Wedding Bells Ring Today.

Two of our best young people will
join hands in holy wedlock this We'd
nesday evening at 5 80 O'Clock, when
Rev. DR.. M. Willett will pronounce
the words which will unite for life
Mr. Frank Herbert Reum and Miss
Sarah Lang Montgomery. The cere-
mony will occur at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. M. HI.
Montgomery, on Maple Avenue, in
the presence of about fifty relati yes
and intimate friends. They will
leave on the evening train for Chica-
60, Milwaukee and eastern points, and
after a two weeks honeymoon TRIP
will return to DEBORAH, being at
home in the Tomann residence on
West Water street.
1t is union which is particularly
gratifying to their friends, which in
cludes practically the entire city.
Born and reared here, both in estima-
BILE families, they have had more than
ordinary advantages and made good
use of them. The bride possesses an
abundance of those charming virtues

A Mail Order country.

"We would like to see one Kansa.
county settled entirely by the mai
order people, and see what would hap
pen. The stores would stand it as
long as they could and then move
away. Banks would close theiI
doors. The newspapers would have tC
quit. The hotels would have to go
out of business. the merchants move
away. schools and churches dwindle.
Sidewalks go to wreck, buildings be.
come vacant, Imprinted. dilapidated
strangers would take one look and
flee. Isn't that precisely what would
happen if an entire county was pop
ulated with people who bought every
thing in Chicago. Who would buy a
farm so located that he could not
drive TO some sort of town? A sane
man wouldn't take such land at hall
price. Be friend to your homo town
and it will be friend to you. -

overcome any form of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and 5ystem all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once sucn symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.

make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.

gradients from any good pharmacy

ounce Compound Kargon, one ounce

drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department
| if not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail TO use this. if you are
| affected. 81

En- Route From Chicago to Wash
irqfon.

Norfolk, Va.-Among all the shows on
the War Path at the jamestown EXPOSE
ton on Hampton Roads, near Norfolk
Virginia, it may be safely said that,
while they are all good, none will excel
the ''lOl Ranch" Wild West Show. Much
has been written and said of this Won
derful Western production on the shores
of famous Hampton Roads, but the half
has not been told. nor could it be COM
pretended if told. 1t must be seen to be
appreciated. To bring the push, vim,
dare devil escapades of the plains into
the midst of the staid, old, aristocratic
East, and show them as they are beyond
the Mississippi, is in itself daring
feat
By way of further exploiting this
Wild West Show, Little Wolf" a full
blood Sioux Indian Chief, left Chicago
on horseback Monday morning, May 9Th,
and is now riding to Washington to ex-
tend personal invitation to President
Roosevelt to be present at the opening
Oh TIE 'lOl ISduCn W iiu w Sl phoW vi
the afternoon'of May Goth.
There is no wager connected with the
ride. nor are there any particular plans
or rules laid down by which the Indian
must ride or abide. He is simply &c
make the ride from Chicago to Wash
ington City on his broncho, to meet the
President and extend the invitation. OF
course, being arrayed in the usual para
phernalia of an Indian Chief, he will at
tract no little attention en- route.
Colossal in size and interesting and
thrilling from star to finish is the great
"l0l Ranch Wild West Show The c.
w. Rex Company has provided field al
the grounds that is the size of two city
blocks, 80 that there will be plenty OF
room in which to give this magnificent
exhibition.

pretty big one, but this is the capacity

TARIFF DEAL WITH FRANCE
United States Willing to Treat French
on Same Basis as Germans.

Washington, May 1.-While the
recommendation from Ambassador
White at Paris to the effect that a
tariff commission be appointed by the
United States to endeavor to effect
an arrangement with the French gov
eminent, such as vas made in the
cast of Germany, has not yet formally
come before the state department, II
can be announced authoritatively that
II the French government desires such
a commission there will be no opposi'
ton in Washington.
Moreover, as the agitation in
France in connection with the Amer
lean tariff seems to be based in part
upon a fear that Germany will secure
considerable advantages over France
in the matter of trade through the ar.
rangements which were acted upon
favorably by the upper house in Ber'
lin, it may also be announced that the
state department Is prepared to grant
to France any concessions made to
Germany provided the concessions are
even on both sides.
