81. L. Groninger of this city
and Miss Margaret Stebenne OF
Denver ere quietly married in
Denver last Wednesday, and ar.
rived in this city Friday, where
they will take up their home.
Miss Stebenne spent a little
time in this city last summer
where she met Mr.. Groninger,
which resulted in the wedding
last Wednesday. She is a very
fine little lady and won many
friends during her short stay
here, She is a qniet, modest lady
who makes friends with all whom
she meets, and Nh. Groninger ID
indeed a fortunate gentleman.
Mr. Groninger has been in bus
mess in this city for several years
and is at present in partnership
with Charles Plummer. He came
here from Indiana seeking his
health and has resided here ever
since. He is we'll liked by a large
circle of friends, and to them he
is known by his nickname "Swift'
which was given him several years
ago, when he first came, probably
given him owing to his easy-goine
movements. he is one of the boys
and a good fellow.

with white face and has a hole in

might resemble KY, with the Y

and has a notch in underside Of

Both are apparently barn-yard

John E. Osborne
(By f. 81. Barrow.)

John E. Osborne, who many
years ago resided in Wyoming, Ia
ter a resident of Denver and more
recently of Washington, D. O., is
soon to take up his residence in
Wyoming for the purpose of OPP
ening up his campaign for the
United States senate. he is CON-
ing early in order to establish his
residence in the state long enough
to qualify as a voter before elec'
ton, and incidentally to horn of
any aspiring Democrat or neal
Democrat who might otherwise
beat him to it.

Marine News.

That ''6ne feathers make fine
birds" is accepted as an unques
tionable truth by the leading mill
itary authorities who are urging a
more extensive use of the blue
uniform.
Major General Bell, U. s.
Army, recently pointed out the
U. 8. Marines as examples of his
belief that an attractive uniform
inspires a soldier to live up to a
soldiers ideals.
Though the drab and khaki
will still be used as a field uni.

John shook the Wyoming dust off
his No. "a shoes and moved with
his family to Denver. He had SO
much money he didn't know wha,
to do with it, and in desperation
started a bank, SO he could mix
with the highbrows. Highbrow-

in and given the title of First AS

hero lived a sort of "wife in-name-
only" existence, as Laura Jean
Libby would say, for in all the
nearly four years he held the job
Johns name never once appeared
in anything connected with the
Department of State save the pay
roll. While Bryan stayed, Johns
duties we're confined to locating
jobs for deserving Democrats

Sycamore as it were. Since Bry-
an left, John has been treated ex-
actly the same as the brass fen
ders in the Secretary of States
Office, or any other piece of orna-
mental furniture there. They did
MT dare fire John before election,
for fear of affronting the Com
moner, but Woodrow is no sooner
counted in than our hero comes
forward with his Resignation"
Viewing from affair the nicely
oiled eight-cylinder Kenkins-H Hop
drick machine, and the beautiful
way in which it behaved, John
scents victory-and is coming at
ter it if it does mean two years
mixing with the common folks he
outgrew when he made his pile.
From now on John will be kiss

legend "Vote for Your Friend and

most good, sending long letters
and shorter checks to dry farmers

the papers in connection with
hard luck stories; attending fairs,

zaars and grange meetings; visit
ing the mines and being one of
the boys.
