they left Pekin, where party of friends
as last, parting evidence of regard,
slipped the " darbies" on them, just as
the train got in motion. They rode
all night thus manacled. Every small
key on the train was tried, to give
Cupid a chance, but without avail,
and when morning dawned and the
train drew into the yard, a weary cou-
pie whose clothing required pressing,
stepped from the train, and were driven
to the central police station to have
severed the tie that bound. After fif.
teen minutes work by an expert, the
locks were forced and red welts around
the wrists only remained to testify to
the cruel experience imposed by the
thoughtless jokers. The groom was
too happy, however, to use gun, blu.
gave the locksmith a $25 fee, for the
happy release, while the bride only
blushed her thanks.

Gov. PARDEE's POLITICAL Sun HAS

represented his State by favoring q
limited number of coolies "but not to

Jealous promoter of the scheme, or

could not be found to complete the

mestic wine was served at a banquet,
but neither the Governor nor his

the refusal was considered in IS bad
taste as the effort to substitute the
christening element without consent
OF either builders or the government.
