SEEBECk BARR
Choteau Paper.

CnOtedu Paper.
A very pretty wedding was that of
Mr.. George Seebeck and Miss Mar
garet Barr on Wednesday evening.
They were married quietly at the
home of the BRIDES mother at 8 O.
Geek p. m. the Rev. George Logan
ffci .ting, and the full ring cere-
money Of the Methodist Episcopal
church being used. The bride wore
beautiful gown of chiffon cloth
with point lace trimming, and car
ried a bouquet Of BRIDE roses, while
the groom was attired in the usual
evening dress suit. The bridesmaid
was Miss Berna Barr. sister of the
bride; she carried large boquet of
pink carnations. The groom was at
tended by Mr.. Kyle Jones. Only a
few guests were invited, those pre-
sent in addition to the wedding party
being Rev. and Mrs. Logan, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. F. Burd and Mrs. w. D..
Jones. After congratulations had
been extended, an elegant wedding
dinner was served. The bridal pair
were the recipients of many beauti-
full presents. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Seebeck are well and favorably
known to the people of Choteau and
vicinity. the former having been for
more than a year the pharmacist at
the City Drug Store, and the latter
being a partner with her mother in
the millinery business. They have
the heartiest wishes Of a host of
friends for long and happy life to-
gether.

LIBRARY NOTES.

The library was open for reading
and reference 80 days and for dis
tribution of books 25 days during
June.
Total circulation for the month
736 volumes, daily average of 20
books of which only 9 per cent.
were non-fction. The juvenile re-
port is included in the above and is
as follows: 257 volumes circulated
of which 80 were non-fction.
Since the close of the schools the
circulation has been diminished very
noticeably and the attendance in the
reading rooms has been less than in
former months. Wouldn't it be well
during the long vacation to spend
some time reading instructive books?
You will find literature Of every
class and to suit all tastes on the
library shelves.
Miss Rose Hunter will have charge
of the library during the absence of
the librarian thru July.

INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Judge Olsen Promptly Grants Injunction
Against Issuing License.

A telephone message from Judge
Laudon, at st. Peter, was received
by Alderman Evans just before noon
yesterday, informing him that Judge
Olsen had affirmed the temporary
injunction issued by him last week,
restraining the mayor and council
of this city from granting a license
to Oscar Bailey running one year
from date of issuance, contrary to
the provisions of the city charter.
Judge Laudon went to st. Peter
yesterday to represent the petition
ers, accompanied by A. C. Dolliff,
City Attorney, who made the argu-
ment for dissolving the injunction.
At this writing it is not known
whether or not the case will be TAX
en- up for decision by the supreme
court. The promptness with which
Judge Olsen gave his decision in
the matter would indicate that he
is not troubled with doubts on the
question.

NEW NORTHWESTERN TRAIN.
Big Improvement in Connections for
Points West of Sleepy Eye.

Commencing last Sunday, new
train was put into service on the
run west from Mankato to Marshall,
under a schedule which will greatly
accommodate the people along that
stretch of road, as well as people
at the county seat who have bust
ness in that direction. The new
train is more properly the extension
Of the run of train No. 5O7, which
has been running between Winona
and Mankato only, but under the
new schedule is running thru to
Marshall, reaching Sleepy Eye at
$40 in the evening and arriving at
11:45. Returning it leaves Marshall
at 7:55 in the morning, reaching
Sleepy Eye at 1915, and we presume
the Redwood train at the latter
place will be held to connect, MAX
ing it possible for southsiders to
visit the county seat and attend to
business between the morning and
evening trains. and get home in
good season for bedtime. The same
train arrives at Mankato at 1925,
connecting with both both north and
south-bound trains of the Omaha.
Heretofore the only way to reach
points west of Sleepy Eye from here
In one day was by the. noon train.
Now one can go by the five o'clock,
take supper at Sleepy Eye and reach
Lamberton or Walnut Grove before
IL o'clock the same evening.
The evening train running east
from Sleepy Eye heretofore has
been taken off. a train from Man
kato arriving at Sleepy Eye at in
the morning. and returning for
Mankato at 9:45.

IN JAIL FOR ASSAULT.

Henry Barger of Paxton town
ship was placed in Jail last We'd
nesday morning for attempting to
kill manager Huske Of the Gilfillan
farm. Barger is a heavy drinker
and dangerous when drunk. His
wife had endured his cruelty to the
limit, and was seeking a divorce.
When her drunken husband came to
their house she fled to Huske's for
protection, and the latter tried to
act as peacemaker next day with
the above result. Barger is to
have a hearing on the 18th.

