Larabee-BIair.

A very pretty October we'd
ding occurred Wednesday even
ing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
A Fl. Blair, when their oldest
daughter, Stella, was given in
marriage to Mr.. William Lorenzo
Larabee.
The parlors of the Blair home
were suggestive of autumn,
with the trailing vines, bright
hued leaves and huge chrysan-
themumS which were in evi-
dence throughout the rooms.
At 8 o'clock Miss Julia Blair,
the brides sister, seated herself
at the piano and while the strains
of Mendelssohn' s wedding march
pealed out, the bridal couple en-
tered unattended. They were
met in front of the south win
dows by Rev. Jay Carroll Everett
of the Presbyterian church, who
performed the marriage cere-
mony, using the impressive
ring service.
The bride was charming in
her wedding gown of white voile
over taffeta silk, it's simple lines
unbroken by any trimming save
a yoke of hand wrought Irish
crochet, and it's lovliness en-
CHANGED by the filmy wedding
veil which she wore. She carried
a boquet of white carnations.
Immediately after the con
gratulationS were offered a de-
hcious three course supper was
served in the dining room, the
decorations here being red and
white carnations.
Mr.. and Mrs. Larabee took
the east bound train at ~11:2S for
a wedding journey, after which
they will return to Wa-Keeney to
make their home. The brides
going was a becom-
ing tailored suit in the new
smoke color with hat to match.
The guests were limited to
relatives and few very intimate
friends of the families.
A number of beautiful gifts in |
silver, cut glass and china were
received.
A crowd of young people met
the bridal party at the station to
offer their good wishes and to
speed them on their wedding
Journey with the usual shower
Of rice, old shoes and other good
-uck omens. Mr.. and Mrs. Lar

Dispatches say that two sepa-

wide travelling north passed
through Sharon Springs last
Monday completely demolishing
three residences and injured a
dozen people, one will probably

killed. At Bosnia the barn and

residence. HeI has successfully
practiced law in the courts OF
western Kansas for more than
twenty years and there can be
no doubt of his ability to handle
, the affairs of the office in a man
ner entirely satisfactory to all,
for he perfectly understands it's
duties, having hOnorably filled
the place several terms. There
will be no mistake made in elect
ing Mr.. Nelson to the place.
COUNTY TREASURER.
Gregg Marshall, our present
county treasurer, is a candidate
for reelection. He has served
well and faithfully in this capac-
ity for the past two years, and
because of his peculirr fitness
for this particular line of work
and because he is true blue Re-
publican and believes in and adj
vocateS those principles to which
we are all indebted, he deserves
the second term which he aspires
to. Mr.. Marshall is well known
and liked in Trego county and
there is no doubt that in the No
vember election he will receive a
vote that he may be proud of.
REGISTER OF DEEDS.
There is probably no office in
the county needs more careful
painstaking person to discharge
it's duties than that of register of
deeds and in selecting A. p. Hin
shaw for this place we have just
such a man. Mr.. H. is number
ed among the earlier settlers of
the county and during his long
stay has made for himself an en-
viable reputation. Mr.. III. ScornS
to stoop to the base or low things
of life and his character and
standing is such that can be
safely put into any Office of trust.
He is well qualified for this line
of work and the people cannot
possibly make a mistake by plac
ing him in this officeand if
elected there need be no
fear that the office will not be
run in a thoroughly competent
and capable manner.
PROBATE JUDGE
In selecting A. S. Peacock for
the Office of probate Judge it
seems that more competent
person for the place would be
hard to find. Mr.. Peacock
is thoroughly acquainted with
the duties of the office and we
are safe in saying that Trego
county has never had a more
painstaking, careful and perfect
ly systematic official than Mr..
Peacock. He is one of Trego
county'S early settlers and has
always been a strong advocate of
the right and whenever confront
ed with any perplexing problems
that involve question of princi-
pie Mr.. p. has ever been found
honorable and upright. At an
earlier period Mr.. Peacock was
superintendent of public instruc-
ton and through his endeavors
he has had the pleasure of seeing
boys and girls of that time grow
up to be useful men and women.
He has always been interested in
thethings pertaining to education
and the betterment of all the
things that help to make life
woI tn living. He certainly de-
serves to be returned to this of
fee and his election without
doubt is sure to take place.

