The groom was Benjamin Clow and the bride was Miss Sarah Peck. Mr. and Mrs. Clow have been residents of Stephenson county for fifty- one years, and during this time have established such a wide acquaintanceship throughout the country that the announcement that they are celebrating the anniversary of their marriage today, will bring a stream of congratulatory messages to their beautiful country home-near Bolton that their hearts aud bring a renewal of their youthful spirits. When Mr.

and Mrs. Clow were married, almost insurmountable obstacles beset their pathway. They were not endowed with much of this world's goods, but they had brave hearts and a spirited sense of earnestness.

She was brought tip to spin and weave cloth and do housework, so when she married Clow at the tender age'of 17 years, she came well equipped for the battle of Ufa. Soon after their marriage they contracted for a farm, built buildings on it, but. they couldn't meet the payments on it, so it was lost. They then embarked iii tho saw mill business, and in five years had accumulated enough money to meet all their 'ilebt-and have a balance.

They came" west "and landed in Freeport in 1855 with $200 in gold. Mr. Clow bought another but after two years they found that it was too burdensome to pay :20 per cent interest, so they sold it, making $100 on the transaction. Mr. CloW enlisted in the federal army.in 3865, where he remained until he was mustered out a year 1 later.

Having accumulated $600 from the sale of grain the preceding year, Mr. and Mrs. Clow repurchased the farm near Bolton with the $600 they had saved and with the money he had earned in the army, which is the place on. which they now reside. Bight, years ago today Mr.

and Mrs. Clow celebrated their golden wedding. It was a. joyful occasion, and there is much reason to believe that their fifty-eighth anniversary 1ms found them full of the burning enthusiasm of youth. Their many friends extend their heartiest congratulations and wish them many more years of good health and happiness.

Fair JO faith. in God's goodness and in, His willingness to help in their trials by gniiding steps -alight. With these assets credit Mr. and Mrs. Clow began the battle of life.

How valiantly they fought the royal battle and how generous have been the fates are problems solution only bears analysis when it is backed tip individual effort ami a concentration of energies. In eai'ly life the vicissitudes of fortune pa'id their respects to the struggling young couple. But they plodded on undaunted. They knew nothing of the luxury of and little dirt they care for displny, for life spent in a humble way possessed that solid sweetness which Nathaniel Cotton admirably describes in his poem written to his wife Fireside," in Avhich he rails at the follies and frivolities of the world, pointing but to her that their quiet seclusion and humble station was invested with that rare "fragrance which smells to heaven." So it may be that Mr. Clow knew that ibis way of HVI-IJ; was "wisdom's part," as Cotton calls it, and by following along tho restricted lines of this quaint philosophy their success in life is now garnered, not with wealth and the comfovw that it brings, but in the possession of an asset of far greater knowl- Helstand-Church Nuptials.

F. Warner, and other intimate acquaintances. As they look back and think of their first dinner together, fifty-eight yean; ago, the occasion today possesses that mellowed sweetness that is derived only from a rugged encounter with the stern realities of life.

"The Sign of the Bow and Arrow." Thus reads the title of a new, and what is atife to be a successful opera, composed by two Freeport young men. Jerome Oibler, well known as a musician, and who fs a member of Gibler's orchestra, and William Iiowrie, formerly of Bockford, but now manager of the Kimball piano store of this city, are the authors of the piece and their efforts and ambitions which have extended over the past two ynarsare now about to be successfully realized. All the musical numbers have been composed and arranged by Jerome Gibler. The scores for an orchestra of thirty have been arranged by Robert Gibler, arid the various pieces in the book of lyrics are the creations of William Lowrie. The "Sign of the Bow and Arrow 1 is a light musical opera in two acts and three scenes and the plot in both amusing arid novel, being the outcome of the ideas of the Messrs.

