TWO HEARTS UNITED.

1t was happy occasion when
two hearts were united it the
holy bonds of matrimony in the
Pahsamaroi valley last Thurs
day evening, December 7th,
1905, at about o'clock.
The happy couple who are just
embarking on life's sea of matri-
mony are Mr.. Henry Nichols, of
California, and Miss Honoria P.
Hallaran, of Pahsamaroi valley.
The wedding took place at the
residence of the brides parents,
near May, Idaho, and the cere-
mony was performed by Rev.
Hobby, Methodist, of that valley,
in the presence of several rela-
tives from Challis and Pahsam-
aroi.
Mrs. John Christian and Mr..
VIM. Hallaran; Mrs. M. A. Brown
and Mr.. Gilbert Hallaran acted
as bridesmaids and groomsmen.
The bride was beautifully at
tired IN a silver gray silk dress
trimmed with white velvet and
embroidered silk applique.
The bride is lovely and cul-
tured young lady, possessing all
those traits of character which
make a true woman. Her pleas
ant disposition and kindness and
lovely nature has won her many
warm friends. She is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Hal
laran of Pahsamaroi, and came
to Idaho with her parents from
New Orleans, La, about II years
ago, and since that time has re-
sided in this vicinity, where by
her lady-like manners she has
won friends who are legion. The
bride has many relatives here,
also. Her sisters are Mrs. John
Kirk, Mrs. Joseph Rodgers, Mrs.
John Adams, Mrs. M. A. Brown
4 and Mrs John Christian Of
Challis, and her father and
mother and two brothers of Pah-
samaroi, and nearly all of whom
were present at the wedding.
The groom, while not very
well known here, comes with ex
cellent recommendations, and
appears to be a gentleman in
every respect, and he is fortunate,
indeed, in winning such an esti-
mable lady for a life partner.
Numerous presents costly and
useful-were given the bride and
groom by their many relatives
and friends as tokens of esteem.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols will re
main at Pahsamaroi this winter,
but in the spring hope to make
their home in California.
1 The MESSENGER joins in ex-
tending the happy couple its best
wishes. May their love and hap
piness be as deep as the ocean
and their sorrows as light as the
oceans foam

the world. A visit to his gallery
will convince anyone that Idaho,
as show place, compares favor
ably with any other state in the
western part of the Union, and
consequently with any country in
the world.
While ''The Tetons" are not in
Idaho so much as they are in
Wyoming, still one must pass
through this state to get to
them. Therefore they are Ida
hos property. ''The Tetons" is
the title of photograph which
shows a star grazing range of
mountains, rising range on
range to shoulder progress
back" as Sam Simpson says in
his poem about the Willamette.
AT the foot of the range is a
lake, an emerald jewel against
the azure bosom of a misty peak.
Scottish locks are less beautiful.
Altitudinous ponds in the Alps
are not whit more sombre and
grand.
The Gathering Storm" is the
title of another masterpiece. It
pictures the Tetons storm-swept,
ashen gray, tremendously aus
tere. Janey lake, at the foot of
the hazy hills, lies like a smitten
sea, leaden, quiet as though with
fear.
Railroad circulars delight to
paint the beauties of the Garden
of the Gods in Colorado. Away
down in Owyhee county, in
'HeIl's Half Acre" there is
pocket edition of the Garden of
the Gods. The Bad Lands of
Montana pale into insignificance
when compared with 'Helrs
Half Acre" Here nature lavish
ed as much ugliness as she could
spare, resulting in a spot wildly
beautiful, which is paradoxical
but true. Pillars of jagged rock,
spires of wind-worn granite,
dizzy cliffs of smitten diorite, and
long, easy slopes of rock slides
conspire to make an ensemble of
grandeur.
For something less weird and
wild, there is Riordan lake, in
Thunder mountain; or Reddish
lake, at the foot of the snow
capped Sawtooth peaks; or Coeur
d'Alene lake, that beauty spot in
the northern part of the state
which artists despair of paint
ing, but which the camera limns
with truth and loveliness.
More beautiful than all, are
the Blue lakes ON the Snake
river, which are replicas of the
canyon of the Yellowstone, minus
the glaring colors.
Restful are ''The Pines" bit
of woodland scenery, beautiful
from two points of view artistic
and material. The picture shows
the wealth of Idaho's forest of
white pine, the best in the
world.
Two other pictures Shoshone
falls and Miner should be
viewed together, in the same
dual spirit with which one should
view The Pines" One shows
the grandeur of an immense
waterfall and the other reveals
how men harness it and claim it
as slave to irrigate fields and
turn wheels and make two blades
, of grass grow where only one
grew before.
Another view full of wonder
ment is that of Emmett valley,
taken from the summit of Freeze
out hill, showing the winding
. Payette river and it's farms and
, fields, fertile as the famed valley
of the Nile. Boise Statesman.

