Odd Wedding Customs.

The "old shoe" custom is generally
supposed to come from the Hebrews,
and isssupposed to have originally i'm
piled that the parents of the bride
gave up all authority over her.
In Anglo-Saxon marriages the faith
er gave shoe of the bride to the
bridegroom, who touched her on the
head with it to remind her who was
now master. The wedding ring was
used among the ancient Hebrews, prin-
cipally with the idea that the delivery
of a ring conferred power ON the re-
cipient, and thus the wife wearing her
husbands ring shared his authority.

eggs hard, remove the yolks and cut
the whites up with potatoes. To this
add a bunch of celery, cut in small

next term and the total enrolment OF
that school will probably be close to

Discoveries of bodies, half buried
in swamps or washed up by rivers
have been so frequent that citizens
had months ago given up all hope of
finding the wholesale murderer. AS
body after body was found it became
customary to refer to the grewsome
group as the ''floater fleet"
The last find was the body of Hart
berg. which was taken from Indian
slough Wednesday night. He had
been shot three times through the
head. His body was held down in the
slough by a heavy anchor which the
police say belonged to Gohl. Identi-
fication was made possible by an H
tattooed on Hartbergs arm.
Gohl is known as an agent supply
ing ships with men. Many of the forty
bodies found at Aberdeen have been
those of sailors. Having few if any
friends, there was no one to take an
active interest in avenGng their
deaths. Since Gohl's arrest he has re.
fused to talk.

the indianapolis Sun, an evening pa

The purchase of the Sun by Mr..

the state and Mr.. Leeds has been the
recipient of many congratulations.
The puchase of the Sun, it was au-

mean that Mr.. Leeds will retire from
the local field. He will continue in
control of the Palladium.
As to Its Politics.
The question is being asked general
ly what the politics of the Sun will be
under the new regime. Hitherto it
has been a democratic publication.
While Mr.. Leeds has made no state
ment to the Palladium regarding this
question, it is understood that the Sun
will be conducted along the same lines
as the Palladium.
The plant will be improved and in
a short time the Sun will blossom in
to thoroughly enterprising and at
tractive paper. In former years the
Sun was one of the best known papers
in the state. Mr.. Leeds plans to re-
store it to it's old standing.
