The guide made the (tops by which h j climbed and then Dr. geovell could w'tli difficulty keep near him. They ascended lo a height or 14,000 feet on the mountain and rt that point the mow was too soft for the levels to bo placed firmly and bar ometrical calculations had to be uied in measuring the mountain's altitude. Thesu calculations arc not always reliable because a slight variation in the barometer make such a great variation in altitude, but the baromelricc.1 measurement were - compared and cheated as well aa the other meiitorcments and the Initrumsnta worn to? ted by the Mexican government observatory instruments aftor the meas urements bad been taken.

On last Thursday evening, promptly at 8 o'clock, John W, Cravens was united in marriage to Miss Emma Lucile Kreuger. The Walnut St. Presbyterian chuwb had been handsomely decorated for the occasion and presented a beautiful appearance.

Louden of this city. Messrs. Smith, Nuckols, Bohannan and Hatfield were ushers, The dress of the bride was cream colored silk, with chiffon and pearl pafsemcntrie trimmings and musquitaire gloves. The groom wore the usual evening dress suit. Miss Flora Kreuger wore lavender silk, trimmed in gilt posuemenlrie, and Miss Etta Craven was attired in steel grey and pink ilk. Artistic invitations, to the number oi more than five hundred, were issued, aud the audience was one of the most select eyer assem bled in this city. The presents, all beautiful and serviceable, would make a list much too extended to publish, Mr. Cravens is personalty known by every citizen of Monroe county, and has an extensivs acquaintance over the entire State. He was born in Hendricks caunty and was twenty-seven years of age on the day of his marriage. He was the school superintendent of this coun ty during four years, and last .November was elected county clerk. Mrs. Cravens is a highly respected and cultured young lady, an ac complished musician, and is in every way worthy of the devotion of tne husband. At the close of the reception at the National Hotel, the young conpie took possession of their cozily furnished home, corner of 4th and LineolB streets. Many guests from a distance were present, among them Mrs. W. U. Cravens of Center Valley, airs. S. M. Ralston and Mr. Hutton of Lebanon, Messrs. T. D. Cravens and Walter Saltmarsh of Indiana polis.

But that would be no greater convenience for personn residing a mile aud a half away. Either fence in the town or give the people who are coming here increased school facilities. An electric light in the Maple Plights neighborhood is an other one of the crying needs. The Showers factory will be compelled to employ a surgeon regularly if business continues to be as brisk as it was for a time last week. On Friday Alex.
