Mid winter Wedding
CARVER ADAMS


 A very simple and pretty weddin E took place at the residence of Hermon C. Carver, at four o'clock, Monday afternoon, when Milton c. Carver, only son of MT. and Mrs. Hermon c. Carver, and Elva l.. Adams, daughter of Edwin H Adams, both of this city, were united in marriage by Rev. ] K. Stubbert, pastor of the First Baptist church of Putnam. The bride and groom entered the room unattended. Both wore travelling suits of gray cloth. Alter the ceremony an informal recep. ton was held. Light refreshments were served. The rooms were decorat- ed with bouquets of pink and white roses.
 Owing to the recent illness of the groomis mother, only the nearest rela- tives and friends of the young couple were present. Miss Mildred E. Car yer, sister of the groom, was in charge of the affair. MT. and Mrs. Carver were the recipients of many useful and pretty gifts.
 As various mysterious appearing packages were occasionally discovered, and slyly carried on conversations were overheard, the bride and groom thought it best to make their escape as quietly as possible. At given time an automobile was awaiting them at the front of the house. Quickly they took their places in the car and then there was such footing of horns and shrieking of whistles that the musical program which was going on in the house was suddenly brought to close and the surprised guests were excited ly asking one another, "Where are they ?" But all too late ! when the guests reached the street the car was speeding away and was soon lost to view followed by the "Good-luck" cries of all.
 Mir. and Mrs. Carver were soon land ed at the Pomfret station from which place they boarded the six o'clock train for New York. At New York they were to take an express for Washing ton, D. C., in which city they are to make their home.
 MT. Carver is a native of Putnam having lived here until within few years, when his business called him elsewhere. He Is young man of un usual ability as stenographer and type writer having held several responsible positions in various places. He at tended Becker's Business College of Worcester in 1907 and was graduated with honors. He now holds govern ment position in Washington.
 Mrs. Carver has been resident of Putnam the past few years. Sue is young woman who possesses charm of manner and sweet temperament. She recently became a member of the Baptist church of this city. She has made a great many friends here and her presence will be greatly missed by all who know her.
 MT. and Mrs. Carver have the best wishes of all their Putnam friends for a long and happy married life.

The Imperial Minstrels.

Another big success was scored by
the Fort Benton Amateurs at the
opera house Wednesday evening,
when they appeared as the Imperial
Miustrels for the benefit of the band
stand fund. Every seat in the house
was filed, and most OF the standing
room was occupied.
Careful and frequent rehearsals un-
der the expert direction of Jere j.
Sullivan enabled the company to
present an excellent performance
considered by many as the best ever
given by local talent. The solos and
choruses were rendered with splendid
effect, the music was all that could be
desired, most of the local hits we're
new and apropos, and the elaborate
costumes-designed especially for the
occ casion-contributed to the pleasant
features of the entertainment.
The members of the company, who
are to be complimented upon the sue.
cess of their show, are Mr.. and Mrs.
Ezra L. Crane, MIR. and Mrs. Lyle K.
Miller, Mr.. and Mrs. 81. G. Sullivan.

Nellie Murphy, Miss Lillian Poulsson

The trip Of President Taft as or
'einally planned, has come to a close,
and although there has been several
additions that will lengthen out the
original program and keep the head
Of the nation travelling and talking
for some time yet, the big tour is
practically over. In forty-one days
the President made $50 speeches in
which he treated of every possible
subject. The reception given the
President in localitiea and states
where the Progressive movement is
supposed to be strongest, has been
very cordial. In South Dakoka,
where there is a presidential prefer
ence law, and where claims have
been free that the President will
lose out, largely due no doubt to the
noise made by Senator Crawford and
his followers, there was plenty Of ev-
idence of genuine loyalty and affec-
ton shown for the President, and
reports from the presidential party
are to the effect that leadership like
that exercised by Senator Gamble
and Congressman Burke and Martin
can not help but outweigh any per-
sonal efforts by Mr.. Crawford. Con-
gresham Burk' presentation of
buffalo steak to the President, and
the tender of gold bricks made
from the genuine metal, by Con-
gresham Martin, formed items of
interest, and served to call attention
to distinctive points concerning
South Dakota.
In Montana Senator Dixon and
Congressman Pray were not met
with contradiction when they de-
clared that the sentiment of the
state among Republicans was unani-
mously in favor of President Taft.

Worthy OF Praise

In the rescue from drowning of Ex-
Mayor John A. Tressler from the icy
waters of Lake Bowdoin, j. w. Bray
ton, manager Of the Imperial Elevat-
or Co., showed GOODNESS, courage, and
endurance that few men could have
equaled. His bravery is conceded by
all who hear the story to be heroism
of the highest type. Tressler and
Brayton, with Harry Cosner, VIM.
Mcclellan and II. NJ. kirton were at
the lake duck hunting and had gone a
long distance from the shore in a
light steel boat, when darkness came
on. That day the lake was rough
and wave, Il little higher and
stronger than the other waves, struck
the boat and capsized it when they
were about = half mile from The
shore. At that point the water was
considerably over the head of Brayton
who is q much taller man than Tress-
Ter. and with q "Shut your mouth.
John, and hang onto the boat" Bray
ton chung despe rately to one side Of
the boat and Tressler to the other
side. aud with their heavy hunting
boots and clothes saturated with the
icy water this was extremely difficult.
Fortunately, the wind drifted the
boat to where the water was shallow
er and where Brayton could occa-
sionally touch bottom and hold his
head above water. Urging Tressler
to hold on to the boat. Brayton
dragged the boat toward the shore,
some of the time walking where his
feet stuck and slipped on the mucky
lake bottom, sometimes swimming
where the water was deeper, some
times pausing to draw long breath,
but always struggling bravely on
the goal of safety-the shore,
and this was about mile and half !
from the Club House. On reaching
the shore, the two men, shivering
with cold. and with water soaked gar
ments weighting them down, started |
the Club House where help |
was to be had, but weakened by the
long struggle in the water, they
stumbled over the weeds and reeds,
and fell occasionally until Tressler
was so exhausted he could go no far
cher and he fell limp and almost life
less on the shore. He must get help,
he must save Tressler, and with al
most superhuman effort Bra ton ran
to the Club House through the dis
NAL darkness to tell his brother
sportsmen, but OH reaching the Club
House his iron nerves gave way and
he sank to the floor and could not
speak coherently. In a moment,
however, he recovered sufficiently to
tell, and Cosner and Mcclellan took
their automobile and went in the di-
rection indicated. When near the
place where Tresslerfell, they CROPPED
about with the lamp from the ma
chine and finally found him. Carry
ing him to the machine they made
