' A FAIR OCTOBER BRIOi. WEDDING OF M. D. WEBER MISS .UZZIE ENGELM # AND Literary Mots*. Thelatest and largest, the nasal ac­ curate and the best illustrated, is the true Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. It costs enough to be valuable, but Is worth all it costs. The latest and true Webster is no reprint of obsolete ma­ terial on defective plates. It bears the same relation to cheap reprints that the palace vestibuled passenger train and equipment of the present day bears to the creaking, rattling cabooses and strap rails of forty years ago. Apropos of the difficulties in China is the supreme difficulty of its language and written characters. These are il­ lustrated and made clearer for us in the November "New Lippincott" Magazine Some amusing historic facts shine forth from an analysts of the Ideograms. Nothing pleasss the leisurely reader so much as to take vicorious journeys in the wake of a literary Cook & Son to the "homes and haunts" of some great author or other. This is a never-failing diversion which is at the same time an education. Hence the charm of "In the Footprints of Bryant," by Dr. Wolfe, in the November New Lippincott. A rare picture of the "Thanatopsis House" ac­ companies the paper. Dr. W. EL Lewis, Lawrenceville, Va., writes, "I am using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in my practice among severe cases4 of indigestion and find it an admirable remedy." Many hundreds of physicians depend upon the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in stomach troubles. It digests what you eat, and allows you to eat all the good food you need, providing you do not overload your stomach. Gives instant relief and a permanent cure. Julia A.

A wedding of special interest was solemnized in St. Mary's church last Tuesday morning. The principals in this happy event were Mr. M..D. Weber and Miss Lizzie Engeln. Promptly at nine o'clock the bridal pair attended by Misses Josephine En­ geln and Katie Weber and Messrs. Peter Weber and Joseph Engeln, entered the church and in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends were made husband and wifo. The beautiful and impressive ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Deering and nuptial high mass was celebrated. The bride looked charming and regal in her exquisite robe of white satin. The tulle veil was held in plaoe by a wreath of buds and she carried a bou­ quet of bride roses. The bridesmaids were becomingly gowned in pink and carried pink roses. The groom and his attendants wore the conventional black. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Engeln and has passed her entire life in this community. She is possessed of many personal graces and is esteemed and admired by a large circle of friends. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mm. Anton Weber and is one of our promi­ nent young business men. He, too, has passed his entire life in this village and counts his friends by the soore. Immediately after the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the residence of the groom's parents and the happy couple left on the afternoon train for an extended tour of the principal southern cities. They were the recepients of a costly array of beautiful presents, evincing the hi^h esteem in which they are held by their many friends. The Plaindealer extends Mr. and Mrs. Weber its heartiest congratulations, trusting that their married life will be crowned with happiness and prosperty. Weekly School Note*.

SM A. P. BAER HEARD FROM. MoCaUtbarg Mercantile Compalty 6i«H \ a Successful Plcnie. The following article is taken from the McCallsburg, la., Pilot. A. P. Baer, a former McHenry merchant, isi manager of the McCallsburg Mercan­ tile Company. "Last Saturday was a gals day for the town of McCallsburg. The first annual picnic by the McCallsburg Mer­ cantile Company was held in Peck's grove adjoining town on the east. Ad­ joining it also is Drake and Newcomer's second addition which was placed on the market. S. L. Iverson was the auc­ tioneer and sold thirty-six lots in an hour for over $2,000. The Radcliffe Military Band was present and races of all kinds were carried on according to the program. McCallsburg won in the tug of war against Radcliffe. "Rev. Hersh, of the Lntheran church, was president of the exercises at the grove. The speakers of the day were Rev. J. W. Henderson, of Nevada, anil Hon. F. H. Noble, of Radcliffe. "The weather was all that could have been desired, being warm and pleasant, there were seats and a speaker's stand erected, and the gorgeous decor&tions of fiags gave the town a Fourth of Jnly holiday appearance. The Twentieth Century Magaslne. A new centnry brings new conditions and new methods of meeting them. Fifty years ago the average American was content to get his news once a week. Now- he demands it twice a day, with relays hourly when things are happening in Africa and China. The Curtis Publishing company bought the Saturday Evening Post be­ cause it believed that the public which demands its newspaper twice a day, would want a popular literary once a week, provided it adjusted itself to the new conditions and rightly ganged the demand of the twentieth century. And that demand, it felt, would be for a magazine of the best quality that money and brains could make, sold at as low a price as modern machinery and methods could produce it To improve the quality and at the same time lower the price of a publica­ tion, two things are necessary--a great circulation and the best machinery thai human ingenuity can devise. The ftMft has been achieved, for the Saturday Evening Poet has a weekly circulation of a quarter of a million, and new sub­ scriptions are coming in at the rate of a thousand a day. Again, its ten new presses have just been installed in new eight-story building, which, together with its old facilities, give it the largest and most complete periodical plant in the world. This addition to the equipment of the Curtis Publishing company, with the auxiliary machinery specially designed for the Saturday Evening Post, the whole involving an outlay of half a mil­ lion dollars, will enable it to lessen the mechanical cost of the magazine; and to print the edition of 500,000 weekly toward which it is rapidly growing. And this cheapening of cost and increase of circulation will permit the publishers to make permanent the price whioh, under old conditions, they were able to put out only as a special and limitid of* fer--a year's subscription to The Satur­ day Evening Post, fifty-two numbers, including the regular monthly .double numbers and the special holiday for one dollar.
