The Dinner was Good, Twas Simply
Immense, But the Local was
Knocked Out of Time.
But There are Few Interesting
Items which Carelessly, Fell
by the Way.
A Happy Triple Wedding is the Prin-
cipal Event of the Day in the
City of Banners.
The Union Services at the Methodist
Church were Attended by Over
Two Hundred.
Yesterdays Thanks.


Thanksgiving was generally recognized as a
holiday by the people Of Bismarck. and every
body appeared to have princely time. During
thu entire day plates, gcblets and carving knives
could have been heard rattling and clanking,
and the echoing laughter of the feasters made
sweet, subdued music in many household.
The opening dinner at Weber's European res
taurant was relished by large number of Bis
marckians and transient guests. The bill Of
fare was, perhaps, the most extensive and CON-
plete ever iced upon q table in the capital
citv. The king was of an order which
smacked of modern improvements in the king OF
arts, and all who sat about the tables arose to
bestow the highest compliments on MIR. Weber
and his able assistants. At the Merchants the
Thanksgiving dinner was all that human appe~
tite or the most epicurean desires could crave
Emerson & Wakeman had received large
amount of game, and the dining room was the
attractive point for their guests until long after
the dinner hour. Coming to the Sheridan
house. the old substantial and frst%class hotel OF
the metropolis, a crowded room was observed.
The spacious dining room was crowded even
more than usual, and the bill Of fare included
all the delicacies to be obtained from Long
Island sound to the Pacific coast.
AT THE RINK,
the great centrifugal point for amusements, a
day of hilarious, roaring, humping fun was
had. Hewett's cornet band was seated upon the
stage and the musicians discoursed waltzes,
marches, quicksteps and polkas for the gliding
human sea before them. Over two hundred
people put on the rollers and rolled. 1t was a
gay scene. The reporter occupied an elevated
position in the gallery, where he could grasp the
situation with ease, and witness the various
facial and spinal contortions which were most
wonderfully executed by the performers. The
days amusements were ended by the excellent
performance of Hewett's Musettes last evening
and the community will now begin to lay in
supply of inspiration and thanks for the next
annual day Of grateful acknowledgements, in
1884,

ceremonies supper was served, and |.
genuine Thanksgiving feast ended the
festivities at the house, A long list
of elegant wedding presents were heaped about
the room by numerous friends, and many were
sent by mail. The guests escorted the bridal
party to the tram, where Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson
departed for ST. Paul amid the songs and cheers
of their congratulating friends.
At precisely 6 o'clock, DR.. A. T. Bigelow and
Miss Edna Kelley, Of this city, were married in
Northfeld, Mimi, it baving been prssrranged
that weddings should take place at the same
hour. Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson will be Joined in

The European Openins.

Mr.. J. e. Weber, was we'll repaid for his efforts
to please the public, by the throng Of represent
ative people who sampled the boundless supply
of delicacies and choice substantials which were
spread upon the numerous tables. The large
windows of the restaurant were filled with
mammoth cakes, which represented the daint-
lest and most lucious fruits and rare produc-
tions of the tropics. Last evening Mr.. Weber
remembered the TRIBUNE, by sending in sup
per to the entire force, and for time the COM
posing rooms and eanctum were transformed
into newspaporial dining room. The Euro
pean is complete success and will soon be one
of the most popular resorts for the hungry and
weary traveller along the line of the North
