ornitholoeieaI Wedding.

There was n poetic appropriateness
in two weddings which were cele-
brated in London some time ago in
which Mr. Bird led Miss Linnet to the
altar and Mr.. Wren was linked to Miss
Nightingale.
Although it is seldom that one comes
across two of these "ornithologicaI
weddings in one day, they are by no
means uncommon.
On one occasion a church near Dub
lin was the scene of an interesting mar
riage in which Mr.. Grove was united
to a Miss Grove by the Rev. Canon
Peacock, the wedding march being
played by Mr. Rock. Much more re-
markable. however, was match
which set Edinburgh in a flutter some
years since. The bride was Miss Hen
rietta Peacock. and the bridegroom was
Robin Sparrow. The Rev. Mr.. Daw
performed the marriage ceremony;
Philip Hawk dictated as best man
and Miss Larkins as principal brides
maid, while the marriage lines were
extracted by John Crow, session clerk.

a World Reserve.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-The grain mar
kets are on a 1915 basis. otherwise
the liberal wheat receipts would count.

Austria and Hungary will decrease lib

He can include France and Belgium
though France may make a fair

news, the October and early November
seedlings of Germany should be liberal.
The plausible certainty of much re-
duced seedlings will continue to over
hang the wheat and rye markets.
wheat and oats swing with the eX-
port news. When Europe rests, the
grains sag. An export wheat lull has
been in existence for a few days.
United States consumers of corn and
oats have adopted a conservative at

City demand for hay is only mod

hay prices. Cotton prices in Georgia
have stiffened to Q cents and the raiser
is holding successfully. Around Oct.

are allowing 10 cents for cotton, which

Some slight hope that the once
plentiful passenger pigeon may not
yet be extinct is afforded by a state
ment made by James G. Cooper of
Dover, n. J., in the New York World.
He reports that while hunting in the
foothills of the Sierra mountains in
California. his headquarters being at
Three Rivers, he saw three different
fiocks of wild pigeons. In the largest
flock he counted &c birds, the other
focks being smaller. containing II and
II birds respectively. 1t is much TO
be hoped that Mr.. Cooper knows wild
pigeons when he sees them, as so
many other people do not.

They Like Brady.

A striking evidence of the con-
fidence which the people Of Idaho
repose in Senator Brady is shown
by the vote given him at the re-
cent primary. The thinking peo-
pie realize that he has accomp-
lished much OF practical benefit to
the state, and his record in Con-
gress has bsen 80 acceptable to
them that they will return him
this fall with an overwhelming
majority.
This endorsement is more evil
dent when it is remembered that
he had as his opponents three Of
the most prominent citizens of
the state. James F. Aiishie has
served as Supreme Justice of Ida
ho for twelve years. Frank R.
| lGooding has served as governor
of the state for four years. while
Burton L. French has served
several terms in Congress.
Receiving two votes to his near
est competitors one. there il
justification in the belief that the
people of Idaho appreciate the
excellent work Senator Brady has
done in Washington for his con-
stituents, and they feel ii is we'll
to follow in the footsteps of the
people of some of the older states
after placing man in the SEN
ate, to permit him to remain there.
They know that the longer the
service the better will be the
Senator's committee assignments
and that is where the real work
OF Senator Ia done.
The people of the state general

Local Levies the Same.

We gathered from the remarks
of County Assessor Kincaid. while
in Meridian Wednesday. that as
far as local conditions are con-
cerned. Meridian people are not
going to fare any better in the way
of leyies this year. but one thing is
certainly true, the blame for this
can not be laid at the door of
county or state officials. While
our local leyies are a mite higher
than last year. the lower county
and state tax. with lower valua-
ton of property. will make the
aggregate tax less. Last year the
village of Meridian made levy OF
7 mills and this year ION account
of building the state highway
through town. it will be 10 mills
Last year the Rural high levy was
4 mills. this year 3. Last year the
Ind. 80 school district levy was 5,
this year 5. Last year the state and
county levy was 8.8. this year an
even 8 mills.

One good effect of building the
new gravelled state highway
through Meridian streets will DO
to raise the standard. and it is
probable that soon we will see a
good gravel street extending for
several blocks through the husi-
ness section of town. To step
from the state highway of into
the mud of a poorly-kept street
will not be good advertisement.
