Weds His Inamorita Between Trivs of His Car, What might be termed a rapid tran-| sit marriage has set Edwardsville, Ill, tongues wagging. The contracting rties were Leonard Shannon, a con- luctor on the St. Louis & Belleville Traction company's line, whose run is from Collinsville to Edwardsville, and Miss Lucy McLeer, whose father is a hotelkeeper on the route of the line. The young woman has been the idol of motormen and conductors for some time. She smiled on all pleas- antly, and their brass buttons were So attractive to her as has been’ Ad- miral Schley’s to Washington women, “Len” Shannon, however, was her Preference. For two years he has doffed his gold-laced cap to his in- amorita, Yesterday he boarded his car at Collinsville and walked nervously to the motorman. “How soon can you make this trip?” he inquired. “I want to lay off a few minutes in Ed- wardsville,” Motorman John Bauer glanced rough the car, saw Miss McLeer, ho was the only passenger, smiled complacently and shot a few bolts into the propelling machinery, Conductor Shannon had made all arrangements by telephone, and a messenger was waiting with the mar- riage license. There was a short sprint to the courthouse, where a jus- tice was waiting for the couple, A few sentences concluding with the phrase, “I pronounce you man and wife,” and the pair departed for the car, “This car for Collinsville,” shouted the husband as he pulled the rope and started on his wedding journey, WOULD BUILD ACADEMY. Board of Visitors Compares West Point Barracks to a County Poorhouse, The most important feature of the report of the board of visitors to the West Point military academy is a rec- ommendation that the academy be rebuilt. The report says: “It has been nearly 100 years since re-Improvements have been on he patchwork plan. There is but one building constructed by the gov. ernment at the post that is in har’ mony with this day and generation. All the others are old, uncomfortable and entirely inadequate to meet pres- ent conditions. The policy pursued in this regard at Annapolis should be speedily adopted at West Point. “Putting the matter in a - few words, it can be truthfully said that the barracks in. which the cadets sleep and study and live when not in recitation room or on the drill ground are little better equipped than the barracks at the average county poorhouse. In many of the rooms three cadets are crowded. The ventilation of these rooms is in ac- cordance with hygienic notions of a century ago, and is simply execrable.” The report says that the board is satisfied that hazing has been eradi- cated. The report refers to athletics, nd says that cadets members of the baseball and football teams co: POOOIOOOODOOISWSOOOC OO NE % WHAT TO BUY FOR CHRISTMAS, That is a question that puzzles almost every one who buy Christmas presents. Why not buy something useful? A pair of nice dress shoes would make a nice present for any member of the family.

HOWARD'S FRIENDS FOILED In an Attempt to Rescue Him. | Officers Having in Charge Kentucky Mountaineer Charged With Com- plicity in the Assassination Goebel of Gov. Outwit Friends of Prisoner. Corbin, Ky., Dec. 8.—Friends of Berty Howard, the mountain feud leader, charged with complicity in the assassination of Gov. Goebel, made an attempt to rescue him last night, but were defied and outwitted by Sheriff Broughton and Conductor Dooley and engineer Langan of the Louisville & Nashville night express to Louisville, with the result that Howard was safely delivered at Frankfort to-day. The railroad officials were warned ofan attempt at rescue and the passengers in the day coaches were transferred to the sleepers before reaching Pineville. There Broughton defied a crowd of Howard’s friends and got the prisoner on the train and held the crowd at bay from locked doors. The mountain men then held up the train and commanded the train crew to back the train to Mid- dlesboro. The engineer refused to back the train without an order from the conductor, asa freight train was closely following. Conductor Dooley also refused to back the train, and when covered with a pistol, said boldly: “You may kill me if you wish, but I shall never back this train.” About this time Engineer Langan, by a ruse, had gottenrid of the three men who had overpowered him in the engine, among them a deputy U, S. marshal, and sent the train ahead 80 quickly that the conducter had ‘The following is a Comparative State- ment of Deposits for each six months preceeding last official statement of “fe Faves anh Nov. 23, 1898, $ 74,083 49 May 23, 1899, 92,020 48 Nov. 23, 1899, 112,392 88 May 23, 1900, 122,432 47 Nov. 23, 1900, 138 334 OL May 23, 1901, Nov. 23, 1901, 216,862 26 249,147 / a DIRECTORS, JUDGE CLARK WIX, J.

So Says St. Louix Pastor Who Deems Syncopated Music Redolent of the Midway, In a sermon on “The Mortality of Music,” delivered at St-- George’s Episcopal chureh, St. Louis, the other night, Rev. Robert A. Hollan emphat- ieally denounced “ragtime” music and compared it with the music heard in St. Louis on the occasion of the recent visit of Theodore Thomas to the city, » which music he declared to be “food for the soul, a transport, a rapture, a hallelujah which attested the joy of ‘.. virtue and the bliss of perfect char- acter,” “Ragtime,” said the preacher, “is ob- scene, degrading, unworthy of produc- y tion.

In spite of the fact that the work dyspepsia means Jiterally bad cook, it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook if they begin the Christmas dinner with little appetite and end it with distress or nausea. It may not be fair for any to do that —let us hope so for the sake of the cook! The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad stomach, rather than a bad cook, and for a weak stomach there is nothing else equal to Hood's Sar- saparilla. It gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia, creates appetite, and makes eating the pleasure it should be.
