A WEDDING PARTY.
M A IL RAGE OF MIR. IEKBERT a.
SMITH TO MISS ANNIE COItHIN,
Ono of the Largest Gatherings in
Attendance That Has Il yer Been
Present ut Il Social Event in
EMmOns County.

One of the most numerousy attended
dancing parties ever held in Emmons
county took place at Ben Corbn's place,
near Glencoe, on Thursday night of las,
week. The party was given to celebrate
the wedding of Mr., Corbin's youngest
daughter Miss Annie ]. Colbin, to MIR.
Herbert A. Smith, of Fort Rice. The
wedding was TO have taken place at 4
o'clock; but, owing to the fact that Mr..
Corbin and Mr.. Smith had not yet re-
turned from the southern part of the
county, where they had gone to procure
the license, the ceremony was not per-
formed until quarter past one clock the
following morning. In the meantime the
large crowd in attendance enjoyed them
selves dancing and in social conversation.
The music was very good. Miss Bartcle
presided ut the organ. with Charlie Cor
bin at the violin assisted by number Of
violin players, who at times relieved Mr..
Corbln. At 12 o'clock supper was au-
nounced, and an adjournment was had
to an upper room where an ENJOYABLE
supper was served.
Shortly after midnight Messrs. Smith
and Corbn arrived with the license and
at about O'Clock the company were in
formed That The ceremony would at once
take place. At 10 the bride entered ac-
companied by her brother Charles The
bride and groom, accompanied by Miss
Kate McShannon sas bridesmaid, and
Mr.. George Jackson as best man, at once
took the seats that had been assigned to
them. The formality of giving away the
bride was assigned to Charles Corbin, her
brother. The marriage ceremony was
bref, but was imprcssively performed by
Justice Flick who has had so much TO do
in that line of business during his long
term OF office, that he has become an cx-
pert. After the ceremony the young
couple received the handshakings and
congratulations OF those who were pres
ent. Then the dancing was resumed and
kept up until after daylight. When the
merry people departed 1t was with many
kind wishes for the future happiness of
the young husband and Wife Nor did
they forget to thank the good-naturcd
and kind-hcarted old soldier and his
estimable wife for their kindness and at
tention in the role Of host and hostess
to the large company that was present.

WILLIAN1sroRr, N. D., Oct. 81, 1884,
To D. r. Streeter, Esq. Pursuant to your
request, permit me to state that the above
figures give the correct valuation returned
against your personal property and real
estate for the years 1893 and 1894. Road
and school poll not added. Respectfully,
L. p. LEE, County Treasurer
Things are coming to pretty pass
when the editor of a newspaper who
has examined public records will give
false tigures--will lie outright in
intent to njure a political enemy and to
help a gang that has hired him in carry
ing out their scheme of revenge. This
Winona Times editor, after examining
the books, gives the assessed valuation
OF four parcels reels of land belonging to the
writer at $685., when the figures on the
Identical books tnat MI. Patterson in
vestigated show that the total valuation
Of the four pieces is 81, ,661--a lie by the
Times people to the extent of about a
thousand dollars. There was no excuse
for the falsehood. Being caught in
such work would make any reputable
editor blush for shame and it ought to
make Braddock blush if, as a great
many believe, that worthy has been tie
actual editor Of the Times since the
campaign began.
Furthermore, besides proving that
the editor of the Times lied, the above
table proves another thing That while
the writer has not, like Messrs. Arm
strong and Braddock, had money to
loan to his fellow-settlers on excessive
commissions and at top rates of interest,
he has certainly had considerable faith
in the country or he would not have
held and paid taxes on 80 much land.

THE gang expect to win on their cries
of "Republicanism," and without any re.
gard to the personal worth of the candi-
dates they have nominated. But what
would be the resultif they should win?
Armstrong, Van Beck and Braddock are
all mortgage holders and collection
agents. They haye pull which,they are
not at all backward in using. With their
united efforts pooled to control conven-
tion, there are very few men in the coun-
ty strong enough to secure nomination
against their wish. II they succeed in
electing Braddock, Klynstra, Kurtz,
Ouwersloot and Hasper this time, can
they not make their combination success.

their success make many voters fear their

ed down because they believe that honest
and competent men should be put in Of
principles of right and wrong to the in
terests Of the bosses. What do the gang
care for political principles? If so, why
did they refuse to send old and tried Re-
publicans like Clayton and Flick to the
Napoleon convention, and send Duguld
Campbell whom we can prove was talk
ing for Walter Muir (the Populist noml-
nee for congress) few weeks before the
convention. Are Republican interests in
this county safe in the hands of men
whose only test of party fealty is Ioyaly
to themselves and to their crooked meth
odsi Must it come to pass that no man,
however good his Republican record, can
be nominated to Office by his party unless
he agrees to help them and their friends9
Must future conventions, like the last, be
run on broken promises and the sacrifice
of friends. We believe not, aud we truly
believe that when the returns come in the
gang will find that their campaign of re-
venge has proved to be total and igno'
minious failure.

THE GANG'S LATEST YARN.

Streeter is assessed for his tree claim
in Buchanan Valley, his pre-emption in
Buchanan Valley, his treesclaim that
he bought from Thomas l}ottomley,
and his homestead where he now lives,
making four claims in all. the immense
sum Of $685.. Taxpayers, what do you
think of that? The ordinary taxpayer
is assessed for his land from $3.50 to $3.50
for each claim. Is the county cheating
Streeter, or does he cheat the county,
WinOna Times.
The above, were it not a downright
and unblushing falsehood, would be
rather rough on the officials who list the
real estate in the county for purposes
of taxation. But, as it is not true, it
simply shows the "hard sleddin' " that
falls to the lot Of a newcomer like Uncle
Mac, who, while being perfectly willing
to lie at his boss behest, knows nothing
of our state laws, and consequently
makes bad breaks when he is COM
mauded by his masters to defame and:
misrepresent an editor whom they can
neither silence nor successfully bull
doze. Of course everybody in the
county knows that the valuation of real
estate is fixed on common basis, that
the value thereof is not given in by the
owner, and that he has nothing to do
with the listing of such property. It
will probably be 'tnews' to Assessors
Couch and East when they learn from
the Times that partiality in the matter
of assessment has been shown to the ed
itor of the Record, and that he has not
been compelled to pay as much tax on
farm lands as other settlers have had to
pay The statement of the Times will
probably cause a very broad smile to
mantle the good-natured features of Mr..
Couch, the Second district assessor, for
the reason that, while l.. "A. is generally
credited with being fair and impartial
assessor, it is not a secret in the neigh
borhood that he and the writer do not
sleep ''under the same kiver" when
party questions are being considered in
this neck O. the woods. The Buchanan
Valley property is in Clare East's dis
trict. The Times has "put it's foot in
it" all through the campaign but this
last break is little bit the worst of all.
Below is given the correct tax valuation
on the writer's property for 1893 and
1894, as taken from the tax books and
handed to us by County Treasurer Lee:
