ton was acquired like that OF many young
men of those times, by attending, winter

]. II. G. WEAVER

Was born in Branch county, Michigan, on
the 9th day of September, 1916. In June
1872 he graduated from the Hillsdale
College, Michigan, and in 1874 gradu-
ated from the law department of the Mich
igan University. For some time followed
the profession of teaching, but for several
years past has devoted himself to the prac-
tice of the legal profession. He is now q
member of the law firm of Weaver & Me-
lendy, at Eureka. Humboldt county. Mr.
Weaver was one of the few Republicans in
the last session of the Legislature, and his
cutting remarks, shrewd tactics and
untiring zeal in the cause of right
put the Democratic majority often
in some very embarrassing posi-
tons. If Weaver advocated one of
their bills it was Immediately referred to
the Judiciary Committee to ascertain
whether or not there was joker in it. The
Humboldt Republican has discovered
something" they would remark. The Re-
publicans of the Second Assembly District
could not have been better represented.
They evidently thought SO, for at the last
election they elected him to succeed him
self, by majority of $50 and plurality of
400. He is a married man, and, as he was
once heard to assert on the floor of the As
sembly, he is a Republican by birth, in
stinct, teaching, reason and common sense"

WAYS OF WEDDING.
The Seven Different Methods Open to
Young Couples,
From the Wileoaubee Journal.

From the Wile0aubee journal.
There are seven separate and distinct
ways in which the nuptial knot may be
tied, the attending expense of the differ
ent modes varying from 81 to $1,000. The
least expensive and the one seldom
adopted, except in cases of elopement, is
that afforded by the Justices office. There
a couple can be firmly united in the space
of a minute for the small sum ISL. This
is the fee allowed by law, and the young
man financially embarrassed need stand
in no fear of an advance in the rate. 1t
is customary for groom TO dress as he
may please when the marriage is to be
performed by a Justice, and dress-suit
would be sadly out of place in the musty
law office. The one great advantage of
the Justice-shOp marriage is its cheap
ness. AS some people object to being
married by a Justice of the Peace, pre-
ferring the sanction of the church in addi-
ton to that of the law, the young people
may visit a parsonage instead of a JUS
tees Office with the same preparation.
The ceremony may be fully as informal
when performed at the minister's home,
the only difference being that not less than
SO, and, better still, IS or $40 should be
paid for the service, although there is no
liked sum charged.
The most popular ceremony among peO-
pie who do not class themselves az in
"sOciety," and also among many who do,
is quiet home wedding, where the bride
is attired in suit OF plain white or a
travelling dress, and the groom in plain
black or brown business suit, and where
only few friends and relatives are pres
ent. The affair is informal, perhaps a
modest supper or lunch being served after
the ceremony is performed, and the entire
expense to the groom being covered by
$50 bill or even less, if he is economical.
This is the most popular wedding eere-
mony, and this is the way in which fully
70 per cent. of young people are married.
Next in point of favor and inexpensive
ness is the informal church wedding, be-
ing similar in all things except that the
service is performed within the portals of
the church. II the affair is strictly pri-
vate, the bridge and groom may be unsup-
ported or have bridesmaids and groOms-
men, as they please. In the latter case
full-dress suits should be worn, increas-
ing the expense.
The "full-dress wedding" as it may be
called when the ceremony is performed at
home, is next in favor. Elaborate trous-
seau. full-dress suits, bridesmaids and
grcOmsmen, flowers in abundance and a
host of invited guests are the requisites,
followed by reception, feast or a lunch,
as the contracting parties may desire.
The seventh and last, and least popular,
owing TO its publicity, is the full-dress
affair performed I'm church. Among peo-
pie who desire 10 create a stir IN society
This IS the fayorite. II is expensive and
in many cases unsatisfactory.

of the Leg.

Money is the universal necessity, and none
but cynic or a fool VIII affect to despise it.
Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulst r
county, N. Y, had realized this truth. His
disease involved the whole Of his thigh bone,
and the suffering man looked forward not
without apparent reason, to death as his only
dciiverer. The family physicians refused to
amputate the limb, asserting that the opera
ton would kill the patient on the spot. DR..
Dd0id KENNEDY, of Rondout, n. Y, who
was consulted, held different opinion and
amputated the limb The Doctor then adj
ministered freely his great Blood Specific
FANORITE REMEDY to afford tone and
strength to the system and prevent the return
Of the disease, and Mr.. Ellsworth remains to
this day in the bloom OF health. This gentle
mans disease was the offspring of foul blood,
and Kennedy's FAVORITE REMEDY puri-
ded the blood and restored to him the power
once more to enjoy his life. Are you suffering
