Sheppard PAYNE Nuptials.

At Veblen, Marshall county, the home
OF the brides parents, on Tuesday, the
18th of this month, Hon. Jason e..
Payne, of Vermllion, was united in
marriage to Miss IWae Sheppard, Rev.
Butts, of Britton, performing the cere
mony. Only the family of the bride
and the brother of the groom were pres
ent to witness the happy event. The
newly married have gone on an extended
honeymoon trip, which will last for a
month, and take them to the Portland
exposition and number OF other pleas
ure resorts on the Pacific coast. This
wedding will be of unusual interest to
everybody in Pierre, from the fact that
the bride formerly lived here with Ter
parents, her father having been deputy
insurance commissioner for time, be-
sides which she has taught in the public
schools OF the city for the past three
years. The groom has represented Clay
county in the state senate the past two
terms, and first met and courted his
wife in Pierre. After her parents left
the city the bride became a member OF
the Free Press family during the time
she taught here, and we want to state
that Senator Payne has drawn; a first
prize in gaining her for wife and help
mate through life. She is young lady
of the best graces, of mind and beauty,
and one of whom any man should
always feel proud. The groom is a
gentleman of the best attainments and
character in his home community, and
a leading attorney of the university
town, where he has grown to manhood
with the respect of all who have ever
known him. The Free Press can but
wish Mr.. and Mrs. Payne long life
filled with plenty of happiness and sue

cial announcement that Congress
man Martin has decided to become
a candidate for United States SEN
ator, for the place now occupied
by Senator r. j. Gamble, of
Yankton. The latter also seeks
to be returned to the senate. This
news will make an interesting
topic for editorial discussion in
the state press. Congressman Mar
tin is a strong and popular man in
the state, and will do as much
towards getting what he goes after
as any man the Free Press knows
Of. His ambition in this direction,
of course, will have to be met
with pretty strong competition,

GRAND AND GREAT.

The people Of the country have
unbounded faith in the integrity Of
President Roosevelt. He has lived
in this world well along towards a
half century All his life he has
stood for the things that he has
publicly advocated. All his life
he has sought to carry into effect
those policies which he has set
forth as being the lines which the
country should follow. He has
never publicly advocated one thing
and then privately consented to
the ignoring of the rules that he
has laid down. The president
may ut times be wrong. Hisjudg-
ment is not infallible, because he
is but human. But in all this vas,
country there is scarcely a man
who will say that he has no faith
in the presidents integrity. Mr..
Roosevelt is everywhere regarded
as IN honest man. 1t is this ster-
ling quality Of mind and heart
that has endeared him to the peo-
pie Watertown Public Opinion.
The above is II pretty far sum
mary of the man, who, next to
Abraham Lincoln, stands closer
to the people than any other presi-
dent tins country has ever had.
While some of his admirers and
we'll wishers may honestly differ
with him on u few public issues,
such as rate Legislation and civil
service ideas, the fact stands out
that President Roosevelt has the
confidence, respect, and admira-
ton of every American, of high
or low degree. He is n grand
man and II great president.