Irego County's Ticket
A Brief History of the Men Who Re-
CeivSd the Republican NOmina-
lions for the Various
Offices.
REPRESENTATIVE.

G. M. Bell, of Franklin town
ship, is our candidate for repre-
sentative, and could we find a
man more eminently fitted for
the place? He came to Trego in
the early sos and settled on a
farm in the south part of the
county and engaged in farming
and stock raising. During his
long residence here he has won
an enviable reputation for hon
esty and integrity by dealing
square with his fellow man. Not
one word derogatory to him or
his character can honestly and
truthfully be said. Is not this
the kind of a man whom we
would feel proud of as our rep
resentative? A vote for him will
be vote for the continuance of
the Roosevelt policies and the
entire administration.
COUNTY CLERK.
Otto Young came to Trego
county twenty eight years ago
and settled on a farm in Frank
lin township and engaged in ag
ricultural pursuits and stock
raising. 1t is vastly important
that a competant man be entruSt-
ed with the duties of this Office
and should he be elected the peo-
pie will find they have not mis-
placed their confidence and as he
is endowed with the qualifica-
tionS which are so necessary for
a man to possess we feel if elect
ed Mr.. Young will make good"
and that the Office will be prop
erly managed under his careful
administration
SHERIFF.
In the matter of sheriff the
republicans have chosen wisely
in the selection of Theodore
Courtney. When the dark war
cloud hung over our nation from
1861 to 1865 and when the call
for troops was made Mr.. Court
ney without hesitation went to
face death and privation for his
country'S cause and served we'll
and faithfully as soldier till the
close of the war. Mr. Courtney
does not make his war record
part of his political campaign,
but these are facts that are
worthy of recognition. He under
stands the duties of the office
well, having served very efficient
~ for two terms. Mr.. Court
ney's policies and principles are
too well known to dwell at length
upon and if elected, as he is sure
to be, he will prove himself
worthy of the confidence of the
people.
COUNTY ATTORNEY.
The Office of county attorney
is one of the most important in
the county. Many questions of
serious Importance oft times
arise and man understanding
the law and having qualifications
necessary to successfully con-
duct the affairs of the office is
absolutely imperative and in
John A. Nelson we have such a
man. Mr.. Nelson is an honest
upright citizen of many years

PUSHED HER POWER TOO FAR.
Young Lady's Silly lnslstence Cost
 Her Wealthy Husband.

Wilbraham Bootle, a young English man, handsome, clever, of high social position and immensely rich fell in love with Miss Taylor, who could bring her husband nothing but her pretty face. Wilbraham Bootle, how ever, aspired to obtain her hand, and easily obtained her consent. The marriage day had been fixed. At a great dinner at Lord Camelford's the conversation turned upon an ascent that had been made in the morning to the cross upon the dome of St. Peters. To reach the cross 1t was necessary to pass outside the hall. Wilbraham Bootle said that he did not possess a steady head, would never be able to reach the cross. and that nothing in the world would induce him to try.
 Nothing in the world?" said Miss Taylor
 Nothing. l assure you
 What not even if I were to ask your"
 You would not ask me to do thing for which I frankly admit my dislike. ," Excuse me, I do ask you. I beg of you, and if necessary, | insist"
 Wilbraham Bootie attempted to laugh the matter off, but Miss Taylor insisted. notwithstanding the inter ference of Lord Camelford.
 The whole company met two days
  following at St. Peters to watch the performance of the task imposed upon the young man. He performed his trial with great coolness, and when he came down the triumphant beauty came toward him with outstretched hand; he took her hand, kissed it and said; Miss Taylor, have obeyed the whin of charming girl. Permit me now in return to give you a piece of advice: If you wish to keep your power never misuse it. I wish you all prosperity, and now good-by."
