University of Wisconsin. He was inter
ested in tobacco culture which brought

ciled with the family of James E. En-
mons Miss Emmons soon realized the
superior intelligence and manhood of the
young Japanese and an intimacy sprang
up between them. She Is in every way
model young woman and he represents
the earnest life of his race They board
ed the 9:45 a. %. train for Rockford and
no one considered the departure an
elopement. Mr.. Canda is a native of
Kobe, Japan, and expects to re-
turn to his native land this fall. The

insisted on being directed to the parson-
age of Methodist faith, his bride being

countrymeD, to learn American business

A Strange Feast.

A curious feast is observed by the
Mohammedan inhabitants of India, in
which the origin Of the custom known
as painting the town red may possibly
be traced 1t is called the Holt and
consists chiefly in the plentiful sprin
king upon all and sundry of certain
red preparation called holi powder. It
stains the white clothes of the natives
with an ugly, dirty looking red that
conjures up before timid eyes dread
visions of bloody fights and CHASTITY
mutinies. The powder is made in two
shades-the one vermilion, the other
rose red-and both are used impartial
~ by the observers of the ceremony,
who delight in bedaubing their faces
with the powders until they look like
strange and hideous denizens of hades
come up, still glowing with the fires
Of that region. Among the better
classes this festival is falling into dis
favor, for it leads to many unpleasant
excuses and had it's origin in some de-
cidedly dissipated scene in ancient
heather history.

Celebrate Their Golden Wedding.

Not many people are permitted to Gel
ebrate their 5Oth wedding anniversary
so it is an occasion worthy OF notice. On
the evening of August Both the pleasant
home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. r. Green was
made merry with the coming together of
relatives and friends from far and near
to celebrate their golden wedding. The
spacious rooms were prettily decorated
with asters of various hues, with golden
rod and golden glow BETTING the occa-
sion. Dainty refreshments we're served
and the evening spent in social converse
till order was called and Mr.. D. L. Bah
cock, in few we'll chosen words, pre-
sented the bride and groom with the
beautiful presents from appreciative
friends, consisting of cut glass, gold
coins and gold lined articles AS memen
toes of the occasion. Many went away
wishing that fifty years of married life
would leave as few wrinkles as were tc
be seen on the face of the bride.

GAINESVILLE

Supt Murray says that the local street
car line enjoyed the second largest days
business in it's history circus day, carry
ing 1000 people to and from the grounds.
Wednesday afternoon the residence of
Mrs Charles Topic in the town of Cen
ter was totally destroyed by fire and had
the winds been in different quarter the
barns would have gone also. All the
furniture and other articles of value
we're saved through the assistance of
neighboring farmers who FASTENED to
the scene, but who were powerless to do
anything toward saving the structure
itself
That we'll laid plan to scatter 1000
Mexican dimes, worth AZ cents each,
"hung fire" in GAINESVILLE circus day was
due to the vigilance and foresight of
City Marshal Appleby. About ten days
ago there arrived at the American Ex-
press Office bag of coins addressed to a
man whom the management we're unable
to locate. In their distress they called
upon the city marshal and upon examin-
ing the bag and learning that it had
been shipped from city in Texas locat-
ed close to the Mexican border line, at
once coupled this fact with another
approaching visit of the circus. The
conclusion that there was something
crooked in the wind he kept to himself.
Officer Palmer had only short time to
wait before he was on a strong scent
that led directly to one of the side show
ticket stands at the circus grounds. The
ticket seller was taken completely by
surprise and failing to explain why he
had the Mexican coin was discharged by
Ringing Bros. The truth of the affair
is that the ticket seller had been pawn
ing these four and one-half cent values
off on the unsuspecting American pub
lie as ten cent pieces and one can read
lily see that the man would be getting
rich at this rate in very short time.
He has been with Ringing Bros two
years and was considered one of their
best ticket sellers.
