AT The ALTAR.
Mr.. c. NJ. Barnett and Miss Lima
ROSenfield Married in the
Presence of Many
Friends.
SOLEMN CEREMONY BY REV. B. M. CURRIE.

Last Wednesday forenoon the many
friends of the contracting parties Mr..
G. M. Barnett and Miss Lima Rosen-
gathered in the Baptist Church
to witness the solemn ceremony which
was to make them husband and wife.
The Church was darkened, lamps and
candles dimly burning, the altar beauti-
fully decorated with fragrant flowers
and evergreens, making the church at
tractive to the hundreds who were
awaiting for the coming of the bride
and bridegroom.
While the audience was in waiting,
Miss Martha Hancock sang beautifully,
81 love and the World is Mine" by
Spross, and Sweetheart" by Hawley.
Just as the last notes died the wedding
party reached the church. Mrs. C. M.
Russell, who was at the organ, receiv-
ing the signal, commenced and played
beautifully Mendlessohns wedding
march, as the urshers, Messrs. John
Lee Walker, Fred Hill, j. w.. Flowers
and A. S. Chewing, followed by the
intended bride and groom, proceeded
down the aisls. Reaching the altar,
Rev. B. nj. Currie in a beautiful and
solemn ceremony united the couple.
The bride was dressed in a handsome
gray travelling suit and carried flowers,
the groom in conventional black very
attractive couple, and to all their
friends looked exquisitely nice.
The bride is the eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. 10 Rosenfield and grand
daughter of former State Senator Geo.
Nell. She was born and reared in Co.
lumbia, her pleasing manners and So
cial disposition making her popular with
the entire community. She will be
greatly missed by the young society
people here, who cheerfully commend
her to the good people of Evansville,
Ind, her future home.
The groom is young business man
who travels out of Evansville. who
stands high with the people at his
rune, and who, while on visits to this
place, made many friends in Columbia.
The brides presents were numerous,
handsome and useful, the display pre-
senting beautiful sight. The groom
remembered the bride with a substan-
tial engagement gift and her grand
father Nell was also quite liberal.
The News joins the people of Column
bia in extending best wishes to this
popular couple, trusting that as Father
Time creeps upon them. they may low
ingly go hand in hand, and be as de-
voted in all the years to come as they
were the day their vows were pighted.
Soon after congratulations were ex-
tended the couple left for Louisville
and Cincinnati and will be at their
home, in Evansville this week.

Report of District Conference.

The District Conference of the Co
lumbia District of the Methodist church
which was held Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of last week at Glens-
fork, was great occasion. 1t opened
with large attendance which increased
daily. The tide of spirital refreshing
rose high and all who attended were no
doubt drawn closer to God and were
more determined to serve him better in
the future. There were something
near 100 preachers and delegates pres
ent and the people in and near Glens-
fork turned out in full force.
The reports from the several charges
showed that there had been, since the
Annuel Conference last October, over
600 conversions ard about 500 additions
to the Methodist church in the district.
Also that there were over 100 Sunday
Schools under the direction of this
church, with an increased attendance.
The collections for missions were in
advance of last year and the advance in
preachers salaries was also very mark
ed, nearly all the charges Being in
creased over last year Altogether the
reports showed an increase along all
lines. Much of the credit is due the
excellent supervision of the Presiding
Elder, Bro. Hulse. The following were
elected delegates to the Annual Confer
ence which convenes at Russellville in
September:
G. o Moss, Granville,
H. McBeath, Columbia,
j. M. Smith, Lula, Prin's.
F. @. Land, Atterson,
T. G. Price. Freedom,
Ed Hill, Campbellsville, Alternate.
c. O. Moss was also re elected Law
leader for the laymen of the District,
while B. M. Currie, G. w. Pangburn,
and Emery Pennycuff were elected Lii
censing committeeman. A strong reso-
luton was adopted on Temperance in
which all the pastors and members are
pledged to assist the faithful officers of
the law in putting down intemperance
and bringing to justice all violators of
the local option laws of our counties.
The preaching of the Conference was
of a very high character and the last
sermon which was preached at IL
O'Clock Thursday, by the Presiding
Elder, was Master piece indeed. All
the delegates elected by the Columbia
church were present and many others
from Columbia attended. The general
opinion expressed by those accustomed
to attend these District Conferences,
was that this was the best ever held in
Columbia District.
The Rev. Black, pastor of Glensfork,
and the people there generally, spared
nothing to make the entertainment de-
hghtful, and they succeeded spIendidly

PARROTS CHASE RATS
Occur d'Alene Farmer Uses Parrots
for Pest KillerS-SaveS Hun
dredS of Dollars.

