Frank Oechslin is married! It came 

 as a great surprise to everyone, as it 

 was a quiet affair and no one knew of 

 it in advance. His bride was Mrs. 

 Bosa Maier, who has been his house- 

 keeper for about a year. The ceremony 

 was performed Thursday evening, Jan- 

 uary 19.

 institute will open at the University of 

 Illinois, closing February 8 and 9 with

Peter Sroczynski, whose establish-

 greenhouses. He expects to build a 

 much larger range just outside the city 

 limits, with the intention of growing 

 for the wholesale trade only. Mr. 

 Sroczynski has made a remarkable 

 success of his present venture and pro- 

 poses to sell the greenhouses and stock 

 and lease the ground, store and flat 

 building adjoining, with the privilege 

 of buying them also at the expiration 

 of the lease. He does not expect to 

 make the change before June 1.
