SAINT PAUL YOUTH HAS SKEPT|CAL
 FATHER
Orders Boy Not to Marry Till He Sees Him-All
 Ends Happily

ST. PAUL, Minn., March 30.-Christ G. Nelson, who formerly lived neal ! Missoula, Mont, but who of late has called St. Croix county, Wisconsin, his home, and Anna Lerfald of St. CroiA county, Wisconsin, were married by Court Commissioner Henry Gallick al the courthouse in the presence of i'm mediate friends. Behind this simple , tale is tale of true love and it's tri umph over obstacles
 Christ is a clean cut young man of , 2l, while the bride is only IS years old. Fred Nelson, father of the boy | represented the obstacles in the little drama. He was a benignant witness of the nuptial ceremony.
 The affair started when young Nelson decided to visit the old home of the Nelson family in St. Croix county and started east last fall. Arriving in St Croix county he met Miss Lerfald and as soon as the big western youth saw the dainty St. Croix miss he realized l that he had met his affinity Instead of returning to his Montana home he sent word to his parents that he had decided to remain in the east for a while and obtained a position in the Wisconsin town.
 His courtship of Miss Lerfald went smoothly, but his absence from home caused uneasiness. The elder Nelson was not born yesterday, in his own words, and he detected something in the wind. Christ s letters were all about the beautiful scenery surround i,,,r Al. delightful winter sports-never word about the girl.
 Finally, however, letter arrived in Montana announcing the engagement of Christ and Miss Lerfald. Now, Mir. Nelson, the elder, had preconceived opinions as to what kind of bride his son should choose. Hardly had the ru- ral pOstman delivered the missive with the portentOus tidings than he hitched his team to the sleigh and went to town to telegraph. "Don t dare to get mar ried until I arrive. Meet me in St. Paul, ran the telegram.
 Hereupon Christ stole march upon his father. Instead of coming alone he brought his intended bride and her sister and friends with him. The party met MT. Nelson in St. Paul yesterday, and Mir. Nelson had long talk with MT. Lerfald. At the conclusion of the interview, Mir. Nelson, the younger, drew his parent to one side.
 You see," he said, "Annie and I want to get married. She thinks m all right, and I'm sure sh's all right, and-er-ah-couldint you withdraw your objections and let us get married next week. '
 You will not get married next week, replied the harsh parent. "In- stead you II come right home to Mon tana with me. But" he added, eff you and Annie will get married right away she can come along My boy, if l hadn t got married long ago, d want to marry her myself" "
 Young MT. and Mrs. Nelson and Mir. Nelson the elder left for Montana, while the St. Croix party, enthused over their mission, returned to their homes.

KEPT SECRET WELL
Supposed Spinster Had En- tered Holy Bonds Over
 Five Years Ago

LEWISTOWN, Pa, March 30.-Miss Rhoda Taylor, believed by all her friends to be spinster, died several months ago.

 It has just leaked out that on the morning of the sale, in rummaging among her papers, Miss Taylor's will was found. In it she bequeathed all her property to her husband. Attached to the document was a marriage certifi- cate showing that she had been married to Samuel Gillilland, a well known farmer of the valley, more than five years prior to her death.

 Editor of the Farmer Str:-As a pa triotic American born of Slavish pa rents I desire to use your valuable newspaper to protest against some of the vile connivings that always take place around election time when sev- eral political parasites promise to de- liver the vote of a foreign colony 'en block
 I read in the Republican Post last night that "a thorough personal can- Vass will be made of the Slavish peo- pie in Bridgeport by a committee con- sisting of prominent SIovaks The names of the committee was given and then it proceeds to say" The pur- pose of the canvass is not for political participation but for the permanent educational instruction in all things pertaining to their civic duties. This plan was formulated at a meeting of the Central committee of the Republi- can Campaign committee at RepubIi- can headquarters last night"

 THANK PRIEST
 FOR HIS STAND
Father O'Connor Warmly Commended Gets Letter from Editor of Scientific American

The Rev. Father M. J. O'Connor, pastor of St. James church, Stratford. has received many letters of the warmest con1mendation in addition to personal congra tulations for the ser mon preached by him last Sunday, condemning the proposed annexation ef aS portfon of Strstford by Eridge=
 Father o'Connor spoke of the age and historical significance of Strat- ford and in so doing struck a warm spot in the hearts of the residents. Among the many letters he has re- ceived is one that he values most highly, from F. c. Beach, editor in chief and proprietor of Americas forem ost scientific journal, The Scien- tific American, as follows: Stratford, October 20.
 Rev. M. J. O'Connor Dear Sir:-
 Was much interested in your ac- count about annexing Stratford to Bridgeport. It is now 21 years since Stratford celebrated the 250th >anniv- ersary of her existence. We certainly want to retain our territory and fight every move for annexation. We must preserve our independence and reserve our resources for future ex- pansion, north, south, east and west ward.
 Your sincerely,
 F. B. BEACH.

 The Slavonians who have votes have been dfsgraced for several campaigns by the men who promise to deliver several hundred votes. There are sev- eral hundred intelligent business men and mechanics of Slovenian percentage Tn this city who have learned how to vote without the aid of these instruc- tors in civic duties. have voted the Republican ticket for years and I don't need instructions in my civic du- ties to know what the Republican par know that it has failed to keep it's promise to remove the S500O damage limit in death cases; that it has dodg- ca the passage of an Employers Lia- e1lty act; that it lied when 1t promis- ed to revise the tariff downward: and that 1t is costing me more to support myself and family than it ever did be- fore.
 All any S1ovak who owns a house, has to do to understand what Repub- ltcan misrule in the state of Connecti- cut means is to look at his last tax bill which was increased over one mill to meet the state tax imposed by a Republican legislature.
 It is wonder that Republican par sands of dollars every campaign to capture votes would not wake up to the true situation. The Slovaks vote as independently as any other class of people and for one make this protest against allowing the impression to go forth that my people can be herded like a lot of goats and driven to the polls on election day.