Spokane, Wash, May John
Speedy" Smith, poultry farmer on
Placer creek, in the heart of the
Occur d'Alene mining district in nor
thern Idaho, has stationed several
talking parrots as policemen on his
ranch to drive off hawks and noun
tain rats, and raids on his pens are
now things of the past. The parrots
take kindly to the work and by their
screeching they have forced the birds
of prey and rodents to give the ranch
a wide berth.
The rats were the worst pests and
their raids cost Smith hundreds of
dollars, getting into the chicken pens
and killing the pullets and hens by
biting their Threats and eating their
hearts. Since placing the parrots In
the chicken yards and pens, not a
hawk or a rat has been seen and
Smith believes he has solved a prob
lem that has given poultry farmers
in the mountain districts much con-
Germ during the last five years. Farm
ers in other parts of the district say
they will try the plan.

in which its radio-activity would d.
minish by half-would be 143 days.
Nine. Curie has verified the prediction
with a difference Of only three days.
Mime. Curie and her husband had
many trials before they gained fame
and wealth. At the start the material
situation Of the young couple was not
very bright. Neither had any fortune.
and with the few thousand francs
which they earned it was no easy task
to make both ends meet at the close
of the year in such an expensive city
as Paris.
So they went out into the suburbs OF
the great capital and established them
selves in the little town Of Bourg-la-
Refine, distant two or three miles from
the walls, and in order to save the
railway fare husband and wife. In all
weathers and at all hours, made the
journey by bicycle from their modest
lodgings to their laboratory in the din
gy old Rue rHomond, where they
have made their important discoveries.
When it is known that the highway
from Bourg-la-Reine to Paris Is paved
much Of the distance and incumbered
in many ways. these goings and COM
ings on "the wheel were not holiday
rides, especially in the case Of the
frail young wife.
Here Nine. Curie did serious work,

her retorts over the furnaces, tending

~ nee more the entire scientific
world is talking Of woman
and her wonderful work, and
once more 1t is Mime. Curie
Of Paris who has astonished the sci
entists.
While Professor Curie was alive
there was a chance that generosity
and affection played some part In his
insistence that in his scientific work
his wife was not an assistant, but an
associate. deserving credit at least
equal to his for the discovery and iso-
lation of radium. Since the husbands
death, however, Mime. Curie has con-
tinued the search for radioactive sub
stances, and now comes the news of
another great addition to the available
knowledge concerning them-the find
ing Of pure pOlonium, possible new
element 400 times more active than
radium.
Many other women have studied
chemistry to some effect, but Mime.
Curie Is the only one Of her sex who
has demonstrated liz this domain Of
science an ability sufficient to RINK
her among its acknowledged masters.
In theory. as in practice, she stands
among the best. 1t seems curious
development Of feminine capacity, but
there is no doubt about its reality.
One does not have to add "for wO-
man" in calling the achievements Of
Nine Curie great

periments with the impure substance.
shows that she has now obtained a
pure or almost pure form of the ele-
ment.
Nine. Curie. who is professor of
physics at the Sorbonne. the Univer-
sity Of Paris, was formerly student
there under the late Professor Curie,
whom she later married and shared
with him the discovery of radium.
Polonium, named from Nine. Curie's
native country. Poland. was the first
of the radioactive substances. ante
dating radium. and was discovered by
her in an impure form in 1898. Later
Professor Marckwald, German in
vestigator, obtained product resem-
bling polonium which he called radio
active tellurium and declared to be a
purer form of polium.
Both are decomposing products OF
radium and come from pitchblende.
Nine Curie declared that her po-
/ lonium, before it's deterioration set in,
had radio-activity 400 times stronger
than radium while Professor Marck-
valid declared that his was 1000 times
stronger at the beginning than radium.
On the basis Of experiments with the
discovered forms it was predicted
three or four years ago that the half
life' of polonium-that Is. the period