Gibler and -Lowrie. Jerome Gibler, assisted by his brother and Mr. Lowrie, have been instrumental in putting on- a number of light musical pieces in this city and in Kockford, but none of them have had the song hits and pleasing situations contained in the "Sign of the TDORF DIES i years LiifMtA wt llilftgsft of ttifi(6 of Botdorf, residing af died last evening after an tottftttfS bt diabetes followed by Although, ill for the past ten WU.H lady who was Very active and fulVof life nnd vigor, For the past wo, Wfeeks the members of her fanlily, dMher intimate friends' have been apprehensive that she could not withstand ravages of her disease, During the past week she lapsed Into a state at and peacefully passed away surrounded by her husband and who everything In their power to make her last days in Mill life happy and full of sunshine.

ne Canaries are making a decided h)t in the east. J. and Billig gone to Forreston to be the guests Of relatives and friends, ece has Gibler orchestra is now rehearsing the different scores for future presentation. The scene of the play is laid at a typical summer resort on the Atlantic seacoast and the central thought of the opera deals with a monster syndicate, which has been formed to get control of all the baby foods, patenbperambulatorsand baby beds, manufactured in the country. After having knocked the bottom the market and gained control of all its comp'etitors" business, the trust, in order to create a market for its merchandise, begins to build summer resorts all over the country In order to influence patrons of the resorts to mar A contract''hais been made with the whereby the syndicate agrees' to imarry a certain number of sergeant's to a like number of cooks each year, in order the soldiers: of, the army may have good food linen.

The name of the-', in the summer resqrt is Sign of the Bow and Arrow" and the genial proprietor is St. Valentine. A gentleman by the name of Millions comes to and brings his four daughters, who have been brought up by an aunt, who has always" been opposed to marriage. A contract is made with St. Valentine, whereby he agrees to marry the daughters and it is on this fact that the plot is built.

An unlocked for obstacle arises, when Aunt Felitia arrives upon the scene and the landlord sees at once that the aunt will have to be married before the girls are able to secure partners. Toward that end the aunt is invited to take a ride- on the lake, during which time a parson is called and the four daughters are united in marriage to the sergeants. The following ballad sung by St. Valentine in the opening act conveys the purpose of the story and its results: "Oh I am St. Valentine Disguised as landlord, portly.

Cupid's affairs are mine I am affable and courtly. All who with me tarry Are surely doomed to marry. And it's evident very That my hostelry As you will see Is linked along with Hymen It is my job to tie men Into connubial bliss. There are' twenty musical numbers in the entire piece, divided into duets, quartets and chorus songs. Perhaps the most novel is the in which the seven principals take part when they determine what to do with the aunt.

"Congratulate the Baby," sung by Millions and St. Valentine, is also a popular song, and will no doubt make a hit with its hearers, "Summertime" by Aunt Felitia and the Sadie Song sung by Jane and Billy are also pleasing and entertaining. The play makes provision for sixteen principal characters and for a chorus of forty or more members. On the first of May Messrs. Gibler and Lowrie will go to New York, where three of the greatest managers have consented to give the pjay a hearing.

Prior to this a number of Chicago playwrights will come to this city to criticise the scenes used In, the opera and to suggest any changes that should be made. It IB possible that the play may be put on in this city during spring or summer and toward that end Gibler's orchestra is now engaged in rehearsing the songs and scores.

Sugar aud starch, as found in ordinary food are intended to supply energy and strength, keep up steam to drive the human machine, and this they do if properly digested. But when the digestive apparatus has had too much work crowded upon it, or when it becomes weak- ened'from any cause, the food decays (there is no other word so expressive) in the stomach and intestines, and not only produces gas to distend the stomach and crowd and weaken the heart, but promotes other disease conditions which develop into seripus liver, stomach and sometimes heart trouble. It is important that the food present the sugar and starch to the stomach in such form that they may be readily digested and pass to the nerves and blood to energize the machine without overtaxing the organs.

Grape-Nuts food does this perfectly. It is- prepared by mechanical (not chemical) process, similar to these through which food passes in the healthy human digestive machinery, and is, when taken into the system, pro-digested, soluble and easily assimilated. It is inade of wheat and barley, and as it comes from the package, is adapted and grateful to even the weakest sromach of adult or babe. A lady" writes Wotinsocket, R. she says, "is truly a wonderful food.

