Pretty Wedding.

One of the prettiest weddings that has
taken place in the capital city was tina,
of Miss Willetta Elinor Wheat and Lee
Malcolm McGlasham on Wednesday ev.
ening. The marriage was solemnized a,
the Church of St. George at eight o'clock
in the prerence of a large number Of
friends, Rev. A. A.. Joss reading the beau.
tiful Episcopal service. The bride en-
tered on the arm of her uncle, MI. A. c,
McGillivray, preceded by the matron Of
honor, Mrs. A. +. Patterson, and the lit
tie ring.bearer, Helen Bronson. The
groom was attended by Nh. Carl Jorgen-
son as best man. The bride wore a beau
tifnl gown of white crepe de chine, with
tulle veil, and carried a bouquet of
brides roses. The matron OF honor was
exquisitely gowned in cream etamine,
and her brunette beauty furnished an
excellent foil to the fairness of the bride.
Immediately following the ceremony a
reception was held at the home OF MIR.
and Mrs. McGillivray, where a great
many friends presented themselves to
express their congratulations and good
wishes to the young bride and groom.
After a wedding trip in the east Mr.. and
Mrs. McGlasham will reside in Bismarck.
Among the long list of people who
gave costly and beautiful presents are
noted the SCofeldS. CrOwls and Simp.

Dan Manning Met With lis Old Comrades.

Last week Mayor Manning attended
the 35th annual reunion Of his regiment,
the 52nd Illinois, at Dundee. Mr.. Man
ming is a member of Co. l, and during
the past year two of his comrades have
died.
Among the letters from absent COM
rades was n from Col. J. D. Davis,
dated at Kyoto, Japan. MIR. Davis has
spent many years in the far East and as
bearing upon our newly acquired terri
tory, the following extract is taken from
his letter.
ut is difficult for me to realize the
great change that has come over the ma
ton we fought to save. l have been
away from it thirty-one years, and 1t is
hard for me to take in the fact that the
nation has nearly doubled in population,
and far more than that in wealth, that it
has become a world power so that all
the other nations are deslrous of the
friendship and good will of the United
States, that the scepter is passing from
Europe to America, that Cuba is redeem
ed and relinquished, that the Philippines
are ours by 1.-THE hand of God" and must
be redeemed and guided:by US, that we
are one of the powers in the far East.
1t is difficult to realize that the nation,
which was despised forty years ago, is to
be the leading nation OF the world, not
only in freedom, but in wealth."

A Sad Death.

The death of Mrs. H. c. Christensen
on September 4th was not unexpected,
but it was sad, and leaves a family OF
children motherless. Mrs. Christensen
had been sick since about February,
1900, and had been away from. home for
treatment since last spring.
Deceased was born in Denmark on
the 18th of June, 1853. She came t. the
United States in the year 1883, and was
married to Hans c. Christensen on the
18th of June Of that year, in the city OF
Bismarck. Mr.. Christensen was a cattle
rancher living in the country northeast
Of Dickinson, and about 10 years ago he
moved into town with his wife and chill
dren, where they have since resided, 60.
ing to the ranch usually for a few months
in the simmer.
AT death Mrs. Christensen was 4o yrs,
2 mos. and II days Of age. She was a
woman much respected by everyone,
and always tried to give her fpmily that
individual care which a true wife and
mother should give. She was a mem.
Der of the local Rebekah lodge and also
of the Maccabees. The sister Rebekahs
had charge of the funeral arrangement.
and we're assisted by the Maccabee la
dies, both societies furnishing beautiful
flowers for the casket. The services were
held from the Congregational church
of which deceased was a member-Sun'
day afternoon, Rev. H. V. Romingel
preaching the sermon.
