mr.. Hye after the
race, 'It was the hardest race to win l
ever tackled, the way she made that
little rabbit push the earth behind him
was caution"
The betting was two to one on Kid
which was taken by the Odd Fellow S
friends as long as their money lasted,
Miles Rice being the heaviest loser, and
cheerful one as we'll
U. G.. Kinkaid bet all his pin money
on Kid and then put up his hat, which
was promptly covered by the News
man, who, singular to relate, owned
two, and suddenly became possessed
with the sordid desire to increase his
worldly wealth to the extent of one
more, but the tickle goddess gave him
the marble heart" Bud won the hat
and looks like the devil whenever he
wears it, which is some consolation.

DOUBLE TRACK ROCK ISLAND.
Immense improvement Planned for
Next Year in Iowa.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Oct. 25.-Next
season is likely to see good deal OF
improvement work on the ROCK Island
roadbed between Council BIunS ana
Chicago, and among other things said
to be in view is the double tracking
of the line west from Iowa CITY TO TINS
point. This project has been heard OF
before, but at the present time there
is understood to be a fair probability
that the work is actually contemplate
ed for the coming year. Employees OF
the road are looking for 1t and semi
official statements have been made to
that effect.
Little work has been done on the
roadbed in Iowa the past year or two,
and Rock Island men say this 1nd1cates
something. The road now has double
track from Chicago to Iowa City, and
when it is extended westward the
grade will have to be widened and
otherwise changed. Some alterations
are needed in the present line, but 1t
will be cheaper, of course, to do all the
work at once. Whenever the double
tracking is done, the grades will be
evened up and some curves and bends
will be eliminated or modified.
The Rock Island is supposed to be
planning extensive developments in
the west and southwest One thing
that is regarded as strong prooapll-
ity is the construction of connecting
links with the Moffatt line and the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
railway. 1t is also stated that con-
nection is to be made between the
Rock Island-Frisco system and the
Santa Fe, which will give a combina-
ton route 200 miles shorter than any
other trans continental line.
Western railroads, including all the
lines which enter Council Bluffs, are
finding the big locomotives which have
been put into service during the last
few years less satisfactory and eco
nomical than those of the medium
type. 1t is found that the monster
ma chimes are not able to haul enough
more freight than the old ones to JUS
tify the increased cost of running them
and the wear and tear. moreover, is
greater than On the lighter engines.
'tAll the lines have been overload
ing their big locomotives, said a
Council Bluffs railroad man yeSter-
day, land a good deal of trouble has
resulted. 1t is now generally agreed
among officials and enginemen alike
that these machines are not equal in
utility to those of lesser size, consid-
ering amount of service and difference

Cut Rate from s12 to So.

Rivalry between the Great Western
and Northwestern over the AXIS Ar
Ben" excursion from Omaha to Mime
apolis yesterday resulted in a rate of
SO being made for the round trip of 6SS
miles. The regular round trip rate is
about $12. Ten days ago the Great
Western rendered the AXIS Ar Ben"
which is composed of business men Of
Omaha, an excursion rate to Mime
apolis of S. A few days later the
Northwestern, presumably with the OBJ
ject of forcing a withdrawal of the
Great Westerns Sc rate, rendered a rate
of SO. Instead of withdrawing the IS
rate the Great Western announced that
it would meet the Northwesterns rate
of SO. The Illinois Central and the
Minneapolis and ST. Louis roads an
nounced they would meet the rate.

AGREE ON DIVORCE.
Episcopal Bishops and Deputies Final
Iy Get Together.

