BUSINESS TRIP ENDS
IN QUIET WEDDING

A short time ago John H. Stone
man, a bee keeper of Blackfoot, left
for Emporia, Kansas. He said it was
business trip and nothing more.
But the mystery was cleared up when
he arrived in Blackfoot, Monday
evening bringing his Kansas bride,
who was Miss Ruth Officer until a
week before that day.
But newlyweds are sure to be dis
covered. There happened to be a
waiting escort at the depot, despite
every caution the honey man had
taken, and they numbered about 80,
all loaded with rice. The station
platform made perilous walking even
the next day.
The bridal party was bundled into
a conspicuously decorated car, which
proceeded to tour the principal down
town section just as the picture
shows were letting out. On the car
were large letters, to wit: Married"
Then the whole party were whisked
away to the new Stoneman home to
be entertained and dined. So the
evening passed in merrymaking and
the community wishes the happy
couple all manner Of good.

Mr.. Charles G. (Cad) Short, Of
May, Lemhi county, Idaho, bought
in November, 1913, "20 payment
life, decreasing cost policy" in a Ger,
tain Idaho company. This was a 20
payment life with 19 coupons used
at insured's option to reduce each
premium after the first. The policy
was for $4,000, insured at age 80,
and the annual premium Of $71.06
was paid. The policy was issued as
of November 20, 1913, The second
premium was due November 20,
1914, but was not paid. AS the
policy did not provide for cash, loan,
paid-up or extended insurance until
three annual premiums had been
paid, the policy expired at the end
Of the "grace period" on December
80, 1914. Just 1S days later, on
January IT, 1915, Mr.. Short died.

CHURCH NOTES
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Helpful Sermon

DR.. A. w. Petty, of Portland, Ore
gon, spoke to an interested audience,
at the Baptist church, Sunday morn
ing. Many things that he said con-
vinced the listeners that this is the
age and time when much depends on
America for proper advancement and
development. God has laid upon us
the shaping of the future policy Of
the world. One statement will bear
repetition, 'The old world has passed
away in Europe and America has
taken it's place." Out of the seeth-
ing mass, America will be turned to
as the supreme nation and advisor.

Last Friday evening Ella Ziegler,
Grace Ziegler and Gladys Hess, with

some boys and the pony became
frightened and ran off the grade. 1t

harness into pieces and breaking the
buggy. The girls and Mr.. Svedik
were thrown violently to the ground.
Grace Ziegler was thrown upon a
rock and her thigh bruised so badly
she was unable to walk. Besides be-
ing badly shaken up and the girls
fainting, no serious damage was
done. The horse ran away when
it became loose from the buggy and

SEE AND HEAR THE
KAFFTR CHORUS BOYS

Mrs. P. w. Harding, of Dennison,
Iowa, in a recent letter to Mrs. Byrd
Trego, urged particular attention to
the Kaffir boys on the coming chau-
tauqua program. She said in part:
Don't miss the Kaffirs, whatever
else you miss. You will never have
a missionary sermon stir your heart
strings as when you hear that little
hottentot sing: "I'm Child of the
King"
This number seems to have arous-
ed more lasting interest where it has
been shown than almost anything in
the way of entertainment of the day.
The great lesson is in the fact that
Mr.. Balmer was able to build up the
cnorus from the most unlikely ma
terial, a bunch of little African saw
ages.

SOCIETY NEWS

The home coming of many mem
bers of our younger set has beer
the cause of much rejoicing this
week. Among them are Mary Capps
Lillian Sample, Genieve and Marie
Millick, Pearl Quantrell, Myrle and
Zelma Simmons, Frank DeKay and
many others. Books are laid aside
and plans are being made whereby
complete relaxation from the ex.
citement and enjoyment of school
will be realized.
The l.. V. dance was the only large
social affair and the boys proved to
be most royal hosts and genial
happy spirit prevailed.
During the coming week our minds
will be occupied, not with parties and
dances, but with a new diversion fol-
Blackfoot. 1t is hardly necessary to
remark that we refer to the chautau-
qua for all the citizens are thrilled
and enthused over the prospect OF
hearing so many truly wonderful
artists. Even the children are pro-
vided for and are given several hours
of each day to hear chivalrous tales
of King Arthur and the knights of
the Round Table. The chautauqua
is the greatest attraction that has
ever come here and the wish of The
Republican is that all may enjoy and
revel in it's marvels to such an eX-
tent that it will become an annual
festival. p,

BUILDING CHANGES HANDS

The building in which the Dustin
Pharmacy is situated has been sold
by the King estate to G. W. Berry
man, and it is very probable that Mr.
Dustin will go to the new hotel as
soon as it is ready for occupancy.
Hayes Gift Shop then will move into
the quarters now held by the drug
store, and they expect to move in by
the first of August. These are rapid
changes, if they are consummated by
that time, and all depends upon how
quickly the Eccles hotel reaches COM
pletion.
