That Dul nth Excursion.

| It was a merry crowd that boarded
the special train at the Great Northern
Depot on Sunday morning last that bore
| them away for day OF pleasure and
sightseeing at the Zenith city. Over
a hundred people took advantage Of
this Opportunity to see the twin cities
at the head of the lakes; the band
among the number, and the same train
carried equally large crowds from
Long Prairie, Alexandria and Mel
rose, while a number of other neigh
boring towns were we'll represented on
the ex ;ursion. At five o'clock a. m.
The train left the station here, having
already brought down the excursion
lists from Alexandria and Long
Prairie. At Melrose another coach
was picked up, which was gaily decor
ated with bunting and was well filled
with merry company of Melrose citi-
zens. BY this time the eight coaches
were filed and the train sped on it's
way with few stops, merely picking up
a few passengers here and there at the
smaller stations.
At St. Cloud, the Sank Centre train
passed the Willmar and ST. Cloud
special, train Of twelve coaches,
which pulled out for Duluth a safe
distance behind the first train. From
the county seat, the excursionists wei
hurried on along the Huxley division,
through the bleak country desolated
several years ago by the great Hinkley
disaster. Many more years will be
required to transform this land of
black ned stumps and deserted farms
to country of green forests and hap
py homes. Stops were made at Mora,
Milaca, Hinkley and Sandstone, this
being the last stop before the train ar
rived at Superior. At 11:30 the bluffs
that loom up about Duluth overshad-
oweG the train on the one hand, while
on the other the blue waters of
thu harbor stretched far away below
it, dotted with sails and craft of all
kinds, from the busy little tugs to the
b g whalebacks and passenger boats
lying at the wharf or putting out to-
W Lrd the lake.
In a short time the elegant union
station was reached and the eager
sightseers poured out of the train and
UP the streets of Duluth, band leading
the way. After lunch many took the
elegant. passenger boat, "Bon Voy-
age'' for a two hours trip on Lake
Superior, the largest body of fresh
water in the world. For many it was
novel experience and to all it was
thoroughly enjoyable-the steamboat
excursion alone was worth the trip to
Duluth. And then everybody went up
the ''incline" to the pavilion at the
top of the bluff from whence there was
a magnificent view of the surrounding
country. The city of Duluth lay
spread out thickly below, with the
waters of the lake beyond it, stretch
ing far away until the blue of the sky
was merged with the blue of waves.
To the right lay the harbor with it's
giant wharfs and coal docks, cut off
from the main body by the long green

Married at Home.

! The no ne of Mr.. and M rs. J. J.
Buchanan was the scene of very de.
lightful home wedding last evening,
when their daughter Mary was united
in marriage to Rev. F. A. Sumner, OIL
Little Falls, by Rev. G. E. Smith.
The decorations consisted of wild
palms, ferns and flowers tastefully ar
ranged under the direction of Rev.
and Mrs. G. E. Smith and Mrs. w. l.
Henshaw. Only relatives and imme-
date friends were present, those from
out of town being Misses Nellie Spen-
Ger, of Missouri, Hermione Hall and
Belma Cramb of St. Cloud, Emma
Stanton, of Sank Rapids, nellie A.
Olson, of Zumbrota. Mrs. Gertrude
Richmond: of Fergus Falls, DR.. and
Mrs. o. c. Trace, of Little Fails.
The appearance of the bridal party
was preceded by an artistic rendition
of the beautiful ballad 80 Promise
Me,' by w. l. Henshaw, after which
the procession moved down the stairs
to the wedding march, by Mrs. Hen
shaw. Firstcame the six brides maids,
M Uses Hermione Hall, Velma Cranb.
Nellie Mccormick, Margaret Irish,
Nellie Spencer and Lucy Reid, attired
III dainty summer gowns, bearing
arches of evergreen, beneath which
passed the maid of honor, Miss Mabel
Buchanan, in blue organdie, followed
by the bride, who wore corded white
silk and carried brides roses. At the
altar they were met by the groom with
the minister and groomsman, o. J.
Schwieger, and the solemn ceremony
performed which united their destinies
for life! Refreshments we're served in
the dining room by friends of the bride
under the supervision of Mrs. Frank
Perry and the evening pleasantly spent
in social intercourse and extending
congratulations and best wishes, p a
number of young people remaining to
see the newly married couple safely
started on their wedding trip which
will last for several weeks, including
visit tothe grooms' Connecticut home
and to the principal cities of the East
On their return trip they will begin
housekeeping at Little Falls.
A number of beautiful and costly
presents were received, while NOR
await them at Little Falls and at the
home of Mr.. Summers parents in Con-
necticut.
The bride is widely known and de-
servedly popular in Sank CentIe where
she was born and grew to beautiful
womanhood. She is a graduate of
our high school and attended the state
university for time, having since
been engaged in teaching. An accom-
plished musician, her departure willb
keenly felt in church and social circles
where she was leader.
The man of her choice is bright
energetic clergyman, who has already
achieved success in his chosen calling.
His first charge after leaving the semi
nary was at Glenwood where he num-
bers friends and admirers by the score.
At present he is pastor of the, Little
Falls Congregational church, which
has been materially strengthened by
his labor for the past eighteen months.

