A wedding that will prove q genu-

The plans for The wedding were keps
very quiet, and but very few people
knew when the ceremony was to take
place Those few friends who had
been informed Of the wedding as a
prospective ev'rt Of the near future
we're led to believe that the cermony
was to hav .,een performed few
days ago, and when no public an
nouncement was made the friends
were more or less in the dark. A
short ring service was used in the
ceremony, and the bride Was atttred
in her travelling gown cf dark blue
serge. An hour after the wedding Mr..

Both Mr. Denbow and his bride are
well known in both the city and thru
out the county. Mr.. Denbow has lived
at Albion most of the time since he
came there as a lad Of in 1850. He is
a veteran Of the civil war, and enlisted
in this county in Company D. Fifth
Iowa infantry, serving over four years.
For many years -he has been engaged
in practice - pension attorney, and

pension work have given him an ex-
ceptionally wide acquaintance. He is
one Of the early Iowa Central agents in
the county, was at one time postmaster
at Albion, was justice Of the peace
there for twenty-three years, a men,
Der Of the school board, and township

she has held with satisfaction to the
board Of supervisors which employed

evening was spent in playing bridge,
the prizes going to Mrs. Harry Nc

A surprise conducted by Mrs. w. B.

It seems that Mrs. E. r. Lay had fur
nished a very fine umbrella to some
| unknown person at a previous Haw-
thorne meeting. and the search for the
person who had taken 1t by mistake
had disturbed the club for some time.
Mrs. Moore finally found the long lost
article behind hat rack, hence tine
idea OF returning It formally with ap-
propriate ceremonies. Mrs. Kibbey
dressed it as colored lady, and read

alongside Of the track at each Of these
crossings beyond which switchmen are
ordered not to set cars so the crossings

Your correspondent, NJ. D. T., In op-
posing the arbitration pact with Eng
land, inquiries: will the German and
Irish and other citizens of foreign birth
and lineage favor this so-called bond
Of peaceT"
AS a citizen who is half Irish and half
German in blood and who is all Ameri-
can and nothing but American in po-
HticaI principles, permit me to answer
M. d. T., by saying: I hope they will.
The position taken by your corre-
spondent should be noted by those who
wish the United States with its mixed
population to assume the role of q world
power. If 1t attempts to become one.
its elections will not be decided on
American issues, internal reforms will
be neglected, the trusts may do what
they please, States will be won or lost
as this or that rumor Of war or of alli-
arlce pleases or displeases some Of our
adopted citizens or their descendants.
If a mere pact for fair-play arbitra-
ton stirs up NJ. d. T. and many like
him. lust imagine the effect II we should
form an alliance with England, or more
awful still II we should fight side by
side with her against some other power
or powers!
Our population is too mixed, we have
too many imported antipathies to ever
become a world power. We cannot af-
ford to make our politics ever moro
muddled than they are. and far moro
rancorous, by the Introduction into

A ACLEARING HOUSE OF POPU.
LAR OPINION.

The Mail Bag" department of The
Times is one of those features which
make a newspaper truly medium ;
that is, the means by which the indi-
vidual is placed in touch with the
world at large. The popularity OF
this feature has been rapidly increas-
ing, and it is gratifying to note the
broad range of human interests with
which the minds of our readers are
occupied. 1t is an evidence of the
catholicity of tastes and breadth OF
understanding which characterizes the
readers of The Times. The letters to
the Mail Bag" also give impressive
evidence that they have views of their
own which they are free to express,
and from this friction of mind with
mind comes many an Illuminating
spark.
The Times wishes to offer the
fullest encouragement to this use OF
it's columns for the exchange of view
on subjects of general interest. In the
very nature of things these communi-
cations must be brief, and the increas-
ing popularity of the Mail Bag
makes it more imperative to enforce
this rule. 1t is in the interest of our
correspondents themselves that they
are urged to bring their letters within
limit of 200 words. Letters like that
crisp, cogent, and straight to the
point, vigorous and yet always parlia,
mentary in language-will be read far
and wide, while wordy essays are
passed over.
1t should 60 without saying that
these communications must be accom-.
panied by the name of the writer
mot necessarily for publication" to
use the time -honored bromide, "but as
an evidence of good faith" It is
equally important that the letters
should be written on one side of the
paper only.
By observing these simple rules and
availing themselves Of the opportunity
thus offered them, our readers can
make this department of The Times
even more than at present, the great
clearing house of popular opinion on
the various. phases of life and thought
which make up the history of current

appan the casual observer TO know how
much worn out land exists in the most
prosperous States of the Union, states
which are famous throughout the world
for their wealth of grain and their
magnificent wealth OF foodstuffs. Their
great tracts of non-productive land are
barren simply because the past or pres
ent owners, eager TO accumulate, have
neglected the potent philosophy which
the word conservation means.
