One OF the most interesting and important
questions concerning Biblical sites per-

between the Zambesi and IimpopO rivers.

covered many shafts OF ancient gold mines

Solomon. His opinion is that no other part
Of Africa could have exported the ivory.

corded in the Bible as coming from ophir.
Against this theory, founded as Il un-
dOubtedly is on very plausible evidence,
Bible students are still likely 10 maintain,
on the testimony OF Gen. X. 20. that Ophir
was a section of South Arabia. Here down
to the time Of Ezekiel the PhGnicians still
landed to procure gold and gems with which
those famous sailors and merchants Of the
ancient world traded in many countries dis
tant from their Syrian shores.
Many erudte writer's have attempted to
identity SOfala. or the east coast Of Africa.

it in India. One OF the most learned essays

enue for the establishment of an indus
trial distillery, will send an officer to
make the necessary estimates, surveys,
etc., and to advise persons desiring to
establish industrial distilleries as to
what is required of them, etc.
In view of the fact that in many
sections of the country local prohibitory
municipal, county, or state laws MAX
ing the production of distilled spirits.
unlawful have rendered worthless, for
the production Of beverage spirits,
many distilling plants, this office deems
it proper to call the attention of those
Interested to ,ine Ia. that Il is en.;yLly
practicable, by making slight changes
and additions to many of said plants,
to convert them into industrial distil-
leries. In many Instances it is believed
that the slight additions necessary can
be made with a small expenditure of
money.
This Office is not in possession of any
information as to the application of the
various state laws to the production of
spirits for denaturation only. In some
states the prohibitory laws have espec-
tally provided for the manufacture and
sale of denatured alcohol. In other
states it will probably be question
for local judicial determination. The
prospective manufacturer of industrial
alcohol should investigate for himself
as to the laws of his own particular
state. 1t is believed by this office that
industrial distilleries can be operated
with greater safety to the government
in prohibition localities than in localities
where spirits are legally sold, for the
reason that in prohibition localities
both the federal and local governments
would be interested in preventing any
of the product Of the plant from going
into consumption as beverage spirits.
No considerable quantity of distilled
spirits can be consumed as beverage
in prohibition community without the
fact becoming known, and with the
fact known that the law is being vola-
ted, the question of suppressing viola
tions will, under the regulations pre-
scribed for Industrial distilleries, be an
easy matter.
This bureau is required to deal with
denatured alcohol in an administrative
way only. Having always heretofore
dealt with distilled spirits as an object
, of taxation, the data relating to the
various sources of alcohol and the
.,irit-producing value of various ma
terials so far collected by this bureau,
are by no means as full and complete
as will be required by prospective
manufacturers of industrial spirits.
The United States department of agri-
culture has given special attention to
the various phases of the industrial
alcohol question, and has issued num-
ber of publications giving the results of
its Investigations. These publications
can be had on application to that de-
partment.
For the information of those inter-
ested, it may be stated that as gen.
eral proposition it is simply a question
whether thing containing fermentable
matter can be more profitably employed
in the production of industrial spirits
than in the production of something
else. The spirit-yielding material in
vegetable matter is its fermentable

PRETTY WEDDING OF
PROMINENT COUPLE
Rev. N. F. Sanderson Takes as
Bride Miss Jennie Foster.
Bride is Charming Daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
"A. C.. Foster Of ludden and Groom is
Pastor Of Hecla N. E. Church.

