Guy HANSON WEDS
MISS HELEN JONES
POPULAR MADISON COUPLE
UNITED BY REV. e. Me-
KIBBIN.

Last Sunday Mr.. Guy Hanson and
Miss Helen Jones slipped quietly out
of town, not announcing to their
many friends the plans they had for
becoming man and wife.
A western union telegram from
Minneapolis this morning gave out
the information that Mr.. Hanson and
Miss Jones had merged their individ-
ual interests through the officiating
kindness of their former pastor, the
Rev. C. McKibbin, who now breaches
to Presbyterian congregation in the
suburbs of st. Paul.
The couple have wide circle of
choice friends in Madison and vicin-
ity and it is they who are awaiting
an opportunity to extend congratula-
tions.
Mr.. Hanson is one of our more
promising young business men. He
is the type of man that finds sue
| cess certain, through close applica-
| tion his growing business. Mr.. Han
son is the proprietor of a large jew
elry establishment besides being an
expert watch repairer. He and his
new bride will occupy their own fine
residence on Second street N. Il.
She who was Miss Helen Jones,
but is now Mrs. Hanson, comes OF
respected parents who are now de-
ceased. She was reared in good
home and under helpful influences.
She is well educated and possesses
the rare trait of acquiring friends
through personal charm and win
some manner.
F. j. Schueller, cashier of the
| First National bank, accompanied
Mr.. Hanson and Miss Jones to st.
Paul and was present as witness
| to the marriage ceremony. The trip
| to the twin cities was made by auto.
The closest friends of the newly
married pair are all in the dark re-
garding the return of Mr.. and Mrs,

BUYERS CONTINUE
TO Be CAUTIOUS
MERCHANTS LOATH TO STOCK
UP HEAVILY WITH GOODS.

Sioux City, Sept. 28.-The princi-
pie of purchasing merchandise for
nearby requirements and practically
ignoring the unforeseen demand con-
tinues to rule in the ordering of
stock by merchants in Sioux City ter
ritory.
When the farmers begin to realize
on the enormous crop that is now
practically made the abrogation of
this rule imposed by exceptional con-
ditions in business is likely to re-
suit. 1t is fortunate that the mer-
chandise requirements within the
bounds of the Sioux City wholesale
market are sufficient to justify ex-
tensive purchases and provide con-
tinuous jobbing demand for stock
from this distributing center.
The buying power of the north
west mercantile element will be
greatly enlarged and stimulated by
the prolific crops. No radical chang
es in the jobbing trade are to be ap-
pretended, say Sioux City jobbing
representatives. The wholesale busi-
ness will be conducted upon practic-
ally the same basis as that of recent
weeks. While dealers are buying
cautiously and largely confining
their orders to merchandise that will
cover their immediate needs. a con-
tinuously profitable traffic is antici-
pated by Sioux City jobbers, who say
that the business prospect is quite Al
attractive as can be expected under
existing conditions.
In some departments Of the retail
trade downward tendency in prices
is in evidence and actual reductions
have been made. Many buyers and
some retailers still regard the cost oi
commodities with indifference, a!
the public is possessed Of the requis
ite revenue to procure what 1t wants
