KELLER ADAMsON- Married at HOlton. Kas.,
on Tuesday. May Is, 1896. at the home OF the
Mrs. Keller, Of ElkpOint. :. D.. and Miss Jes.
sic A: Adamson, daughter OF DIR. and Mrs. v.
v. AdamsOn.
The above chronicles an event of the
marriage of one of Elk Points bright
young men to the accomplished daugh-
ter Of physician in Holton, Kas. The
bride is charming young lady, having
been born In HOltOn and graduated
from their high school with honors on
the 25th of May, the day before she
was married. She comes OF one OF the
leading families in her native town,
and her welcome here has been one of
extreme cOrdialitv and we'll wishes for
q future full Of happiness. The groom
is thoroughly an Elkpoint boy, having
come here when 8 or 9 years of age,
and with his parents has been resi-
dent for fourteen years. He possesses
the requisite material, which by fru-
gality and economy, industry and per-
severan- 20, will make him a success in
every term of the word. He has been
studying the science of dentistry for q
year past, at Holton, with q view to en-
tering into the profession for his lifo's
work. In July or August he will ap-
pear before the state board of dentistry
and pass the examination for diploma
granting him the right to enter into
active work in that field. To the happy
couple all Of Elk Point extends their
blessings, believing that Dame Fortune
will shower her choicest gifts upon the
loving pair. For q few weeks they
will be domiciled in the handsome and
comfortable home Of Capt. and Mrs. A..
D. Keller, after which they will 60 to
housekeeping on their own account.

MISLEADING.

The argument Of the Sioux Falls Ar
gus-Leader against the river and har-
Dor bill is regarded as weakly not .
few imbecilic. The editor Of that
glowing" sheet states.
Those who are stren0usiy shouting for river
and harbor bills and big appropriations for ev-
cry little creek and bayou REGARDLESS Of whsth
the money expended must be contributed BY
the people themselves. While this state for ex-
ample gets few thousand dollars out OF the sp-
preparation 1t pays tO other states many times
~ much.
II the Hennepin canal project, the
widening of the Sault Ste. Marie locks,
the deepning of the Galveston harbor,
and other matters Of similar import
come within the term Of .'bayous and
creeks it is rather sad commentary on
the intelligence Of the Argues-eyed
editor. Each one of these projects
when completed mean cheaper trans.
portation for the wheat OF Dakota farm
ers. Even the Galveston harb0r will
eventually furnish an outlet for the pro-
ducts of the western plains, thus giving
the producers shorter haul and neces-
sairily q cheaper rate to the seaboard.
AS regards general benefit these i'm.
prOyements are OF more value than the
specific ones given In South Dakota.
Therefore the idea expressed in the
paragraph below is misleading and
false:
