On Sundfty, June 10,1900, at the home of the bride's step-father, Mr. Otto Kil Ulcer, seven mile* north-east of Kellerton, the marriage of Mr. Harvey L. Teale and Miss Marie L. Rueas was solemnized. Kev. Charles Knoll, pastor of the Meth odist church, officiated. The ceremony was preformed in the presence of about 50 relatives and friends. Promptly at 12 o'clock while the weddingmarch wad being played by Miss Kate Teale, the groom's sister, the young couple took their station in the parlor and the clergyman spoke the words that unitep their destinies. After congratulations, a sumptuous wedding repast was served. The bride was attired in beautiful gown of mercerized mull, with lace and ribbon trimming, and carried a boquet of apple blossuras. She is one of Decatur county's most estimable and popular young ladies, and is in every way worthy of the young man to whom she was joined in' mar riage. The groom who has been a resi dent of Kellerton most of his life, is at present engaged in the furniture business being the junior member of the firm of H. L. Teale & Co., and is one of our most enterprising business men. Mr. and Mrs. Teale will spend a week or two visiting relatives and friends, after which they will be at home in Kellerton. They received many beautiful and val uable presents. The Olobe joins their many friends in wishing them a happy and prosperous journey through this new life which they have been so auspi ciously launched.—Kellerton Globe. Would not Suffer so Again for Fifty Times, the Price. 1 awoke last night with severe pains in mv stomach. I never felt BO badly in all my life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & Mc Curdy's drug Btore and they recom mended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like magic and one dose'fixed me alright. It certainly is the finest thing 1 ever used for stomach trouble. 1 shall not be without it in my home hereafter, for I should not care to. endure the suffer ings of last nightfor fifty times its price. —G.

The closing exercises were held in Mr. Uayn's grove after which the company were treated to ice cream anjiti'ake furnished by the pat rons of the school. This came as a sur prise to the pupils, but was greatly ap preciated by theoTi. Although many of them had never bad miuch practice in literary work, it being this first attempt for many of them, they acquitted them selves with credit. Some of the patrons added interest and amusement by re citing pieces tbey had spoken when they were school boys. The. occasion was made mora «qjoyable by good music furnished by the Pease brothers. By request Edd and Frank Garber sang the "Lost Maine," After an hour spent iir^iaiting and talking of other last days/the company broke up about^ve o^jj^^geturning in good spirits IPSIIIWT1 EHEERFUURMAWDI to care, PrlwlB Was Durrant Innocent? Newspaper readers will readily recall the sensational murder of Blanche La ment and Minnie Williams by Theodore Durrant some time ago in the "state of California. In reference therefore the Salt Lake Tribune is responsible for the following: One of the saddest and most atro cious legal murders so far recorded is that ol Theodore Durrant, hanged in California a few years since for the mur der of Blanche Lamont. and Minnie Williams, a most diabolical double crime, its very liendishness hardly have ing a parallel in the annal of vice, and its perpetrator was sought high and low for several days, the whole world hoping for bis capture and punishment. In the meantime tlieso-culled astute detect ives and police authorities concluded a victim was needed, and after fastening their clutches on younc Durrant proceed ed to collect what they termed evidence, the whole mass of htnll in all probability being manufactured for the pupose of conviction, and all of circumstantial nature. Durrant stoutly maintained from hisarrest up to the moment of ex-, ecution that he was innocent of the hor rible charge, but forsooth he could not explain every moment of his presence at certain times, he was convicted, and hanged, and once more the majesty of the law, along with the thick-skulled theory of these police wiseacres, was duly vindicated. Now the sequel: A few days ago, on his death bed, Rev. Gibson, who at the time was pastor of Emanuel church where one of the mur ders was committed .confesses that he kill ed both of the victims. He was an active and important witness at the trial of poor Durrant, the reason of which is now quite plain, p.nd also in view of the fact that suspicion was strongly directed to him at the time. In view of the prominence which the newspapers gave to the murder and the subsequent trial of the accused, we are at a loss to understand why the alleged confession of the Rev. Gibson has seem ingly attracted so little attention. How ever, we reproduce the above for what it may be worth. How To Cure a Sprain. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doc tor 1 called on said at first it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said 1 had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Cham berlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one half of a 50 ceut bottle cured me entire ly. I now_ recommend it to all my friends.—F. "A. BABCOCK, Erie, Pa. For sale by W. A. Alexander, druggist.
