GRAND GATHERING
PLACE FOR CROWD
This Week Has Been Full OF Sur.
prises for Many.

There Is one place in the city that
has been exceedingly interesting and
that is the Office of the Medical Ex-
pert, located on the second floor at
420 Main street Many who had made
appointments have called to see the
Expert and found several always wait
ing. But to hear the conversations Is
the best part; also to watch the ex-
preston that comes on many of their
faces when they are told by those I'M
der treatment what quick results they
have had and how the Medical Ex-
pert saved them from that terrible tor
ture of the surgeons knife. One man
spoke up boldly and said: II had one
operation IN my family and that is
why my family Is broken I'D today.
That is why my motherless children
are scattered as they are. May God
spare anyone who is contemplating
undergoing a surgical operation. l
viii tell You what have seen and
know to be fact You all know Mr..
S. P. Nygren, living at 123 Bank
street. Well. he had tumor on his
face large as walnut Doctors said
1t would positively have to be cut off,
by way of the knife route. He refus-
ed. He laughed at them. He came to
the Medical Expert and he did the
work and did it freely, with
out the knife; no blood. no pain,
and 1t is off, and off forever. How
about that? Well, that is the class
OF work done by this man He gives
you square deal and believes in
dealing fair with the public" His
office hours are from 10 to - a. m,
to 4:So p. m, and to s evenings.
70 to II a. m. on Sundays only. Con
saltation free.-Adv.

NOTHING TO GLORY ABOUT

Rolfe Arrow:Some people glory
in the success Of prohibition. They
are easily satisfied. It is the candid
opinion of the writer, based upon
statements heard and some things he
knows, that $1,000 was spent for beer
In this locality last week. OF course
it was not all for home consumption,
many OF the orders coming from Pc
cahontas, perhaps most Of them, on
account Of the Rock Island refusing
to ship Liquor, and the M. & st. I.
and N. w. not yet having the lid
down. Still as shipping point the
liquor must be charged to Rolfe.
We can't say that it looks much
like parched country with this
record staring us in the face. Per-
haps tho heavy amount Of shipments
may have been caused by the runor
that after July LIST all railroads would
discontinue shipping liquor into dry
territories on account of the Webb
bill; not because it could not be done.
but because Of the position In which
1t places the railroad agent. For how
is he to tell whether a man SHINING
liquor wants II for his own use or
for Illegal sale.
A man who has peacefully imbibed
all his life, under the present condi-
tons might turn bootlegger tomorrow
and implicate the railroads. The
prediction is made that this last law
will force the liquor question in Iowa
INTO prominence. Men who have
quietly ordered their liquor for years
and opposed the open saloon for the
harm it might have done are now
making threats that at the first op-
portunity they will do all they can to
secure saloons Possibly the Webb
bill will pr,ve to be the last straw
IN many communities that will break
the back OF the prohibition camel. It
lnterferes with the individual rights
Of people.

Three Great Problems.

Three great problems lay before
the churches" said Rev. Arthur Dale
at a conference called by the Workers
Educational association to consider
the need for a closer connection be-
tween the association and the relig-
ious bodies of the country. The first
was the reconciliation of science and
religion-and the prophets of each
were nearer together today than they
had ever been before. The second was
industrial unrest, and the fact that
modern civilization tended to produce
millionaires at one end and human
machines at the other. The third was
the reunion of religious bodies. For
the solving of all these problems in
which the churches were Immediately
interested an enlightened democracy
was necessary."-Lonoon Public Opin-
ion.
The Penn's Grove record., 1913-11-28
MAKING Use Of Relation

It may be believed that nearly all
men mean to give religion a place in
their lives. Nothing, however, will
make life SC miserable as our religion
in the wrong place. For it is one
thing to give it place, and another
thing to give it prominence, and yet
another to give it prominence. I'm
til we give it first place we shall be
wondering at every turn what to do
with out religion. 1t will raise more
problems than it solves. We imagine
that to put it first would turn life
upside down, when the fact is that it
Is upside down already. We supect
it would revolutionize our life, where
as our lives are already in a kind of
chronic revolution. Our duties now
are continually clashing, but when we
set Gods will and kingdom first, doing
it a day at a time, our duties seem to
glide into place and we have our first
taste of the order and peace of which
the soul is capable.
The Penn's Grove record., 1913-11-28

