PLEASANTON'S GRADUATES. spectators were given an exhibition of AT REST i hour of nine, Miss Biaker began the wedding march, to the accompaniment of which there appeared descending the utairs; Miss Ruth Moody and Miss Lutitia Blakey, each of whom carried an end of a cable of daisies Which extended from each side of the foot of the stairway to the entrance of the rear parlor where the ceremony wus performed. -W Miss Jessie Blakey came next, bearing a floral basket within which, upon a bed of sweet peas, lay the gold band the token of the groom's love and affection and of his promise to love, cherish and protect the' one who entrusted her all to him. Following Miss Jessie, came Miss Rebecca Moody and Miss Eleanor Blakey, in the order named, each attired in pink and each bearing a bouquet of pink and white carnations tied pink satin ribbon. Closely following.

MissEleanor the bride appeared upon the arm of Mr. T.J. Blakey, who gave her away. They marched to the rear parlor where the bridegroom awaited them; and there, facing the guests assembled, with a background of palms, ferns and beautiful roses, these two young people who merit and, enjoy the esteem of the whole community, werey the Rev. Whit-tington, a Congregational minister, of Lawrence, joined in' holy wedlock.

After the simple, but imposing ceremony, the whole assemblage pressed around and congraulated the bride and groom. The remainder of the evening was spent at refreshments and entertainment, The bride wore a very beautiful costume of white stain striped grenadine over silk. The waist was made with white gathered chiffon yoke and high gathered chiffon stock. The skirt was full arid plain, except a deep white flounce around the bottom. White gloves and a single white rose in her hair completed her costume, and she carried a large bouquet of white bridal roses.

Tfce groom wore a conventional black, and as the bride and groom stood side by side to assume the binding obligation, tliey were indeed an unusually fine looking couple. Many presents were received, con-spicious among them being a beautiful mahogony cabinent with beveled plate glass mirrors in back, the token of affection and esteem of the Whist Club, of which the bride and groom have long been members There was another present conspicious also, not for its intrinsic worth or value, but for its novelty. It was a case of seventeen spoons sixteen of silver and one of gold the gift of the voung men of the Whist Club. To thoroughly appreciate this present it-is necessary to know thwt the bride, insofar as she has any politics, is a free silver democrat, while the groom is a staunch gold, standard republican. Each spoon is inscribed with some campaign motto.

Cut glass, fine china, and decorative ware, Mexican drawn work, old shoes and quantities -of rice were among the many presents. About midnight the bride and groom were accompanied to the Memphis depot, where they took the New Orleans express for the south to spend their honeymoon, by a crowd of their friends sped them on their journey amid a shower of blessings, ricegood wishes and old shoes. -They will be at home to their friends alter the 10th of July, at their residence on West 10th street. We desire. to join in the hearty -congratulations extended this estimable young couple byall their acquaintances.

Last Day of School in No. 2. No. 2, MissSisler's room, was. tastefully decorated with pictures, flowers 1 Behold how her works do follow her In an hutnlrie home amid the scene ot a minister's life whs Ede Scott born, in the year 1844.

Her father, a Protestant minister ot the Methodist faith, and an ardent sympathizer with the temperance work, on his 1 ing lied, pledged this dear daughter to U9e her life to combat the power of the demon, drink. From boih father and mother she inherited Btrong personalities. Kind bv nature, clear in judgment and strong in resolve for her to know the right was to do the right and as Brother Tucker in his beautitul tribute to her at the funeral said, She was gener-erallv right' In her early married lite, one atter-noon, she was lying on a sofa opposite a window. There she saw the face of her brother who was peering between the cut tains; eyes bloodshot, face bloated and heated, and drunkard written in each feature, she sprang to her feet and exclaimed, 44 So help me God I will not rest while life shall last until every rum seller closes his shop and the smoke ot every distillery closed forever I How well she has fulfilled this vow I need not ask the people of Pleasanton nor those of Linn countv. Bro Tucker truly said what Miss Willard was to this nation, Ede Moon was to Pleasanton.

