Wedding at Springfield.

Samuel J. Morrison of this place and
Miss Mabel A. Dodge were married at
the brides home, the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Cox, at Springfield, Wednes-
day morning at II o'clock. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. George L.
Thompson. The wedding was a quiet
affair, only the relatives and a few near
friends of the bride and groom being
present. The dining room and parlor
were prettilv decorated with ferns and
sweet pea blossoms.
On one side of the parlor was bank of
green and white, in front of which were
draperies of lace and from the center a
floral bell was suspended, beneath which
the bridal party stood. The bride wore
a gown of light blue mousseline de sole
and carried white carnations. After the
ceremony a wedding breakfast was
served, and Mr. and Mrs. Morrison left
on the afternoon train for st. Johnsbury,
where they will reside at Caledonia
street. The bride received numerous and
valuable wedding gifts. Mrs. Morrison
is a well known former st. Johnsbury
girl and both have many friends in this
and surrounding towns who will extend
best wishes. William c. and Miss Eliza
Morrison, brother and sister of the
groom, attended the wedding.

A Good Word for Mr.. Bell.

A recent number of the Hardwick
Gazette contained the following pleasant
reference to c. ]. Bell, who is well known
in every town in this county
Caledonia Grange has long been
proud of their worthy State Master c. J.
Bell, and are glad to state the fact, that
he is still more worthy of praise since he
has taken the platform and wears the
white ribbon on the lapel of his coat
We understand he made striking ap
pearance one evening previous, while al
w. c. T. U. entertainment in our vii
lage. 1t is requested by his many friends
that in the near future, he may give {
series Of lectures, upon this all impor
tant subject. There is also a special re
quest from one of our good sisters, tina
his remarks touch the using of cigarettes
as well as the liquor traffic"

Old Home Week,

Col. c. S, Forbes of St. Albans, secre-
tary of the Old Home Week state COM
mittee, reports the movement for local
celebrations as growing and that about
SO cities and towns in the state will cele-
brate in some way or other. Three Cal
edonia county towns will have celebra-
ton, st. Johnsbury, Peacham and Water
ford. The movement has been heartily
espoused by Hon. John Barrett, a
Grafton boy, who was minister to Siam
and is well remembered here as one of
the speakers in the last presidential CAM
paign. He has written the Boston Globe
strong letter appealing to former YER
monters to come home that week, and
urging Vermont towns to arouse them
selves and make preparations for OBJ
serving the week.
Five hundred invitations to attend the
celebration at st. Johnsbury will be
mailed out this week and friends are
again urged to leave at the CALEDoNIAN
office any addresses OF former residents
that they would like invited to our cele-
bration. Since last week, acceptances to
give brief addresses at the banquet have
been received from Hon. Frank D. Hale
OF Lunenburg and l. P. Dana, Esq, of
Kansas City, former well-known resi-
dent. Other acceptances will be an
nounced as fast as they are received.
The success of St Johnsbury's celebra-
tion depends largely on the enthusiasm
of our townspeople and everyone ought
to be willing to do little.

that the metamorphosed carcasses and
feeces would really experience beati-
tudes of the most celestial character.
The butcher and the wool merchant
were candidates for high offices and the
sheep were populistic voters. The pro-
prietors of the ranch have failed in
business. The live sheep closely sheared
are scurrying over the country to find
new folds wherein they may be warmed
and cared for. Meantime the leading
flock master of the old firm has invented
a forage ration made out of words air and
assumption; and has begun it's manu-
facture at Lincoln with the hope of
finding unlimited market therefor
among the wandering lambs. The first
few bales of this new nutrient for sheep
was extruded from the press by wolf
power, Uncle-Jake- w Wolfe- power, and
some sheep see that shearing is again
near at hand, Notwithstanding the clip

Now that Sena-
tor Chandler of
New HAMPSHIRE is
CHANDLER.

