Capital society was interested this
week in the marriage of a former
Wheeling boy, Ensign Laurence Rihel-
daffer, United States Navy. His bride
was Miss Vittori Mania Tittoni, who is
a daughter of Signor Carlo and Sig
nora Tittoni. the latter Countess An
gelina Albert, OF Rome, Italy. Owing
to the quite recent death of John C.
Riheldafrer, the bridegroom's father,
the wedding was very simple and
transformations affair. witnessed by
members of the two families. The
mother of the bridegroom, Mrs. Laura
C. Rfheldaffer, of Wheeling, was pres
ent. There were no attendants. The
bride was given in marriage by her
brother, Lieut. Renato Tittoni, United
States Marine Corps. The bride wore
a gown of white lingerie and carried
a bouquet of lilies OF the valley. The
ceremony was performed at 3 o'clock
Thursday evening In the home OF the
brides brother by the Rev. S. ].
o'Rourke, 8. J., OF New York
Miss Tittoni was one Of the popular
society girls OF Washington, noted for
her beauty and charm. No less pop
ular is the gallant young West vir-
ginian who won her heart and hand,
both in society and with his fellow
officers in the navy. He is shortly to
receive promotion to a higher rank.

If those who have been APPEALED 10
to contribute to the fund being raised
respond as generally and generously
as hoped for and expected, the old
soldiers and their families who are
coming to Darlington the last week
OF September to attend the forty-ninth
annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic. will be accord
ed such royal welcome and enter
tainment by the West Virginia Society
here as will make them glad that they
came The plans for all of this are
being gotten up on an elaborate scale
and the committee in charge, of which
Ex-Governor George Wesley Atchison
is chairman, hopes to be able to raise
the sum necessary TO carry them out.
The responses to the appeals sent out
very gratifying and the committee
feels encouraged. The honor of being
the first to send his contribution be-
longs to Hon. George A. Laughlin, of
Wheeling. while second honor goes
to Hon. Henry Gassaway Davis, West
Virginia's Frand Old Man" In the
letter accompanying his contribution,
Senator Davis wrote-"The efforts OF
the society in this direction are to be
commended, and are deserving of the
support of all good citizens of the
state +s"I trust that the ambition of
your society may be fully realized,
and that the old soldiers may enjoy
to the greatest extent the hospitality
which will be extended to them"
The committee did not sent out any
more appeals than it thought neces-
sary, and 1t may be that there are
West virginians who will feel suffic-
ient1y interested In the undertaking
to desire to contribute to it and help
it along to success. If there are any
such, the committee will be very glad
to place their name on the roll of
honor" which, when all contributions
are in. will be published, omlrriAs

Visitors Trim Miller Bows

The storm of Saturday did not
seriously effect the crowd that
gathered at the high school gym
that evening to witness the Miller.
Redfeld basket ball game. for the
spectator seats were veil filled. The
score was. the only disappointing
feature of the game Miller receiving
the small end of a 81 to II score.
This is the Redfield team that made
a good showing at the state tourna-
ment last year and has won a mum,
Der of this years games.
The Huron girls team wer on a
trip west and expected to arrive in
Miller on the evening train for a
game with the local girls. The east
bound train however did not reach
Miller until 10 o'clock, too late for
the game, so the Huron girls re-
turned home without stopping in
Miller.
1t is probable this return game
will be played at some future date
as the teams are very evenly match
ed and the local girls are anxious to
meet Huron again.

There Is No Evil

The following lit of optimism is
from the pen Of Walt Whitman, the
poet philosopher, and reminds us that
life is worth living after all:
There's no use finding fault. my

no matter what Dame Fortune
sends she has a good excuse. | suf-
fered with four kinds OF govt and
raised a bitter wall, until a neigh
Dor pointed out that druggists got
my kale; the druggist is a worthy
gent, whose store is span and spick;
and could he pay his tax and rent if
someone wasn't sick? The snow
that's in my whiskerines. that Grip
pies up my feet; should have a well
come, for it means salvation to the
wheat. The rain keeps stopping
down all dav, and spoils our peace
and glee, but it will cause new bales
of hay to grow on every tree. The
toothache gives my jaw a jar. but if
no toothache came. the dentist
could not keep his car~he'd have to
pawn the same. It's foolishness to
make a fuss, if things seem gone
awry; the grief that makes you paw
and cuss. to some one else is pie.
Just think of that when you're in
clined to read the riot act; it's worth
while keeping it in mind. because it
is a fact. There's no such thing as
unmixed woe, though life seems
out of plumb. and all the punk old
winds that blow, bring happiness to
some.

The Text Book Bill.

Argus-Leader:-Hous bill No. 81
passed the house by a vote of 90 to
Il and is now being given considera-
ton by the senate. In a word this
provides that each district may
choose its own books and furnish
them at cost. free or rent them to
children.
This bill is modelled after the Mir
nesota and Michigan statutes. Min
nesota has adopted free text books
in $3.50 of 1868 districts and that
within four years. Michigan has
free texts in about % per cent of
it's districts. There are % states in
which the system of compulsory
free texts prevails. Some of the
eastern states have had this law
from % to 60 years.
Free text books make sch, OILS free
in fact as well as in name. Free
text books are the logical develop
ment of the free school system.
Not many years ago, pupils were re-
uuired to paw school rates in order
to attend school. We have passed
bevond this stage. and furnish at
public expense, besides the teach
ers, the school buildings, with desks,
bIackboards, fuel, etc. Certainly
text books are as necessary to a
school as the items Of equipment
mentioned. The South Dakota law
at present requires the district
board to furnish wall maps and a
dictionary. also to fly the stars and
stripes. Are not text books just IS
necessary.
In South Dakota there is a com.
pulsory law between the ages of
eight and fifteen years. Parents
must send their children or else be
fined, and must buy the necessary
books whether they can afford it or
not. This is illogical and unjust.
The community as a whole should
furnish the books as well as the
house and the equipment.
Free text books permit school to
start on time. Under the individual
ownership plan, much valuable time
is lost at the opening of the term
because children are rot provided
with books. and some children never
get the books because parsimonious
parents will not buy them, In any
case the child is the one who suffers,
and the child is the one that the law
Is irving to protect, and he is not
protected in his lawful right to an
education unless he is provided with
school books furnished free by the
school district.
Free text books IS a logical Sc
| guerce to the free school idea, di-
minishing still further the barrier
between the rich and the poor, re-
moving an obstacle which stands in
the way of attendance of the very
class the common schools are chiefly
designed to reach, and it reduces
largely the cost Of books to the COM
munitv as a whole, because school
boards buying direct from the pub
fishers, receive the same discount as
is given to dealers. Boards of edu-
cation receive a discount of 20 per
cent, and when a fve-year contract
is entered into, a discount of % per
