Tamnrack News.

Wedding bells have been ringing rather
frequently at Tamarack OF late and unless
Dame Rumor is very much mistaken, anl
in such affairs that is not the cas-,
as rule, the bells are likely TO ring
out several times again in the near future
Last Saturday evening Miss Grace p
Mitchell was united in the bonds OF matri
moDy at the home OF her parents to Mr.
Henry y. Vivian, one OF the most popu
lar young men of this burg. The cere
mony was performed by the Rev. Walker,
pastor of the Tamarack NJ. L. church, in
the presence OF large number Of friends
of the contracting parties. After the
ceremony those present sat down to a
sumptuous wedding supper and the re-
manner of the evening was spent in
pleasant social enjoyment. The happy
couple have taken up their residence in
Yellow Jacket and have the best wishes
ot large circle of friends for much 10Y IN
wed ded bliss.
Mr.. Christopher Hendra, another Tam.
arackite, has gone and done it and has
been married to Mrs, Thomas of Red
Jacket. They have also taken up their
residence in Yellow Jacket. This is the
second venture OF both on the sea of mat
rimony and they have many friends who
wish them well.
Tamarack youngsters are about as
tough az any others, at least some of
them are, and the trouble they have
given the carpenters who have been at
work on the many new houses which the
mining company have put up this sum
mer, finally got them in the meshes of
the law. For some time past the car
penters have noticed the unaccountable
disappearance of pieces OF lumber about
the houses where they have been working
and finally discovered that some OF the
small boys had been systematically
stealing it, Deputy Sheriff Wills was
notified to look into the case and he
found that a number Of the boys had
camp back in the swamp where they took
~ut iuulbtI duu uHbu ~ W tuldTRe IDelT
habitation, The boys had gay times at
their camp and when they were run onto
by the officers were getting away with
a small key OF beer. He arrested them
all, but they stoutly denied knowing
anything about the disappearance of the
lumber. However, one OF the boys gave
the whole thing away and ACKNOWLEDGED
the theft. The matter has been settled
by the parents Of the boys.
1t is said that cock fights are getting
to be regular things in certain parts of
Tamarack of late and that one is held
nearly every week. 1t is said that a
couple OF fancy birds are kept on hand
aud that few more are expected here
shortly.

Journalism will continue to ret.
rograde in estimation of honest
people, until their editors and pro-
prietors cease allowing their peri
odicals to become the servile tools
of politicians, political cliques and
corporations; the discharge of
which duty frequently compels
the abandonmento of modesty, con-

This is humiliatingly true of

THE EDITORS TALK.

Abolish The Stock Exchanges
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Albany Telegram, believes that
stock exchanges are one of the
greatest evils of the age. See
what it says:
'"The stock exchanges, with
their propensities for gambling
with regulations, food products
and corporate securities, should
be swept by the moral wave which
is dominant in the United States
at present. Before it have been
crushed out lotteries, prize and
bull fights, gam bling bells and
corrupt and dishonest officials
There still remains the greater
evil, the stock exchanges, driving
men to greed, insanity and suicide,
gambling on the whole vast prod
ucts of agriculture and running the
farms, and lastly, wrecking rail-
ways, mines and industries. 1t is
impossible to point out any good
ever accomplished by these ex-
changes and their bowling der
wishes. They hold no meetings
advocating good measures, as do
the chambers of commerce and
mercantile associations. They
possess no influence on any COM
munity for morality, honesty and
uprightness. They set no exam
pie of patriotism and manhood.
Their influence on our youth is
baneful and dangerous. They
have had their day, blasting flu
lures and blighting hopes. Abol-
ish them. Their level was never
higher than the crookedest race
track in the country.-St. Bernard
Voice.
Mark Twain, the greatest of |
American humorists, is said to be
dying in London, England. Bro

ions smile by his droll humor

pass over the "dark river" As
one who has been entertained by
he efforts of Mr.. Clements, we ex-
pres our sadness, that his end is so

It's not the saddest thing with
