for the wedd ing of Miss Beatrice
Legs, daughter of Mrs. N. w. Ireys
of tile Imperial, to Stuart w. Wells.
son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wells ol
230 Oak Grove street.
Miss Ireys is the older Of two
daughters and was introduced to
society in 1908, by Mrs. Volney Ireys
at the Hostesses' ball. She is a
graduate of the Central high school
and attended Wells college for Two
yea S and then made a student trip
to Europe, remaining abroad year.
Since her appearance in society she
has been most popular in the younger
set. .#
The marriage of Miss Ireys and Mr..
Wells took place at s O'Clock and the
church was filled with men and
women anxious to get glimpse OF
the pretty bride, who never appeared
more beautiful than in her ivory
satin princess gown and long veil
and the white prayer book she carried
instead Of flowers was in keeping
with her desire for simplicity.
The altar before which the vows
were spoken was almost hidden in
Easter lilies. Tall vases held the
bell like blossoms high above the
palm banked base and large baskets
of Easter lilies were used in the chan
Gel, while tho altar rail was entwlned
with smilax and hedge of palms
was the background for the betrothal
service.
George Fl. Normington was at the
organ and sounded the professional
march as the white vested choir boys
entered and preceded the wedding
party to the altar singing the Lohen-
grin chorus.
Miss Marion Ireys attended Miss
Ireys as maid Of honor and Miss
Florence Wells and Miss Margaret
Wells were the bridesmaids. All
wore exquisite white frocks. but
carried no flowers. q s5 #

party left the church.
Following the marriage the rela-

In section 2l county canvassing

members of this board constitute a

dsney on Real Estate -Legls.
lature Notes. % !

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. l4.-Real
estate dealers report many inquiries
for city lots and residences and al
ready an increase of fully Is per cent
has been made in the selling prices
of city lots and adjoining property.
There is a steady demand for houses
and small stores and there is not an
idle mechanic or laborer in town.
Representative Phelan of Stark
county again points out some of the
glaring defects in senate bill number
ss the primary election bill. Section
gives choice by stickers or wriG-
ing the name of the candidate on thSn.
ballot. and seems to conflict with the
provision regarding the payment of
fees by candidate. w..
In section eight an unjust discrim-
ination is made against candidates
by requiring a heavy fee from all
save the candidate of the minority
party who is allowed to become a
candidate on payment of half fee.
This was the concession to the de-
mocrat..c members of the legislature,
made to insure their support of the
bill, but how it gives the people a
square deal. or how it puts everyone
on an equal footing is hard to see.
The question also arises. would it be
held constitutional?
In section the names of various
candidates are grouped together un-
der the title of Office they wish. The
confusion of voter presented with
an extra large ballot and a large
number of names to choose from, will
be fond worse than with the present
ballot. and in addition to this all
political parties are printed on one
ballot. The voter also must confine
his choice according to this section
to the names III the party column
that he starts in to vote for at the
top. The bill says that the judges
and inspectors of election when hand
ing ballot to a voter shall inform
him that he must vote for candidates
Of one political party and in one COL
umn only.
Section II simply provides for party
designation and procedure about as
now practiced; party to gain a
place on the pri mary ballot must
have cast at least per cent Of the
votes for governor ,at previous gen.
eral. election.
Section IL provides for filling va.
cancies on the ticket by the regularly
constituted committee Of the party
to which such vacancy belongs. no
petition or fee being required.
Section ! gives an opportunity for
evading the provisions Of all the sec
tions. Ia declaring that the statute
shall be literally construed SO that
informalities or failure TO comply
with all the provisions, need not
count against the operation Of the
law. In section l8 which provides for
counting the ballots, no provision is
made to amend or correct a bad form
of pallot. The judges Of the primar-
les in each precinct shallgivea q state
.ment Of the result Of thess nomi-
nations to the county auditor. which
takes the place Of county. conyen-
5tions.
In section 20 there Is no safe guard
against colonizing voters, as clerks Of
the election are only required to:
keep an alpha betical list ofs the names

Thirty Below in Kansas.

The people of Jamestown need not
feel as If they were the only persons
who have been visited with a cold
spell this winter. The telegraph re-
ports are that in Wisconsin, Illinois,
Nebraska. Kansas, Missouri and
Iowa. the mercury has been from Is
to 32 below, the latter mark being
reached in Kansas and Nebraska.
The cold area extends over the entire
country. At Galveston the mercury
stood Is degrees above, and Louisiana
and other southern points have
suffered greatly from the intense cold.
Railroads have been blockaued, and
the reports from Kansas and Okla
homa are that it has been the coolest
weather IN 20 years, and great loss of
live stock has been experienced, and
half dozen people have been frozen
to death in Kansas and Oklahoma.

dishonesty There IS the danger
that threatens this republic, dis
honesty among its citizen. All
other evils are less than this, all
cures for evils are vain Until this
evil is cured, for the whole prin-
ciple of representative government
fails abjectly when the people strive
only to plumber and betray the
people!
IF one of our writers twenty
years ago or even ten years ago
had dared to question the honesty
of the American people, he would
have been counted an impudent
renegade, babbler whose stupid
insults would have aroused only
contemptuous smiles. But to-day
it is different, our eyes have been
opened, and, without surprise
though with dismay, we see able
men commissioned by Our great
to go from city to city,
from state to state, from one
business enterprise to another, with
the sole purpose of proving the
the existence of wholesale corrup-
ton in public and private affairs.
And month after month we read !
-hese CHASTITY revelations until it
seems as if everything IS rotten,
Ill our cities, all Our states, the
whole world of business and |
nance, even our national govern
nent, even our courts. And we
axe it as a matter Of course!-

J. B. SHARPE, Postmaster.

The Junction Citizen published
rather an unusual notice last week.
"A herder on Schreiner's ranch in
Kerr county advertised that he
and his wife could not agree and
that they had agreed to separate.
He tell, that they had been married
ten years, where they married, and
other family history. They have
four children. He will take two
of them and leave her two. He
owns small ranch and bunch of
cattle. He owes $3.50 on it due in
June. He thinks is worth $500
above the debt and he advertises
to give the ranch TO his wife if she
will give him S1100 for his part,
or will take the cattle at so much
per head, she to pay him balance
if any needed TO make up the S1100
for her part. He says if she does
not accept ore of these propositions
the District Court will have to
divide the property He winds up
his advertisement by saying that
on the first of May he will be in
Junction where his wife was then
staying, and next day will start
back with two of the children. and
that after that date she will have
to look out for herself and two lit
tie children. We have seen adj
vertisements of all kinds, but this
certainly takes the cake. = Express.

doubt that thousands of our women
are practically selling themselves
for money i'll marriage and then
selling themselves again for money

that this pressure for riches
