passed along and every Elk in town
and several hundred who were not j

bvterian parsonage while the Rev.
George E. Good was tying the nuptial
knot early Saturday evening.
When Mr. Slyster and his bride,
accompanied by Dave Studler and
Frank Davis, stepped into the waiting
carriage the horses suddenly disap
peared and about forty Elks' attached
a rope to the vehicle and drew the
couple through the thoroughfare,
much to the delight of the assembled
multitudes.
After the wedding supper was
served there was a reception given
by the ladies of the Klks' at Elks'
club for Mrs. Slyster.
Last night Fred Schrengt-r of the
Board of Trade cafe served a delic
ious and elaborate supper to the brid
and groom and a small party of inti
mate friends consisting of Dave Stud
ler, W. K. Cilmour, Frank Davis and

We could make clothes
It has no labor market from which to secure
desirable cutters and tailors ?
It cannot afford to icstall a modern plant
designed to reduce cost of production ?
It doesn't do sufficient business to enable it
to buy woolens direct from the mills ?
It cannot keep abreast of metropolitan styles
and workmanship.
Therefore, we send our orders
for fine made-to-measure clothes to
Ed. V. Price & Co., of Chicago.
We can take your measure the
same way we would if running shops
here, and furnish you your clothes,
made as you want them, at 50 $ less
than we could make them locally.
Won't you call today?

ESQUMO BOY WILL SEEK POLE
(By United Preas.)
NKW YORK. July 12? Meme Wal
lace, the Esqulmo boy who was
brought to America two years ago by
Commodore Peary from Greenland,
will return to Greenland in a short
time and says that he will discover
the North pole.
His reasons for believing that he
can succeed where so many have fail
ed are as follows:
"The explorers who are trying to
find the North Pole now don't know
how to do it. They fit out com
fortable ships, with a crew of fifty,
carrying electric lights and things to
make life pass pleasantly up there
when they know It will be lonesome.
"They stay in a comfortable harbor
until spring and then make a dash to
see how far they can go. When the
summer is over they, start back home
and when they return they write
books and magazine articles.
"The North Hole will never be dis
covered in such a way. The man
who finds it will go as far as he
can in one season and make a per
manent camp there until next season.
Then he will continue on his journey,
and in such way must succeed. That
is what I want to do."
