MARRIED WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
Col. w. A. Dickinson and Mrs. q. L.
Crockett United in WedIOck.

For sometime Madam Rumor has
asserted that Col. w. A. Dickinson
had matrimonial designs upon a
dashing representative of the fair sex
in the person OF Mrs. G. E. Crockett.
This is one time, at least. the Dame
did not mislead an eApectant public
for last night at eight o'clock the
ColonePs intrigues eliminated in
marriage. The ceremony was per-
formed at the residence of the fair
bride by Rev. w, s, Neighbors in the
presence Of few friends of the con-
tracing parties. They Immediately
launched their honeymoon and
their friends in this city join The
COMET in wishing them a safe and
happy voyage over the matrimonial
sea.

plant, aich now belongs to the COM
pony Mr., Peterson will gradually
work out of the beer bottling business,
and devote his entire attention to the
water, as he is enthusiastic over its

great future. In two or three years

will be made there, looking to the
making of summer resort of it,. In

JAIL BIDS OPENED.

Bids for the construction Of the new
Jail were opened this afternoon by the
county commissioners. They were as
follows for the foundation and super
structure completed, exclusive of cell
work:
w. B. Craig, Sl4, 94S.OO
H. Tanger, 13,311OO
Barnard & RecordCo. ,Min'p's, IA, 947 81
Adams & Single, 12,500 90
Frank Nitmers, 13,41400
G. Kleinsmith Bros, $4,000
Minnesota Stone Co., ST. P'l, 16,S67.00
E. G. Burdick Co., 1912 90
The board took the bids under con-
siderafion. The estimate of Architect
Gerlach was $4,000 above the lowest
bid, and he states that he is surprised
that the bids are all so low. 1t is
probably due to the hard times.
Commissioner Mahowald states that
the cell work will probably not cost
over SO, 800. thus bringing the total
cost of the jailto only 1000, where
as the estimate was $4,000 to $780, 900,
The county has levied $4,000
this year for the Jail, and it
is thought by the commissioners
that another levy will not be
necessary, and that the balance of
the amount needed can be secured by
economy in other funds. The build
ing can be completed without borrow
