Cured last Tuesday evening, August

Nellie Newbsrry, oldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Newbsrry, to tho
Hymen's alter. One hundred and
twenty-five invitations had been sent
eut to friends and relatives, and over a
hundred of the invited guests were
present. On account of the large num-
Der invited, large booth had been
erected in front of Mr.. Newberry's re-
sidence for the accommodation of the
guests and where the ceremony was
performed. The day was not one to
be wished for by bride. it rained~ all
day long until about o'clock p. M,
when It stopped. and the sun permitted
its golden face to peep from behind the
sombre clouds to shed some rays of
shining light upon the young couple
that were to be linked together in the
golden bands of wedlock. The omen
was one for good. Every cloud has its
silver lining and we sincerely hope that
the young people whe have cast their
lot together SO long As life shall last,
will see nothing but the silvery side OF
the worlds turmoil a. they journey
through life. The ceremony was Sc,

The whole question now is, shall

have less? True the contractionists
have tried to shift the issue to the
silver purchase clause in the Sher-
man law, to the disparity in the COM
modify values of gold and silver, but
the late bimetallic congress at Chic
ago pricked these bubbles SO effec-
tually that there is even now lull in

press. The Sherman law provides
for the purchase of 100000 ounces
Of silver per month and the issuing
Of coin certificates therein to the gold

After reading some Of Col. Pat
Donan's effuslons it would lead a
person to think that he had been
eating something that did not agree
with him. His interviews and arti-
cles are a tangled up mess Otto olish-
ness and eminate from the brain Of a
man disappointed in his political as
pirations. The Col. is great deal
like weather vane that turns with
the wind. One day he points one
way the next Cay the other, it all
depends on the size Of the "jack
pot" in sight. From his recent ut
terings we should imagine the Col.
is after democratic consulship.

The republican convention of the
state of Iowa, held for the purpose
of nominating a state ticket last
week, practically abandoned prohi-
bition. The resolutions adopted by
the convention were against prohibi-
tion-as party issue. The repub-
licans of that state confidently be-
lieve by this action of throwing out
the prohibition plank from their
platform that they will regain thou
sands of votes lost to them through
the prohibition feature of their plat
forms in the past. Whether this &C
ton on the part of the Iowa republi-
cans is wise or otherwise the election
will tell.

A great many congressman and
senator's are blaming the president
for skipping out and leaving them.
If reports are true Mr.. Cleveland
has cause to leave. 1t is reported
that another daughter has been born
to President and Mrs. Cleveland,
and under the circumstances the
country ought certainly to excuse
him. Leaving this little family mat
ter out of the question, the kickers
have no kick coming. The presi-
dent has told congress what he
wants them to do and he does not
deem it necessary to roost on the
front steps of the capitol until ccon-
gress gets through fooling. When
they pass some legislation the presi-
dent will be ON hand, in the mean
time fishing is reported good at Buz-
cards Bay.

The country isn't going to finan-
cial destruction. Don't get excited.
Don't work yourself into fever.
The man who is hot all summer very
often makes himself hotter in his et-
forts to keep cool. People who get
excited over the financial situation
may not only be unable to get them
selves to feeling better, but they may
cause unrest in their neighbor, who
had not before thought of getting
excited. People who think it is pol
itics that is creating all the disturb
ance, should remember that this is
not the first furry we have had in
this country. A great many persons
will recall twenty years ago-the year
1873-with trembling, even now.
They thought then that the whole
country had gone to smash, and that
there wasn't financial glue and bust
ness muscilage enough left to patch
the pieces together. But we came
out of those cloudy, stormy days;
were soon on the road to prosperity
again, and for time were happy.
We are bad enough off, now; we all
know that. But we were so much
worse off in 1873, and came through
strong and safe, that We shouldn't
lose heart, let our under lip hang
down, like a clover eating horse,
foam at the mouth like canine with
the rabies, nor work cur windmills
like cyclone had us in its clutches.

The Northern Pacific receivers
have ordered reduction in salaries
of employees of the road. Salaries
from 1900 to $1,000 are to be re-
duced 10 per cent; salaries from
S. 900 to $4,000 to be reduced IS
per cent, and salaries above $4,000
to be reduced IS per cent. This cut
will not affect the men getting less

than the Great Northern, which re-
duced the wages of the lowest as well
as the highest paid of the men.

The complaint made by the board

been drawing warrants to pay his

Casselton Republican,
The Republican editor was one of
the gang that put up the slate at the
last convention, and our editorial On
the congressional question seems to
have punctured his hide somewhat,
50 that it calls forth the above slur.
The Republican should remember
that when its sllvery-tongued orator
was making campaign speech here
two years ago, in his opening re-
marks he said he "felt sure that the
voters of Griggs county were an in
telligent class of men, and that he
was favored with an intelligent audi.
ence, and that he felt sure they would
vote right, ETC." The Col. we hope
has not changed his opinion, or is he
just giving us taffy? Our people
were just intelligent enough to re-
pudi ate the choice of the gag con
vention for governor last election,
anyhow. Griggs county gave Gov.
Burke nice majority when he ran
the first time, but our people were
satisfied with one term as regards
that gentleman, and the convention
was told that if Burke was renomin-
ated Griggs county would give
,Shortridge majority, so she did
and several other counties did like
wise. The corpulent editor of the
Republican wants to remember that
even if oui people are not all Ameri-
cans by birth, majority are citizens
by their actions and can vote lust as
antelligently as the editor of, the
Republican.