The elements of tragedy in real
life are often simple. A group
of laughing girls in bathing skirts,
sporting in the shallow margin of
the lake. A pair of mischievous
boys, in glee oyer chance to tease.
And these last having thotlessly
pushed the rude float or raft on
which the girls were sporting out
into deep water, enter the climax of
catastrophe and death.
The victims of this tragedy of last
Monday were SibyI Hughes and
Margaret Yackel of this city. These
two, with Susie Lauterbach, were
on the raft when it was pushed out
into the lake, and all protested, the
Yackel girl frantically, being unable
to swim and therefore more terrified
than the others. The boys were not
aware of the danger of the situation.
and after showing the raft out, were
in no haste to go out and bring it
back. Finally they swan out to
bring the rude craft ashore, but
the raft was tipped down so that
the girls lost their footing and
went into the deep water SibyI
and the Lauterbach girl attempted
to cling to the raft, but the latter
girl, who escaped, saw the badly
scared Yackel girl make a frantic
clutch at Sibyl around the neck and
both went down, to rise again, but
not to safety The boys made some
Intellectual attempts to undo the
terrible mischief, but doubtless lost
their heads in the excitement of the
catastrophe. The cutlery finally at

ney, DR.. Boyd, Ralph Tenney, Hun
ter Burgess and Ben. Everett gave
testimony which made the principal
incidents of the story plain. The two
last-named boys were the ones most
unfortunately connected with the ca
tastrophe. Hunter had only arrived
from Pittsburg two days before,
and went down to the bath house
with Ben Everett, the boy next
door to the Hunter house, and
his story agreed with that of Su-
sic Lauterbach, in the main de-
tails. Ben and Hunter pushed the
raft out into the deeper water, in
mischief, or as Hunter said, Just
for fun" After it had got beyond
wading distance, the boys dove from
the raft toward shore, each time
giving the raft push away from
the bath house. until the raft was
about opposite to the west end of
the boathouse. The boys did not
mean to be cruel, but like the often
duplicated boy who points a gun at
little sister, the result was fatal just
the same.

The jury above named returned
their finding on the investigation
at noon, which was that the two
girls came to their death by acct
dental drowning from the tipping
of a raft, and the jury recon-
mended that Ben Everett and Hun
ter Burgess be reprimanded in court
for their carelessness leading to the
accident.

show very material decline in the
receipts of lumber by river from the
south in the last few years.
The railroads by the rebate system
for years made low rates to all river
points, and the steamers were obliged
to meet them in addition to having to
contend with sandbars through the low
water seasons. Shippers solicited rates
from both the river lines and the rail
roads, playing one against the other.
The railroads usually made the lower
rates, and the steamboat companies in
endeavOring to meet them were ruined.
The st. Louis and New Orleans An
Choir line, the last line of steamers OPP
Grating between st. Louis and New Or
leans, went out of business in 1898.
Captain l. NJ. Mason, for many years
president of the line, says difficulties
resulting from low water in the river
had as much to do with the failure as
the matter of rates. The low water
was caused partly by the lack of eff
fectual improvement of the river by
the government.
At present shipments to New Orleans
by river must be transferred at Mem
phiS and again at Vicksburg. The river
lines are making no attempt to secure
through business, having abandoned it
10 the railroads.
One line having three boats operates
between st. Louis and st Paul in the
midsummer season. confirming its bust
ness chiefly to passenger traffic. Only
one boat, making two trips week,
operates between st. Louis and PEG
ria. in the Illinois river, where in the
early seventies steamers were making
daily trips.
President W. \. Bennett of the Gin.
cinnati chamber of commerce says that
he thinks most important to the utiliz,
ing of the waterways of the cOun-
try is legislation to prevent 4 pooling
of interests or other arrangements that
practically at present prevent compei-
ton between railroads and steamboats,
1t is a we'll known fact that the rail
roads control the inland river traffic.
+. \. Laidley of Cincinnati. an ex.
tensive owner of steamboats,, says:
RAILROAD Relating of late years has
almost paralyzed river traffic. We
could not meet the reductions made tC
shippers by competing lines. The Gin
cinnati and New Orleans Packet line
was put out of existence on this ac
count. In the acknowledgements line
we now run two boats at irregular in
tervals whenever we get a load.

FORCE OF GRAVITY.
What Our Average Man Would Weigh
on Mars and on the Sun.

If the planet Mars is really inhabited
the people who live there must be an
exceedingly nimble race. The average
weight of a man is about 40 pounds,
but the force of gravity on Mars is so
much less than on the earth that the
40 pound man would weigh only fifty
three pounds if he We're transported
there. With such light weight and still
retaining the same strength. an individ-
ual would he able to run with the speed
of an express train. go skipping over
ten foot walls and do various other
extraordinary things. On the moon a
man would he even lighter.
But on the sun our 40 pound man
would have his troubles. Instead of
being an airy individual he would
weigh in the neighborhOod of Il ton and
three-quarters. He would probably
have the greatest difficulty in raising
his hand, for that member would weigh
about 300 pounds.

Aluminium.

Aluminium. it is generally known, is
metallic element found in clay and
is the same material of which rubes,
sapphires, emery and alum are made.
1t enters into the composition of a
large number of other materials, and it
is estimated that in its various COM
pounds aluminium forms about one
twelfth of the crust of the earth. Every
brick in every building is said to lie so
per cent aluminium. 1t is produced by
the decomposition Of clay, which is a
salt composed of silicic acid combined
with aluminium. The aluminium is
separated from the silica by the appli-
cation of electricity. Separation has
never been successfully done in any
other way.-BOston Globe.

A Sandman Titbit.

The inhabitants of the mountainous
districts of Sardinia eat large duanti-
ties of a fermented milk, resembling
koumiss or kephir. 1t is prepared by
allowing the milk of the COW, sheep or
goat to ferment at moderately high
temperature, either spontaneously or
after the addition of bakers yeast, I'M
til 1t thickens into more or less con-
sistent homogeneous mass, at which
stage the fermentation is stopped by
plunging the vessel into cold water.
This product. which has sharp acid
flavor, is eaten either by itself or is
spread as butter upon bread