We say what Frances E. Willard was to the world, Ede Moon was to Linn countv. To many she could not be understood. Her strong utterances were often thought to be unkind, simply because of her earnestness She believed in a pure life, for man and woman alike. She detested underhanded trickery and so expressed herself, but while haling the offense she ever felt kindly toward the offender, and many a boy and girl, man' a discouraged man and woman have felt her substantial help both spiritually and financially.

Others may come and go but there will never be another ICde Moon in Pleasanton. Miss her, God in heaven only knows how, Her very name was a menace to evil; her name a household word to the needy. Even in death while readv to meet the Mas ter she wanted to live she felt there was so much left undone, but God had a higher. calling for her. As He called Abraham Lincoln from the wood pile to the presidential chair, so has He' called Ede Moon to a broader, nobler arid 'grander life We bid you good bye, dear, counselor and friend we believe to day you associate with father and mother, Fiances Willard and all the redeemed hosts who have gone before.

To dear little George, the adopted child of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, we say remember and pattern alter her counsel and commands; believe in the God of bur mother, and let your life be such that you shall greet. her when called up higher. Dear si3ter, the beautitul flowers which were placed in thy casket will perish, but not so the' good works thou hast done in Pleasanton. Truly it can be said of thee, "She hath done what she could." Therefore, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Pleasanton, resolve, That God in his all-wise providenec had a higher calling for our dear sister Ede Moon, and called her from labor to reward that we bow humble submission, knowing God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to -perform; that we extend to Moon our heartfelt sympathy, and congratulate him that he has ever stood as her faithful champion and friend in all her grand works 44 For God and home and native land." the game seldom witnessed between ameteur clubs. A large crowd was out to see the sport, as all Pleasanton recognized that a game between these two clubs would be It was a clean game devoid of wrangling and all becoming conduct.

Not a word was spoken on the diamond that would offend any lady in the land, and the manager and captain of the home team informs us thall all games during the season will be conducted along this line. It was a fine game of ball, and our boys were elated over the victory. Following is the score: Pleasanton 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 04T Rich Hill 0 12 0 1110 1-7. A return game is promised our boys in the near future. Rich Hill boys are loud in their praise of the hospitable manner in which the people of Pleasanton generally treated them.

And when the Pleasanton boys come to Rich Hill, Manager Myers desires that our people show them every courtes and treat them as gentlemen, and thereby return the compliment. Rich Hill Review. CHILDREN'S DAY EXERCISES. The Program at the Presbyterian Church Sunday Evening, June 11. The largest audience ever assembled in the Presbyterian church was present at the Sunday service which Was given over to Children's Day.

Tin house was packed before the opening song and after the lecture room was filled and pulpit chairs given to the audience the ushers claim they, turned the people away by the dozens It was a banner Children's Day Old and young were delighted and, the collection, for, the- world-wide Sunday. school work was large. Mrs. Tucker, who had charge of the program, showed great efficiency in handling and organizing children. She was assisted by Mrs.

Bahl and Miss Dennis who worked hard to make the occasion a success. The evening opened with a spirited song service and Mr. and Mrs. Tucker sang in their usual soul-inspiring style "They Crucified my Saviour," after which a class exercise by the boys; oration by Eleanor Blakey, which was followed by Margaret Lyon in a recitation; then came class exercise by 11 girls, and a recitation by Mary Tansey; the primary class next entertained the delighted audience; Inez Phillips gave a recitation next; Mr. and Mrs.

Tucker sang again, after, which Florence Kent gave a beautiful recitation "Jesus Paid the Fare," which was followed by a solo by Elmeretta Parquette which was splendid. A short talk by Mr. Latimer ami Mr. Tucker. A closiny exercise by eight gii Is "At the Cross." The, benediction, closed a most successful Children's Day exercise.

