They feared that the promise of the crown attorney would not be kept, and decided to get away. It was Holden who did the fine work, and picked lock after lock. Twenty odd years previous he had been a convict in the Portsmouth penitenâ€" tiary, and was then employed in the Iockshop, when, under the contract system he worked for the late L. B. Spacer, of Kingston. Locks for jails all over the country were being made and he and Charles Durand, who had "I remember the day well on which Ponton and Mackie were plac- ed in custody.” said an old newspa- per man. “Pare. the master mind, when arrested across the line, turned his face towards the only avenue for escape left open; and gave the po- lice the required information.

Just fifteen years ago the town or Napanee was made famous by the rolibery of the Dominion bank, and a. few months later, Holden and‘ Pare, two experts in lock manipulation. advertised Napahee and its jail by their daring escape.

The cerc;..3ny was performed by Rev. F. M. Baum. of Portland, the bridal couple standing beneath an arch of locust and beautiful Caroline Testate roses. The yOUng couple were unattended. The bride wore a gown of pearl grey chiflon cloth with draped skirt and carried a sheaf of white roses and ferns. Miss Alice Thurston, of St. Helen's Hall, Port- land, cousin of the bride, rendered the wedding march. Only the imme- diate relatives and friends were pre- sent. After the ceremony a dainty dinner was served, the decorations being prettily carried out in pink and white roses. Later in"the evening the bri- dal party motored to Albany, de- parting on the Oregon Electric for Portland and other points west. On their return Mr. and! Mrs. Cougar will reside on their ranch at Suver. Going away the bride wore a. suit of grey cloth fana trimmed with white, and a. white Mil-an hat trimmed with flowers and satin. The bride is a daughter of Mr. Jas. H. Thurston, formerly of Fenelon Falls, Ontario, where they resided until four years ago, when they moved to Suver, Oreâ€" gon, where they are engaged exten- sively in farming. ors. A wireless telephone demands currents of frequency greatly higher than the frequency of the sound wav- es produced by speech, while the ef- ficiency of the wireless telegraph is greatly increased thereby. Hitherto it has been impossible to construct a dynamo of large output which is ca- Dable of producing such currents. WEDDING Mimi Mr. Durtnall’s invention, it is said, overcomes all these difficulties. It Produces currents of high frequency, and also of variable frequency. The generator consists of a prime alter- nator, which produces polyphase a1- t‘ernating currents of given frequency and voltage. This frequency and voltage by means of a series of ma. chines working on the same shafting, and known as “transformer generat- ors," is stepped up to a very high degree without increasing the revoluâ€" tion 01: speed.

For a country town that depends upon rural trade, this is the very first point to be consider- ed. Saturday Evening Post. This rather extensive stagnation or decay in country-town population in that great agricultural region ap- proximately bounded by the Missouri, Ohio and Hudson rivers is described by a correspondent as appalling; It certainly indicates that the country town should take stock of itself. Towns in the last census period" in the United, States gained tires.- inhab- itants for every one that rural dist- ricts gained; but all those living in incorporated places of less than twenty-five hundred inhabitants are classified by the census as rural pop-? ulation. The gain in population. broadly speaking, was confined to towns of more than twenty-five hun- dred inhabitants; and-a table. prepar- ed by the National Federation of Re- tail Merchants shows more than six thousand country towns, in eight states, that actually lost population in the ten years. This table includes one hundred and fifty-six countyâ€" seats in Missouri, Iowa. Indiana. Michigan and Illinois. out of a. total of four hundred and ninety countryâ€" saats in those states. The farmer hates to go over a. sloppy tow-n road as much as any- body and the merchants lose his trade to a great extent during the spring and fall seasons of bad roads and rainy weather when in reality- he has more time on his hands than at any other time of year and would prdba’hly take advantage of the shack- ness to do his town shopping if the roads were in good condition. And the United States is no differ- ent in this respect than Canada. A town that gets a bad name for poor roads can not hope to attract more population and industries. Neither will a manufacturer come to a town where his teaming costs him double or is well nigh impossible on account of bad roads, Lindsay’s new pavements if extend- ed on the main thoroughfares throughout the town will prove the best Investment the town has ever made both in actual saving to the merchants, carters and people at large and on account of the favor- able impressicn the good roadways will make in inducing manufacturers and new citizens to come here.