xor, YorlL. Dec. 6. = In a binding
. Mv last night the massive block
ia bindings on Broadway, Nos. 253 to
Os " md included between Murray and
warren streets, was almost destroyed
Wv Are Within three hours more than
million dollars worth Of property
.as destroyed. The fire began in the
fvostorv brick building occupied by
tbe mems furnishing firm of Rogers,
poet & Co., Adjoining the RogersPeet
building and south of it was the mag
Yifcpnt white building Of the Home
life Insurance company, and next to
tbis was the brown stone building of
the Postal Telegraph company, erected
nj n cost Of millions only a few years
non Within a few minutes after the
discovery Of the fire the Rogers-Peet
building was d roaring furnace and an
alarm had been turned in which
brought more than a score Of engines
70 the scene. 1t was but short time
when the flames had eaten through the
wall of the Home Life and were roar
Inc high above that lofty structure.
Every effort was made to save the val
liable papers stored in some of the Of
fees. but many Of these were lost. In
the Postal building as well there were
Many Serious Losses
of private nature, and when the
flames reached the operating room of
this structure, which they did within
three hours of the outbreak, the one
OF two solitary operators who re-
NAMED at their posts were compelled
to fee for their lives, leaving unsent
messages at the keys. The fire burned
even more fiercely in the Home Life
building owing to the great height of
this structure, and i'll an incredibly
short time the upper half of this mag
hifcent building was in flames. The
water towers in the street were able
to throw their heavy streams only into
the lower part of the structure, and the
fremen, though they worked with
great bravery and untiring energy In
the binding smoke and heat, could do
little i'll the face Of such q fierce sweep
CT fame and gale. 1t was only a ques-
ton Of time when the Postal building,
so far as the upper stories were con-
cerned, went the way Of the others.
The estimate of the losses by Chief
Bonner, after midnight, was a million
dollars, with a probability of a still
further loss should the fire continue to
make anything like rapi dprogress. At
that hour, however, he believed that he
had the fire under control. At 2
o'clock, however, it was still burning
hercely IN front, and, although not OBJ
Sarvable by the thousands of special
tors, was burning still more fiercely
and extending lower down in the rear.
The fire started from three explos-
ions What caused the explosions no
one knows. 1t is thought gas had es-
capped in some manner in the basement
&nd so resulted in explosion and fire.

st. Paul, Dec. 6. = Ed T.. Warren.
deputy United States marshal. who
went through the battle of Leech Lake
with the troops, and who is familiar
with all the Indians in the northern
part Of the state, having lived among
the ChippeWas for several years, said
to a reporter that there was little queS-
ton that any attempt to arrest an In
dian on either the Leech Lake or
White Earth reservations would result
in bloodshed. The least prOvocation
would start a war and it would take
many troops to suppress an uprising.
"The Indians are ugly and insolent,"
he said. "They claim that they won
victory from the soldiers at Sugar
Point and they are ready to try con-
illusions with them again. There is no
char &c for an officer to go on either OF
the reservations and make an arrest.
The Indians laugh at the officers and
say that they will never be arrested.
They say that they have whipped the
forces of the United States and that
they can whip all that can be sent
against them. AS far as an officer is
concerned he is of no more use on the
reservation than a yellow dog"
indians Disappear.
Park Rapids, Mimi, Dec. 6. = Four
teen of the White Earth Indians have
been encamped on a small lake about
fifteen miles north of here and have
been killing considerable game con-
trary to law. Friday Game Warden
Stephens Of Detroit, in company with
d. w. Clason of this place, went out
and attempted to arrest them. The
Indians resisted, refused to be arrest
ed. drove the men out of the camp and
threatened to scalp them if they came
back. Stephens and Clason came ut
once to Park Rapids, swore out war
rants and placed them in the hands or
Sheriff Rombough. Acting upon orders
from Warden Fullerton of st. Paul a
posse of twenty-five men was organ
lied and went up after the reds. The
sheriff and some of the men have re-
turned and report that no Indians can
be found. Stephens and others are sun
out. Warden Fullerton has arrived
from st. Paul an dis awaiting the ar
rival of Stephens. He says if the cut
nrits can be identified he will go 10
the reservation and take them. Trouble
may result.

the drawing for the redemption of the

those securieits is attributed to the re-
port that the government will devote

been taken by the ministers An Of
