The nomination of Mr. Cook will I've bid for
the support of the liquor interest. Mr.. Cook Is
president of the Bartholomew Brewing Compa-
ny of Rochester. The Raines Liquor Tax law

Gratis bankrupt and no State patronage, the
Democratic State machine is out of funds. In
this crisis an appeal will be made to the brewing
interests through Senator Edward Murphy, jr.,
who owns a big brewery himself, and big
effort will be made to elect the Democratic State
ticket.

When once the young heart OF IA maiden is

1t is seldom that union of two of its
members gives a community more gen
unine pleasure and plide than that which
came about Wednesday evening, the 2ist,

congratulations than those which fol-

man, Miss Myrtle and Mr. Herbert Whit
ford. The bride wore beautiful cream
white silk, while the bridesmaid wore a
cream. As they neared the farther cor
ner of the room the bridesmaid and
groomsman parted, allowing the happy
pair to pass on beneath beautiful arch
made of cedar and of pine. Rev. Mr..
kinzie in few solemn words made them
husband and wife. Guy G.. Lamson
then offered a brief prayer for Gods
blessing. In the eyes of the world the
value of each was reduced one-half, for
two were made one; but In their own
eyes the value of each was increased a
thousand-fold.
Then followed congratulations such
as Addison has showered but seldom.
Immediately after refreshments were
served to the guests, who literally filled
the house.
While the guests were partaking OF
the refreshments Mr.. and Mrs. Seeger
retired to don their travelling suits, and
then about s 80 they took their carriage
and were driven to Middlebury, where
they took the II :02 train for Rutland.
They expect to pass about two weeks in

wishes of all. Mr.. and Mrs. Seeger ex-

We begin this week the publication,
from advance sheets, of new and COM
prehensive work on the Horse by the
author of "The Morgan Horse which is
recognized as one of the most compre-
hensive, accurate and valuable works of
the kind ever published. The scope of
this new work, as its name implies, com
prehends all breeds of horses. The
same thorough methods that were used
in compiling the Morgan Horse, leading
to the discovery of the history and pedi-
gree of such noted horses as American
Star, Pilot and others, has been carried
into this work. resulting in vast
amount of new and most important IN
formation on the history and pedigrees
of noted American horses. Concerning
other horses than American the highest
authorities in the world are quoted,
and the matter is arranged in such a
way as to present most forcibly their
history. 1t is confidently believed that
this work will prove invaluable to horse
owners and breeders, and a necessary
addition to all well-selected libraries.
