The dance and wedding festivities at the home of Henry Kintz southwest of this city, were well attended last night and a good time is reported. The merriment continued until a late hour and the occasion was so complete that it will long be remembered by those present. A surprise party was on at the home of Chet Buhler last evening which was given in honor of Bertha Buhler, Quite a number of the little people were present and the affair was run the extent of their childish fancyj and will no doubt be an occasion long to lie remembered by them. Tin' record of the Geneva oil field has been broken. The Illinois Oil company has drilled in a well on the Glendenning farm that is dusty. The well is the No. 3 Glendenning and the other two, like all other wells surrounding Geneva, produced oil. The wells around Geneva have not all been big ones but they have all shown up some oil and this is the first one to break the spell. When you see two or more doctors in close conversation you may set down that they are discussing the late county hospital law. as published in last evening's paper. Before the issue was hardly dry, the discussions of the question licgan. Generally speaking, the public is more than anxious to see established just what the law contemplates It is not at all improbable that efforts will be directed along the lines looking towards its establishment. The Bluffton News says: “C. N. Coverdale and family arrived home last evening from El Paso, Texas, after a stay of about nine months in the southwest. During that time Mr. Coverdale was a special agent for the State Life Insurance company in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and adjoining territory. He tendered his resignation last Friday and will not complete the full term of a year which he had expected to sjx-nd in insurance work in the west. He is negotiating transactions by which he exjx'cts to again locate in Bluffton ]x*rmanently. Forman, F ird A- Co., in a circular so their customers, offer the follow- , ing us food for reflection: If there was no duty to be paid on imported glass, bast'd on today's market, an ordinary store front would cost ♦ 100 f. o. b. Minneapolis. The same store front, with the present tariff ; addl'd, costs ♦275, the consumer being obliged to jxiy $175 extra duty, which is the protection given the ' trust. As plate glass is munufuct- ' lin'd entirely by machines. no skilled labor entering therein (and machines ; are ojxruted about as cheap in • America at in Europe), it must lx> clear to anyone that the ••trust" 1 is not entitled to such enormous and unreasonable “protection" us it has , at present at the expense of the eon i sumers of plate glass. Somclxxly 1 really ought to take th<' trouble to 1 explain to Messrs. Forman. Ford Co. that it is the foreigner who I pays the tax.
