Frank Darr, young man 81 years
B. Darr, 4O5 North Fourth avenue. had
an unusual wedding at Cedar Rapids
Thursday night. AS far as Darr him.
self was concerned, the affair was not
disastrous, but for his new sister-in
law and her husband of a few brief
minutes the end was far from what
might be termed happy.
Mr. Darr took as his wife Sadie May,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred G..

er daughter, Grace Russell, became the
wife of Charles Raymond Jones, of

There appears to be little apprehen-

made to meet the situation. which

pate that the mines will be closed for

haust the supply that will be on the
market by the last of this month.
Some of the dealers have been max

Up to the present time the Iowa

WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE.
Or. euckner Urges All to Live As Il
Not Be Found Wanting.

is An audience Of 500 was present at
the Methodist services last evening.
The male quartet gave a selection that
was much appreciated by the audience.
and DIR. Buckner spoke from the text.
."Thou art weighed in the balance and
found wanting The historical setting
As the well known incident of the
drunken and sacrilegious feast Of
Belshazzar and his thousand lords. in
the pride and fancied security of the
great city of Babylon. That same night
came the handwriting on the wall,
Babylon fell and Belshazzar was slain.
No one is either SO great and power
ful, or 30 puny and Insignificant, as to
escape the divine weighing. Sometimes
we have balances in which we weigh
ourselves. and other balances in which
we weigh other people. Others have
their balances to measure US; different
coteries have widely differing balances:
different communities have varying
standards. How uncertain and unreli-
able all these humand standards are.
When we weigh ourselves or are
weighed in these false, balances. we are
apt to have a complacent feeling that
we measure up pretty well, but that is
q false security. There are some who
subject all people to a monetary bal
ance; nothing else counts with them.
Others measure all by the standard Of
social accomplishment. or literary and
intellectual attainment. or titled rank:
but insufficient and trivial all these
standards are. Some regard business
honesty and the unfailing payment Of
1ust bills as being the very highest
test, nothing else being needed. All bus
lness honesty is commemorate and nec-
essary, but there are other equally i'm
portant things. There is only one ball
ance whose verdict is unimpeachable
and beyond which there can be no ap-
peal, and in which each and everyone
must be weighed-the balance Of God.
Measured in that scale. how must we
regard many Of the institutions that
we see about us. Gods balance is so
finely made that it can weigh human
thoughts and motives. 1t can weigh re-
pentance. 1t takes account Of faith.
obedience. love for God and man. Not
alone our actions, but the intents of
our hearts are weighed in the scales
Of God Money. clothes, farms. stocks
have no weight in the divine balances.
Let each devote himself to those things
that have weight with God, that it may
not be said Of us today and in the
last day. weighed in the balance and

THE STRENUOUS LIFE
Pulls so Hard on the Stomach it Must
Have Help.


The stress and strain of the siren

makes stomach troubles. Five people
suffer today where one did ten years

before the eyes, hloating, nervousness
sleeplessness and the rlany other
symptoms of Indigestion.
All who are suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at least two
out Of three in Marshalltown and
other towns, should use Mi-o-na stom-
ach tablets. Nothing else is as safe
vet effective; nothing elsa can be SO
thoroughly relied upon to relieve all
troubles from Indigestion as Mi-o-na.
So reliable is Mi-o-na that Mcbride
