PRETTY COUNTRY WEDDING. SEVERAL COLD WAVES.

The Nuptials of Miss Pliochc l.andis Long and Samuel Godfrey Nelson Celebrated at Maple Dale Home

Wednesday Night.

Wednesday night, at the beautiful residence of Henry Long. tliree miles north (if the city, known as "Maple Dale Hume," occurred the marriage of his. daughter. Miss. Plm-be Landis L'.ng, to Mr. Samuel Godfrey Nelson, of Greeneastle. About one hundred invited guests were in attendance and the home had been handsomely decorated with autumn leaves, smilax, and chrysanthemums. At half past eight o'clock Mrs. Walter Hulet sang very feelingly "O Promise Me," and a few minutes later, as the hands of the clock started up, the bride and groom, unattended, entered the parlor to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, rendered by "Eddie Braudkamp. The contracting parties took their stand before a mantel banked with smi^ lax ana autumn leaves, and the marriage service was read by He v. Fred llosebro, of Danville. 111., a brother-in-law of the bride. The bride, who is a very autitul young lady, wore a becomi ir costume of silk cfrgandiej and carried bride's roses. Immedi-| ately after the ceremony the bride and groom led 'he way to the dining room, which w:i- a vision of loveliness, the decorations being smilax,autumn leaves in varie»ar,ed colors and chrysanthemums, ai:d where refreshments were served. The bride was the recipient of many handsome presents as testimonials of the high esteem in which she is held by her legion.of friends. Mr. and

Mrs. Nelf.n left on the midnight train for Chicago and the north, and will be at home to their friends at the farm of the groom near Greeneastle after Nov. 10. Mr. Nelson is one of the prominent and substantial citizens of Putnam county and has won for his bride one of Montgomery county's most charming young women. Among the out of town guests were: Mrs. Charles Cooper, of Greeneastle Rev. and Mrs. Fred Rosebro. and Mrs. inta Harrison, of

Danville, ill. ,"

"The Little .Minister."

The season will offer nothing better than Chas. Frohman's company presenting Mr. J. M. Barrio's "The Little Minister,'' the author's own stage version of his great Scotch novel of the same name, which comes to Music Hall Friday night. Nov. 2. Mr. Chas. Frohman, in all of his long and successful career, has never ollcred a more popular attraction than "The Little Minister" has proven to be. The quaint people of "Thrums'" seem to have been taken right into the public's good graces at once, and there are not to-day a more popular body of people in America than the Scotch people who help "Gavin Dishart." the "Little Minister," tell the story of how "Lady Babbie" won the parish preacher. They seem to carry with them that "one tiuch of nature that makes the whole world kin." Mr. Frohman used the great facilities at his command to give the play a cast of characters capable of its requirements. That he has succeeded admirably, no one will gainsay who sees the great performance to be given the play at Music Hall.

Illness of Col. J. R. Ross. Indianapolis

Netcs:

The illness of

Col. James R. Ross reached a critical stage to-day, and the indications were that his life was near its end. He became unconscious yesterday afternoon, and has since remained so, with one or two brief recoveries. Late this afternoon his death was expected at any time.

Colonel Ross became suddenly ill in the headquarters of the Knights of Pythias on January 19. Tn time he recovered and was about again, giving more or less attention to his business and other affairs. Recently he was not so well. His last visit to his place of business was a week ago last Monday. He was down town, however, on Saturday, but. was taken home unconscious and his condition since then has been alarming.

Colonel Ross was a distinguished soldier in the civil war, and for many years has been conspicuous in private life. He has been conspicuous in the national guard of the state, and since 18S4 has been a brigadier-general, commanding the Uniform Rank,-Knights of Pythias of Indiana.

Colonel Ross is a brother of R. C. Rttes, of this city, and has many friends here.

The last storm period for November is central on the 27th, extending from the 25cfe to the .'10th. Marked storm conditions will begin westward about the 20th, and energetic storms of rain, wind and snow will pass eastward over the country on the 27th to ItOth. Moon being on the celestial equator on the itOth, high temperature, rain, snow and storminess will not subside generally until after that date.

By the 1 .~th a decided change to the warmer will bave developed in the west, and more storms of it to kill a man. of rain and snow will move eastward a drop of anything over the country from the 15th to the l!»th. Local cloudiness and occasional autumnal squalls may occur at almost any time, but decided and general storm movements will fall conspicuously within the storm period. Another decided dash of early winter will follow this storm period, being generally felt over the country and lasting up to about, the 21st.

ber l*th he said: "The next session of congress will have to wrestle with one deficiency of $.'!!),000.000. This on account of pensions. The appropriation for pensions for the next year must not be less than $150,000,000. It is therefore easy arithmetic to perceive that the appropriation of that congress must aggregate not less than $ ISO.000,000. This tremendous sum in itself would be enough to run a reasonable government. One would not complain if ii, were an honest debt, but a large proportion is not debt, because it was never earned by any act of patriotism or heroic service. The government is held up and despoiled of no mean portion of this, and it seems helpless to defend itself. One cannot help being curious to know how many more years it will take to exhaust the generation which feels itself injured by the war. It is safe, to.say that never did a generation display such remarkable longevity

61 WEEKS FOR $1.00.

A Surprise.

Last Friday. Oct. l!)th, John Bratton reached his twenty-tirst mile stone, and to remind him of the fact his parents invited about fifty of his young friends in to spend the evening and eat oysters with him. When supper was ready and they were invited out to the table,John discovered that his plate was turned wrong side up, and on investigating he found a bug under it—"a gold bug" to the amount of twenty dollars. His mother had also given him one a smaller size, that morning valued at one dollar, and a book, Ben-Hur, General Wallace's writing, with his autograph in it. After supper was over the young people enjoyed themselves playing games until a late hour when they took their departure, wishing John many more such happy birthdpj/b ^... A GUBST.

Of course there are some very smart men among the natives but the greater number are as yet incapable of self government, and other powers would be tickled to death to get a hold of such valuable islands. No one at home can hardly imagine how large these islands really are. All together they would make, as much as Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan,

Wisconsin and lndiana»*put together, and as the land runs from $1 "0 to $1,000 per acre, you can readily see that they are worth possessing.
