Two More Happily Welded

One of the very pleasant occasions
of the season was that of the wedding
over at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Anciaux in Greeley township,
Audubon county, Iowa, Wednesday
evening, March 81, 1909, when their
daughter Effle e. Anciaux was united
in marriage to Charles +. Sheets.
Promptly at the hour appointed and
while Miss Dollie Anciaux, a cousin
of the bride, played the wedding march
the bridal couple entered the large sit
ting room where the colors were white
and blue, attended by Mr.. Roy Anciaux
brother of the bride and Mics Hazel
Henslsy. In the presence of about
seventy invited guests, relatives and
friends Rev. G.. ID. Wendell. pastor OF
the Evangelical church at Audubon,
tied the nuptial knot and pronounced
them husband and wife. Congratula-
tions as usual we're hearty and full OF
the best Of everything. Then followed
bounteous three-course lap supper
and without question all did justice
as the walters there will be willing to
testify The bride looked her best as
she entered the room carrying large
boquet of bridal roses and gowned in
dress made on the pattern of prin-
cess effect trimmed in net aud satin.
The groom wore the accustomed black.
These are very Industrious and popu-
lar young people, and we're the recipi-
ents of pretty and costly presents,
They will take up their residence at
once on the old Samuel Miller farm,
near Hamlin Station, where they will
be at home to their friends, and with
the best wishes of all. -

Runs Above $1,000

AS the fiscal year of the post-office
department closes with the month of
March Deputy Postmaster Marlin has
been figuring up the receipts for the
year from April l, 1908, to April /,
1909. And he is pleased to find an in
crease of about $500 over and above
the year previous, which makes the
total for the last year something more
than $1,000. This will add another
hundred dollars to the postmaster
salary making it 81 900 after the first
OF July. Commenting upon post-office
matters Mr.. Marlin remarked that not
withstanding the town of Harlan has
reached a total of more than $4,000
which will give them free city delivery
Audubon leads Harlan considerably
in the business'Jf the money order de-

LECTURE TO MEN
Delivered Sunday Afternoon at Christian
Church by Rev Chas G Stout

Mr.. Stout, the Evangelist, who is
holding revival meetings at the Chris
tian church gave lecture to men only
last Sunday afternoon. There was a
good attendance and Mr.. Stout gave
plain, practical and forceful address.
An ancient philosopher claimed that
the study of mankind is man: but the
speaker declared that what is still
more important is knowledge OF self.
Hence he took for his subject "Know
Thyself." When a man knows his
weakness, his moral power and temp
tations, his limitations and his posi-
bilities, he is better able to meet the
difficulties, resist the temptations and
to overcome the enemies of an upright
and righteous life. Christianity calls
forth the best there is in man. Temp
tation is not sin, but yielding to it
brings guilt and condemnation. The
birds may fly over our heads but we
needn't let them build nests in our
hair. Some men are controlled by a
depraved human passion. Julius
Caesar was a man of remarkable
strength and wonderful resources. In
ten years he created an army, met the
enemy, destroyed million men, cap.
tured a million and put another mil
lion TO flight. But he deserted his
army and lost his power to crafty an
uncomfortable passion. Many men to-
day are failures and criminals for
similar reasons. The speaker coudem-
ned in the severest terms false mod
esty in dealing with young people and
IN having double standard of moral
ity for men and women. He spoke of
set of men found in most comrhuni-
ties who stand about the corners and
tell obscene stories. He likened them
TO buzZards that fill themselves with
carrion and then fly over the country
belching forth their filthy excrescence,
befouling the beautiful plants and
flowers of the landscape beneath. Mr..
Stout made strong plea for clean
minds, pure hearts and consciences
void of otlense toward God.

some of the government land contain
ing thick beds of coking coal. In this
field thousands of acres would run
over the maximum of $500 an acre, as
opposed to the $40 minimum price, and
SIS under the former valuation scheme.
Dozens of other equally striking in
stances of comparative valuations
might be cited.
The conservatism of even the pres
ent valuation plan is clearly shown
from an examination of the records in
several cases where land was fraudu
lently entered by certain companies,
and in which suit for recovery of land
and damages was instituted by the
government. In one instance of this
kind of coal company secured tract
of land through fraudulent entries
paying $50 an acre, however-and in
stituted mining operations. The COM
pany has settled by paying the gov
eminent eight cents a ton royalty for
all the coal mined and would have
gladly accepted the privilege of being
allowed to continue the mining at this
rate. This, however, was not possible
under the law. In this case the gov
eminent received the original $40 an
acre, as well as $31, 900 in royalty for
the partial working of the coal on the
seventy-four acres involved and has
got back the land. Had the company
been permitted to mine out the coal,
including that left as pillars, the re-
turn to the government would have
been $3.50 an acre. Under the present
scheme of valuation. this land would
have been sold at $40 an acre.
Not only are the prices determined
on the basis of the present plan be-
lieved to be not excessive. but a high
er valuation would have been very
properly approved by Secretary Bal
linger, were it not for the fact that
the coal land law limits the coal land
that may be acquired to an acreage
below what mining company needs
for economical operation. 1t is evil
dent that a purchaser could well af-
ford to pay a larger price per acre
did the law permit the purchase of the
larger tract
1t will be seen that the present coal
land policy provides for the saving to
the government and the people of
enormous sums of money and prevents
the monopoliZation by private inter
ests of the western coal fields. The
most advanced, scientific and effect
i've methods of classifying and valuing
the nations remaining coal lands,
which still constitute about 10000. 900
acres. have been adopted, and. i'm brief,
the intent of the policy developed by
Secretary Garfield, and now further
advanced by Secretary Ballinger. is
to promote development and economi-
cal utilization and at the same time to
secure adequate returns from these
valuable public lands

in the specialties, which gave the mar
