dent-elect, and that Carlisle 10 expected,
but beyond that was extremely reticent.
Rumor has it that the president-elect is
not satisfied with the way things are
going on in congress, and wants Randall
and Carlisle to adopt some fresh and
vigorous solicy. OF course, nobody has
the smallest particle of information as to
what took place between Cleveland and
Randall, but it is the general belief that
nothing in the line of cabinet appoint
ments was mentioned. sS
sphinx County seething Volcano Of
Indignation.
REDF1E1D, D. T., Jan.2 Especial.
The kilograms from Ashton, published in
your paper, to the effect that there is no
opposition to county division and location
of the county seat at Ashton, except that
emanating at Redfeld,, is base fabrica-
tion and an imposition upon the people
of Sphinx county. Indignation meetings
have been held in various parts of the
county, all denouncing in the strongest
terms the division and county seat
scheme. Crandon has sent man to op-
pose the measure. Athol Frankfort,
Worthwhile and Redfeld have each done
likewise. Doland has contributed money
to aid in sending lobby to Bismarck.
Mellette, the home of Councilman Day,
has also sent a representative there to
fight the bill. In the name of common
sense, we ask Ashton to name the men
outside her vicinity who favor the
scheme. Crandon citizens have hung
Miller and Day in efigy. -4

ASHTON, Oak, Jan. 29.-[Special.] T.
The people here await with much in
terest the action of the legislature upon
the Sphinx county seat bill. Nine-tenths
Of The people Of the county would feel
outraged were the county seat located at
Redfeld, but would be highly gratified
to have it located at Ashton, which place
has clear political county seat record.
The opponents of Ashton use as an ar
gument against her, the division portion
of the bill and are trying to work up
sentiment against her on that account.
AS a matter of fact, three-fourths of
those opposed to division are in favor OF
Ashton for the county seat, and do not
want it understood that the petitions
they have signed against division are to
be used against Ashton. Bashford,
Meyers and Mariner, the Redfeld lobby
now at Bismarck, are men whose state
ments on this point should be taken with
several grains of allowance.

paired to the cemetery and proceeded to

some of the property was attached for debt.
The balance was run off by the cowboys and

mounted the ponies and skipped overland for

The dog peltng business should not stop
in the cities. There is lots of room for good,
iudicious shooting in the rural districts, es-
pecially when one thinks Of the numerous
cases which in one form or another duplicate
the experience of Saml Nicholson, Esq, on
last Thursday evening. He was riding home
with his little son in an open buggy, driving
a three ycar,old colt, perfectly gentle but a
little green, perhaps, to country practices,
and trustworthy on all reasonable occasions.
While passing barn, out rushed two whelp
dogs at the horse, who jumped aside with a
lunge. MIR. Nicholson, who happened to be
looking for something in the buggy, was
taken unawares and thrown out of the buggy
to the ground Having hold of the reins,
the horse was stopped and no damage done,
since he was unhurt and the boy remained in
the buggy. But no man should permit such
dogs freedom, and any man would be justified
in shooting them.

Wedding Bells.

The society event Of the week in Ottawa
was the marriage, at the Episcopal church on
Tuesday evening, of Miss Maggie, daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. Joseph Stout, Of this city,
to Mr.. George H. Root, of Chicago. Invita-
tions had been largely issued, both to witness
the ceremony at the church and to reception
at the residence of the brides parents, after
the ceremony, and it is needless to say the at
tendance was a jam at both The ushers for
the occasion were Ed c. Allen, jr., DR.. X. b.
Dyer, George Trimble and Emerson Morgan
the bridesmaids Miss Mamie Morse, of
Evanston, and Miss Mabel Cushman, OF this
city, and the groomsmen Mr.. VIM. McBrum,
of Chicago, and Mr.. Rothrock, of Geneseo.
Our jenkins failed to be present to take notes
OF the dresses worn by the principal parties,
and it must suffice to say that all were richly,
tastefully and becomingly arrayed. The par
ties arrived at the church promptly at eight
o'clock, and the procession in due order
moved up the center aisle to the altar to the
strains of Memberships wedding march.
The church was profusely decorated with
flowers for the occasion, and presented a
brilliant appearance. The ceremony, which
was of course that of the Episcopal church,
was impressively rendered by the rector,
Rev. n. w. Heermans. At its close the par
ties and such of the attendants rs had been
invited, repaired to the residence of the
bride, where the usual congratulations were
extended and sumptuous wedding supper
was served.
The presents were displayed in an upper
room and were exceptionally rich and
numerous.
The bride, who was born and raised in this
city, is the youngest daughter Of DR.. and
Mrs. Stout, and, since her entrance upon the
stage of girlhood, has been favorite and
leader in our young society The groom
who is an accountant in the Union National
Bank of Chicago, is native of that city and
young man of engaging presence, intelli-
gcnce and refinement.
A number of the guests were from abroad
among whom were Mrs. Mather, Mr.. and
Mrs. Town, Chicago; Mr.. and Mrs. W. c.
Furst, Denver, Col; Mrs. Morse and daugh-
tiers, Mr. and Miss Brown, Evanston; Mrs.
Root, mother of the groom, Mr. Rothrock,
Geneseo; Mr. and Mrs. Dawson and daughter,
Fort Wayne, Ind; Messrs. McBrum, Cedar
Rapids, Iowa; Mrs. Albert Hard, Milwaukee,

tiers for the present at the Hotel Bristol in
that city.

violinist will appreciate the delight her hear
crs must have enjoyed.
