MARRIED.
Altnan-Matthew.

Mr.. Virgil L. Altman of South
Bend and Miss Mary A. Matthew
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Matthew of this city, were mar
ried at the Culver M. E. church
Wednesday morning, June 10, by
Rev. Mr.. Nicely.
An elegant wedding breakfast
was given them at the hotel by
the parents of the bride and the
happy couple spent the day on
the academy grounds, where the
closing exercises of the school
took place.
The bride is one of the promi-
nent young ladies of this city,
her home having been here for
several years, but most of her
life has been spent at Culver and
she decided to be married in sight
of the beautiful lake which was
the delight of her childhood days.
Mr.. Altman is a steady honest
working-man and has a home
ready for his bride. 1t was COM
pletely furnished before their
marriage and there in South Bend
they will be at home to their
many friends.

INSTALL GASO-
LINE ENGINE.
Plant is Equipped With 4 Horse
Power Harvester.

The Tribune office has recently
added to its complete mechanical
equipment, new gasoline engine.
lit is of the four horse, horizontal
pattern, manufactured by the In
ternational Harvester Co. of Chi
cago. Power had before been
furnished the plant by an 8 horse
power gas engine. Although
there rs a forty foot line shaft,
with three countershafts, a large
and a small cylinder press, two
Gordon presses, folder, stitcher,
and linotype machine to be oper-
ated, the new engine rated at 4 h.
p. does the work to a nicely and
has plenty of power to spare.
1t was hard to find an engine
that would stand up reliably un-
der the constant run TO which an
engine is put in this office. Sew
eral makes from four to ten horse
power have been tried during the
past two years, but with unsatis-
factory results. The Internation-
al Harvester Company engine has
been working about eight hours
per day for two months and has
given complete satisfaction with a
saving OF about 55 per cent. in
fuel over its predecessor. The en-
CINE does not overhead as many
do, lubrieates itself perfectly, runs
smoothly
All parts on the international
Harvester Company engine are so
arranged as to be easily accessible
for inspection, and any one piece
can be removed without disturb
ing other parts. Besides being
powerful, the engine is construct
ed on neat and attractive lines.
All of the parts on which any
wear is thrown, are constructed
heavy and reinforced, which pro-
duce the long steady wearing of
the engine.

TENDS TO OPTIMISM.
Return to Work of Large Bodies
of Men Cited by Dry Goods
Paper.

What the tendency in business
circles as a whole is toward. a
spirit of optimism is gradually be-
coming evident" says the Dry
Goods Economist, and continues :
AT various conventions OF
business men held within the last
wee or two confidence in the inn
mediate future has certainly been
the keynote. In word, the gen.
eral consensus of opinion seems
to have been that times are
growing better"
mo more angible evidences of
improvement could be asked for
than those offered by the return
to work of large bodies of men
hitherto for some time unemploy-
ed. As is we'll known, larxe man.
ufacturing plants which had been
Temporarily shut down have now
resumed.
at may be urged that such re-
sumptions are not altogether on
the old basis as regards wages
and hours. For instance, while
mills in Fall liver nave resumed
on full time, these mills are by no
means paying the high rate of
wages that had been in force pre-
vious to their shutting down. On
the other hand, it must be remem-
bered that the rates which had
prevailed were extraordinarily
high. Therefore, in reality there
is cause for little else but encour-
agement in these assumptions.
THAT some merchants are now
getting ready to buy more largely
than they have for some time $
indicated by the action OF a big
St. Louis house, which this week
sent twenty of its buyers to the
New York market. We know al
SO OF many other retailers who
feel very CHEEKY as some of them
have for some time been saying
that until they had reached New
York and had heard some of the
pessimistic talk, whose existence
in this market we recently criti-
cised, they knew of on reason
why they should not buy as heav-
lily as they ever did.
Since that time the continued
spell of seasonable weather has
tended toward the general en-
couragement of retailers through
out the country, and one of the
main things needed 20 keep af-
fairs moving in the right direc-
ton is a continuance of season.
able weather conditions. This
will also have its natural good eff
feet upon the crops, which now
promise to be unusually bounti-
full"

PRODUCTION OF GOLD IN 1907
Years Total Estimated $2,701, 900
Less Than in 1905.
TransvaaI Maintains It's Position as
Leading Producers aRd IL Alone
Shows Large Increase.

The first estimate on the worlds out
put of gold in 1907 has come to hand;
it shows that production OF this pre-
cious metal, which, since the Boar war
had increased with remarkable rapid
ity, received its first setback last year.
According to the Engineering and
Mining Journal, the total OF gold out
put, which, In 1904 was S349, ,OSS coo,
IN 1905 $37S.4lI, 900. and In 1906 s405.-
931 600, reached last year only s40S.-
23O, 900. a decrease Of 81 70l, 900, or O.6
per cent from 1906; but still an increase
of S24,Sl700O, or 6,S per cent over 1905.
The Transvaal, according TO this au-
thority, maintained its position as the
leading producer. and was, moreover,
the only one showing a large increase.
The United States again comes second,
but showed a loss in production Of
nearly $4,000. coo. The mines of Aus
tralia reported a considerable loss as
with the preceding year.
while Canada lost nearly a million in
British Columbia. and there was a
further decrease In the Yukon, which
is still in the period Of transition
though q gain is anticipated in the
current year. In India, one or more
of the large mines of the Kolar dis

The recent renaissance of forestry is

its limitations. 1t is difficult to persuade
