Wedding Bells.

On Wednesday afternoon, March 81,
at o'clock, at the home of the brides
parents, Mr. and Mrs. l.. E. Hannem,
we'll known residents of Dane county,
occurred the marriage of their daugh
ter Selma to Alfred Thronson, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Thronson. 1t was
a quiet home wedding witnessed only
by the immediate relatives of the con-
tracing parties.
AS the sweet strains of Lohengrin S
wedding march, played by Miss Alvilda
Hannem, foatsd through the rooms the
bridal party took their places and the
Rev. G.. G. Krostu of the United Luth-
eran church spoke the words which
united two hearts for the remainder of
life's journey.
The bride was gowned in white satin
and carried shower bouquet of white
roses and lilies of the valley. She was
attended by her two sisters, Misses
Amanda and Alvilda Hannem. The
groom was attended by Messrs. John
Thronson and Norman Hannem. At
the close of the ceremony congratula-
lions were extended, after which a
daintily prepared dinner was served.
The bridal party left Thursday morn
ing for Elkader, Iowa, for a short visit.
They will be at home to their many
friends about April 10th on the groom S
farm, the old Thronson homestead.
These young people are too we'll
known in their respective communities
to need any introduction. They carry
with them the heartiest congratulations
and best wishes of all.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKETS.
Continued From Page l..

Most of our packers have about all
they need of the new crop, but if the
prices go down very much more most
of them will doubtless find room for a
few more cases, as they could hardly
resist the temptation of buying at a
bargain. Considering the great guam
tity of tobacco still left in the growers
hands, it cannot be otherwise than that
further reduction in prices should fol-
low, in order to offer an inducement
for buying to dealers already loaded
up. 1t will be the longest held crop of
years, and this will prove a serious
matter to growers, who have their
spring work on the farm on hand, work
that must be attended to. The danger
is, therefore, that the tobacco held will
be neglected before it leaves the own
ers' hands. 1t will interest outside
dealers to know that most of the unsold
tobacco has been stripped, and is open
for inspection by intending purchasers.

industry in this section practically
amounts to slump, and number Of

Larger Crops Mean More Profits.

Every farmer can grow from 25 to
100 per cent bigger crops and at the
same time increase the value of his
farm Nearly all farms need ground
limestone for correcting the acidity or
sourness of the land, and ground rock
phosphate for supplying the plant food
element, phosphorus, to the crops. We
sell the best at lowest wholesale prices

Small Interest in Municipal Election.

The lightest vote in some years was
polled at the spring election held on
Tuesday, the total being but $50 against
SGT cast year ago. The license ques-
ton was not an issue this year, nor was
there but few contests for municipal
offices, so there was but small interest
manifest in the result The preference
primary for president and the election
of delegates to the national conventions
proved puzzle to good portion of
the voters and scarcely half Of them
voted the tickets. Even many of those
who attempted it failed to properly in
dictate their choice, more because this
method Of election was something they
were not accustomed to. With about
$50 democratic electors in town, only
60 of them expressed any preference
for president, while the vote for dele
gates ran below this figure down the
line, the last names on the list receiv-
ing the smallest number of votes.
The result of the vote was as follows:

PRINTING In China.

II reports are to be relied on, they
had the art Of printing in China "2.4OO
years ago." It was block printing,
however, though It is said that they
had something very like movable type
in the middle Of the tenth century,
There may be some doubt as to the ex.
act period. but there is no room for
questioning the fact that for many
centuries before It was known in Eu'
rope the art was well known in China.
