jured bachelorhood last Thursday,
when Ed. Foster married Miss Annie
Vordick, TO whom he had been engaged
for some time past. The ceremony was
performed by Judge Z. X. Cheadle at
the residence on Main street which had
been comfortably furnished by Mr..
Foster in anticipation Of the happy
event. The mother of the bride and a
select party of friends witnessed the
ceremony, in which Frank McKechnie
and Miss Floretta Doyle acted as best
man and bridesmaid. Mr.. Foster was
first lieutenant of Company |, and
served with the First Montana volun-
teers in the Philippines, and is now a
partner in the fl%ourishing firm of Foster

in Lewistown, having formerly resided

pany the happy couple in their marital
career.

TO be held this fall will lie for the pur-
pose of placing before the taxpayers of
the city of Lewistown the question
whether the limit of indebtedness of the

above the three per centum allowed by

tive, then a second election will be

Ed. Skinner and Miss Celia Sturman
were married at z o'clock last Wednes-
day evening at the residence Of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c. b.
Sturman. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Albert Pfaus in the
presence of a limited number of friends
of the bride and groom. Alexander
Van Iderstein acted as best man and
Miss Julia Sturman as bridesmaid on
the happy occasion. After the eere-
mony an elegant repast was partaken
of by the bridal party and guests, after
which the newly married couple went
to their comfortably furnished home on
Main street, which Mr.. Skinner has for
some time past been engaged In fitting
up. The bride has grown TO woman
hood in Lewistown and has gained a
host of friends by her sunny disposition.
The groom was a sergeant of Company
l, First Montana, and served with that
regiment in the Philippines, and by his
manly behavior both at home and
abroad has acquired many friends who
wish both his wife and himself success
and happiness.
There is a strong probability that a
memorial fund will be started within a
short time to build a suitable monu-
ment to the memory of the Montana
men who fell in the Philippines. The
subject has been given considerable i'm
petus through quite a general discus
sion, but no one has taken the init
alive, says the Helena Herald. Rev. @.
c.. Stull Of Billings, who was recently
appointed to the position of chaplaini in
the army, and who was with the First
Montana regiment at the front and won
the esteem and love of every soldier in
the ranks, has started a movement TO
build a memorial window in the Metho-
dist church at Billings. Mr.. Stull in
tends to build the memorial window in
the new addition TO the church. II
will be of stained glass and cost in the
neighborhood of $500. Not all the
First Montana boys were Methodists,
indeed, many perhaps, were not follow
ers of any church creed, but the church
is acknowledged as the place for such a
memorial. Chaplain Stull has asked all
the Spanish-American posts in the state
to urge their members to contribute
literally to the cause. Photos have
been sent out showing what is pro-
posed, and it is hoped that a liberal
response will be made.
Lee g. Self Of Landusky desires to
enter a vigorous protest against the
action Of many Of the state papers in
f1'fff3'3"f1F3Fj-1e3.
