HAyEDOUBLE WEDDING
But Neither Couple Had Ever Seen
the Other Before Both Anxious to
Leave on Evening Trains, and
Agreed on Double Ceremony.

Double weddings where sisters or
brothers are participants in the ven
lures are not uncommon, but when
neither couple has ever seen the other,
but are married with the same cere-
mony, the situation Is somewhat novel.
Such was the double ceremony late
Wednesday afternoon ut the Metho-
dist parsonage, when Rev. Merle N.
Smith united in marriage Mr.. Jacob
Diedrich, a well-known farme. Of AL
den, and Mrs. Kate Minnie Peterson, of
this city, and with the same ceremony
made Miss Emma Bartlett, Of Colo, the
wife Of Mr.. Burt l.. Roberts, OF the
same place. The weddings were per-
formed at o'clock, and as each cou-
pie was anxious to take an evening
train out of the city, both were glad
for Il double ceremony.
The new Mrs Diedrich IS daughter
of Mr.. Sophus Peterson, Of this city,
and a sister of Mrs. Charles Bates, 204
North Fifth street. Miss Bartlett, the
bride Of the other marriage, is the
daughter Of Z. Bartlett, farmer of
Colo, and her husband, who is a
young farmer, is the son Of U. G. Rob
erts, a farmer living near Colo. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts are well known
in Colo and its vicinity.

A woman suffered long time WITH
severe heart trouble and finally hef

of the trouble. She writes:
"Mv heart was so weak it could not

"Tbe doctor told me that coffee was

money unless 1t gave satisfaction, was
the best proof when It was introduced
that 1t possessed unusual curative
powers. Mcbride & viii took all the
risk OF the treatment giving satisfae-

be the judge.
Later, when Hyomei was used ana
recommended by our Well-known phys
icians and business men ana their
wives as treatment that absolutely
cured catarrh, no matter how serious
or long standing, the sales rapidly grew
and today there Is no other remedy IN
Mcbride & Wits stock that has such

THE FIRST ELECTR0CUTION.
Reaches Were Victims and Edison
Was ExecutiOner.

Joseph II. Adams, in "Harper's Elee-
tricity Book for Boys" in which he de-
scribes many interesting and practical
electrical contrivances that a boy can
make, tells the following story nlustra-
tive of the youthful ingenuity OF Thomas
A Edison:
"a a certain station on the Grand
Trunk Railroad, where Edison was en-
ployed as a telegraph operator, the
reaches were so thick that at night they
would crawl up the partition between the
windows and reach the ceiling, where
they would go TO sleep. During the day
they were apt to become dizzy, lose their
foOthold and drop down on the heads OF
the operators. This did not suit young
Edison, so he devised a scheme for their
destruction. His apparatus was composed
Of two long, narrow strips of heavy tin
foil pasted side by side on a smooth
board. about one-eighth Of an inch apart.
To one strip a positive wire was con-
nected, while to the other a negative
(or grOund) was made fast This device
was arranged across the window casing
in the path the reaches were accustomed
to travel, and in stepping from one strip
OF tinfoil TO the other they were put to
death as quickly and painlessls as the
greatest criminals are now
This boyish invention of Edison's g says
Mr.. Adams, was the first eiectrocution
apparatus on record,