SHRINKAGE IN FEVER.
DR.. GuiteraS Predicts Freedom From
Yellow Fever in 40 Days.

New Orleans, Aug. 15.-Hopefulness
among the general public was manifest
ed today over the yellow fever situation
from the shrinkage of cases during the
past "a hours and the belief is getting
ground that 105 cases reported from
Saturday will prove to be the top fig
ures of the present visitation of the fe-
Vef.
The weather was trif1e cooler today
but there is no indication of a decided
fall in temperature.
Noon yellow fever report: New cases
in New Orleans since s o'clock yester-
day, 13; total cases to date 1,031-
Deaths today 5; total deaths III.
The number of new cases and deaths
up to noon today shows a slight i'm
provemeflt in the situation in New Or
leans. New cases continue to appear
from day to day in the state but there
is no violent spread of the pestilence.
Alabama and Mississippi continue free
from the disease, three suspicious cases
at Raymond, Miss, being pronounced
not yellow fever. DR.. Guiteras, the ex-
pert, predicted today that New Orleans
would be free from the infection in 40
days.

he learned and shared the view of the
ruler that peace was impossible for
Russia upon the basis of indemnity or
cesSion of territory and in all his pub
lie and private utterances. he continues
to hold an absolutely uncOmpromiSing
attitude upon those points.
All indications from the Japanese
side also are that Baron Komura is
equally firm and that the payment of
the cost of the war and the ceSsion of
Sakhalin are conditions sine qua non.
A suggestion is made that when Baron
Komura ascertained from Mr.. Whites
reply the Russian non possimus upon
these articles, he decided to begin the
consideration of the articles ad seria-
tim, in order to have time to commu-
nicate with his government, and secure
its final word. The suggestion from
Vienna of a possible compromise on
the question of Sakhalin on the basis
of condominum looks attractive, but it
is hardly considered practicable solu-
ton as cOndominum would almost
inevitably lead to friction and trouble.
A little more than half a century ago
it might be said that condominum al
most existed on the island. the Rus
slams holding the northern and the
Japanese the southern half, the limita-
tions of their respective jurisdiction
being barely defined.
The Hebrew delegation headed by
Jacob H. Schiff of New York. left the

of their talk with Mr.. Witte and the

but prove beneficial to their coreligion-
lists in Russia. They continue to deny
most emphatically that the question of
loan to Russia was discussed with
Mr.. Witte. Nevertheless one of them
said to the correspondent that he had
no doubt if Russia desired, Jewish
banks would be glad to loan Russia
money, if the Jews in Russian were
placed on an equal footing with other
resentative of another great banking
house, not Jewish, said: Russia can
obtain in America all the money she
wants to make peace, but none to
make war. Our position is the position
of the Paris bankers"

WESTERN ASSOCIATION STA
TO THE FRISCO ROAD.
Striking Santa Fe BoiIerrnakers secure
Good PSsdions.

Ottawa, Kan, Aug. 15.-A number
of the striking boilermakers of the
Santa Fe shops have gone to Spring
field, Mo-, to enter the employ of the
Frisco in the shops at that point. The
party included Frank Sears, Thomas
Evans. Elmer and Willis Bunyan. 1t
is understood that another contingent
of a half dozen will leave for the same
place early next month.
General Foreman Fox of the Frisco
shops had been here a number of days
engaging the men. A personal investi-
cation was made in each mans case.
Mr.. Fox applied directly to the Santa
Fe officials for information concerning
the men. In each case he was cheer
fully informed that the subject of in
quiry is an expert workman and a good
citizen. The men have a contract at
standard wages. The Frisco has
good contract with the union; all of
the relations being pleasant and har-
monious.
The boys went out over the Missouri
Pacific. They have been guaranteed
transportation to Ottawa monthly if it
should be desired.

new KANSAS ROAD.
Will Run Through Western Part of
State-Charter Today.

