April 10th at eight o'clock p. m !.
at the home of the brides parents,
p. L. Carter and wife, occurred the
marriage of their daughter, Lola,
to Charles Owen, son of William
Owen who is one of the old and
respected pioneers of Leroy town
ship.
Although the wedding was a
quiet affair, it was appreciated as
highly as though attended by hun
dreds. The wedding march by the
brides sister, Mrs. Twist, was rem
dered from the soul of the player.
The decorations of the home were
most elaborate. Mr.. Edgar Carter
and Miss Ethel Owen were grooms-
man and bridesmaid.
Rev Wendell of the Evangelical
church solemniZed the marriage.
A fine supper was provided and
served in most genial and stump
tuous manner.
The young people are of the bes1
families in the county and they
have been raised to the years of &C
counta bility with honor to them
selves and ae blessings to their par
entage. They will commence life't
work on the farm that Richard
Owen improved.
Success to you, young friends
aud may you have long ane
happy life is the wish of thu

Harry Polk and his surveyors,
Frank S. Cummins, Don E. Foster,
E. j. Halct, and Thomas McGreavy
arrived in Audubon Sunday eve in
their big automobile from Des
Moines. They left Monday for
Avoca and Council Bluffs for which
place they were headed. Mr. Polk
was out on trip for business and
inspection. He also said no mole
lines would be built until the ques-
ton of franchise on the streets of
Des Moinee is finally settled by the
court of the last appeal. Judge
Mcpherson of the Federal court re-
Gently held that their franchise is
perpetual but not exclusive. If
that decision is affirmed by the
higher court the company will
then be able to get plenty of funds
to extend their lines at pleasure.

 open it's doors this morning. The as sociated banks, upon investigation, | found conditions different from what they expected and have not taken hold of it.
 It was agreed that the other banks of the city would assume the respon-
 sibilty of the company if bond of $1 100000 could be raised The bond
 was to have been secured at 1 o'clock last night, but the Canadian Valley people were unable to raise the amount For the past week it has been known in finacial circles that the crash was near at hand.
 On both Friday and Saturday of last week it was necessary for other banks in the city to come to the aid of the trust company. The bank was capi- talized for $1OO,OOO, and had deposits of $200,000 It is stated late tonight that the depositors and stockholders will be paid dollar for dollar. The bank is known as the "Laboring Mans Bank" and most of the deposits are for small amounts

'matrimony, which is an honorable estate instituted of God, and is to be entered into reverently, sobrly and in the fear of Cod"
 Is not such hideous farce a profane perversion of the marriage rite? And can it be defended by any man or woman who respects re- ligion or the marriage estate? Yet the bands will play, the crowds will be drummed away from the sheep pens and the cane racks in many a county fair this fall in order that the public, the careless ,the mirth- full and unconcerned public, may witness these acts of sacrilege and be amused.

The Crooked House.

On the estate of Earl Dudley, al Himley Staffs, there is curious habi tation known as "the crooked house. It is altogether out of the perpendicu lar and slants toward the south end which is heavily shored up with thick red brick buttresses. These peculiari ties are the result of mining opera tions the under stratum of the earth in these parts being completely honey combed. The clocks on the walls, al, though absolutely perpendicular. as their pendulums testify, appear to tA hanging sideways at pronounced an. gle. A short glass shelf, one end O! which appears to be foot higher than the other, proves to be absolutely level, while in the taproom is table which is apparently slanting,. but on which if round marbles are placed at the seem ingly lower end they roll to all appear ance uphill to the top of the table and fall over with bump.-London Stand ard

THE EXHIBITION WEDDING

With the recurrence of the sea- son of fairs and fall festivals We are beginning to get the freak matri- monial returns, each freak marriage marking some public ceremony more or less grotesque. It has come to be considered as a standard feature of general shows and enter tainments that at least one marriage service shall be performed before the gaping throng as part of the fun. Freak weddings, however. are not limited to fairs or circuses. Not long ago a man and woman were joined in the holy(?) bonds of Southern Missouri. Tnr, was deem- ed sentimentally appropriata inas much as the groom's i"r,neI wife married him on the same grounds. but managed to make the home run before him. In New York the minister, the bride and the bride groom and their attendants put on waterproof bathing suits and enter ed a diving bell of an amusement resort, and there the knot was tied amid the cheering of the mob. ;.
 One of the most important req sons for the prevalence of divorce among a certain class of people is the impression of flippancy associat- ed with the marriage idea. A man and a woman cannot attach the sa- cred importance to such a relation ship when contracted in a balloon or on a merry-go-round as in the solemn atmosphere of home or a church Some people look upon matrimony as some do upon money come easy, go easy-what is there sacred or even serious in a public marriage where occasion is given for every form of irreverenee and blasphemy of the service?
 Let us imagine an honest young man and woman wheedled into con- senting to a public marriage by the promoters of fair. All the romance, the poetry and the beauty of the great epoch in their lives is gone, mingled with the interest in fat swine and big pumpkins. At the hour of their sacrifice to morbid euriosity the shrinking girl and en- Ybarrassed man are led to a platform midway between the tent of the tatooed woman snake charmer and that of the three-headed calf The gaping throug pushes and crowds at the feet of the wedding party. The minister comes forward and repeats the ancient formula:
 Dearly beloved. We are gathered together here in sight of God and these witnesses. to join together 3Ais man and this woman in holy

Gen. Samuel Pearson, the South African diamond expert, who came to Arkansas to inspect the fields of Pike county and report upon their condi- tion to the Eastern capitalists whom he said he represented, has departed from Little Rock one of the most dis gusted men who ever visited this city. He claimed that his anger was en- tirely due to the refusal of Samuel w. Reyburn, president of the Union Trust Company, to allow him to enter upon the grounds of the company, which the financier represents.

I explained to him that I was mining engineer and had had years experience as a diamond expert. I could have finished my work there in two days, as it does not take long to tell from the geological formation of the ground whether diamonds are to be found. I was informed that with out Mir Reyburn's permission it would be impossible to get on the ground, as the place is surrounded with armed men and a Maxim gun. Now l have been shot at enough, particularly throughout the war in the Transvaal, and l am not Mere to take any chances in that respect. Mir. Reyburn told me that his company was not issuing passes and I was turned down. l a1
