use of masses of cedar and ferns
and pink and white chrysanthe-
NUNS. Pedestals at each corner
of the pulpit and at the ends of
the chancel rails were wrapped
in white, wreathed in cedar and
| surmounted with ferns. The
chancel rail was entwined with
cedar sprays, decorated with
pink and white chrysanthemums
and q canopy of cedar and
chrysanthemums was erected
overhead.
Mrs. Leslie Shell was the or
ganist and the bridal party enter
ed shortly after eight O'Clock to
the strains of MendIessohn's
Spring Song, The ushcrs,
Messrs. Cannon and Stowe, en-
tered first down the middle

No Chance For
Militia Company

A letter received by Adjutant
General Grow from C. F. Hofstet-
ter, principal of the high school
at st. Maries, requests informa-
ton regarding the possibility OF
the establishment of militia
company at that place. Profess
sor Hofstetter was an officer Of
the South Dakota national guard
and is interested in military af-
fairs.
The above is taken from the
Boise Capital News. Prof. Hof-
stetter, when seen by a repre-
sentative of the Record, stated
that a number of the young men
of the city were desirious OF
forming a military company and
that he had written the adjutant
general. He received a reply
stating that the regiment is full
and the state had made no prOvis-
ion for additional companies, so
company cannot be organized
here at this time. He stated that
the application will be filed and
St. Maries will be given an op-
pOrtunity should any of the pres
lent companies drop out.

The meeting of the property
owners called for last evening at
the First National Bank for the
purpose of considering he ques-
ton of improving the streets in
the southeastern part of the
city, was we'll attended, the rear
room of the bank building being
filed with interested property
owners. Geo. O'Dwyer presided
at the meeting and A. c.. Wunder-

forming of two improvement dis
tricts, one taking in the territory
from College south to the Nection
lin. the south boundary of the city
and from First to Eighth streets,
inclsive, the second district to
take in Capitol Hill. The report
recommended that Jfferson street
be graded the full width, with a
SO foot roadway macadamized,
concrete curbing and concrete
sidewalks put in next to the prop
erty line and that the intersecting
streets from First to Eighth and
between College and Jefferson be
graded, macadamized and side
walks built to conform.
The committee recommenda-
ton for Washington avenue and
the intersecting streets between
that and Jeffrson was a SO foot
roadway with plank curbs and
walks and for the Capitol Hill
district that the streets be grad
ed and plank curbs and walks put
in.
Considerable opposition was
manifested to the plank curb an.
some to any street improvements
at all at this time. The matter
was discussed pro and con fol
some time, nearly every one pres
ent expressing their views. E. II

viously appointed should be re-
tanned and go before the council
and get a grade adopted prac-
tically as recommended in the re-
port, which called for "as little
cut and fill as is practicable and
if they succeed in having this

ments, including cement walks,
would cost approximately 5000

The committee was instructed
that as soon as the petitions are
prepared they should get the re-

The first Of a series of debates
that have been planned for the
year will be held at the weekly
student assembly Wednesday
morning at 1890 in the high
school auditorium. The ques-
tiOn that will be argued is, Re
solved, that the new six and Six
plan in our high school is an i'm
.prOvement over the old system"
The six and SIX" plan divides
the high school into two depart
ments, the junior and the senior,
and includes in the former the
seventh, eighth and ninth grades.
The senior department consists Of
the tenth, eleventh and twelfth
grades. Under the new system
the course of study for the
seventh and eighth grades has
been greatly revised, giving the
students of those grades an op-
IpOrtunity to take a number OF
subjects that could not be studied
under the old system, below the
ninth grade.
The Affirmative side of the
question will be supported in
Wednesdays debate by Agnes
Sweeney and Leon Collar and the
negative by Rex Taylor and Mabel
Sweeney. Three members of the
faculty will act as judges.
