There was one act on the part of the
carnival people here last week that
was not advertised on the bills and
programs, namely the marriage Of
Frank Purperin, the man who each
day went up in the balloon, to Miss
Addie Leroy. The marriage was
solemnized on last Saturday by Judge
Thorson. The groom took = wedding

the ceremony WAS performed by going
up in the balloon. Coming down he
lit in the lake where the water was
about four feet deep. He walked to

The general public does not seem to
be aware of the fact that it is an
offense against the posta laws to pur-
chase postage stamps for the purpose
of sending them away for the payment
of goods OF any kind. The localpost-
Office tries to discourage as much as
possible this practice and will refuse
to sell stamps where it Ia known that
they are intended TO be used for this
purpose. This week government in
spector arrested q man In the southern
part of the state for sending stamps in
quantities through the mail and he
plead guilty and was promptly fined
It is given out that in the future more
attention will be paid by the authori-
lies to hunting down and Furnishing
offenders against this section of the
postal laws.-Lester Prairie News.
