music, she has directed her education
alCng that line, until she was readily
recognized as one of the best pipe
OrSaniStS i'll town, and a teacher of
ability. She has studied in Iowa Col
lege and some of the best known of
eastern Conservatives of music.
Aside from her work of instruction
with large classes of students she
has presided at the pipe organ at the
st. James Episcopal church through
term of two years service. A
touch of the romantic figured in the
marriage of the couple that takes the
nuptial event out of the ordinary.
Miss Porter and Mr.. Weikel met by
accident while on a pleasure trip in
Colorado and the bride was with a
party on a sight seeing expedition in
the mountains. She, with the others
of her party were annoyed by incon-
veniences that attended the trip and
Mr.. Weikel came forward most gal
lantly to the relief and rescue of the
strangers. COurtesies extended were
accepted and acknowledged and from
the chance meeting sprang an ac-
quaintance and friendship extending
over a period of several years and ter
ing at the Episcopal church in Oska-
loosa, the tidings of which were peel
ed forth at an early hour by the
chimes. The wedding was of pri-
yate character, the only guests being
relatives of the bride. The happy
bride wore a pretty and becoming
gown of blue silk poplin and looked
every inch bride" The wedding
had been planned and announced for
Wednesday, June 18th, but to avoid
possible embarrassments of a demon
stration threatened by her many
friends and intimate associates the
date was moved forward one day in
the hope OF eluding the tormenters.
Young people, watchful and alert,
learned of tile change in the nup-
tial program and when bride and
groom emerged from st. James
church to enter a waiting car, anoth-
er speedy auto containing Misses
Edith Smith, May Stinson. Katie Sci
bert. Clara McFate, Lillian and May.
me Jones, Stella Malone and Ray Nc
Fate, with Ralph Price operating the
motor, was in readiness and as the
bridal couple left town their car was
trailed and the plan to escape was
thwarted completely.

Senior class of the college. The

as they were given in the time of the
author, with only the blue sky for
covering, trees and the shrubbery for
wings, and none of the modern Illus
ions of the stage to help convey the
story to the audience. The artists in
the cast, however rendered their lines
in such splendid fashion that none OF
the beauty of the play was lost, while
the natural settings of the stage only
tended to emphasize the scenes in
which the plot was laid. The produc-
tons were lully as pleasing and inter
esting as they were unique and both
were cordially received by audience.
The stage was set on the northwest
campus and banked high on three
sides with shrubs and branches while
the audience was seated on camp
chairs placed on the natural elevation
of the grounds. The plays We're pre-.
scented in their original form, contain.

a mere handful greeted him at the

Men and women who a few weeks

that congress take prompt measures

Thirty days ago but few of the

mand is going up from the press in

But the first shock and nausea has
passed away, and, as is customary
in this country, the people have
paused for second and more sober
thought. The sanity of the nation is
returning.
People are beginning to realize the
peril that confronts us as country
practically without the power of
resistance.
The public eye is becoming opened
to the fact that unless we place our
country in a state of adequate
national defense we are in grave
danger of feeling the iron heel of the
would-be conqueror, of sharing in a
measure the fate of the unhappy
Belgians.

engines of destruction at which the
world stands appalled,.
In the United States we have but a
handful Of troops, and at best we
have the arms and equipment for a
maximum army of not to exceed
500, 900 men. Our coast defenses are
lamentably weak, and our navy is so
small we would be powerless to pre-
vent the landing of the vast host Of

END OF TEN YEARS STRUGGLE.

Peace between Great Britain and
France was proclaimed one hundred
years ago June 2. For ten years the
two nations had been constantly at
war, the struggle ending only with
the overthrow and abdication of the
Emperor Napoleon. England's tri-
umph over her enemy, however, was
dashed by. the more doubtful for
tunes of the struggle in America.
But before the close of the year the
war with the United States was to
end, at most opportune time for
England, since it left her hands free
at moment when Napoleon's escape
from Elba and his temperance at
Paris called England and her CONT
mental allies to a new and final
struggle with France.

COYOTE PROVED A scRAPPER
Fought Four Trained Dogs FuriousIy
In River for More Than
an Hour.

The fighting abilities of coyotes
we're demonstrated recently when one
fought more than an hour with four
dogs belonging to Asa Ireton, a
farmer in the east part of this
county, says Salina (Kan.) dis
patch to the Kansas City Star.
After fighting several minutes the
coyote took to the river, and in water
from six to eight feet deep the battle
waged an hour. The coyote swan
about with only its ears and nose
above the water until attacked by
the dogs, and after fighting as long
as the dogs could fight the coyote
would break away and rest by float
ing. When the dogs had recovered
their wind they would make another
attack, working all the time to get
the coyote out of the water. They
were successful two or three times,
but each time the coyote would leap
back into the river.
After an hours work the coyot.
was driven away from the river into
the open. There it lasted more than
fifteen minutes against the four
dogs, which have been trained to
work together against coyotes and
bobcats. The dogs were exhausted
as well as badly battered.
