of the United States is not proper

immigrants come here because they
like our liberal laws and better op-

no interests that are inimical to our
interests, and intermarriage and the

pioneers Of New England or New Am

is different. The uitlanders, or OUT

citizens. They do not want to become

permanent homes. As one American
who has been in the Transvaal writes,
'The uitlanders. belong to the same

Beers were-only regulating their con-

Happily marrlea.

A correspondent In Mercer county
sends us an account of the wedding Of
Miss Nettie Haptonstall. The Record
will print it In full, for the reason that
there has been much interest taken in
this county as to the welfare of the
young girl who was SO suddenly left an
orphan, and who always possessed the
respect and high regard of every one.
The correspondents account is as fol-
Iowa:
''Miss Nettie May Haptonstall and
Mr.. g. w. Henderson, of Hazen, N.
D., were married Dec. Z, 1899, at the
home Of Mrs. Davis, in Dickinson, this
state. The young coa 20 started from
the home Of the BRIDES sister, M.ss,
John Henderson, Dec. 5th, for Hebron,
where they took the train for Dickin-
son. There they visited friends and
prepared for the wedding. Wednesday,
Dec. 9Th, Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Hender-
son, parents of the groom, arrived on
the train from Richardton to attend
the wedding, which took place Thurs
day evening at $50. Numerous val
liable and useful presents were re-
ceiyed. Ate o'clock wedding sup
per was served. The young couple,
with their mother and father, took
the o'clock train for their home. The
parents left them at Richardton and
the young husband and wife continued
their journey to Hebron, where their
fhorse and buggy was awaiting them,
and on Friday they left for their home
on Spring creek, seven miles west Of
Hazen. On Dec. Oath they gave sup
per to number of friends and rela-
tives, and on the 26th they gave we'd
ding ball to all their friends at Hazen.
''The groom is a well-to-do stockman.
He was born and raised in Minnesota,
and came to North Dakota In 1885
with his parents, who settled seven
miles south Of Richardton. His pa
rents were originally from Canada, not
far from where Mr.. John Henderson
was raised. However, they are not re-
lated to the latter.
"Miss Haptonstall and Mr.. Hender-
son met about year ago, when the
former was visiting her sister and
brother-in-law, in this neighborhood.
Since that time they have correspond
cd until she came to make her home
here with her relatives, after the
death Of her father"

stampede Continues and Develop
ment Gives Further Evidence
of Richness of the Dtstrict.

Juneau passengers of the steamers Ai-Ki
and City Of Topeka say there IS no abate-
ment of the rush TO the new Glacier bay
placer gold discoveries. George Burford.
one OF the latest arrivals at Juneau from
the Glacier disgings, reports that two
pans washing 20 cents each was taken
from claim No. !, above Discovery on
Nugget creek. The prospect hole from
which the gravel was taken was sunk by
Fred Chase. The latter owns the prop
erty.
Martin Lynch. an old-time prospector,
gave II as hts opinion that the Glacier
district Is far greater in extent than has
been supposed. He and Harry West both
believe that the placers will pay much
better than wages Lynch secured un-
merous samples of free milling quartz.
He says he obtained the rock from a Sec
ton OF the district never before pros
pected. After his return to Juneau Lynch
hurried to Douglas City, where he ex-
pected TO have his ore assayed.
w. NJ. Reinhart reported at Juneau
the discovery OF twelve-foot ledge OF
gold-bearing quartz which extends tine
length OF three basins formed by Nugget
creek. the most extensively prospected
stream of the Glacier bay district.
The Juneau arrivals say claim jumping
has already begun at Glacier bay. So far
there has been no serious trouble, but
the influx OF inexperienced prospectors,
many of whom are averse to real pros
pecting. bids fair to give the earlier To-
Gators Of the district annoyance.
