and Were Married in Lyndonville-
Grooms Left for Parts Unknown.

The peaceful village of West Burke is
stirred over the sudden marriage of two
Of it's well known ladies to Ned Woodley
and Lew Strong, both formerly of Harry
Meyers dramatic company of New York.
The young men had been there about
four weeks directing an entertainment
given by the band. Rehearsals were
held nightly, and Annie Colby and Annie
Silsby had leading parts.
These young ladies fell in love with the
city actors, and the affair eliminated

called for Miss Silsby and the two went
off together, leaving word for Mrs. Silsby
that they had gone to make a call. They
then hid in the bushes until they were

along i'm a double team, and the clipping
pairs drove to Lyndonville, about eight
miles. Meanwhile, Mrs. Silsby had gone
to her daughters room, where she found
a letter saying that Annie had gone away
to get married.
Mr.. Silsby and Mr.. Colby started after
them toward Lyndonville, telepnoning a
deputy sheriff in Lyndonville to stop the
marriage. But IL minutes before the dep
uty sheriff arrived at the parsonage the
knot was tied by Rev. j. c. Bodwell, the
congregational pastor at Lyndonville.
The young men had obtained marriage
licenses the night before of the town
clerk of Burke, from which it appears
that Woodey was % years old and Strong
q. Both girls were about 10 years old,
Miss Colby being recent academy grad
uate and Miss Silsby a school teacher.
The married couples returned to West
Burke, where they were met by enraged
parents and a crowd of indignant towns
people Mr.. Silsby knocked Mr.. Strong
down and took his daughter, now Mrs.
Strong. home with him. Mrs. Woodley
was at first unwilling to leave her hus-
band, but later decided to return to her
old home. Later a large crowd gathered
around the place where the young men
were staying and threatened to lynch
them if they did not leave town.
'fhe actors decided to leave, and came
as far as Lyndonville, but returned the
next day to West Burke to await de-
velopments, though they are not living
with their newlymade brides.
Later both men left West Burke for
parts unknown to avoid public indigna-
ton.

IMPORTANCE OF SPEED,
A GREAT FACTOR IN EVERY DAY
LIFE,

In these days of rapid progress, one of
the most important factors in business
and science; in transportation in sports
and in fact almost everything is speed
Speed is also an important factor in
the curative powers of medicine. and it
has been proven by an avalanche of ties.
timonials, that the greatest remedy for
speed and rapidity in relieving and cur
ing diseases of the kidneys and bladder,
blood, liver, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
chronic constipation, is DIR DAVID
KENNEDY'S FANORITE REMEDY.
The speed of this wonderful discovery
for diseases of the kidneys and bladder,
is not so rapid as to injure and interfere
with the other healthy organs of the
boSy, but rather of a gradual uniform
speed. consistent with the best results.
If your back pains you; if your urine,
after you have deposited some in glass,
and let it stand for "a hours, has a
smoky, milky appearance; If you have
q frequent desire to urinate during the
night and scalding pains accompany it's
passage, your kidneys and bladder re-
qulre instant treatment, by taking DIR,
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy.
The startling results of this renowned
remedy, in relieving and curing diseases
of the kidneys and bladder have amazed
the whole medical world
