A SUNDAY WEDDING The Wedding Ceremony of Miss Lottie Fox and Engene Frank Was Per formed Sunday Afternoon. A CHERISHED LIFE GONE. Mrs. I. W. Burright Died Sunday After noon of Consumption. The people of Mitchell were shocked Sunday afternoon to learn of the death of Mrs. D. W. Burright, which occurred at 1 o'clock. They knew she would ot recover, that the disease was mak ing terrible inroads on her physical strength, but the announcement brought with it a touch of pain. Mrs. Burright has not been a strong woman at any time during her life, and last spring she commenced to show signs of rapidly failing health. Mr. Burright took her to Eldora, Iowa, in the hope that being in her old home and among her relatives would bring a change in her condition, but after remaining there for some time she expressed a •desire to return to her home here and her wish was gratified. During the last two months she has taken daily •drives but she was quite weak ana would have to be helped in and out of the buggy. She did not believe her case to be.incurable and held out to the end that she would get well. Mrs. Burright was a lady possessed of a very happy disposition, always pleasant and kind to everybody and she was highly esteemed and beloved by everyone who knew her. Her death will bring sor row to many hearts, as they see a bright and happy life taken from its pleasant surroundings, a comfortable home, a kind, indulgent husband, and her baby boy, three years old, in whom the mother's life and happiness were centered. Funeral services will be held at Mr. Burright's residence on west Fourth street Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock conducted by Rev. Mr. Bradley. For the Auuual Home Contest.

Though the coveted slab will not figure [in the state contest this year, the ftate association provides as usual liberal prizes. Aside from these pecuniary rewards the oratorical work ias gained too firm a bold upon the colleges interested to Buffer any check fay the settlement of the slab, and the same enthusiam will prevail as former ly. THE REPUBLICAN charges the 'above named collegians to do faithful •work for the local tourney. Wedded Sunday Afternoon. A happy wedding event occured at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fox, four miles east of town when Miss Lot tie Fox was married to Mr. Eugene Frank of Worthing. The ceremony occurred at 3 o'clock and was perform ed by Rev. N. S. Bradley in the pres ence of the relatives and a few intimate friends. After the ceremony was per formed and sincere and hearty congrat ulations offered the bridal couple and guests partook of a very dainty and pal atable wedding dinner. The bride is a ^handsome and accomplished young "lady and graduated from the Mitchell high school two years ago. Mr. Frank ds engaged in business at Worthing, for which place the bridal couple left this morning. A Large AValgt. Is not generally considered a necessary ''adjunct to the grace, beauty or sym metry of the womanly form.

Gun derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the result were filmost marvelous in the caseof my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeed ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms ef coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive tbem.

When the tired 4-ictory operative, the weary outdoor laborer, the over tasked book-keeper or clerk seeks med ical recompense for expenditure of bodily force, wl,ere shall he find it? Could the i-ecorded experience of thous ands of workers be voiced, the verdict would be that Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters renews failing strength, stimulates the jaded mental powers to fresh activ ity, and relaxes undue nervous tension as nothing else does. Digestion, a reg ular habit of body, appetite and sleep are promoted by it, and it is an admira ble auxiliary in the recovery of health by convalescents.

It is also incomparable for fever and ague, rheumatism and kidney troubles. Under A Black Flag. Tiie audience which saw Frank Long's dramatic company put on the above dramaTuesday night at the court house were quite appreciative of thecompany's endeavor to interest their patrons, al though the crowd was not as large as the play warranted. Mr. Long appeared as Lazarus and at once captivated the audience with his mimicry andgrotesque situations and the other members of the company gave him good support. Mr. Maher made a splendid hit in his Irish character. The company certain ly appears at a great disadvantage with having to give a show on an improvised stage, with room enough merely to turn around, but they are eiving good satisfaction. Tonight "Trilby" makes her appearance and a big crowd is as sured, nearly all the advance seats be ing sold. That .Joyful Feeling.