The church, was beautifully decorated with lligs, bunting and flowers. The Sunday is 'growing rapidly aud'the -superintendent. J. M. Bright, deserves much credit and is to be complimented on having under him such excellent, willing and hard working -teachers and assistants.

The church and Sunday school is looking to and ex I ecting, a bright future in the new mining center. BLAKER-SA1ITH. One pf the most brilliant, weddings it haVWeh he privilege of Pleasanton people to witness was solemnized at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J.

Blakey on Wednesday 14th; he contracting parties being Miss a rga're B. i 1 1 1 si 0 rs 1 a k-iey, and Mr. William C. Biaker, of B. F.

Biaker Co of this city. The Blakey borne, a model of "comfort and beauty in itself, was made all the more beautiful by a tasty arrange: ment of floral decorations. Notwith standing the threatening weather, the house was rilled with guests and the many friends of the contracting parties and their relatives. Shortly before nine o'clock Miss Rigirs, of Lawrence, rendered a beautiful vocal solo, accompanied by Miss Eleanor Biaker, of Kansas City. As the old fashioned clock tolled the Rich Hilt Finally la Defeating the Pleasanton Millers.

Last week was a bad one for champions. Bob Fitzsimmons, the pugilistic idol was shattered aud went 'down to defeat at the hands of J. J. Jeffries. The last year's champion base-ball team of Kansas City, was defeated five games out of six by rank outsiders and lastly the Pleasanton Millers met with their first defeat in nearly two seasons.

Rich Hill turned the trick and went home happy This is their third trial at the Millers to take their laurels from them. The other two attempts resulted in their defeat once by a score of 2 to 1 and once by a score of 4 to 3. It is bad policy to make excuses when your favorites are beaten, but we cannot help but remark that Rich Hill did not defeat the same Millers that stood them and other equally good nines off last year without the least possible trouble. PI easan ton's favorite second baseman and one of the heaviest hitters on the team was out of the game on account of sickness, and Charley Seright, the acknowledged peer of all the backstops in this part of the coun-trj was out of position with a smashed iger, which was largely the cause of the Millers1 defeat. It was a great game however, and Rich Hill put up a great article of ball, their twiler Wall Ferell doing some pretty work, although it seemed to us that their umpire favored him on his high balls, but he deserves great credit for turning what seemed to be certain defeat, after the first two innings, into a victory.

Captain Porter, of the Rich Hill team had his men well coached and steadied them down nicely when they appeared to be going up into the air. The score at the close was Rich "'Hill .7, Pleasanton 4. Pleasanton played a great game under the circumstances and with their old players back in their positions and a little practice they will be able to compete with Rich Hill or any of the clubs in this section. Primary Room's Last Day Exercise. In Miss Wickard's room, No.

1, the walls were hung with bunting in the national colors. Here, too, was to be seen an assortment of work by the pupils, consisting of writing, drawing, color and farm study. The exercises consisted chiefly of songs containing happy children's thoughts and accompanied by exercises. One interesting feature was jm prompted quotations from the sayings of Benjamin Franklin and explanations of the same by the children. The little peopie as weil as the teacher were highly gratified by the presence of so large a number of parents; and on the other, hand the efforts of the smaller child to help in the entertainment, were duly appreciated by all those present.

Sunday Services at the Presbyterian Church. Last Sunday morning's sermon at the Presbyterian church was pro'nounc. ed by those who heard it as helpful to spiritual life and christian' Our reporter, gathered the" "following notes which we give briefly Text-Romans 1, 15, and 16. 'I am now ready to preach the gospel in Rome, for I am not ashamed of the gospel 'of' Christ for it is the power of God unto Salvation. Ancient Rome, was described, its citizens, manners, customs, and religions and in the midst of this pagan wickedness Paul's desire was that the gospel should be preached there.

He knew the gospel could overpower the wickedness of Rome and develop in that a church of the" first The speaker then gave a number of reasons why Paul was not ashamed of the gospel over all other religions and systems one of the greatest being the transformation of human lives.