''But happy they, the happiest of
their kind,
Whom gentle stars unite, and in one
fate
Their hearts, their fortunes and their
beings blend"
The M. E. church of Ludden was the
scene of very pretty wedding on
Wednesday, Oct. 9th, when Jennie
May Foster of that place was united in
marriage with Rev. N. Frederick
Sanderson of Hecla.
Promptly at three O'clock the bridal
party, led by Presiding Elder Hopkins,
of Aberdeen, Rev. Yeoman, of Taylor,
and Rev. Yelling ton, the Ludden pas:
tor, entered the church to the strains of
the wedding march played by Mrs.
j. E. Baker, sister of the bride. The
bride was given away by her brother
in-law, j. E. Baker. She appeared
charming indeed in her gown of white
silk, carrying shower bouquet of
BRIDES roses. Her attendants were
Misses Nina Baker and Sunie Smith.
The groom wore the conventional black
relieved by a boutonniere of white
roses. The church was tastily decor
ated in green and white, the bridal
party standing under an arch of white
bunting and asparagus.
Elder Hopkins pronounced the words
that made the contracting parties man
and wife, using the impressive ring
ceremony, little Reva Smith being ring
bearer.
The beauty of the afternoon and the
assemblage Of friends and relatives
made a fit setting for the scene of this
happy event. 1t is with genuine pleas
ure that we can view the union of two
young people such as this bride and
groom, a couple of whom the commun-
ity may we'll feel proud.
The bride deserves all the compli-
ments she has received on every hand.
She is a great favorite, being known
for her ability, accommodating ways
and beautiful character. She has been
an active worker in church, Sunday
school and Epworth League. and will
be sadly missed at Ludden as we'll as in
social circles. Wherever she may re-
side she will always be remembered by
those who have known and loved her
IN the years gone by. May heavens
choicest blessings attend her and her
husband in all the relations of life.
The groom is promising young min
ister-b bright, energetic and sociable,
as we'll as true to his principles. He
has made host of friends since first
coming to Ludden and Guelph.
A reception was given at the home
of the BRIDES parents, when Rev. and
Mrs. Sanderson met their most intimate
friends. The house was decorated in
green and white, an attractive feature
being green and white candles burning
on each table.
A great many beautiful and costly
gifts, tokens of regard from
friends, were showered upon them.
The appointment of the wedding
banquet was without a fault and
showed culture and taste. The wait
resses were Misses Nina Fawcett,
Vivian and Minnie Robinson.
Rev. and Mrs. Sanderson left Mon
day for Vermillion, S. D., to attend the
M. E. conference, followed by the
wishes for all the real success in life
which they deserve.

PASSED AWAY.
p. J. O'NeiIl Succumbs After Hard Fight
With Disease.

r. J. O'NeiIl Succumbs After Hard Fight
With Disease.
Another familiar figure to Oakes
people has passed away in the death of
P. j. O'Neill, whose death occurred near
midnight on Sunday, October 18th. 1t
did not come unexpected. He has been
a sufferer from tuberculosis for some
years and had been gradually failing in
strength, especially in the past year.
About year ago he moved to Hot
Springs, Ark, in the hope that the
climate would benefit his health,
but he came back in the spring only
worse. The past summer he had been
able to attend to his business most of
the time, but was taken to his bed
about four weeks before he died.
Mr.. O'Neill was a native of New
York state, being born Nov. "a, 1860.
There he grew to manhood and on Sept.
10, 1883, was united in marriage to
Miss Isabella Hunter, sister of Sol.
Hunter, our city marshal, who survives
her husband. Five children were born
t. this union, they being Florence l.,
Matilda (Mrs. John Bolan), Clarence
H., May Belle and Gladys E.
The family came to Dickey county in
1889, first settling on a farm near
Yorktown. Came to Oakes about ten
years ago, where for five years Mr..
O'Neill conducted dray line, selling
out about five years ago to Root G.
Ladd. Since then he has been engaged
in the restaurant and hotel business.
1t was only this year that he remodeled
the New Haven and had the foundation
laid for good hostelry when he was
called away.
Patrick O'Neill was a man of quiet
and unassuming ways, and was liked
by all who knew him. His friendship
was worth much and highly priced by
those who knew him best.
The funeral was conducted from the
Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon
Rev. R. T. Fulton conducting the SER
vice. The remains were laid to rest in
the Oakes cemetery.

REVIVAL OF PEDESTRIANISM.
Feats of OId-time walkers Recalled
by WeSton'S Long Tramp.

The wonderful feat OF walking from
Portland, Ne, TO Chicago. LIS miles.
within > days was accomplished by Ed
ward Payson Weston during. the month
Of November. What makes the feat all
the more wonderful is the fact that Mr..
Weston is siXty-nine years old. he per
formed the same feat forty years ago,
only he required more time then than
now. The fact that the roadways are
much better now than in 1861 may ac-
count for that. Dan O'Leary. another
famous walker. only recently completed
a walk of LEGO miles in 1000 consecutive
hours at Cincinnati, walking one mile
every hour. few weeks later Mr..
O'Leary. who is sixty-three years old.
walked 80 miles in 6 days and defeated
Henry Schmehl, another veteran.
Weston now wants to walk any man
in the world a match race Of LOO or more
miles. His work will no doubt do much TO
revive the sport Of walking, which was
very popular thirty years ago. II only
goes TO prove the great value Of walking
outdoors as a healthful sport. 1t is of sport
that is still popular in England II will
