LEAVES DENVER.
DR.. Montgomery, Who Dedicated
the Methodist Church Here
Last Fall, in Poor Health.

Last Fall, in Poor Health.
DR.. and Mrs. J. S. Montgom-
cry, accompanied by their two
sons, Gale and William, arrived
in the city this morning from
Denver, where DR.. Montgomery
remained for six months as pas
tor of Trinity Methodist church.
Theyare now at the Nicollet hotel.
and later they will be the guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. M. w. Savage
on Portland avenue.
DR.. Montgomery has severed
his connections with the Denver
church, and has also refused a
number of churches in. different
parts Of the country, one in
Washington, D. O., another in
Columbus, and Grace church in
New York, besides a number of
other eastern ones.
During his stay in the west his
health became impaired owing to
the high altitude, and altho the
people of his church insisted that
he take a long vacation and. then
return to them, he concluded to
leave for the east. where he would
make his permanent residence.
Seven physicians have advised
rest for an indefinite time forhim,
and altho as yet it is not decided,
he may leave for Europe. where
lie may remain for a year. He
has lost Is pounds in weight, and
a final decision will be reached in
few days as to whether or not
he is able to make the "trip.
The present plans are to leave
both sons in Minneapolis to at
tend school until the return of
DR.. and Mr.. Montgomery.
while Denver is a beautiful
city, and the people there are
among the finest [ have met
anywhere, 1 am glad to turn my
back on the place. When one
gets as near Heaven literally as
one can in Denver, it is hard for
them to live yat all. Then, too,
the atmosphere is rather morbid,
as the valleys, the canyons and
the mountains are swarming with
people who are there for con
sumption. In the railway sta
tions there-are hundreds of them
every day, coming and going on
every train, and usually accom-
panied by some one of their
family.
Il am only here to locate my
boys in school, otherwise I should
not have stopped in Minneapolis.
However, it seems good to get
back, and I wish [ was going to
remain. My stay in Europe is
indefinite; it all depends on the
matter ofmy health. I may get
we'll sooner than I expect to, in
which case I shall return, and if
not, I intend to remain there un-
til [ am better.
"One Of the noticeable things
that l observed while I was away
was the difference in the tone Of
the press, [ sincerely think that
the Minneapolis press is the
cleanest of any in the country,
and newspaper people thru the
west also join in that opinion of
Minneapolis papers.
I can not tell where I will To-
cate when again arrive in Amer
ica. [ shall be governed entirely

GOOD SHOOTING.

The duck shooting record of
the season was broken Tuesday
by party Of sportsmen, consist
ing of b. D. Washburn, f. 3.
Carpenter, Fred Martin, L. H.
Smith, Father Nolan, H. j. Har
ness, J. G. Lang and Leo L. Lang,
who spent Tuesday at Goose
Lake. Over $50 ducks we're shot
and, as one of the party re-
marked, it Was not a good day for
ducks either. Father Nolan and
Herman Harness are deserving
of special mention in view of the
fact that they each reached the
limit allowed by the game law.
On account of the high water in
the lake considerable difficulty
was encountered in securing the
game, and had it not been for the
dilligent and faithful work of the
retrievers the result would have
been different.

TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
Miss Burruss WEEDS Lieut.. Jordan in
Norfolk.
nee of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NORFOLK, Va, September 9, 1905.
Norfolk society was taken greatly by
surprise by the marriage early this morning
of Miss Addie c. Burruss Of this city and
Lieut.. Harry B. Jordan, U. 8. A. No an
nouncement had been made Of Miss Bur-
russ engagement to Lieut.. Jordan. and
many Of the brides closest friends had no
idea Of her contemplated marriage until
last evening. The wedding took place
quietly at the home of the parents of the
bride on Duke street, there being present
only immediate friends of the families. The
couple left for Old Point Comfort and will
go tonight to Washington for a stay OF
several days, after which they will go to
Narragansett Pier and Newport for their
honeymoon. Miss Burruss is the eldest
daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Nathaniel Bur-
russ of Norfolk. Capt. Burruss was for
merly president of the Burruss Bank here,
and has been prominent in the financial
world for many years. Miss Burruss has
been one Of the most prominent young
women in Norfolk.
Lieut.. Jordan Is a native of Louisville,
KY, being member of the prominent Jor-
dan family Of Kentucky. He is just thirty
three years old. He is now stationed at the
United States arsenal at Springfield, Mass.

neers had been eliminated by act Of Con-

one Will ever know how much pressure was

Making hay while the sun Shines" or
more clearly, taking advantage of the period
of recuperation now prevalent among the
democrats, following their strenuous pri-
mary campaign, the republicans of the val
ley of Virginia have entered upon brisk
campaign that is causing no little comment
and apprehension in democratic ranks
While the latter confident of carrying
the state in the November election, they
are, nevertheless, according to the republic
cans. making big mistake by not coming
out and meeting Judge Lewis and the other
republican candidates now on the hustngs.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
CUMBERLAND. Nd, September 8, 1906
The republicans of this county have per-
fected strong organization for the cam
paign. The committee which was chosen
at the primaries last Saturday has organ
lied by the election of the following officers:
Chairman, P. G. Cowden, jr; vice chair
man, R. H. Williams; secretary. Urner G.
Carl; treasurer. Conrad G. Won Butcher;
election committee, DR. Theodore A. K.
3. Stewart, Charles Owens and Thomas
Wilson. The officers serve two years
Both factions are represented in the work.
Ing force Of the party and for the first time
In six years the various elements seem to be
united. The republicans expect to elect
every man on the ticket. Despite the fact
that the county is nearly 1900 republican
all the offices Of Importance are now held
by democrats, due to republican quarrsls
The democrats of this county are in some
what of quandary. Only Ave days re-
mains in which aspirants for Office can an
nounce themselves for nominations under
the new primary law and so far only three
persons have filed announcements-Arthur
Warfield, for register of wills; Harry ].
Schley, for house Of delegates, and William
E. Hodel, for sheriff. There are fifteen
places to fill on the ticket and IL will likely
be necessary for the county committee to
make the nominations. This would, of
course, let the primaries go by default.
The old county committee under the law
can make the nominations and create the
new committee. Very few democrats can
be found who are anxious to go into the
fight. Prospects are not as good as they
were in the past, as the republicans are ap-
parently together this year. The repub-
lican committee yesterday made two nomi-
nations-James Findley of Mount Savage
and Philip r. Fletcher of Orleans, for road
directors The law requires four nominees,
but only two were voted for at the last
primaries. The republicans had fifty-four
aspirants on their. primary ticket.
