MCKINLEY - McELROY. PER,
KTNS- - A quarteae. OF
Oskaloosa young people figured in a
happy nuptial event at Des Moin cs
Tuesday afternoon, when Miss Roxey
McElroy and Miss Pearle McElroy, sis
tiers, became Mrs. Walter Mckinley
and Mrs. Clyde Perkins. The cere-
mony was performed at the residence
of the Rev. Charles s. Medbury, of
West Des Moines, at four o'clock p.
m, in the presence of small company
of near friends. The young people
left Immediately for their homes in
Oskaloosa and they arrived on the
nine o'clock Rock Island train, hoping
to reach quiet and safety before the
report of the event had reached their
friends, to whom the announcement,
of the double wedding was to be a
surprise. The news was a surprise all
right, but it came to town long before
the arrival OF the young folks. An
Oskaloosa gentleman CHANGED to be in
the court house at Des Moines when
the boys went in to get their marriage
licenses. They were seen and recog-
.nized. The gentleman told his daugh.
ter of the event about to transpire
and she Immediately telephoned to
friends here of the double wedding.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley and Mr.. and
Mrs. Perkins were therefore not pre-
pared for the surprise that met them
at Evans. A company of their young
friends had reached that place by
means of the train bound for Des
Moines, short time before the arriv-
al of the passenger bearing the wed.
ding party. The reception was wor,
try of the occasion and every one on
the train knew that a wedding had
taken place. Another unlocked for
demonstration occurred when the
young folks reached the Oskaloosa
station, where another crowd was in
waiting. The glad news had spread
over town and the friends of the con,
Ispirators were at the depot in mum,

out of town act. They were escorted

Economy is the slogan Of the session
and various committees have been
going over the estimates of the various
institutions with view to scaling them,
sometimes with representatives Of the
institutions. There is room for the
suspicion that some of these represent
atives, wise from experience, have put
in estimates that will stand scaling.

FIVE BRICK BUILDIN GS
That Number of Substantial Business
Blocks For Leavenwortf

The summer Of 1909 will see a
greater number of Improvements than
any year in its past history. 1t is
now pretty well settled that five brick
business blocks will be built the COM
ing summer. For some of them, plans
are already drawn and contractors are
now engaged in making figures.
Mike Fitz will erect a two story
brick business house on his lot adjoin-
ing the Elliott bulldog. 1t will be
thirty feet wide and not less than
eighty feet long. The Leavenworth
Mercantile Co., with its rapidly ex-
panding bushes sfnds itself crowded
for room to display goods and has de-
cided to begin the erection of an ad-
dition to its present building 30xl00
adjoining the building occupied at
present. Messrs. Adams & Carr at
present occupy the lot with a small
frame Office building.
E. A. King is perfecting his plans to
put up two story brick, 30x100 on
the corner opposite the bank where he
is now engaged in the feed and grain
business. This is one Of the very
best corners in the town. J. w.
Elliott bought the lot between the
opera house and the c. M. King
building, occupied by the City Drug
store, last fall, and will fill the gap
with a handsome two story brick.
Messrs. Debord & Mccoy will build
brick on the two lots recently pur-
chased on Front street adjoining Mrs.
Shortly's rooming house. 1t will have
a frontage of 90 feet and depth OF
100. Whether it will be one or two
story has not yet been decided. Their
furniture business has expanded so rap
idly that more room became an i'm
perative necessity. The senior mem
Der Of this firm departed for Chicago
and other eastern points and will be-
fore he returns buy several cars Of fur
niture and possibly car Of stoves.
All the buildings above mentioned
will be elected on Front street. There
is some talk thai the Mill company
may erect building on the two lots at
the corner of Ninth and Commercial
streets, and if they do, it will be some
thing that the town can be proud Of.
The Lamb-Davis people have the rep
utation of never doing anything by
halves. There is a reasonable proba-
bility that other buildings may be erec-
ted but so far those mentioned are al
that may be considered certain.
