A competent book-keeper thinks a
salary of $500 in almost any good
sized town in Vermont, only fair pay.
Yet we shrink at paying our governor
more than this, but do not hesitate to

nominate a State ticket, awoke this
morning to find the Higgins wagon
crowded from hub to the driving box.
Governor Odell said this morning that

slipping OF cogs and the creaking and
rattle of wheels it looked for a time
as if there would be no end of trouble.
Senator Platt fatty refused to at
tend a conference with Odell looking
TO the selection OF any candidates
other than Timothy L. Woodruff, OF
Brooklyn. Senator Platt's stand
caused Governor Odell TO come out
and declare himself for Higgins.
The staunch Woodruff following are
for carrying the fight on the floor, but
it was said this morning that it would
hardly be done.

although the baron was willing 70 talk to
reporters on other subjects. The bride
had just recently obtained a divorce in
WATERFOWL, although ner residence was
made at Sioux Falls, Miss Hulse came
here Monday and made the necessary ar
.rangements to be married Monday night
but the baron did not get here until yes
terday noon. This delay caused a violent
quarrel between the two, which started
in the Pierce hotel dining room where the
two met on the nobleman's arrival. All
afternoon the dispute was carried on, the
couple being entirely obliNiouS OF the at
tent1on they We're attracting as they paced
the streets here. 1t was finally settled
jim some way and the wedding was very
privately conSummated at last. Who the
countess, as she now is, really was, is
unknown here, the Watertown judge be-
ing probably the only man who could
Ianswer the question. The baron, CLEANED
lin an interview, has seen service in the
German army. and was with General
