Wolf-sterling.

The event of the week, and one
of the most interesting of June we'd

home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Wolf
when their daughter, Vera Nell, was

Sterling, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. 7.
w. Sterling of Carlton. Promptly
at Z o'clock Miss Agnes Greenlees
began playing Lohengrin's wedding
march, and the bride and groom met
before an altar of ferns, palms and
daisies, where Rev. Noble Elderkin
officiated using the ring service in
the ceremony. Miss Wolf was at
tended by her sister, Miss Georgia.
while the groom was attended by
Mr.. Eugene Davis of Chapman. After
the ceremony a reception was held
and about 1875 guests were received
during the evening. The house was
artistically decorated throughout in
daisies and ferns except in the dining
room where nasturtiums were used
in profusion. On the table were crys-
tai candlesticks with yellow shades.
Mrs. Sterling has always lived in this
city and has many friends here. She
was graduate of the Lawrence high
school and attended the university
for three years, where she studied
music. Mr.. Sterling studied medi-
cine at the university for a number
of years, where he was a member
of the Phi Beta Pi fraternity. Mr..
and Mrs. Sterling left last night for
Topeka from there they will go to
Carlton where they will remain the
rest Of the summer. Mr.. Sterling
expects to teach school next winter.

Employ Homo LabOrers.

Editor Reflector: While weIar
in. the midst of paving campaign
we who have families should take
advantage of this and see that we
keep busy. Last winter there were
a number depending ON our city
for fuel and provisions. We can work
and will work. Only keep Mexicans
and foreigners out; give US fair
wages and we will do our best.
as one who has had ID years ex-
perience in paving, find that all 1t
takes to be an expert at is is strong
back and a weak head. And most
of us have a little Of the former
and lots of the latter.
We must pay our taxes, rent and
other obligations, and IL were not
for the work that we depend on do
ing to meet our obligations what
would we do? What / am limiting
is employing home labor first. EN-
ploy some one who will spend their
money at home. / make an appeal
to the authorities to effect this as
much as they can. To the city's in
terest as ours, furnish us work and
we will pay our way. Join the thrift
ty class and get off the bum.

Fact Was Drawn Out that Vessel

New York, April 20.--The living
cared for, the dead beyond recall,
survivors of the Titanic disaster are
now able to see in calmer retrospect
Mondays tragedy OF the North AT
lantic and from their more normal
utteranccs there is slowly unfolding
the full story of how the great White
Star liner, her band playing to the
last, sank off the Grand Banks with
more than 1900 souls aboard.
From the Countess of Rothes,
now quartered luxuriously in a New
York hotel, to the six Chinese
coolies wko escaped by hiding under
the lifeboat seats, all Of the $50
have been provided with food and
clothing, and some, Immigrant and
millionaire, are on rheir way home
Ito England, the continent or dis
liant parts OF the United States.
Many, however, ard of these the
hospitals shelter scores, still remain
in New York. where the Cunar,

day night.

actly how many died will never be

Icially, however, that the Titanic was
travelling twenty-one knots an hour
when she struck the iceberg NOT
withstanding this, however, none of
the survivors, from steerage to sa
lon, has as yet condemned Captain
Smith, who went down with ship.
The Titanic's rate of speed, which
was approximately twenty-six and
one-half land miles, was brought
out from the lips of j. Bruce Is
may, president of the International
Mercantile Marine and managing
director of the White Star Line,
who appeared as witness before
the United States senate committee
which is investigating the disaster.
Nervous, but not in tears, as Cap
tain Rostron of the Carpathia, who
followed him on the stand, Mr.. Is
may told In whispers of his escape
from the sinking liner from the time
The pushed away in a boat with the
women until he found himself, clad
in his pajamas, aboard the Carpa-
Ithia.
He was not sure In just what boat
he left the Titanic nor was he sure
how long he remained on the liner
after she struck. He added, however
that before he entered a lifeboat he
had been told there were no more
women on the deck and he denied
there had been any censoring of
messages from the Carpathia.
Other witnesses, including CaptEin
Rostron. bore him out in this, with
the explanation that the lone wire
less operator on the rescue ship,
swamped with personal messages,
was unable to send matter for the
