ents Mr.. and Mrs. M. J. Cosman of
Fifth avenue, when Miss Flora Anne

pllcity. The ceremony was performed
in the presence of only the relatives
and immediate friends and the Mardi
and Bohemian clubs, two circles of in
innate girl friends of the bride, making
a party of thirty-five guests.
The house was beautiful in its dec
orations for the bridal occasion. The
east alcove of the parlor was thickly
hung with asparagus ferns and banked
with potted palms and ferns, while at
each side of the banking were two tall
wicker stands filled with pink chrysan-
themums. The mantlepiece was filled
with Killarney roses, giving the touch
OF color to the hangings of green. In
the living rooms, white chrysan-
themiums, the Thanksgiving flowers
were used.
Ati Z O'Clock, the chords of the
Loehengrin Wedding March were stuck
by an orchestra of three pieces, and the
bridal party took their places beneath
the bridal bower of green, where the
wedding VOWS were spoken by Rev.
Elmer Allen Bess, pastor of the Presby-
terian church in which the bride wor-
SHIPPED since girlhood.
Following the ceremony and congrat-
ulations, the wedding guests repaired
to the dining room where an elaborate
supper served.
At 8 O'Clock wedding reception was
held with Mr.. and Mrs. M. ]. Cosman
and Mr.. and Mrs. Dawson receiving.
The guests at the reception. numbered
$50.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dawson left Wednes-
day night for their home in American
Falls, Idaho. Mrs. Dawson is daugh-
ter of one of Clinton's oldest and best
known families, a favorite leader in
the social activities of the younger set.
All her life has been spent in this city,
where her charm and manner have en-
deared her to all who know her. She
will take with her the good wishes of a
wide circle of friends. Mr.. Dawson is
well known in this city, having been
by Curtis Bros. for nine
years here. He is now partner in the
Iowa Lumber company at American
Falls, Idaho, and has built up pros
porous and influential business firm.
Their many friends will extend con-
and best wishes.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurabie. For
q great many yeers doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

be regretted, but Mrs Boyd is getting

great usefulness to his fellow men. He
was an indulgent companion and hus-
band and an affectionate and faithful
friend For his gentlemanly deport-
ment at all times and on all occasions
he was greatly distinguished. He was
uniformely courteous to all. Very few
men have been more revered and loved
and he will be greatly missed by the
| people OF this community.

Wednesday afternoon about 8 clock,
William Doran, an old resident of the
town, passed away quietly at his home
in this village. He had been in feeble
health for several months and his death
was not unexpected. The funeral ser
vices were held Saturday afternoon
At special meeting of the board of
trustees of Milton college held last
week, the building committee was au-
thorized to let the contract for the ex-
cavation of the basement and aonstruc-
ton of the foundation for the auditor
ium-gymnasium building. No doubt
work will begin within few days.
Contractor Olson of Delavan, and Peter

Milton functions most loved and hon
ored citizens, Mr. and Mrs John Hart.
Of eight children born to Mr. and Mrs

The death of Mr. Horatio Walker
Maxson, which occurred at the home of
his son, w B Maxson, in the village of
Milton, Oct 9, 1909, removes from us
another of the old settlers in this part
of Wisconsin. Mr. Maxson was born in
the town of Sweden, Monroe county,
state of New York, Nov rs, 1927. The
family lived for short time in Alfred,
N Y, but in 1845, when the subject of
this notice was Is years of age, they
moved to Wisconsin and settled In the
town of Albion. In 1854 he was mar
ried to Miss Sara Carr, daughter of
Peleg and Deborah Goodrich Carr, and
sister of S G. and S G Carr, and in 1865
he moved to the farm in the western
part of the town of Milton. In 1884
Mrs Maxson died. Four of six children
born to them died also, leaving Mr.
Maxson with two children, son, w B
Maxson, and daughter, now Mrs T |
Place. With these children he has had
home all the later years of his life,
and by them he has been most tenderly
cared for during the long years of fail
ing health. Mr. Maxson traced his de-
scent, in direct line, from one John
Maxson, an early settler in New Eng
land, having taken active part in the
affairs of the Colony of Rhode Island
as early as 1888. He inherited many
of the sterling qualities which charac-
terized the Maxsons of the colonial
days. He was man of strong convic-
lions and independent thought, bun a
man of few words.

Struck With a Hammer.

Pierre Authman, an old resident of
Volcano, met with a peculiar accident
Tuesday morning. He was engaged
in making fence around his place,
and a young man named Bonneau
was driving posts into the ground
using sledge hammer for this pur-
pose. While so engaged, the head of
the hammer few off, striking Auth
man in the head. The blow had
enough steam in it to raise big
bump, and nasty cut. Fortunately
at the point of collision the skull
was thlok, so that no fracture of the
skull resulted. The local doctor at
tended and dressed up his wound.
and he was getting along nicely at
last accounts,
