THE EXPOSITION CLOSED
President Wagner Turned OF the
Light Last Midnight.

Charleston, S. c., May 31.-At mid
night President Wagner will turn off
the electric lights, the buglers will
sound Taps a salute will be fired and
the South Carolina Interstate and West
Indian exposition will have passed into
history. The exposition opened on the
First of December last and the six
months Of its existence have made a
very brilliant season for Charleston.
The first half of the time was not very
prosperous for the fair, but during the
last three months great crowds have
visited it. 1t is stated the entire enter
prise will be a loss financially and the
stockholders will receive none of their
subscriptions back. Some loss will
probably fall On the bond holders and
there are a few outstanding debts,
though the showing in this respect will
be much better than was predicted.
Otherwise the success Of the exposition
is unQuestionel. The last day was OBJ
erved as Charleston day and the atten-
dance was large.

THEIR SIND BIRTHDAYS
CELEBRATED BY OLD sETrLERs
Taper Recall Earlier and
More strenuous Days.

Two old settlers of this city have Just
celebrated their ,ighty-second birthdays.
They are George Brayton, who came to
Minneapolis in 1857; and Captain John
Taper, who has lived in Minnesota since
1914.
Mr.. Brayton was born in New York but
rent to Chicago in 1889, when that city
contained scarcely 5000 souls. He was an
active abolitionist, and when the war
broke out he enlisted and served with
honor in the ranks of the Ninth Mime
sofa Many of the old gentleman S
friends gathered Monday evening at his
home at 27O4 Forty-first avenue S, and
tokens Of remembrance of this SD mile
stone were presented.
Mr.. Taper, or Captain JOHN as he
is Familiarity called, celebrated his SD
birthday last night at the home of his son,
Frank H. Taper. 600 E Fifteenth street.
Some forty friends, many Of whom were
old pioneers, were present. Mr.. Taper
came to the territory of Minnesota in
1874. and settled at Fort Smelling, but
later moved to what is now Minneapolis.
He tells of sowing wheat on the land
where the Nicollet hotel stands, and OF
gathering large crop of potatoes in what
is now the Omaha railroad yards. The
captain was the recipient OF many gifts
from his appreciative friends. Music and
light refreshments added to the pleasure
of the evening. - 49,

to be held by the National Educational
association in Minneapolis in July.

and salaries reported that three teachers

CUPID WAS THERE, TOO
As Result Miss Franc Coleman and
Irene Howe Are Mrs. Dumas
IT, and Mrs. Sessions. A.

Two Minneapolis young ladies who at.
tended the Northwestern Minnesota foot
ball game in Chicago last November were
married to two young men from this city
VINO are now students in the Northwestern
medical college. The young ladies were
Miss Irene Howe and Miss Franc Cole
man, the former the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs j. w. Howe of Portland avenue,
and the latter the daughter of Mrs. r. H
Battey. They are now, respectively, Mrs.
John Sessions and Mrs, Delbert F. Dumas,
and have been since the day of the game.
When the young ladies left Minneapolis
TO attend the game at Chicago they had
made up their minds to a runaway mar
rage. They met the young men in the
windy city and were married to them by
justice of the peace. After three days
the young ladies returned to Minneapolis
and their husbands to college. The secret
was we'll kept until recently when all the
facts leaked out John Sessions is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Sessions and
Mr.. Dumas is son of F. Dumas, of this
city. They will return from college with

MORE LIGHT ON DRAFT
Another Message From Bergen Bank
in Gjertsen Case.

in Gjertsen Case.
If any corEoboration is needed of the
statements IL Rev. NJ. Falk Gjertsen that
he did not draw any money on the much
discussed Bergen draft it is supplied by
another message which completely exon
crates Mr.. Gjertsen from the charge made
by Artist Greenwood. Members of the
Trinity church were at first inclined to
believe the statements of Mr.. Greenwood
that the money had been drawn, but the
positive denials made by Mr.. Gjertsen
shook their belief. 1t was decided to ascer-
tain just what the facts were and in the
name of President Sverdrup of Augsburg
seminary the following inquiry was cabled
to Bergen's Priyat bank:
Private Bank, Bergen-Is the secunda
of your prima 26os, 1901, paid to Gjertsen
or order. Answer. Sverdrup.'
The following reply, which is eminently
satisfactory to all persons interested, was
received yesterday afternoon: 80. ).
Painter ordered to present prima to
us. Private bank"
Some unfortunate blunder has occurred
else Mr.. GREENWOOD could not have written
as he did. This will no doubt be explained
later.
