heating, plumbing and lavatories was
awarded to Mr.. Connolly for the lump
sum Of $3.3ss.76 with d saving to the
tax payers of $6.44.
From the first appearance Of the
bids as read on plumbing and lava
tories It was thought that that OF
Holt, Dahlby & Riley was the lowest,
but the bid was 50 worded that 1t was
construed to mean that they intended
that bid to be figured along with the
general heating and plumbing and not
to be construed that they would do
the work at that price If awarded the
one contract. Their bid on heating
being the highest of all their bids was
therefor not considered on the plumb
ing and lavatories.
Several of the members expressed
themselves as not quite clear on the
matter after the vote was taken and
the board had adjourned but they all
appeared much relieved and were glad
that the contract was given to home
man. The only thing that worried
any one was whether according to the
advertisement the contract had been
let In proper manner but inasmucl
as they had the power to reject any
and all bids and had let the contract
to the lowest bidder the feeling of
having done the correct thing seemed
to settle down on all present.

Wedding Customs and FrOltcs Tint
Prevail In Holland.
In Holland two weeks before mar
riage takes place cards are sent out de-
claring that the banns have been pub
lished. This Is called an under mar
riage" The card also announces when
the final marriage is to take place. The
wedding itself is small affair. and
the civil marriage is the only one rec
ognized by law. A church wedding is
usually looked upon as a concession to
either fashion or sentimentality and is
called "consecration of the marriage"
The couple enter the church behind the
family members, bridesmaids and 9th
er attendants. They are shown to seats
before the whole assembly. and the
clergyman comes in with two witness
es long after the others have been seat
ed. He first makes prayer. then de-
livers sermon on suitable text.
which usually brings the bride to tears.
After that the couple are married. Then
hymn is sung and the blessing given.
The whole occupies about an hour and
a quarter. Before leaving the church
huge Bible is presented to the bride
groom. During the two weeks of wait
ing between the under marriage" and
the real marriage all the wedding fes-
tivities take place. The happy couple
are literally surfeited with dinners.
balls and theater parties, and all man.
ner of practical jokes are played on the
pair. At the dinner toasts innumerable
are given. and at each the whole COM
pany rises from the table to sound and
touch glasses with the bride and groom.
who never rise. Among their friends
the idea is not to allow the couple a
night of sleep. if possible. before the

Des Moines, T,ec. 16-The Rothwell

principal losers are:

Besides these losses there are fully
forty other small losses, the upper

offices by doctors, lawyers, Insurance

this loss is hard to estimate at this

been accounted for and it is believed
no one lost his life. The big stores on

From a well-informed source 1t Is
learned that the year 1905 has been
the banner year for the Standard Oil
Company as far as earnings are con-
cerned. The disturbances in Russia,
which have prevented the normal pro-
duction of Russian petroleum, have
made the demands abroad for the
American product larger than ever be-
fore. Notwithstanding this increased
business the company has swelled it's
profits still more by steadily advancing
