Wedding of Charles Ross Dean And Miss Elizabeth Hume.

.Springfield, lib,- News of July 13. • The United Presbyterian church was handsomely banked in groups of stately palms and ferns, the dark background being relieved by masses of white carnations, Wednesday lifternoon, when the wedding guests assembled for the marriage of Miss Elizabeth Hume, daughter of the pastor of the church. Rev. R. H. Hume, to Charles Ross Dean, of Rensselaer, Ind.

Four o’clock was the hour appointed for the ceremony, and shortly before that time the churdh was 'filled with the friends of the bride and bridegroom. Miss Christine Hume, sister of the bfide, who is an accomplished soloist, gave a program of wedding songs and ballads assisted by Miss Ruth Weisenstein at the organ. The wedding march was rendered by Miss Weisenstein, as the officiating clergyman, Rev. Dr. R. H. Hume, Rev. John Newell of the Third Presbyterian church, and Rev. E. P. Thomson of the Second Presbyterian church ascended the aisle and approached the chancel. The ushers were Rev. Ross Hume, brother of the bride, who has only recently retruned from Scotland, where he was a theological student at the Edinburgh university, Delos Dean, of Rensselaer, Ind., a brother of the gridegroom, George Hemphill, a cousin of the groom, and William MacKensie. The ceremony was lengthy and highly impressive. Dr. Hume rendered the invocation, and Rev. Newell gave a brief address. A prayer was offered by Dr. Thomson, and the ceremony read by the bride’s father. The ring service was used. The bride’s costume was fashioned along Princess lines, elaborately embroidered and lace trimmed. A small white hat, trimmed in white plumes complete her costume.

An informal reception, for the family and very intimate friends, was held at the Hume residence in South Limestone street at 5 o’clock. Wednesday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Dean started for Detroit and Chicago. Later they will go to Rensselaer, Ind., where Mr. Dean is identified with the high school. Mrs. Dean wore a modish costume of dark blue, and a hat of blue as her going-away costume.

Million Population Balloon Came Down at Lacrosse.

C. F. Specht and a party of Valparaiso friends were on their way to Lacrosse last Tuesday afternoon when the “Million Population’’ balloon landed after the long flight from Kansas City, Mo. Pilot Berry gave a vivid account of his experiences among the clouds. He and his traveling companion, McCullough, were traveling along Monday night at an altitude of 16,000 feet. The atmosphere was at the freezing point and ice formed on the balloon. After enduring these conditions as long as possible, it was decided to drop the balloon below the cold strata. This decision was reached Tuesday morning. As the ship settled toward the earth, it sailed into a terrific electrical storm, which made further traveling extremely hazardous at the time, so an opportunity to land was sought and Mr. Specht and companions supplied the needed help. <> There was a liberal quantity of stores aboard and the travelers were in good shape, except being inconvenienced by exposure.

Young B. & 0. Operator Fined At Hammond for Hugging Girl.

There are some things that you are not allowed to do even in Hammond. One of the things is to hug a girl on the street without her permission. John Sheehan, a young B. & O. operator at Beatrice, went to Hammond a few days ago to buy an oil stove. He took a drink after getting to Hammond and then he took another drink, and like the Sultan of Sulu in George Ade’s novel of that name, he didn’t care what he did and he proceeded to drink up the oil stove money. Then he went out on the street and saw a dimpled fairy and imagined that she smiled at him. He threw his arms about her and gave her. a mighty squeeze. The girl had him arrested and the judge fined him |5 and costs. John was sober then and after looking at the girl he was accused of hugging he plead guilty to being drunk; In fact, he said, there was no doubt about it, or he would never have picked on tha: girl to hug. John’s fine and costs amounted to |ls and he will have to put off buying the oil stove for a month or two. '■

Tone Overton is wearing eight stitches in his face to close up a wound made accidentally by Johnny Horton this Friday morning.

Wife Charged Hubby With Desertion; Court Dismissed Him.

Squire Irwin presided at a case alleging wife desertion Thursday. The plaintiff was Goldie Bowen and the defendant her husband, Samuel Bowen. They were married July 28, 1910, and the frequent fall rains and the productive condition of the soil in the neighborhood of Newland are assigned as the cause of the birth of a child to them in September. The testimony brought out the fact that they had lived together at the home of the defendant’s father for some time and that finally the plaintiff left and went to her own father’s home. Since that time they have not lived together. As she did the leaving the court could see no desertion on his part and he was discharged. Moses Leopold represented the defendant and Dunlap & Parkinson the State.

Vern Newels a Leader in Abating the Fly Nuisance.

Vern Nowels has joined .hands with Dr. Hurty in an effort to abate the fly nuisance. He has even gone the active state secretary of health one better by indulging in a practical scheme of demolition, while the Indianapolis man simply encourages others to do it. Vern has made a couple of fly traps. They are large and can accommodate many million flies. The traps work perfectly and are simple of construction and a sure catch and sure hold. A frame of light wood, about 30 Inches high and a foot square is enclosed about the sides and over the top with wire screening. A hole about 7 Inches in diameter is made in the bottom of the trap and a piece of wire bent cone shape runs to a point from the hole. A small aperature is left in the top of this cone. The trap Is mounted on legs and a plate of sugar and vinegar is set beneath the hole. The flies eat a little and then climb up the cone and are trapped. It works perfectly and a trap in the rear of his restaurant Thursday evening was literally filled with files. They were scalded/ It would be a fine thing if these traps I were used at every store.

The state board of health is losing no time in going after grocers, butchers, bakers, confectioners and druggists, who violate the law.

As a result twelve dairy owners, four confectioners, one poultry dealer, one druggist, six butchers, nine grocers, three bakers and one hotel ipan were found to be disregarding the law, and so they will suffer the penalty. In the list is the butcher at Notre Dame University, it being charged that the slaughter house is not being kept clean. -
