HALL-CHADD. THOMPSON MAKES FIRST SPEECH , " 'it nine o'clock last Wednesday morning, September 3rd, every avail- Mn coo In. 0 CVontlo VSvlpp's church; in Seward, was occupied to ( witness the marriage ceremony cf 'one of the prettiest weddings of the csason. The happy couple were Mr. John J. Hall, of St John, and Miss Ruth May Rose Chadd, of Seward. Mr. Jopb M. Hall, brother of the groom was best man, and Misj Martha A. jteeuan, cousin of the bride, acted as criaebmaia. jir. james Keenaa jr. and his sister, Margaret, ere also Ia- attendance. Marie Chadd, the little sister of the bride, carried a leautiful boquet of flowers. The cer .emony performed, the pastor, the Rev. James J. Barry, said the Nup tial Mass at the nd of which he ad dressed a few words to the newly married couple, reminding them that marriage is not only a contract for life, but moreover, a sacriment insti tuted by Jesus Christ. After the congratulation ceremon ies, Father Barry and quite a num ber of the relatives and friends of the bride and groom betook them selves to the bride's home for break fast and a veritable banquet await ed them, and with music and song She day was very pleasantly spent The bride, who, by the way, was or ganist in the Seward church for a number of years, played 'numerous and very appropriate selections. At the wedding dance that night ai: the young folks enjoyed themselves to the full extent. The music was furnished by a Great Bend orches tra. me oriae ana groom were tne re cipients of many useful and costly presents. "The bride wore a sky blue messa- tine dress with white chiffon over dress. Her wreath was of orange blossoms from which hung the brid al veil. To match the dress she wore -sxy Clue satin suppers, any .oiue sua dresses with Oriental net over dress es were worn by the bridesmaids. ' The happy young couple are at tome to their many friends on the Hall home near St John. Both Mr. Hall and his youthful fcride are very popular in Stafford county, and they carry with them the good Irishes of all who know them. Senator Thompson's set speech on the pending tariff bill, given early last week, was his maiden effort at oratory in the. senate. Most of the senators were In their seats so that the junior senator from Kansas had a good audience. fThe speech appear ed to make a good lmpresssion on the senator's Democratic colleagues. It at least set at rest all doubts as to what his attitude might be toward the pending measure. The senator asked at the outset that he be not interrupted during his talk, so that; he was allowed to complete his speech without a break. He gave opportun ity for questions at the close of his talk, but none were forthcoming. Congressman Geo. A. Neeley was kept from his activities on the floor of the house by the serious illness of his little daughter the early part of the week, and was granted a three days leave of absence by the house. Mr. Neeley was able to attend the sessions of the banking and curren cy committee the latter part of the week, when final consideration of the Glass currency bill was being had Mr. and Mrs. G. F.

' Tdr. and Mrs. Art Fulgroat and fam ily are here from Oklahoma for. a vis It with Mrs. Fulgroat's brothers, Will Charted and Rob Pfister, and also with their many old friends here. Victor Murdock, being a born jour nalist, has the gift of telling an en tirely unalarming fact in a very start ling way. He exercised it recently when he declared that the Glass cur rency bill should be called 'a bill to abolish the United States treasury Ho made this still more startling by saying that under the bill hundreds cf millions of dollars now in the vaults at Washington would in one year af ter the. passage of the bill be shipped to all parts of the country. Well, what of It? If Mr. Murdock had been trying merely to explain the bill he co.uld have said that the government is to change Its method of handling its funds. Those funds, or a large part of them, are now locked in the vaults of the treasury. Under the new me thod they will be deposited to the credit of the government in the re gional banks. In the sense that the treasury is a place where money is kept the treas ury will be abolished, but the treas ure will be as carefully guarded as ever. The new method is that (fol lowed by other nations. The British government deposits Its funds In the Bank of England, a private institu tion. The American practice will be similar except that the regional are to be under government supervision and subject to strong government control.

This year on account of hav-($ lng an unusually large amount of otb-j er business to look after In the spring they did not raise quite as many as usual, but what they lack In quan tity is more than made up ta quality, as Gus says he never raised a finer bunch of birds than this year. He is specializing on Buff Orpingtons but also raises other v axe ties, and is go ing to have a big showing of the former at the Hutchinson State Fair next week and will also make exhi bits at the Barton County and other fairs in this part of the state. Gus is one of the farmers who is really wishing it would rain, for he has not been able to prepare any of his land for wheat yet. He says if we get a good rain within the next few days he will turn in with a number of listers and prepare some of the ground yet, but if it stays dry he is inclined to think that the only wheat he will put in will be in his corn land He had out about, forty acrs of corn this year, and had a good example of the benefits of listing the corn ground the previous fall and then splitting the ridges in the spring. One day last fall while Mr. Koch was away from home, the man who was working for him started to list on one side of a field that he desired to leave for corn, and listed there un til Gus came home at noon and told him of the mistake. This spring the rest of the corn field was all well disced before listing, but the only part of the field that made any corn was the. few acres listed by mistake, which will yield about fifteen bush els to the acre, while the balance of the field only made fodder. Gus says he has about 400 shocks of good fod der, besides alfalfa and plenty or good straw, and has old corn enough to, last for another year, so is well fixed to get his stock through the winter In good shape, but he says he wishes he had back that 1000 bush els of corn that he sold at forty cents per bushel just before harvest Great Bend Hardware & Imp.

AUGUST GAR LING, Will Gagelman was In from Clar ence township Saturday visiting 'with relatives and friends and looking af ter business matters.

Last fall while on a hunting trip down on the Salt Marsh,' G. H. Ern stlng, of Ellinwood, lost a sliver watch that he carried when at work or on occasions of this kind, and al though the members of the party all made a careful search, the watch was not id C.e found.

He wound it up and it started running in good shape and is apparently none the worse for Its unusual experience. Nels Nelson was in from the south side Saturday on a business trip and for a little visit with friends. Mr. Nelson isn't minding the failure of the corn and feed crop near as bad ly as many of the Barton county fame ers, for he has enough old com on hand to last him for another year, and thinks he will also have plenty of hay and other roughness to car ry his stock through the winter In good shape. He Is of the opinion that the failure of the wheat crop In this section of the country this year is not stoinu to hurt the country ha as bad as some people Imagine. The ' V- tVill. 1 iarmers wno toon cam w mu tuvu ey during the good years are. able to 'stand a failure, and he says that It will teach the others to be more care jful In the future, and if they will take the lesson the failure may prove armeroo Did you see Wilcox' ad in the" Democrat last week and read what he said about Superior Drills?
