Butte who are drawing salaries of from

Well. decent board there costs you no less

Bismarck's boom of '8S. Large stone houses
are now going to ruin. 1t is not because
they have not raised good crops. No, they
never can raise crops like North Dakota in

a lack of civilization and a lack of natures

and wife. The marriage was very quiet
and unostentatious, only the intimate
friends of the contracting parties being
present to witness the ceremony. The
presents were numerous and elegant.
Dainty refreshments we're served. The
bridegroom is one of the best known and
popular engineers on the Northern Pacific
road, and has so successfully kept secret
the news of the approaching nuptials that
his many friends were pleasantly sur
prised when they learned of his marriage
to one of Bismarck's fairest daughters.
The bride has resided here with her folks
for the past eight years and is a popular
and charming young lady. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dalziel are to be congratulated on their
happy union. They will take up their

Fargo for the present and left for that city

the best wishes of their Bismarck friends
for a happy and prosperous voyage on the