PLEASE THE PUBLIC Frank Long's Dramatic Company Scores a Good Success on the Night of Their Opening Here SAD FUNERAL OBSEQUES. Sorrowful, Impressive Funeral Services Over tlie Remain* of Mr*. Harright. At two o'clock Tuesday afternoon a great number of sympathizing friends gathered at the home of Mrs. D. W. Burright to pay their last tribute to his departed wife. The rooms were crowded with those who kuew her in life and loved her for her sweet woman ly graces. The services were opened by the choir, Miss Goodykoontz, Mrs. S. H. Scallin, J. S. Daniels and Geo. A. Silsby, singing ''Abidie With Me." Rev. Mr. Bradley followed with an im pressive prayer and read a scriptural selection from wnich he made some ap propriate remarks,references to tne life of tne deceased. Stie was an earnest Christian woman and held strong re ligious views which she frequently dis pusBed with her pastor ana she died ceacefully and calmly in the faith of her Savior. She was an earnest, in tense woman, so much of her personal ity entering into her conversation with others and seemed to give the best of herself to her friends. Mrs. Burright was a member of the Congregational church, and to which she was strongly attached. At the close of Mr. Brad ley's remark the choir sang "Nearer My God to Thee" and with the benedic tion closed the services. Some very handsome floral offerings graced the casket which was borne to the hearse in waiting by F. M. Hammer, H. R. Kibbee, J. G. McCartney, J. K. Smith, Joseph Leviuger and A. E. Hitchcock. The remains were then taken to Grace land cemetery for interment and were followed by a long line of carriages. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Miles of Eldora Iowa, attended the services, Mrs. Mile, being a sister of Mrs. Burright. A host, of friends in thiscity sympathize strong ly with Mr. Burright and his little son, in the loss of wife and mother, whose influence will be missed in the tender years of the little fellow's youth. Pleased Their Audience. It has been over two years eince a dramatic company has made its ap pearance in Mitchell, due to the fact that there was no opera house here since the rink burned. However, the Frank Long Dramatic company sur mounted the difficulty and converted the Corn Palace into a temparory opera house by erecting their own stage and sufficient scenery to cover it. Of course after putting up the rigging therewas not very much room left for B.tage settings and the actors. The company opened in a southern drama, "In Old Mizzouri," which brought out some pretty good character acting. Mr. Long was unable to be present and his place was taken by W. N. Gray, who learned the part in the morning and played it the same evening. Mr. Long was called to Austin, Minn., by the death of a relative. The play is one that does not bring out the full work of the company bnt they made it a complete success in every detail and we anticipate seeing some fine dramatic work done before the week is over Every member of the company is an actor in the fullest sense of the word and the people of Mitchell can depend on getting their money's worth every night. Miss Thomas, the leading lady, demonstrated that she is a cleveractress when the opportunity comes, Mr. Hat field does some good work in the old man character and Miss Maher and Mr. Collier made a hit in their song and dance. The Corn Palace had an air of chilliness that was any thing but comfortable and between the acts the big crowd endeavored to keep warm, but their endeavors met with poor results. We have not heard that anybody was frozen to death but there were several narrow escapes. Are Atter That llallroatl. Armour Chronicle-Tribune: F. Le Cocq, Jr., and I. H. Welch took the train last Friday, on a junketing trip to Minneapolis, St. Paul, Sioux Falls and Mitchell. They are a committee sent by the citizens of Charles Mix and northern Douglas, to see what can be done to hurry up the railroad from Mitchell to Wheeler. Suppose the boys will bring the road back with them. Seriously though, it would be only simple justice to a people who have waited long and patiently for something they should have had years ago, and we hope they will succeed in their efforts. Got Their Divorces. W. H. Helwig received two decrees of divorce Saturday afternoon. One was for Mrs. Emma Emerson, who was granted her decree by Judge Haney on the ground of cruel and inhuman treat ment. The other was issued to Frank Lown whose wife deserted him some time ago. Saw an Juaiau Wedding. John Wood says he saw a wedding ceremony performed at Chamberlain Sunday between a white man and an Indian maiden and John accompanied them this far Monday on their bridal trip to the Yankton reservation. I I Indian Geutl".css to Animals. In the cause of humanitarianism the North American Indian should hold the foremost place. It is truly said of him that the one supreme law of his household forbids cruelty to children and animals. In my residence among them, during the various degrees of their adoption of me as friend, sister and chief, I have never seen a blow in flicted upon a child or an animal. The Indian believes tho animal king dom to bo endowed with reasoning faculties. I-Ie has a tradition that in the first creation of animals they were gifted with the power of speech that by some evil necromancy, rather than by loss of spirit, this faculty was lost, but that the endowment of thought and motive still remains. He also believes that the animals are endowed with immortality, and that by way of com pensation for suffering in this life the fur and feather folk will hereafter re ceive peace for pain and gentleness for cruelty. In tho totemic devices, tabular stones and pictographic records of his tribal history, the Indian represents the ani mals and birds as his cohelpers and com panions. In his tribal organization, in his mythology, family relationships, heraldry, religion, necromancy, secret societies and national laws he is largely aided by animal example, counsel and invention. The creation of the earth he believes to have been the result of a con vention of waterfowls and amphibious animals.—Chief Ya-ie-wa-noh in Our Animal Friends. Haunibal's Many Reverses. Hannibal was first made an exile, not, as commonly supposed, through Roman influence so much as from the personal animosity of his countrymen. After tho defeat of Zama he turned his attention to the political affairs of Car thage and inaugurated a system of re form, which he carried out so rigorously that he soon found himself intensely hated by a large faction of the Car thaginians. Behind him was the hon esty of the country, however, and find ing he could not be swerved from his purpose the rogues in office attempted to assassinate him. Finding that his death had been determined on, Hannibal left Carthage, went to Tyre and thence to tho dominions of Antiochus, whom he soon enlisted in war with Rome. The war proved a failure, and Antiochus was ordered to surrender Hannibal, who got news of the demand and made his escape. Roman hatred followed him to Bithy nia, and finding himself on the point of being given up he died from poison. The story that ho once had a meeting at Ephesus with his old enemy, Scipio Afrioanus, is told on fairly good au thority. Interviewing a Public Benefit. Many people are in the habit of com plaining bitterly of the intrusion of the newspaper reporter into every nook and corner of the state and even into the privacy of home, but in this extreme publicity is really to be found a new means of social, industrial and govern mental reform and progress. As Emer son said, 'Light is the best policeman.'' There are many exaggerations, perver sions and inaccuracies in this publicity, but on the whole it is a beneficent and a new agency for the promotion of the public welfare. Publicity exposes not only wickedness, but also folly and bad judgment. It makes crime and political corruption more difficult and far less attractive. So new is this force in the world that many people do not yet trust it or perceive its immense utility.— President Eliot in Forum. seaweeds. The lorgest plants iu the world are seaweeds. One tropical and subtropical variety is known which measures iu length, when it roaches its full develop ment, at least 000 feet. Seaweeds do not receive any nourishment from the sediment at the bottom or borders of the sea, but only from air and mineral mat ters held in solution in the sea water. Between 1846 and 1876 scores of pat ents for producing electric light were taken out in almost every country in Enrone.
