Joshua Simkins" was played at the
Theater last night, and will be put on
again this afternoon and tonight. The
audience was fairly good. The play is of
the rural type, Astounding in rustic jokes
and a display of the difficulties in which
the folks from Coon Hollow find them
selves when they leave that sequestered
locality for the city. Scenes in which
some one appears with every-ready

his pals succeed one another with rapid

Alleged WORCESTERSHIRE

To the Editor Dickinson Press: A,
the Independent and Democratic Judi,
cial convention where MIR. Register re.
ceivcd the nomination for district Judge
a resolution was passed to the effect that
said party in convention assembled were
Tin favor Of a non-partisan candidate
1t those who took part in that owen
ton were honest and really meant what
they said in that resolution, why did they
not run Mr.. Register as a non-partisan
instead of putting him on a partisan
ticket? Those who are acquainted with
the facts as to the political record of Mr..
Register will not claim for a moment
that he has any right whatever to be re-
garded as a non-partisan. What are
some of the facts? -Four years ago MIR.
Register made a thorough canvass of the
district with a view to obtaining a NOM
ination for judge OF the republican
ticket. AT that convention MIR. Register
had only n delegate and Judge Win
chester received almost the unanimous
nomination. MIR. Register went out from
that convention and worked against
Judge Winchester and in favor Of Mr..
Newton, the democratic nominee, till the
polls closed, and accepted a nomination
on the democratic ticket against Z. S.
Allen in Burleigh county as states at
torney, and was showed under. During
the four years that followed Register
still claimed that he was a republican.
This year he makes another attempt to
get nominated on the republican ticket.
When the republican judicial conven-
ton assembled at Bismarck, it was found
that Mr.. Register had one county favor
able to him. All the other eight coun-
ties we're favorable to the denomination
of Judge Winchester. What does this
"non-partisan" candidate, MIR. Register,
and turns his back upon the republican
enemy and accepts the nomination on
other words, after making two unsuccess-
tisan on the republican ticket, he turns
traitor to the re publican party, and jumps
onto another partisan ticket and expects
to ride into Office with a popular cry Of
"non-partisan."
If the friends of Mr.. Register wished
to put him forward as a non-partisan,
why did they not keep out of all conven-
tons and run him On his merits outside
of any party? A man that can change
his political views with every wind that
blows, who can be first on n side and
then on another, would be liable to have
wabbly opinions if he should be ad-
vanced to the high and responsible posi-
ton Of judge of the 9th judicial district.
His friends are claiming that the office
has sought him. The fact is that he has
been seeking the office seduously for the
last eight years and has used all the
means he knew of to get the nomination
on any ticket that was available.

Pleasant Social Event.

A silver wedding is always a happy
event, but that Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L.. SEQ
field, celebrated at their home on Han
naford street the evening of October
10th, was more than usually so.
In response to dainty announcement
cards issued a few days before, the guests
arrived at 6:3o, and a few minutes later
sat down to an elaborate course dinner,
served as only Mrs. Scofeld can serve.
The tables were very inviting with their
dainty. napery, china, and silver, and the
eight young ladies who waited upon the
company seemed to have caught the
spirit of the hostess, and did their part
perfectly. The place which each guest
was to occupy at dinner was designated
by a plain di%nner-card, upon the reverse
side of which was a delicate water-color
sketch of a summer girl, a winter
girl, a Puritan girl, a Gibson girl,
or some other charming girl. These
were little gems Of art-the work of Miss
Edna Scoheld-and were much admired.
The rooms were decorated with carna-
tions and ferns, and a carnation was laid
beside each plate. At the close of the
dinner at $50, the gentlemen who wished
to smoke withdrew and entertained
themselves in their W fashion for three
quarters of an hour, while the ladies and
the gentlemen who remained visited
with each other or listened to music.
The bride of twenty-five years, in her
gown of black organdie set off by a
corsage bouquet Of scarlet carnations.wa
as radiant as any bride on her wedding
day, while the groom looked more than
pleased with his judgment of a quarter
Of a century ago. They were the recipi-
ents OF many handsome and useful ar
ticles in silver, the gifts of friends in the
city and elsewhere.
The latter part of the evening was
given to progressive euchre. Mrs. Currie
and Mrs. John Dobson, Mr.. Gotta and
Mr.. Senour carried off the honors.
The invited guests were, Mr.. and Mrs.
Arnett, Ayers, Berry, Clark, Gotta, Cur
rie, Courtney, Crawford, Carter, Cooke,
Crowl, Davis, DeGraf, Dostaler, Dickin-
son; Geo. Dobson, John Dobson, Free