Milton Brown, attorney for the
Denver, Enid & Gulf railway, filed an
application for charter for the Dem
yer, Kansas & Gulf railway with the
secretary of state this morning. The
new road is practically an extension
of the Denver, Enid & Gulf railway,
which is now in the process of con-
struction in Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory.
The incorporators of the new road
were given as follows: Breckinridge
Jones, of the Mississippi Valley Trust
company, of st. Louis; Ned L. Peck
ager of the Denver Enid & Gulf, of
Blackwell, Okla; J. ]. Cunningham,
general freight agent of the Denver.
Enid & Gulf, at Enid Okla; w. c..
Robinson, president of the First Ma
uona1s bank of Winfield, KaS.: G. Q.
Chandler, president of the First Ma
tional bank of Medicine Lodge. and
also president of the First National
bank of Wichita; c. J. Rhodes, of the
Denver Enid & Gulf formerly of St
Louis, now of Medicine Lodge; and
Milton Brown, of Topeka, attorney for
the Denver Enid & Gulf. Medicine
Lodge is named in the application as
the principal place of doing business,
and Mr.. Brown, together with Mr..
Rhodes, goes there tomorrow to make
plans for future work.
The construction of the line will be
done by the Besline Construction COM
pany. This is the same company that
built the Blackwell, Enid & South
western railway, which runs from
Beaumont Kas., through Oklahoma
to Texas. 1t is also the same company
that is now building the Denver, Enid
& Gulf in Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory This company is backing and
supporting the enterprise financially.
AS far as determined at present the
route of the new road will be as fol-
lows: Starting with Cherokee, where
it will connect with the Denver, Enid
& Gulf, it will cross the state line near
kiowa, Barber county, from which
town it will continue northwest to
Medicine Lodge. From there it will
go west to Lake City then north to
Coats, Platt and Naron. From that
cided and two ways are proposed, one
by the way of Great Bend the other by
way of Larned. Probably the former
OF these two routes will be chosen if
arrangements can be made with Great
Bend. At present that city is consid-
ering a proposition offered by the
Great Bend & Gulf railway and may
not see fit to consider the proposition
made by the Denver, Kansas & Gulf
people. If the road should go by way
of Larned it will extend north through
Lacrosse and Hays then northwest to
Hill City and finally connecting with
the Burlington & Missouri River at
Norton. Should the Great Bend pro-
position be accepted by the people of
that city the road will go due north
through Hoisington, Russell, Paradise,
Alton, Cedarville and connect with the
Burlington at Bloomginton. Nebraska.
Surveyors are now at work in Bar
Der and Pratt counties. The road will
have the cars into Cherokee by the first
| of October and wants them into Kan
saS by the 1st of January.

MORE WARM WEATHER.
Today Is a Continuation of the Past
Week.

From Indications today it seems al
most necessary to borrow from the BIZ
BILE to find a suitable phrase to describe
the prevailing conditions: "The same.
yesterday, today and forever" The
mercury this morning was playing
around the same old mark that it has
been found so near for the last week
and now at noon it is gradually working
upward and by O'Clock we will proba-
bly, have a taste of the same good old
summer time'' that has been with US
for some time, and is described as corn
growing weather. The same little breeze
that has helped us survive the heat so
far this summer is blowing. The funny
little instrument on top of the weather
department building assures us that 1t
is a six mile an hour breeze and While
it does not seem to be so, We care not
discredit the weather bureau, for Direc-
tor Jennings swears by his instruments.
Clear weather generally prevailed over
Kansas and western Missouri TINS
morning. The temperature today has
risen, while the night temperature has
risen in central and eastern Kansas and
in western Missouri but has fallen over
the rest of Kansas. Slight showers
have occurred in the extreme eastern
portion of Kansas and over western
Missouri. The maximum ana MINIMUM I,Il

ENID CAN'T HAVE 1T.
Guthrie to Keep Her Baseball Team
After All.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 15.-The offer
of Enid to buy the Guthrie franchise
in the Western association was fiatly
turned down. Two of the directors
were seized with cold feet and wanted
to sell. The stockholders at Monday
nights meeting condemned the sale
and raised $4,000 to pay all back SAL
aries and expenses of the recent trip,
and the Senators were sent to Wichita
transfer if the people of Guthrie can
help it. When the proposition was
made, Ben Henderson. the manager,
said: WEN resign before we will go
to Enid"
This mornings dispatches brought
the news from Enid that the Guthrie
franchise had been sold to that town.
President Shiveley was down there
through Topeka this morning with
Umpire Lewinson. The latter stopped
off here to officiate in the Oklahoma
City and Guthrie games. Shiveley went
on through. Lewinson umpired in the
territory capital yesterday. Asked
about the transfer he said: why
Shiveley told me that when he left
there on Monday afternoon at o'clock
that the whole matter had been
Strengthened up and that the franchise
would remain there. That was the
general understanding of the situation.
Guthrie was over $500 in debt and
Shiveley said that the fans got together
and raised that amount. He left think
ing everything lovely, and / cannot un-
derstand this mornings dispatches
from Enid" A query was at once sent
to Guthrie and the telegram printed
above came in reply.
