Kilmer transacted business at Laporte on Tuesday. Mr. Bert Cook of Athens, visited Laporte friends last week. Mr. Ed. Sweeney spent Sunday at his parents home near Dushore. E. P. and P. H. Ingham were bus iness men at Sliunk on Wednesday. Misses Dolly and Pearl Snyder are visiting Miss Pearl lleini this week. Clyde Shank and Floyd Waltz of Williamsport, are the guests of I)r. W. H. Randall and wife. Andrew Rose has purchased the dwelling house of Otis Rose, oppo site the school house, and will move the same to his lot on West Main St. Mr. John T. Brewster who has been in very poor health for the past six months, v was considerably worse the early part of the week. His im provement is very slight at present. An enthusiast on the excellent quality of the United States paper money says "a hundred dollar bill will sustain a weight of forty-seven pounds, lengthwise." That's noth ing. We have known a hundred dollar bill to sustain a man and his family for several months and get out an issue of the paper each week besides. It is about time for the great young America to make a fool of itself over the Ith of July. Burned ! houses and barns, damaged fingers and disfigured faces will be the inev itable result of the foolish playing with Chinese toys, firecrackers and other nonsensical fireworks. Hon. and Mrs. J. D. Reeser, Dr. and Mrs. Herrman of Dushore; Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Murelle of Athens, and Mrs. E. V. Ingham of Eagles Mere were among the out of town guests who attended the Strolil- Wrede wedding. One of the most unnecessary things to do in Laporte is to chase out of town for neat and attractive printing of any kind. Our plant is equipped to a degree that is capable of execut ing job printing equal to any city plant, and it does it. Besides that the cost is much less at home. Be assured that we can accommodate you in any line. If you desire to pay a fancy city price just for the name of it, we can accommodate the most fastidious, in this particular notion, admirably well also. Try us. But tell us what you want. The marriage of Miss Marion Henrietta Wrede and Mr. James H. Strolil was solemnized at St. John's Episcopal Church at Laporte Tuesday. Promptly at twelve o'clock the wedding party reached the church, already filled with guests invited to witness the cere mony. Tha wedding march was beautifully rendered by Miss Olive > Barrows, violiniste, and Misß Jose phine Colt, accompanist. The brides maids Misses Jessie Wrede and Alma Lauer, carrying 1 huge bouquets ol pink carnations led i the bridal party. Then came Miss 1 Eliza Shaut who acted as maid of honor, and carried pink roses. She was followed by the bride who was handsomely attired in white crepe de chine over white silk, with | tulle veil, and carried a magni ficent bouquet of white roses. She was accompanied by her brother Mr. Leo Wrede. Messrs Ernest Lauer and Grant Strolil acted as ushers. At the altar the party [ was met by the groom and Mr. W. [ J. Graybell, best man, Tht cere mony was impressively performed by Rev. M. Gernant, rector of the Episcopal Church at Towanda. At its conclusion the wedding party and guests to the number of about one hundred repaired to the Laporte Hotel where the wedding cinner which was a sumptuous repast was served in the best of style. The happy couple left on the 5:50 train for a wedding tour. The bride has always resided at Laporte and is one of our most | popular young ladies. The groom t is principal of schools of Laporte ' and a most worthy and esteenable , young man. The best wishes of a r host of friends go with the young 0 couple.

The cows have rallied brave ly to the support of their owners and raided several gardens owned by the "signers" who have suffered severe losses in cabbage and tomato plants; several additional stretches of side walk were broken and the proud banners of the milkers have been spread in all directions. Up to date the "signers" have as yet received no young cattle to pasture and the new Side Walk Wrecking corpora tion has no hoof to plant on walk, or garden, or lawn and not a single cow's tail to brush away flies be neath the shade of the trees in Ma ple Park. Those who care more for the town than they do for the cattle have not yet abandoned the tield and will struggle valiantly for clean streets as long as there is any space left—not occupied by the banners of the "cowites." Grrmnn Parliament Show* a Dlapo nitlon to Reaent Dliicrlminatlon. The recent tariff law passed by the German reichstag establishes a maxi mum and minimum rate of duties. The law authorizes the minister of finance to negotiate commercial treaties ex tending the minimum rate of duty to those nations that make no discrimina tions against Germany and admit Ger man products on such terms as are satisfactory to the minister of finance. To all other countries the maximum rate, which is practically prohibitory, is made applicable. If we grant by commercial treaty special favora to other nations, such as are proposed in the adoption of the Cuban and French treaties, for instance, we will place ourselves In a situation where the Ger man government will apply her higher rates of duty ta all our products. The bill is framed as a club to hold over our heads especially and the heads of every other nation that does not ac cord German products privileges equal to those accorded to competing coun tries. In effect, Germany snys, "Dis criminate against us if you will, but don't be surprised when you find us playing the same game." We are now on the verge of a tariff war. The commercial treaties between the various leading nations of Europe all expire within the next two or three years and will have to be renewed. We cannot afford to take the lead in mak ing discriminations. If we do, we are going to get into a great deal of trou ble. We shall make more enemlea than friends, and for every dollar of immediate profit there will be $lO of ultimate loss. At present our foreign trade Is In a highly nourishing condi tion. Will It be Improved as the result of provoking trade Jealousies and mak ing trade enemies? Is It not another case of letting well enough alone? Bnllded Better Than They Knew. It is true, as the secretary of the treasury said, that the fathers of the republic builded better than they knaw. They regarded protection as a temporary device to safeguard our in fant industries over their Initial stage and which might be abandoned when they had become established. They did not know the permanence of the condi tions against whicb protection was a safeguard; they did not realize that the conditions of better living which the protective tariff made possible needed constant vigilance to preserve them against the competition of labor that was accustomed to a lower stand ard of comfort. The free traders in the United States constantly sneer at the "infant industries" which still need protection, but the trend of events in Great Britain shows that even in free trade there Is no assurance of perma ueney or stability. Under the protec tion assured by the Dlngley tariff the prosperity of the industrial Interests of the United States has been so largely enhanced that half England Is crying out for the abandonment of free trade and for a return to the old policy of protection under which Great Britain attained to its Industrial prosperity.— Brooklyn Times. ______ __ ORIGIN OF THE GRANGE. Some Historical Facta Concerning the Organisation of tile Order. Prom the Michigan Patron we take the following historical facts relating 1 to the Institution of the Order of Pa trons of Husbandry: The first subordinate grange was or ganized in Washington the Bth day of January, 1868, as a school of Instruction, with William M. Ireland as master. The first dispensation for a grange was granted at Harrisburg, Pa., the 4th day of April, 1868, but the first regular subordl- , nate grange to which n charter was Issued ' was organized at Fredonla, N. Y., the 16th day of April, 1868. The first statu grange, that of Minne sota, was organized the 22d day of Febru ary, 1869. The new Order made slow prog ress up to 1872, only 257 granges having been organized In the entire country. During the year 1872, 1,105 were organized, and the Order had an existence In twenty two states. The first meeting of the national grange as a delegate body was held at George town, D. C., the Bth day of January, 1873, with six of the founders of the Order and seventeen delegates present, representing eleven Btates. Six of the delegates were masters of state granges, and the remain der were deputies In the Order. At the last session of the national grange twenty-seven states were rep resented by regularly appointed dele gates, and the total membership Is now about 600,000. Vermont has eighty subordinate granges and a total membership of about 5,500, according to the last re port of the state grange secretary.
