When Congressman Keating
asked for the sentiments of his
constituents on certain political
problems that congress will have
to deal with, he took a safe ana
sensible course. If congress
were always guided by the senti-

democrats of the state have a

from, we believe the nomination
of Ju dge Scott can't be improv-

equivalent to election. 1t would
consequently please the Herald

have Judge Tully SCOTS name
head the state ticket next year.

Cunning Cupid Still caperinr

Why Saturday evening is unknown to
the writer. but the tying of nuptial
knots at such time is getting to be
quite fashionable. One was tied in our
city last Saturday, July 10, at $50
o'clock. 1t was a quiet affair and took
place at the Episcopal church, Rector
VIM. f. Phillips officiating.
Those rounded up by Cupid on this
occasion were none other than MIR.
Reuben Ellsworth, Jr.. and Miss Vera
Brown, two young people of this city
meritoriously popular for their many
excellent qualities They were attend
ed by Mr.. Quintus Brown, brother of
the bride, and Miss Eta Woolf of
Winslow, Ill.
While 1t was conjectured that this
union was a promising possibility, the
announcement of it's having been con
summated served well as a surprise to
their many friends, all of whom, we
are confident, join with The Tribune in
wishing for the young couple a long
life, one ever wreathed with the bless
ing of good health, happiness and pros
perity.
The bride is the only daughter of Dr..
and Mrs. A. d. Brown. and the groom
is "a member of the Ellsworth Foster
company, engaged in the manufacture
of ice cream, one our rising young bus
mess men.
There is no more fitting opportunity
than right here to beg forgiveness for
the failure of the Tribune to chronicle
on time the marriage Of Mr.. Elmer
Ellsworth, brother of Reuben, to Miss
Leila Allen, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Allen of Fayette. This union
was effectuated June 30th, Rev Don
land officiating Whatever words
might be employed to tell Of the excel
lence of young people starting out in
married life could unerringly be applied
to Elmer and his fair bride We have
no better and we need no better, than
they.
