VISITS CENTRAL ILLINOIS
AND RACES FOR A PER
TOD OF ~THIRTY-SIX
HOURS.

From Piper City Gill; Journal:
The most violent blizzard that has
visited central Illinois began early
Tuesday morning and ragged for q
period of SO hours during which the
wind blew with great velocity and
snow fell INCREASINGLY: All day Tues
day, all night and most of the day
Wednesday the storm continued. Over
a foot of snow fell, and this is drifted
very badly, owing to the high winds,
making travel of all kinds very diff
cult. All trains have been delayed
and great difficulty was experienced in
getting them through at all. Yester-
day mornings east bound mail train
due here at 9:47, did not arrive until
nearly 3 o'clock and then it took two
engines to break through the heavy
snow in the cuts, which we're drifted
full. The afternoon train east-bound
was stuck for several hours in a snow
drift just this side of C~hatsworth. On
other roads the conditions were the
same and the mail service was almost
d~emoralized. No Chicago papers were
received here yesterday at oil.
The rural mail carriers were unable
to make their rounds and very few
country people made their way into
town. The village authorities put
their snow pillow to work and sidewalks
were cleared about town, but the paths
were soon drifted full again by the
fierce winds. In some places in thu
village the snow was drifted above thu
tops of the fences. The snow was we
and heavy and easily packed down
That is why it made so much trouble
for the railroads. Yesterday evening
the snow stopped and the weathe
grew somewhat colder. The ther
mometer got down nearly to the zer'
mark last night and the probilities ar
that the snow will remain with US TO
some time.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Hearing that Feb. 22nd last
was to be the silver wedding an
niversary Of Mr., and Mrs. L. A.
jacobson a goodly number of
their friends decided to spend
the evening with them. Accord
ingly secret plans for a surprise
were laid, which fortunately we're
undiscovered, by the genial
couple. About $50 the party
sailed forth from the appointed
place and found Mrs. Jacobson
at home but not expecting COM
pany. After a moments hesita-
ton she decided to invite the
company in and gave them per-
mission to assume the whole
burden of entertainment. Soon
L. A. appeared on the scene and
quickly taking in the situation
extended a hearty and charac-
teristic welcome.
After a pleasant evening of
social intercourse the self-invited
guests served a sumptuous re
past and in memory Of the oc-
casion presented to Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacobson a silver berry set and
an inscribed tray.
At a late hour the merry throng
dispersed wishing the popular
couple many more years of happy

GRAND SUCCESS.

That the 18th annual M. W, A.
ball proved a grand success isl
but speaking Of in the mildest
terms. Never before has there
been such an assembly Of dancers
gathered together in Hope as was
present at the Woodmen annual
gathering last Friday night.
Everybody was in the best Of
spirits and with the excellent
music furnished by the Neville
orchestra the dancers could not
help but have q good time. The
committees did excellent work
in caring for their guests and
lit was we'll into the "wee small
hours" when the dancing ceased.
The ladies of the r. N. A. lodge
are deserving of much credit for
the efficient manner with which
they handled the banquet and.
for the excellent spread. Some
thing over one hundred couples
ate supper. The Woodmen an
nual parties are becoming more
popular each year. nj

THEY ARE NOT MARRIED.
Secured License and Had Ceremony
Performed, All for Nothing.

The blissfulness of Thomas I,
Peone and Rosa Mason. a young cou-
pie who secured license to marry
from County Auditor Clifford, and
who had the ceremony performed in
Tekoa, Wash. will receive a big lar
when they are informed that their
marriage Is illegal.
The announcement Of the illegali-
ty of the proceedings was mailed to
the unfortunate couple from the aud
itor's office today and will doubtless
be received within the next few days.
The illegality of the marriage con-
sists of carrying the license into an
other state to have the ceremony
performed. Under the laws of the
state Of Idaho a marriage license is
the authority for any person to per-
form the marriage ceremony who has
the proper credentials to execute
such ONCE in the state Of Idaho, but
cannot be an authority for a mar
riage in another state.

With the opening OF the Lewis
ton Riparia road and the two daily
trains into the interior of the Clear

but the record established by the

criminal class passing up the Lewis
ten country as an uninviting field
for operations.
For the past several years 1t has
been the policy Of the peace depart
