PRETTY CHURCH WEDDING.
Marriage of Miss Lydia Jenson to Eugen,
G. johnson of Minneapolis.

Marriage of Miss Lydia Jensen to Eugene
G. johnson of Minneapolis.
No social event in this city has been
anticipated with greater pleasure than
the marriage of Miss Lydia Jensen, eld-
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Andrew
Jensen, to Mr.. Eugene 6. johnson of
Minneapolis, which took place at Evan
gelicai Lutheran church at o'clock on
Wednesday evening. The details of the
occasion had been so carefully planned
that every part of the arrangements
fitted so nicely as to make a complete
success OF this most pleasurable affair.
The church was most handsomely dec
Grated 10 green and white, the altar be-
ing banked with plants, ferns and white
carnations. The ushers were Adolph
and Andrew Jensen, Chris Hoen and
Nordahl Gunderson of Stoughton. The
bridal party approached the altar to the
strains of the wedding march played by
Miss Winifred Coon. The bride was
most beautiful in white lace gown over
chiffon and taffeta with pearl trimmings
She wore veil and carried a white
prayer book. She was attended by her
sister, Miss Clara Jensen, as maid of
honor, dressed in pink and carrying pink
roses. The bridesmaids were Misses Hat
tie and Hilda Johnson, twin sisters of
the groom, Miss Idella Haugen of De-
corah, Iowa, and Miss Mamie Gunderson
Of Chicago, who were dressed in white,
carrying bouquets of pink roses. The
groom was attended by his brother,
Perry johnson, as best man, both in con-
ventional black. Rev. j. Linnevold read
the impressive marriage service which
joined two happy hearts in wedlock
A reception held at the home of the
brides parents Immediately followed the
church services, where nearly one hun
dred relatives and friends gathered to
offer congratulations and best wishes.
The decorations OF the home were again
of tasty designs of green and white. A
AOAA NooASO "OOdAuS AlAuOiJ PAOPoAOA
under the direction of Mrs. Bowerman
as cateress, was served by Misses Beulah
Heddles, Josephine Bates, Helen Coon,
Myrtle Maltpress, Venice Thompson,
Leo Thompson, Henrietta Lintvedt, Sena
Hauge, Alice Mabbett and Amanda Pet
erson. The Mandolin Club was present
and discoursed music during the recep-
ton.
The bride and groom were the recip-
tents of a most extensive line of wedding
presents, embracing some heirlooms of
priceless value. No June bride ever had
a more suspicious wedding day than
Miss Lydia Jensen or carries to her new
home more sincere we'll wishes for future
happiness.
The groom is prominent business
man in Minneapolis, which city will be
their home after brief wedding trip.

Tobacco Notes

Edw. Drotning of Stoughton and AL

ager of the American Cigar Co.. visited
the Edgerton branch Wednesday
One hundred tobacco assorters are
wanted at the NJ. F. Green & Son ware
house in GAINESVILLE. They have six
months steady work on hand.
Brodhead Register: We have infor-
nation to the effect that the contract
has been entered into for the making of
the immense amount of brick for the
erection of the large storage warehouse
to be built by the American Cigar Co.
in this city this summer. The first Sec
ton of the warehouse will provide stor-
age for six thousand cases of tobacco.
and this doubtless will be added to in
the course of year or two. The Amer
lean Cigar Co. have in mind the enlarge
ment of the plant of equal capacity at
their plant at Stoughton, which handled
nearly 10000 cases last winter, and
which paid out more than $4,000 in
wages The brick is to be made at the
Edgerton brick yards
julius Marqusee, leaf tobacco dealer
of New York, passed short vacation at
Lake Kegonsa, guest of Henry Miller
at Ravenswood Park. After capturing
about fifteen pike and two fine perch he
talked shop" He left on an evening
train for Dayton, Ohio, and goes from
that point to New York. Mr.. Marqusee
declared that the unfavorable tobacco
weather extended from Wisconsin to
New York, Ohio and Connecticut being
in line with the badger state. The sea-
son is late everywhere, and consequently
the quality of the weed will not be as
good this year as it was in 1906. He had
never in all his tobacco experience
known as late crop to be as fine as that
which matured early. Mr.. Marqusee has
warehouses in GAINESVILLE, Wis, Dayton,
Ohio, Lancaster, Pa, and New Milford,
Conn, with the home Office in New York
city.

HEARD ON THE BOURsE.

Really active floor traders are be-
ginning to show more impartial at
titude on the market position. Where
they had been inclined to sell on any
lily the street is full of bears and at
this level rallies are apt to be very
sharp. In normal connections the bear
party would not be considered a strong
one but 1t is not likely to be in serious
danger until common houses are in a
position to carry stock for customers
In this respect the position is improv-
ing daily although rather sIowly.-Dew

J. f. Sherwin today announced his
suspension on the consolidate stock ex-

reads: situation here steadily improv-
ling. This applies to National banks as
we'll as savings banks. Think a week
will be the last of the acuteness.

! I would rather buy Reading than any
stock that I know of on the list for
various reasons. not the least Of which
is that it is the only rail stock I know
OF that has a really good chance of in
creasing its dividends this winter
Miller.
If you look over the figures of the
earnings of the various rails of the last
six months you will find that it is the
passenger business that has played
havoc as the passengers are demand
ing increased luxury for smaller gross
revenue.
This affects Reading very slightly
as the gross earnings of the road for
the current year have been derived UP
to 80 per cent from miscellaneous
freight traffic. Reading should grad
Iually work up to and increase par be-
/ fore we are much older.
Town Topics-While we look for a
rather strong market this morning
under the Washington plans we would
regard any rally as affording good
chances to get rid of long stocks if not
indeed to go short of the active lead
ers. We can see nothing in the gen
eral business and financial situations to
| encourage buying at this time. The
passing of dividends by industrial
| concerns and the laying off of mer
| by the thousands in various parts OF
the country will be calculated TO en-
large liquidation that is sweeping away
| prices. as well as TO cause a spread
Of desire to withdraw bank deposits.
Financial bureau-We regard North
ern Pacific, Union Pacific and Reading
as the best purchases whenever weak
having pointed out that they are the
best to lead up rallies. There is GOV
ering in st. Paul on the news that +:
taking advantage of the increasing
supply of labor the company has added