Boston, Oct 25.-An agreement on
the divorce question has been reached
by the house of bishops and the house
of deputies of the Episcopal general
convention after many days of discus
sion. That section of the canon bear
ing directly upon the remarriage of di-
Vorced persons, which was amended by
the bishops on Saturday was assented
TO by the deputies and becomes ef1ec-
tive at once. 1t is as follows:
No minister knowingly after due in
quiry shall Solemnize the marriage or
any person who has been or is the hus-
band or wife of any other person then
living, from whom he or she has been
divorced for any cause arising after
marriage But this canon shall not be
held to apply to the innocent party in
a divorce for adultery; provided, that
before the application for such remar-
riage a period of not less than one year
shall have elapsed after the granting
of such divorce, and that satisfactory
evidence touching the facts in the case
including a copy of the courts decree
and record if practicable with sucn
proof that the defendant was PERSONAL
ly served or appeared in the action, be
laid before the ecclesiastical authority,
and such ecclesiastical authority having
taken advice thereon shall have declar-
ed in writing that in his judgment the
case of the applicant conforms to the
requirement of this canon; and provid-
ed, further, that it shall be within the
discretion of any minister to decline to
solemniZe any marriage"
The bishops adopted an amendment
TO a section referring to the admins
tration of sacraments. providing that il
a clergyman shall have reasonable
cause to doubt whether a person has
been married otherwise than as the
word of God and discipline of this
church allow" such clergyman shall
refer the matter to the bishop before
administering the sacraments.
The deputies had made an exception
in favor of the innocent party divorce
ed" on the ground of adultery who had
remarked. but the bishops struck out
the exception. Their action was accept
ed by the house of deputies.
Leading chairmen expressed the
opinion that the restrictions placed up
on the remarriage of an innocent party
TO a divorce are so stringent that the
remarriage of divorced persons will be
rare in the church hereafter. 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that an attempt will
be made to have the next convention
specifically declare against remarriage
under any circumstances
The house of deputies rejected. after
a long debate a resolution to strike out
the words Protestant Episcopal from
the title page of the book of common
prayer.
Both houses have appointed a joint
commission to consider the adviSability
of electing presiding bishop of the
church. As president the senior bishop
occupies this position and it is claimed
that the duties are too heavy for an
report to the next convention
Rev. Francis Taitt of Chester Pa
was elected assistant bishop of South
Dakota.

Testing New SIGNALS.

Denver Oct. ga new fash light
signal has been placed on trial by the
Rio Grande road. The new appliance
is an electric headlight under control
of the engineer. The light can be flood
ed across the sky, giving warning OF
the trains approach, the object being to
signal from one engine to another while
running on curves or in narrow can
yons. Where the trains cannot be seen
for a safe distance the engineer can
flash a-warning in the sky that can be
seen for miles. Different colored lights
are used to designate the class of trains,
white for passenger, red for freights.
and green for extras running without
schedule. 1t is believed the device will
be a valuable one for trains running
on mountain roads.

OPERATIONS A FAD
Public Gradually Awakens to the Fact.

The latest fad in operations has been
the appendicitis fad: before that the
fad for rectal operations (piles, etc.)

operated upon and robbed of their last
dollar, when the only trouble was a
simple case of hemorrhoids or piles

pie remedy costing but fifty cents a
box,

box later, but was happily surprised
when 1 found that 1 was cured, and

least sign of piles since l used this one

months; previous to using Pyramid

Eastern Roads Paid the Freight.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 25.-The Denver
e. Rio Grande and the Southern Pa
cific received the lions share of the
$25 colonist rate to the Pacific coast
which was Withdrawn last week. The
Burlington, Rock Island and other
Missouri river roads were compelled
to haul the traffic from st. Louis, Chi
cago and other points for $3.50 a head,
the lowest rate the Missouri river-Den-
yer lines ever received for traffic.
The colonist rate was $25, of which
the Southern Pacific demanded 80 per
cent. or S13.75, for the Ogden-Califor-
MIA haul. The Rio Grande demanded
and received 60 per cent of the re-
mainder, leaving the Burlington, Rock
Island and other feeders but $3.50
for the ride to Denver.
Last week 4.235 tourists passed
through Denver for California points
against 1,814 for the same week last
year. Besides, 1.009 went west via Ell
