Dizziness of the Marriage Mart.

Many reasons have been put forward
to account for the decreasing inclina-
ton which the girl of to-day shows
toward marriage, but it still appears
necessary to warn advisers of those
about, or about not, to marry, that they
are making the path of domestic life
almost too easy. CoupselorS seem to
take a particular pride in overcoming
the problems that must ultimately con-
front the bride, and in fighting her bat
ties for her long before they come
In short, married life is mapped out
for her with the precision which would
normally represent the experience of
more than one lifetime. Is it to be
wondered that the domestic side of
Ihatrimony ceases to possess the fasci-
nation of the unknown, or to offer the
possibilities of triumphant conquest sin
gle-handed?

Presidents hav

are row living. The Presidents have
usually died before their wives, as the
work of the chief executive of the ma
ton generally uses most of the vital
ity of the man engaged in it. Mrs.
Garfield spends much of her time in
Washington, where her sen lives, and
divides the rest between her old home
in Ohio and Pasadena, Cal. She is a
gentle, sweet woman, always ready to
speak of her husband Mrs. Garfield
receives a pension of $1,000 a year.
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison married Presi-
dent Harrison after he left the White
house, and she does not receive a pen
sion. Mrs. Mckinley also received the
$4,000 pension up to the time Of her
death.

New Idea for Packing.

A business woman who makes fire.
quent trips abroad has evolved an ex-
cellent idea for keeping her gown in
good condition. Her plan entails con-
siderable work at first, as she makes
pasteboard packing boards and covers
them with cheap percale. When these
cases are slipped over the board the
ends are sewed up and tapes to fasten
in the gown securely are sewed to the
cover at equal distances on each side

and on the ends, that tie in the center.
The garment is thus held secure. In
laying in the skirt all the plaits, tucks
other fullness are smoothed in
place as it would naturally hang. Each
gown or skirt and shirtwaist has its
pasteboard. hat has been cut just small
enough to fiji inside the trunk. With
this arrangem ut dress may be taken
from the trunk without disarranging
any of the others.

didate for the Office of County
Treasurer of Grant county. He
is a thorough and upright busl
ness man, an excellent penman
and expert accoun can't. During
his term of Office as County Com

tiers came before the Board and
he gave his undivided attention
to the welfare of the people, not
claiming all the credit for himself
but conceding honor to whom
honor is due. Mr.. Nelson is rec.
ognized by stalwarts and iusur-
gents to be a man of firm princi
pie, sterling integrity and you
always know where to find him.
Notwithstanding that Mr.. Mel
son has always taken a stand and
been consistent in his views
along political lines, he is very
popular at home among all fac
tons and parties. The conscien-
tious voters of our county will
make no mistake in placing a
cross before his name upon the
Republican ballot, for he will
faithfully, accurately and impair.

very good idea. He was in favor
of the day. Something of the
kind must be done. He would
join heartily in the movement.
G.. G. Middlebrook remarked
that he was never too old to join
in getting just a little more fun
in this world, and he was strictly
in favor of the day. He had at

and that what applied to the other
towns would apply to Milbank.
All were SO enthusiastic in the

To THE VOTERS OF GRANT COUNTY.
At the republican primary election
on June 9 the voters of the party will
have an opportunity of making .
choice from three candidates for tho
office OF county superintendent Of
schools, myself among the number. Il
will be admitted that the office is one
of special Importance, involving
rs 1t does the educational interests
OF the young people, and should bo
filled by one of age and experience.
and ii possible by one who has had
experience and who has come closely
in touch with the country schools. nv
two opponents for the nomination are
both comparatively young men, and
while | have nothing but pleasant
words for them as estimable citizens.
| respectfully submit to the voters thu
claim which I put forth, that as IN
older man, and one who has had con.
siderably more experience, both az Z
teacher in the district schools and IN
graded and high school work, and
also having previously served q
county superintendent, l am in posi-.
ton and better qualified to give the
office and the patrons of the schools
far better service than my opposing
candidates., no matter how worthv
they may otherwise be.
have had about twenty years ex.
p%erience in teaching IN Wisconsin.
Minnesota and the Dakotas. This
experience includes country, graded
and high school work. Ihave aIso
had the best opportunities for observ-
ing the workings of the different sys-
TENS OF schools and school laws n
used In the northwest.
My former experience for nearly
four years In this Office has made me
conversant with tho needs of the
schools. and this experience places
me In . position to do better work
than before. I therefore respectfully
submit to the voters the thought that
the interests of the schools will b
better subserved by electing me to tho
Office. / am not identified with either
of the factions Of the party OF which I
Am . member, and if elected will not
be under any political obligations to
any faction, but will be free to devote
my time and best talents to the service
OF the patrons of the schools.
Your support at the primaries June

Respectfully yours.
