FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES CAUSE
Young Farmer OF Pages Mill to
Take His Own Life. Was
Prominent I'm His Com
munity

Friday about noon Buck Rogers,
a young farmer of Pages Mill sec
tion. ended his life by drinking
two ounces OF carbolic acid. After
taking the deadly dose death fol-
lowed in ten minutes. 1t is sup
posed that worry over financial
difficulties caused young Rogers to
end his life.
Mr.. Rogers resided about two
miles this side of Pages Mill where
he conducted a saw mill and farm.
He was a very energetic man and
up until a few years ago was in
prosperous circumstances. His saw
hill was located near his home and
he gave both the farm and the mill
his personal attention.
About two years ago his saw mill
was destroyed by fire and in addi-
tion to losing his mill he lost about
$4,000 worth of lumber. He had
no insurance and the loss fell heav-
lily upon him. However, he went to
"ASh hio energy
and soon rebuilt the plant. His
business was running along smooth
ly and he was recovering from the
less when his plant was again de-
stroyed by fire last spring, entail
Ing another heavy loss upon him.
This loss, combined with a bad crop
year, crippled him badly and caus-
ed serious financial reverses from
which it seemed impossible
to recover.
Friday morning Mr.. Rogers went
to a neighboring bank to borrow
some money with which to meet
some obligations then due. He fail
ed to get the money and returned
to his home about noon. He went
out on the back porch and with

and in an excited harangue, declared
that the man was a registered voter
and was in consequence eligible to run
for the deputyship, while she was pro-
hibited according to the new laws.
Miss Anna Nicholson Scott, whose
marriage was an event of Thursday
evening, was the feted guest at sew
eral delightful parties preceding the
date set for her wedding. There were
teas and luncheons given by the girls
of her bridal party, and then there
were teas and receptions by the older
members of her family She is charm
Ing girl with that sort of personality
that old people like and remember.
There is vanity of age that yearns
to be considered and youth, so busy
with its own concerns, frequently for
gets. Miss Scott has had the happy
faculty of remembering the old and
young alike, so that when there was an
opportunity for her older friends to
entertain for her they did the honors
with energy and enthusiasm. There
were several parties during the week
for Miss Scott that were not heralded,
but among the teas that were impor-
tant socially was the one given by
Mrs. Edwin Newhall The family was
pleased with the match, and there
were happy Fluctuations all around.
The tea given over a week ago by Mrs.
Newhall was an informal affair with a
spontaneity about it that betokened the
most cordial welcome to the pretty
bride elect. She was an attractive pic
ture, to be sure, in her frock of white
net over pink, and she carried an arm
full of pink roses. The decorations
were all in pink, that harmonious color
that had been chosen for the wedding
decorations. Mrs. Newhall had several
other pretty girls in her receiving
party that Were gowned in white and

was performed The officiating clergy

service of the Roman Catholic church

and scores of friends crowded around
them after the ceremony to offer their
fluctuations. The bride is an attract
i've girl and wore a gown that was ex-
white metier, elaborated with rare
lace that is an heirloom in the family.
She wore the conventional veil and
carried a shower of lilies of the valley
and orchids. The matron of honor was
Mrs John Ewing of New York, who
was here for the ceremony and has
been feted at several parties since her
arrival a few weeks ago. Mrs. Ewing
wore a gown of white satin and the
robe was trimmed with a portion OF
the lace that is a family possession
The maid of honor was Miss Louise
Mccormick, cousin of the bride.
When it was announced several weeks
ago that Miss Mccormick was to at
tend the bride the pretty bridesmaid
was confused with Miss Louise Nc
Cormfck of Chicago, but it was only a
coincidence of name. Miss MeCor-
mick. who acted as bridesmaid for

of the recent bridal parties. The lit

Scott In fact, most of the girls who
devoted themselves to the office of re-
ceiving the guests at the tea were
members of the bridal party. Mrs.
Nicholas Kittle, aunt of the bride, was
among the guests, and it was at her
home that Miss Scott passed most of
the days preceding her wedding. An
other of the guests who has been
very devoted to the pretty guest of
honor was Mrs. A. w. Foster of San
Scott There were several of the
younger friends of Miss Scott at the
tea given and Miss Mary Keeney and
Miss Marian Zeile were among the
first to offer their fluctuations. There
was a group of debutantes, too, at the
tea, and among the most attractive of
these was Miss Agnes Tillmann, who
has been in town a great deal during
the past fortnight There were sew
eral men hidden for the later hours
and the party was thoroughly success
full from every point of view.
