WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
If Furred and Coated, It is q Warn
inc of Trouble to Come.

IL Furred and Coated, it is q Warn
ing of Trouble to Come.
When it is the morning after the
night before, you do not have to look
at your tongue to know that the stom-
ach is upset, the head is aching with
a dull rhythm, and that all the world
looks black and dreary.
1t may have been lobster Newburgh,
Welsh rarebit or some other tasty dish
that looked much better at night than
the morning after. There is no need
to look at the tongue thermometer then
for, symptoms of trouble. You natur-
ally go to your box of Mi-o-na stom-
ach tablets, and with one of the little
BELIEVERS bring JOY and gladness to the
physical system.
The real time to watch the tongue
is all Of the time. If it is coated with
a white fur, or possibly with dark trim
mings, even tho the stomach does not
tell you by the acute pains of indiges-
ton that it needs help, yet the coating
shows that you are getting into bad
way and that there is need of Mi-o-na.
Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, so re-
liable in it's curative action upon the
stomach that Mcbride & Will, the local
agents, give an absolute guarantee
with every 50-cent box they sell to re-
fund the money unless the remedy
gives absolute and complete satisfac-
ton.

found it advisable to take in part
ner upon whom some of the cares and
responsibility Of the company's affairs
will devolve 1t will also enable them
to carry out long contemplated plans
for its further improvement and de-

endeavor in every way to merit the
continued patronage Of all old patrons
and many new ones.

Salesman Held for Issuing Bad checks
Released from Jail.
F. H. Christian, representative OF
the Medical Chemical Company, of
South Omaha, who YVES arrested six
weeks ago for having passed checks,
which afterwards proved to be value
less, was released from the county jail
this morning. Christian left the city
soon afterwards. The grand jury in
vestigated Christians case but it did
not deem there was sufficient procur-
able evidence to warrant returning a
bill charging either forgery or obtain
ing money by false pretenses.
No charge has ever been filed against
Christian, it being at his request that
he be held in Jail without that for
mality until he "made good" the checks
that he had passed, and which had
been returned by the Cedar Rapids
bank, on which they were drawn, as
no good. These checks, of which
there were two, were for little less
than $40. Soon after his arrest Chris
tian received a check for $50 from his
employer, and endorsed it so that the
other checks might be taken up. When
this check was sent to Omaha to find
out If it was good, payment was

MISS &H0RIH|LL
BECOMES A BRIDE
Wedding Entirely Unexpected
to Friends Here Was Cele-
brated December "a
FORMER PUPIL NOW HUSBAND
Miss Lillian e. shorthiII, Widely
Known in Iowa as High School In.
structor, is Now Mrs. Charles A..
Mann Husband is a Senior in
University Of Wisconsin.

Information to the T.-R. from Mill
Waukee, Wis, today contains an an
nouncement of a wedd ng that will
doubtless prove great surprise to a
host of Marshalltown friends. Miss
Lillian e. Shorthill, former teacher in
the public schools of this city, and also
former assistant principal in the high
school, is the bride, and her husband is
Mr.. Charles Z. Mann. of Milwaukee,
consin, at Madison.
A SchooIroom Romance.
The wedding is the elimination of
pretty school room romance. where the
pupil fell in love with his teacher Miss
Shorthill has taught mathematics IN
the West Side high school at Milwau-
kee for the past nine years, and among
the students in her classes was young
Mann. The love the pupil bore for his
teacher was more than a boyish one,
and the admiration of the teacher for
the pupil, and his capabilities easily
developed into love. Mr.. Mann, now
grown, pressed his suit, and was ac-
cspted. The wedding took place dur
ing the holiday vacation on Decem-
Der "a, at the home of Miss Shorthilrs
cousin. Mr.. ]. w. Shortllill, at Stock
ton, Kas.
Wedding Kept Secret.
Because Mrs. Mann expected to re-
sign her position in the schools. and go
to Madison to join her husband on
January 1, no announcement of the
wedding was made at the time. The
superintendent and principal of the
school however, have refused to can
eel Mrs. Manns contract. and Insist
that she continue in her present ca
pacity until the end Of the school year,
July ]. This being the ca Sc no annouce-
ment of the wedding has been made.
The wedding was a very quiet affair,
due to the recent bereavement in the
Shorthill family, in the death of Mrs.
Shorthill. Mr.. Shorthill, the brides ia
Their, was not able to attend owing to
i'll health, and it was also on account
of Mr.. Shorthill's health that the we'd
ding was not solemnized at the Short
hill home. aS.s
Mr.. Mann is a fine young man. and
is now in his senior year in the Uni
versity OF Wisconsin, where he is TAX
ing a course preparatory to becoming
a chemical engineer. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mann will make their home in Madi-
son.
Bride Well Known Here.
The bride Of this unexpected event
Is exceedingly well known in this city,
which has been her home since girl
hood. She was identified with the
schools Of this city for a number of
years, having been principal Of the
old Second ward, now known as the
Rogers. later she taught in the Sioux
City high school, and al Portland, Ore,
and during more recent years has been
at Milwaukee. Mrs. Mann is one of
the finest of women, ard is one of the
best teachers this city has ever had
connected with it's schools. While her
friends here will be surprised at the
news of her marriage. all will be
pleased, and will unite in wishing her
every happiness.

Movement Under Way Which
Would Allow Club to Own
Its Golf Course
TO FORM BUYING COMPANY
The Plan contempIates the orsaniza-
ton Of Company Which WquId Pur'
chase Land to Be Leased and
Eventually Bought by tho Club =
Objections to Present Location.

A movement. which is being dis
cussed by Country club members. and
which contemplates possible removal
of the club from It's present home and
the purchase of land for golf course
and other club purposes, will be the
most important business to come up
before the annual meeting of the club,
to be held in the east court room next
Tuesday night.
A plan has been proposed which will
furnish an easy method for the com
pany to buy land, and eventually own
it's own grounds. AT the present time,
and ever since its organization, 1t has
leased sixty-nve acres q mile and
one-half northeast of the city
Would Form Purchasing Company.
The movement on foot is to organ
ize a stock company, and incorporate
it for the purpose Of buying suitable
land. The intention Is that the stock
nOlueTS OIL lHlS company SIlouAu W dS
far as possible members Of the Coun-
try club. This company would be
formed and the ground would be
bought for the sole purpose of leasing
1t to %sa Country club at a rental OF
6 per cs on the Investment, giving
the County club the privilege Of pur-
chasing the land, at cost price, at the
end of period Of perhaps five years.
In case this option was not exercised.
it would Of course expire, and the sole
title to the land would be vested IN
those who bought 1t.
Committee to Choose Grounds.
Should this plan receive considera-
ton a committee will be appointed to
investigate land, with view Of pur"
chase. Should purchase be made 1t is
probable that the club grounds will be
moved from their present location
which in some respects is undesirable.
The present location is low, and con-
sequently damp, during the season OF
heavy dews. The golf course could be
greatly improved were the natural lay
Of the land more rolling, instead OF
flat as is the present course.
Some members of the Country club
have already expressed willingness
to take up the plan. both because iof
the investment which 1t offers, and for
giving the club permanent home. The
lease on the present grounds expires
January /. 1910.