There was one disappointment for
those who attended the wedding, for
the gifts we're not put on display. 1t
is known that these included many
beautiful and valuable articles SEM
by relatives and personal friends of
the bride and groom and of their fam
lilies and by admirers of President
Wilson. Handsome presents were
sent by both the senate and the house,
that Of the latter being a diamond la
valliere which Miss Genevieve Clark,
daughter of the speaker, bought for
the representatives in New York.
Guests Limited to 400.
Those who were invited to witness
the wedding were mostly personal
friends and the number was kept down
close to four hundred. The list was
pared and revised several times, and
as has been said, the operation result
ed in many heartburnings. From the
house Of representatives circle, for
instance, the only guests were Speaker
Champ Clark, Mrs. Clark and Miss
Genevieve Clark, Marjory Leader I'm
derwood and Mrs. Underwood, and
Minority Leader Mann and Mrs. Mann.
AS might be expected, the streets
outside the White House were as
crowded as the police would permit
with curious persons eager to watch
the arrival and departure of the guests
and trying to obtain through the win
dows a glimpse of the doings within.
The police arrangements were admir-
able and nothing happened, in the
White House or outside, to mar the
happy occasion.
The wedding of Mr.. Sayre and Miss
Wilson was the thirteenth to be cele-
brated in the White House, but the
bride has always considered Is her
lucky number instead of a hoodoo.
There have been more than twenty
weddings in which either the bride or
groom resided in the White House,
and the last wedding ceremony per-
formed there was the one which united
Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas Long
worth. Today's event was much quiet
er than that one, and the guests not
nearly so numerous.
Mrs. Sayre a Social Worker.
Mrs. Sayre was born in GAINESVILLE,
Pa, twenty-five years ago. She at
tended the Women's college at Balti-
more and was an honor member of
the class Of 1908, being also elected a
member Of Phi Beta Kappa. For two

JEssIE's WEDDING CAKE.

Jessie Wilson's wedding cake
was a triumph of the pastry cooks
art. It was two and a half feet
tall, counting the white orchids
that were placed on top of it, and
weighed 1876 pounds. The first
layer was four inches thick and %
inches across. The cake contained
10 ingredients and its cost was
about $500. Over the body of the
cake was nodded a thick white
icing scroll work, on its top was a
design for the initials Of the bride
and groom, done in silver, and
around the sides were lilies Of the
valley in white sugar. This deli
cious CONNECTION was distributed in
1000 dainty white boxes tied with
satin ribbon and each of the proper
size to go under the pollow Of the
recipient to bring dreams.

ARREST MCGUIRE,
is COURTS ORDER
Former Mayor of Syracuse In
dicted for Election Graft
ON WAY TO SOUTH AMERICA
Fowier's Collections Are Reviewed.
Many Contractors Tell of "Solicita-
tions" Followed by Threats of Pro-
ceedings for Violating Law.

New York.-James K. Mcclure. for.
mer Mayor of Syracuse and coniden,
tial agent of the Barber Asphalt Co.
was indicted here, it being charged
that he violated the general corpora
ton law by soliciting a campaign con.
tribution from the Union Oil Com.
pany, an offense punishable by a veal
of Imprisonment and a fine of $1,000.
Judge Grain issued a bench warrant
for McGuire's arrest. McGuire's bro
Their has testified that he is now On
his way to South America on business.
The man who put the finishing
touches on the grand jury case against
Mcclure is Fillmore Condit, New York
agent for the Union Oil Company.
That interested persons tried at the
last moment to induce Condit not to
c~orroborate the testimony of McGuire's
brother, George H. Mcclure, was the
implication in questions put to Arthur
B. Chamberlain, who described him
self as an agent of various asphalt
companies. Chamberlain denied that
he told Condit over tn. telephone to
forget about the offer Mcclure made
him and asserted that he called him
merely to impress upon him the fact
that McGuire's authority to speak for
the Democratic party might be ques-
toned.
Contradictions in the circumstances
which Chamberlain averred were the
motives for his calling Condit led Dis
.
trict Attorney Whitman to ask him if
he was familiar with the law of per-
jury. The witness said he realized
fully that he was under oath and de-
clared that if Mr.. Condit disputed his
account of the telephone conversation
then Mr.. Condit would be guilty of
perjury.
Additional information respecting
the activities of Everett Fowler as a
collector of campaign contributions
was given by a number of highway
contractors before Chief Magistrate
McAdoo. Isador H. Falk, of Buffalo,
testified that after he gave a contribu-
ton of only $3.50 Notwithstanding
Fowler's warning that any amount
less than $500 would be returned
Fowler, then a deputy fire warden,
threatened to proceed against him I'M
less extensive safety devices were in
stalled Immediately in Falk's building
in Buffalo.
Falk said he made most of the re-
pairs to his building and that Fowler,
meeting him afterwards, p~refaced a re-
quest for a contribution with the
statement that ne should pay no atten-
ton to what deputy fire wardens told
him. Falk declared the contribution
asked for was to help pay the ex-
penses of the Democratic delegation
to the Baltimore convention. He said
he didn't give Fowler the contribu-
ton.
Harold V. Owens, the Utica repre-
sentative of the Dale Engineering Com
pany, a New York corporation, testi.
fed that Fowler solicited and accept
ed from him a campaign contribution
of $500 last year. The contribution
was in the form of a check of the cor
poration.
