TTindoo Weddings.

Hindoo weddings usually come in the
hot months, when the families have
leisure to prepare for them, but an as
trologer must select an suspicious day
for the event The groom is ready for
his preliminary game of diplomacy,
which is scarcely more than bluff"
This is a pretense to visit the sacred
Gauges at Benares and wash away his
sins in its healing waters. Generally
there would not be time Before the
wedding day to complete such p Jour
ney when the groom undertakes H. but
the readiness must be SHOWN, and the
company sets out When the brides
father meets them and dissuades the
groom from sucn an undertaking, he is
very ready to stop. He is assured,
moreover, that his sins have not been
so grievous as to need cleansing before
his nuptials. If the brides father is
satisfied with his spiritual condition,
the young man may need say no more,
but he returns and prepares the thali,
or gold badge, that all married women
must wear suspended from their necks.

Ten Year. Ago ead xo.s.

There is no better antidots for de-
spondency than to take measure Of
your own community as 1t was ten
years ago and as it is today, unless
you live in an unrepresentative and
stagnant community You will be
likely to find the roads or the streets
better than they were. the railroad
service. the postal service, possibly
even the telegraph and the telephone
service better. You viii observe better
houses, more attractive grounds. The
people are better clad or more are well
clad. Inside their houses you will find
more books or, better. more bathrooms.
better lights and better furniture. A
larger proportion of children and youth
are receiving good training at better
schools. All this means more than
prosperous years 1t means a higher
level of life and a stronger ambition.
The well being OF the people Of the
United States is rising higher and es-
pecially is ii diffusing itself wider.
Life is constantly becoming more COM
Portable and more cheerful as wen as
longer and safer. leading TO better con-
ditions for intellectual growth and So
cial development-World's Work.

When Neal Brown of Wausau an
nounced his candidacy for the democra-
tic nomination for governor, the Ros /,
stock dropped about twenty-five per-
cent and it is probably the other aspir
ants will withdraw entirely.-Unity Re-
gister.
The opposition to David S. Rose as
the democratic nominee for governor
is more outspoken as the time for the
state convention draws nearer. The
voters in the agricultural districts do
not desire his nomination and their
wishes should be needed. With man
nominated who will satisfy the farmers
there is an even chance to win.-Chil-
ton Times.
Stevens Point Journal, Stalwart Rep:
Neal Brown, of Wausau, has an
nounced his candidacy for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor. Mr..
Brown is a Badger by birth, having
been born IN Jefferson county in 1886.
He is an alb e man and upright citizen,
but il is feared that his footsteps have
been too laggsrd in reaching the start
ing wire in the gubernatorial race.
Appleton Crescent, Dem. - Neal
Browns announcement will be very
gratifying 10 his many admirers all
over the state, and for that matter,
everybody is his friend. He would
draw votes possibly better than almost
any other man mentioned in connection
with the head Of the ticket: his location
in the Marathon part of the state is
desirable also. Should he receive the
nomination The Crescent will give him
hearty and unstinted support.
The candidacy of Neal Brown for
the democratic nomination for govern
or is being favorably received all over
the state. Mr.. Brown is man against
whom no objection can be raised. A
good clean, honest, fearless able man
with experience in public life. He
would make a governor acceptable to
every citizen of the state. 1t is, of
course, too early,'a as yet, to see what
chance Mr.. Brown has of securing the
nomination, but it is reasonably certain
that he will have the delegation from
the tenth district solidly for him.
Rhinelander Herald.
Merrill Advocate, Rep. 1T is an
uounced from Wausau that Hon. Neal
bFON0 VIII seek llt DOlill-
nation for governor. In our opinion
Mr.. Brown is the strongest candidate
the Democrats could name. He is a
man of great ability, of spotless charac-
ter, and consistent in his democracy.
That is, Mr.. Brown takes the many
isms of democracy like an old topper
takes his 'eye opener with good
many grimaces but he takes it just the
same and calls il good. In that Mr..
Brown is a thorough bourbon, yet be is
most broad-minded and liberal-minded
man. He would be peoples governor.
Stevens Point Gazette, Dem. = Hon,
Neal Brown, of Wausau, has announced
his candidacy for the democratic nom
ination for governor, and if the Wiscon-
sin river valley is 10 be honored with
the nomination this year, there is no
better man than Mr.. Brown; in fact no
cleaner or ADLER in the state. He would
prove a strong, careful and fearless
governor. credit to his party and the
great commonwealth. With three pos
sible candidates from Wausau. Mr..
Brown for governor, and Karl Mathie
and John +. Lamont for superintendent
ofpublic instruction, it would seem as
though one OF the plums might fall in
her basket.
