Wedding Bells.

John A. Lunden, and Miss Ida
Trygstad were united In the holy
bonds Of matrimony at the Norwegian
Lutheran church in Medary on Mon
day, Feb. 26, 1900. Rev. L. K.
Aaberg, pastor Of the church, offici-
ated. The bride was attended by her
her sisters, Misses Emma aud Anna
Lunden, and the groom by Messrs.
Hans Lunden and Carl Trygstad.
There was large company of rela-
tives and friends of the contracting
parties present to witness the cere-
mony, in fact The church was nearly
filled. After the ceremony the
guests repaired to the home of the
BRIDES parents, Hon. and Mrs. Martin
Trygstad,l where an informal recep-.
tion was held and sumptuous we'd
ding dinner was served.
The occasion unites two of the lead
ing young people of Medary township.
The writer is well acquainted with
both, having known them from early
childhood. The groom has resided
here from an early age and bears the
reputation Of being an exem plary
young man. The bride was born In
this township and ia one of the bright
est and dnnost accomplished of her sex,
and has host of friends who will
corroborate the above. Mr.. LundeE
made no mistake Ia his selection OF q
life companion.

THE REGISTER WINS.
DIR. 0. ". Rood Sues the Register for
$4,000 and is Badly Defeated.
After Hard Fought Legal Battle Extending Over Period Of
Two Days, the Jury Brings in Verdict
for the Defendants

hospitals where surgical operations
are performed, in order to prevent
sepsis.
The instruments said by the doctor
to have been used In this particular
operation, were shown to jury and
the REGISTER has their word for it
that they were rusty in appearance.
The knife said to have been inserted
in the young mans eye, was not
sharp, but full Of nicks and unfit for
use.
1t was proved conclusively that the
doctor, while a regular licensed physi-
clan and holding a diploma from a
reputable medical college, had moth
ing to show that he had taken any
special course or held diploma auth
orizing him to herald to the world
that he was an expert In eye and ear
surgery. In fact, he made himself
ridiculous in his attempt to impress
upon the jury that his certificate as
an optician, or filter Of glasses, gave
him the right to pose before the pub
lie as an eye and ear specialist or as a
man capable Of performing delicate
surgical operations upon those organs.
In addition to this the defendants
were prepared to prove, by an array of
reputable witnesses, nearly all OF
whom had been the doctors patients,
that his reputation and position in
the community was an unenviable
one. But they we're prevented from
introducing this testimony by the
rulings of the court.
The trial was a long and tedious
1 one. The court room was continually
packed to suffocation, showing the in.
tense interest OF the people in the re.
suit, and the REGISTER feels sure
that, In the honorable conduct of its
case, 1t has made many friends, and
that the number of Rood's friends has
corresponding decreased.
/ Messrs. j. p, and w. M. Cheever,
who conducted the case for the de-
fense, are entitled to the highest
praise for the able fight which they
put up for their clients, and the plea
OF both gentlemen, particularly that
OF w. M. Cheever, was one Of the
most convincing arguments ever pre-
sented to jury in the same length OF
time. 1t was short, well worded, log.
ical and bristling with facts. 1t not
only commanded the respect OF the
jury, but the admiration of his
friends.
