HOSPITAL CARNIVAL.
"Wednesday Evenings Entertainment "A Public Weddine"-NoveI Features Successfully Carried Out

On the third night of the carnival being held in town hall for the benefit of St. Joseph's hospital "a public we'd ding" was enacted It was not exactly real wedding, but it was an original and pleasing function nevertheless and kept the people guessing to tine extent that the biggest crowd that has ever congregated in town hall was present Wednesday evening, even long before the hour set for the grand event that had been given considerable publicity.
 The gallery was sold out solid and reserved chairs were placed along the temporary aisle in the center of the hall between the lane of ribbon that kept back the mass of people packed into the hall.
 The festivities opened with a vocal solo. 0 Promise Me, by Edward Fitz- gerald of Norwich. The Public We'd ding" was next. and as Miss Bertha Moriarty played Mendelssohn's we'd ding march the eyes of everyone pres ent were riveted upon the door through which the bridal party entered from the office Of the probate court on the floor below.
 Vincent Sweeney was the bride, Helidore Trudeau the prospective groom, Dr.W. P. s. KeatinS the clergy man, the brides mother. Howard Mill lerd, brides father. Mayor D. P Dunn, best man. Edward Foran, bridesmaids, Arthur Cetter. Harry Tobin, Rene La- fieur. Eugene Curran, Eugene Martin and Paul Vanderman. The flower girls were Edward Moriarty and Edward Ottenheimer ring bearer Waiter Riley. The ushers were Charles Hills and a delegation of five others from the Thread City Cyclers.
 Just as the bridal party reached the door the bride turned the groom down cold and although he begged upon his pended knee she would have nothing to do with him and instead married the best man.
 The gowns worn were beautiful and were closely inspected by the immense crowd present.
 The brides gown was d dainty cre- ation of rare old lace, empire en train. She wore a veil cought with real orange blossoms and carried a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley. The bridesmaid were charningly at- tired in point d'esprit, over all colors, carried unique bocquets of frs in flower pots. The brides mother look ed good enough to marry in net over green with hobble skirt and red sash and a conspicuous head dress in the form of.a red afgrette. The flower girls were dressed in red, white and blue and Dutch costumes and carried genuine market baskets heavily 1a- den with handsome (paper) flowers.
 The ring bearer was attired in green and wore small gold hat with green ostrich plume. The bridesmaids also wore wreat ths of pink roses tied with large bows across arms and depending | to the Waistline.
 Immediately following the ceremony a reception was held and Mayor b P. Dunn, as auctieneer, disposed of all the wedding presents very easily aAe a neat sur1 was added to the carni- val fund. Boxes of real wedding cake were also on sale and some one was lucky enough to get a wedding rius that was placed in one package. The nights entertainment was great sue- cass.

Before Referee in Bankruptcy A. J. Bowen Wednesday forenoon and after noon there was a continuation of the nearing on the Ernest M. Arnold bank rupt estate. Practically the entire ses- sion was devoted to the examination of C. $. Andem of Thompson, who helds a mortgage for s22.aoo on the estate, given June l. 1910. There is a oues ton whether or not this mortgage was not an intent on the part of MT. Arnold to make Mir Andem a preferred creditor, thus the hearing Wednesday was held to consider the advisability of insti- tuting suit to have the said mortgage declared invalid on the ground abovs mentioned.
 Suggested by Arnold.
 During the course of the examina- ton Mir. Andem explained ali she transactions with MT. Arnold in the minutest detail during d period cover ing six years, claiming that the amount of the mort gage. S22.30o. rep- reeented practically all that he was worth, having been invested with Mir. Arnold for the entire six years and the mortgage was rendered him June by MT. Arnold at MT. Arnold's sug- gestion, to secure claims and notes that he, Mir. Andem, held against the estate. Part of the amount represent- ed checks due at that time, but which Hy the terms of the rnortgago that was ono for sixty days. were included sn it. He felt for some time the ne- cessity of protecting the interests of his family out had never mentioned anything of the same to Mir, Arnold. and the mortgage was given him wholly at Mir. ArnoIds suggestion He claimed that he had never heard a word of any difficulties in which MT. Arnold had been involved and even when the mortgage was given him did know hn xrror ts, oi, straits, having always had the most trustworthy confidence in MT. Arnold, as was tEe case with practically every one else in Putnam and vicinity, and ne could not believe that MT. Arnold was fDsolvent

ASKS STATE AID TO
DRIVE OUT SNAKES
KanSan Has Killed 200 Reptiles
and Sees No Hope of
Victory.
HIS FAMILY is ROUTED
State Board Of Health lnstructs Chem.
lists to Devise Something That
Will Rid Farmers Home of Pests
House Infested With Blacksnakes.

Topeka, Kan.-Chemists have
worked out medicines which will drive
rats and mice and insects out Of a
house, but none ever developed a
scheme that will drive snakes out.
The Kansas board of health has asked
the chemists of the State university
and Agricultural college to see il they
can find something which win drive
blacksnakes out of the home Of Tbeo'
dore Herman at Beloit.
Herman has appealed to the board
for something which will let him live
in the house. He was driven out Of
his home two weeks ago by bl1cR-
snakes and has not been able to ex-
terminate them yet, although he has
killed more than 200. The snakes are
apparently as thick as ever.
Herman is a prosperous farmer and
lives two miles from Beloit in a stone
house, built many years ago. One aft
ernoon Mrs. Herman put her baby in
the go-cart preparing for a walk. The
baby had broken it's bottle that morn
ing and Herman was going to bring a
new one home that evening. A bowl OF
milk was placed in the bottom OF the