New hampshire Is
about making a temporary exit from that
honorable body and public life in general
many of the peculiarities which dis
tinguish him are brought to mind. His
ability as thinker, talker and writer is
unquestioned. Equally unchallenged is
his capacity for caustic criticism. His
power of vehement, irritating, lacerating
and exasperating denunciation of meEJ
and measures was so frequently brought
into use and exercised upon so many
individuals that the gentleman from
New Hampshire was Stunned or repelled
by number of his fellow senators. A
few of these anti Chandler statesmen
were one day drubbing him and his
manners and methods, in a cloak room
of the United States senate, and just as
most vituperative reprobation of
Chandler was being concluded with the
statement:
Nobody likes him 70 Senator Proctor
of Vermont joined the party, and at
once, somebody said:
"Well there's Proctor who sits right
next to Chandler and will ask him:
GO Proctor, DO you like Chandler?'" :"
And in a moment the deep bass voice of
the like Uncle-Sam Senator from Yer
mont responded:

acquired TASTE"

The legislature
of Nebraska, now
in session, can at
REPEAL.

tract or it can repel capital from this
state. The immediate repeal of the So
called anti-trust-law, under the unconsti-
tutional provisions of which, Smyth,
Bryan and Company assaulted the
starch industry and other enterprises
during the last campaign, ought to be
demanded. 1t has never bene flied any
body except the lawyers. 1t has harmed
everybody. 1t has been invoked only
by politicians and place hunters. And
they have invoked it as a means of
appealing to the envy and malice of the
vagabond voters of the country, the
tramps and hoboes who regard all
property as robbery. No decent prop
erty-owning citizens of Nebraska ever
petitioned Smyth, Oldham and COM
moner demagogues with whom they
fused, to bring an action to drive the
Standard Oil Company, the Cracker
Company, Argo, United or National
Starch Company out of this common
wealth. No sensible citizen ever desired
the vote-hunting aggregation, then hold
ing Office, to exile from Nebraska all
these great corporations. No man
wished all the hundreds of employees of
those corporations thrown out of wages
by the action of Smyth, Oldham & Co.
And yet if the so-called antitrust law
with all of it's unconstitutional pro-
visions can be enforced in Nebraska
there will be not single manufacturing
plant of any Importance left within the
borders of this state. And this law
never did citizen-except an attorney
One cents worth of good. 1t ought to
be repealed
Is there in the legislature enough
moral courage, combined with a clear
insight of the best, most essential and
vital interests of the state to repeal the
law in question and all the other laws
which repel manufacture and COM
merce?

A recent deliver
ance of the popu-
list presidential
HOW? WHY?

list presidential
candidate at Lincoln reads thus:
ut will be great victory for popular
government when the selection of United
States senators is taken away from
legislatures and given into the custody
belongs"
How does it rightfully belong where
the constitution-as signed by George
Washington, president of the conven-
tion, on September 18th, 17S7,-bestows
it not? How did the presidential candi-
date-whose reputation is like that of a
quick-rising yeast powder or the little
early riser pills-ascertain so definitely
that the men who made the constitution
were mistaken, and that Hamilton,
Madison, Franklin, the Pinckneys,
Rufus King and Roger Sherman should
be sized up at the ratio of sixteento-
one against the Croker -Tillman- -Altgeld
standard of craftsmanship in these brisk
days of Bryanarchy?
And how can popular government win
a great victory over itself? Popular
government, or government, elects
state legislators. Popular government
delegates to those legislators the power
to elect United States senators. But if
the people do not know enough-as their
greatest and commonest commoner
intimates-to send decent, able, honest
men to the state legislatures, how shall
the same voters be better qualified to
choose United States senators? And
how, by what authority, shall the duty
Of selecting United States senators be
"taken away from legislatures?" And
when "given into the custody of the
voters" why may not the voters become
amenable to the same charges, direct
and Indirect that were made against
masses of American voters during, and
subsequent to, the campaigns of 1896
and 1900, as to their susceptibility to the
influences of bribery and intimidation
by corporate power? May not the same
surprised and disappointed candidate for
the presidency make charges, as to the
plutocratic power electing United States
senators, cogently and vehemently as
he made them in 1896 and 1900? How
can he trust mass Of voters who were
so dishonest as to elect Mckinley over
Bryan and the second time, too, by a
largely increased majority?

A butcher and
SHEEP SHEARING. wool m reliant
formed a co-part-
nership to run sheep ranch. They
were very kindhearted. They did not
wish to shear or slaughter any of the
simple sheep which they owned and
managed All the butcher and wool
grower asked was food and raiment
from the bleating fiocks. And this they
said, in orations delivered to the sheep,
they could easily secure SO delicately
