Phinisey-Kane.
On Wednesday evening at eight
o'clock at the home of Mrs. Jennie
Gordanier occurred the marriage of
Mr. Floyd D. Kane and Miss Ova E.
Phinisey, both of this city, Eev. A.
L. Woodlock of the Congregational
church officiating. The ceremony
was witnessed only by the near relatives and a few friends. Miss Ada
Kane, sister of the groom, played
Lohengrin's    Wedding   March   just
.juaintances. Always painstaking
and obliging in the position he occupies he can now consider almost every
patron a personal friend.
Mrs Kane, who has lived since
early girlhood with her aunt, Mrs.
Gordanier, has been, until within a
few weeks, in the employ of Davy &
Co. and it can also be said of her that
her gentle, ladylike ways won for her
a host of friends.
The high regard in which they are
held-was evinced by the beautiful and
useful gifts they received,   The young
mr. and mrs. "floyd d. kane.
preceding the ceremony and during it
rendered the selection entitled "Meditation."
The home was decorated in roses
and carnations and' after the ceremony the guests partook of a dainty
lap luncheon.
The bride was beautifully gowned
in a dress of champagne colored crepe
de chine trimmed in Persian trimmings and carried a bridal bouquet.
The groom wore conventional black.
Mr. and Mrs. Kane are young people
who have,spent the greater part of
their lives here and are among the
best known and most popular young
people of the city. Mr. Kane has been
for a number of-**years in the ^employ
of Mrs. A. B Mussell in the drug
store and will continue to occupy this
responsible position. He is a young
man of sterling worth and character
and enjoys the high esteem and
respect of his many friends andac-

On Monday evening about twenty

The groom was securly bound and
taken to his home on a stretcher

assembled witnessed * the surgical
operations which the doctors thought
necessary. Refreshments followed
and a jolly evening was had by all.

Warning to Beware of the Democratic
Campaign Against the State
Tax Commission.
»
G. C, Leibrand, the supervisor of
Vernon township, is a farmer and a
prominent Granger. As deputy of
state supervision for the State Grange
he lias during the past two years been
in touch with the rural communities
over much of this part of the state.
Recognizing that he is conversant
with the sentiments of the common
people the*Sentinel secured an interview with-him on one phase of the
present campaign
"What do you think ?of the state
tax commission?" was asked Mr.
Leibrand.
"Of course," he replied, "some criticism may perhaps be passed on some
things the bo u*d has done.but at least
it is putting on the rolls a lot of personal as well as other property that
was escaping taxation and I consider
it* a good thing for the farmer.
Specitlc taxfs from, railroads and-corporations have greatly increased since
the tax commission was * organized
For example I notice that in 1892
when the democrats were last in
power there was assessed against the
reilroads only $859,645.22 but this year
the sum of $3,756,149 42 is assessed
against them."
"But how does that effect your taxation in Vernon?"
"Why it greatly affects our school
tax. For example district No. 1 this
year raises only $75 by taxation and
nets enough out of primary money to
pay its teacher $360 and other expenses
If there were no increase of primary
money through specific taxes the district would have to raise at least $300.
And it is quite similar with the other
districts pf the township "
"What do you think of Senator
Doherty's stand in these matters?"
"Senator Doherthy has a farm in
Vernon and is our heaviest taxpayer
and though Vernon isn't in his dis-
trtrct I believe he* stood firmly for
many things in the interest of his district in particular and farmers in general in the legislature. , In this matter

of primary money 1 understand there
was a movement originating in Wayne
county to do away with state tax as
now levied and apply the specific taxes
from railroads, etc., to pay state expenses. If that were carried out, it
would be a fine thimr for wealthy
counties like Wayne and Kent but a
miv-hty poor thin^r for Isabella and
Olare. Why this year Isabella's state
tax is $14,042.33 but we get primary
money amounting to $23,724.80 and so
if the proposed pMn were in force our
county would loose over $9,000 this
year while in a similar way Olare
county would lose over $6,000 and thus
it is more or less with every county
in Doherty's district. But he saw
through that scheme at once land
helped kill it off every time it was
presented. I nuess that's one of the
reasons the Scripps' papers called him
the Bell Cow and other beautiful
names simply because he stood firm
for the interests of the district. I
would like to see more men in the legislature like Doherty who would stand
firm for the interests of the f irmers?"
Mr. Leibrand expressed the opinion
thnt Tim Tarsney's speech in this city
Monday wus only a bifcc politic il, bluff
to try to cover up the advantages coming from the st ate tax commission, for,
as it is well known, the democratic
leaders are opposed to that commission. The state tax commission is the
results of Grange influence and he
added, "We Grangers are very anxious
thnt it at least be given a fair chance
before it be so fiercely attacked."

years and was a member of the city