I have been practically living: upon it for the last four months, and lam stronger physically and mentally, than I have been before in years. Tor some twelve or fifteen years I had lived on sweet 1 and starchy foods until my digestive organs were almost worn out, and I had been troubled for a long time with nervous dyspepsia or indigestion in its worst form. Everything I ate fermented and I belched gas from my stomach most of the time. "My doctor advised me to try Grape-Nuts, and so I began using it three times a day, and it has done wonders for me. It has strengthened; my muscles, toned up my nerves and rested my brain.

The headaches that used to punish me have disappeared. "I have gained strength to work and power to think, Grape-Nuts is worth more to me than all the medicine in the world.

Mrs. Ella Bushnell-Hamlln, of port, Is Given Credit for Taking Sterling Morton Also Helped. On tho editorial tmge of the Lumber Review, the leading journals for lumbermen in the country, appears a long editorial credit to Mrs. Ella G. Buahnell-Hamlin, of Davenport, for originating "Arbor Day." Though Mrs.

Hamlin has frequently made the remark to Tier, friends that, she was Hie of tree-plnnting Custom, slx'e. did not know th'e facts had become so and the editorial in the liumber Review came to her as a complete surprise. The late Senator S. Cochran, of was. the author of the providing for Arbor day in Illinois.

The editorial Is as follows: "The late Sterling J. Morton, one of the noblest men that ever came out of the west, has, always been given credit, asl.the originator of the movement that culminated in ment'of Arbor day. He'deserves much of the credit, it is true, but the real originator of 'Arbor Day' was an active, alert and progressive little 'school ma'am' in Towa. This same lady, G. Bushnell-Hamlin, is now the owner and talented editor of 'The an excellent magar zlne published tit Davenport.

First conceived the idea of tree planting while teaching a small country school in that'state. The bleak and barren school grounds were transformed by her efforts, and her example was followed by others until the movement became general, finally becoming national. To this lady then should the lumbermen of today give credit for first teaching the idea and the value of tree planting. In the years that have followed this knowledge has been a part of the regular curriculum of the schools, and from this idea which has for Its ob- lect the beautifying of school grounds lias come that of national forestation. Lumbermen everywhere recognize that the perpetuity of the lumber industry depends upon orestation.

No onger will recklessness be tolerated as it has been in the past. years and years men have deluded themselves by saying that there was enough timber in the United States to supply ourselves for all come and have "oodles" to sell to other countries. Those who to time gave warning the timber famine were scoffed at, and assertions and predictions were looted. "Why, you cannot use all the timber in a million yearsi" some eckless fellows would say, and nearly ill were of the opinion that the sup- ily was absolutely inexhaustible. But they have been brought up sharply and there is a condition stair- ng lumbermen in the face that calls active and united efforts to save the nation an Industry that is esr ential to the welfare of all.

This recklessness in the lumber world Is not an isolated case. Re- iection brings to mind that whqf' lave made agriculture their life fftftti The and- thfe glttf jiiftrkels tofr from thtfttaut had years tilted UteNle patcheii thefe aftd their first Itttfbdlictioii te tWe" UfittsWal rtcli-' h6ss soil lrt west made them reckless.

This forestatlon plan should receive the best thought 6f all people, regardless of their calling.

No one should decry the effort no matter what it may be, that is intended to directly or indirectly assist in this great work. In this, connection something in regard to "Arbor Day" Would be appropriate. In this busy, bust- llngmge, when all seem bent on purposes purely selfish, the movement to inculcate in the minds of our children a love for trees and the beautiful in nature, there are too many who are ready to cry "fad," "f6lly" or "nonsence." 1 i Efforts of teachers and others tire misconstrued, and not only are they denied the co-operation of parents and others, but their work is often decried publicly. "Arbor Day," with Its exercises should be- glven that hearty, enthusiastic support which the, study of its- purposes repeals Its merits. TO EXTEND SEWEP.
