historical east room of the white house,

Cincinnati. 1t was a magnificent we'd

about it. In accordance with the wish

IN Difference to the views of the Presi-
dent, all features were characterized by
simplicity. But it was a rich simplicity.
Great Crowds of Curious.
Crowds began to gather about the
white house at an early hour, and the
services of number of police were
brought into reQuisitiOn. Up to II O'Clock
there was little to reward the patience
OF the crowd. One of the first carriages
to arrive contained Bishop Henry Yates
Satterlee and an assistant carrying q
satchel which contained the Episcopal
Vestments. Then in rapid succession
rode up the handsome eQuipages with the
invited guests.
At quarter of y the guests as
sembied in the east room. Spacius
though it is, the chamber was scarcely
able to accommodate the throng,, which
included, besides the near kinsfolk and
personal friends, vast number Of diplo-
mats, cabinet officers, justices of the
supreme court, members of Congress and
others whose official position entitled
them to the right of entree. The men
far Outnumbered the women among the
guests, as the invitations sent to many
of the officials did not include their
wives or families.
Wedding at High Noon
Promptly on the stroke of II Bishop
Satterlee and Rev. Roland Cotton Smith,
rector of the church which Mrs. and
Miss Roosevelt always have attended in
Washington, entered the parlor and took
up their positions on the right and left

melody and the bridal party were heard
descending the stairs.
There was q hush of expectancy and
every eye in the vast assembly was
turned toward the door. The bride en-

her father. In the bridal party were
Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Cowles, aunt of
the bride; Mrs. Lee of Boston, the

FIRE AT A WHITE FLAG.
Into Mix-up That May Cause
Loads of Trouble.

ORAN, Feb. 1.-THE Echo d'Oran
says that the French steamer Zenith left
Oran Wednesday evening, going to Mar
chica. On her arrival at that port
she debarked five persons who visited
Del Ref, the chief of. the pretender's
staff. Towards noon perceiving the Mo
roccan gunboat Turky, which had been
anchored in the Bay of Melilla leaving
port and coming in his direction, the
captain of the Zenith went on board his
steamer, hoisted the white flag and
steamed towards the Turky. The Turky
thereupon fired a loaded shell, without
hitting the Zenith, which put on full
steam for the Zafarine islands, the
Turky pursuing. The pretender's shore
batteries bombarded the Turky, but
without touching her. The Zenith was
brought up by a blank shot from the
French cruiser Lalando. Soon after
wards the Zenith. the Lalande and the
Turky arrived at the Zafarines, when ex-
plantations were furnished by the Zenith,
which was ordered by the commander of
the Lalande to return to Oran. where
she arrived last evening. The passen-
gers Of the Zenith who were left at
Marchia, will be brought to Oran by the
Lalande.

OLD WELL is GOLD MINE.
EFFORTS TO RECLAIM ABANDONED
RIVER FALLS PIT LEAD TO
PRECIOUS DISCOVERY,
MANY JOIN IN SEARCH.
Farm Bought for $4,000 Now Worth
Half Million-Every Hole in
Ground Is Explored.

RIVER FALLS, Wis, Feb. 19-As
the result of the discovery of gold bear
ing sands in an old well, the offer of a
third of a million dollars for a farm that
sold for $4,000 but three years ago has
been made to a retired farmer of this
city. The farm contains 225 acres and
was sold to Greenleaf Doe for $50 per
acre.
Clean Out Abandoned Well.
While Mr.. Doe was cleaning out an
abandoned we'll an accident resulted in
the discovery of the precious metal The
task was considered to be hazardous
one as the curbing had been placed over
a quarter Of a century ago and was
badly rotted While overhauling the
tube at depth of 1875 feet a sudden
cavern caused men making the repairs
to hurriedly ascend.
The slide displaced several wagon
loads Of dirt. This was taken out, and
while replacing the defective curbing a
second fall of earth discouraged the eff
forts to reclaim the well.
Tenants Children Find Gold.
Mr.. Doe had given orders to fence in
the hole and have it filled in during the
spring in order to guard against acct
dents. But the following day children
or the farm tenant SpleQ the SanQ ana
painful of it was carried to the house.
A large quantity of golden grains was
noticed in it. Some of these were
washed out and upon being assayed
were found to be gold. Another visit
was made to the bottom of the well and
the glittering particles were found to be
everywhere. Mr.. Doe has refused an
offer Of $500 an acre for his farm.
Excitement Is Intense.
The excitement has become intense
and every farmer in the village possess
ing an open we'll is now investigating.
The search has made many wells use
less.
The geological formation of the place
is similar to that covering an area of
fifteen square miles about River Falls
and aside from this tract nothing similar
is found in the state of Wisconsin.
Sandstone bluffs filled with a peculiar
quality of sandstone are the prevailing
characteristics. Glaciers left these in
strange formations which rise several
hundred feet.

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have i'll
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close cOnfine-
consequence the stomach must be treated
In g. natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return to it certain
others. It Is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work of taking up from
the food what Is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge Of
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet GER
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root Queens
IOOU, SGOIl0 IOOG, DlOOUTOOG, M6uUTdK0
root. Then there is Black Cherrybark.
The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined in just the
right proportions, as in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware of the high medicinal value Of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glycerine as solvent and
for the ingredients in varying amounts,
with alcohol.
The nGolden Medical Discovery is
scientific preparation compounded of the
glyceric extracts of the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains no
alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.

Birds and MOSQUITOES.

Birds suffer more than man from the
mosquito" a naturalist said. Fire
quently the mosquito can't get at man,
but birds he can always get at
1.-THE male mosquito is harmless. He
never stings. It is the female who does
all the mischief. Male and female alike
live through the winter.
after the mosquitoes egg is first
Matched, the creature that issues forth
is called a wriggler. The wriggIer lives
in water, in marshy pools, in the pud-
dies and the ooze Of low-lying meadows.
He is like a tiny snake, and he must
come to the surface to breathe.
Hence kerosene as a mosquito eXter-
minator. Ladle out kerosene on a pool of
water and two tablespoonfuls will spread
until they cover effectualy fifteen square
feet. This oily covering is as alright as
q skin. If there are any wrigglers in the
water under it they must die, they must
smother.
''Some think mosquitoes feed on blood
alone This is a mistake. If a mosquito
can't get human blood or bird blood or
animal blood it stabs plants and feeds on
their juices.
How / wish we could convert the
mosquito to an exclusive use of this vege
tartan diet!''-Philadelph Bulletin.

known as Mail Order Houses
Of recent date national conventions of
assoc1a tons representing various mercantile
interests have passed resolutions calling the
attention of the honorable body Of which
you are a member to the evils and sug-
costing remedial legislation therefor.
These Houses have asked that the rate
Of postage on merchandise be reduced.
