of George Walker and Katie Clark.
Punctual to the minute. the bridal
pair, attended by Mr.. John Morrison
and Miss Jean Cowan took their
places in front of Rev. Peter Mitchell,

spoke the words which made them man

winsome in her white gown trimmed
with lace and satin, while George
looked every inch a man, clad in the
customary suit of black. After. the
nuptials the bridal party, which was
a large one. adjourned to the dining
room, where a sumptuous feast was
partaken of. The gifts were numerous

Mr.. Editor
Some time ago spent few days in
Bottineau. called On you, but you
were absent at the time Bottineau
is nice town, but l notice with
regret that there were quite a few of
your citizens kind of boozy.
1t looks bad for a prohibition town.
lntemperance is a bad habit, and a
bad practice, but prohibition as it
exists in North Dakota is nearly as
bad. Prohibition as it now exists is a
drawback to the State, County and
Town, because as long as liquors are
made, they will be sold and drank by
q. large number Of people. I was
present at one of you: blind pig
trials, and it is disgusting to hear a
man in giving his testimony try to
protect the bootlegger. Lots of men
like drink on the sly, and when they
are called on the blind pig trials, will
sooner perjure themselves than own up
I to having bought of bootiegger
f. Why not vote for re submission It
seems to me it would be better to
have saloons and high license, and
to enforce .he saloon law, than to have
prohibition. You would get the
benefit of the license to improve your
town, instead of paying out money to
prosecute blindpiggers or bootleggers
Men who are engaged in that business
do not care. They would just as soon
[spend few months in Jail as not.
So it is very poor satisfaction if you dc
make a conviction. The county has to
lstand the cost. We did not have
1 any license in our town until last Sept
lember. Before that there were dozens
3of men selling whiskey, and men were
Fdrunk oftener than now. Now you dc
not see any boys drunk, as we did be-
fore we had the license. License will
prevent minors from getting whiskey.
Where there is prohibition, if a ma
Efeels like taking drink, he has to
buy bottle and he is sure to get too
much. He has to sneak around bach
yards and livery barns to drink it.

lbut prohibition does not make me1

HAY WILL MEET REYES.
Special Colombian Envoy to Visit the
-]A.. State Department.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Dr. Herran,
the Colombian charge, called at the
state department during the day and
arranged with Secretary Hay that the
latter should formally receive General
Reyes. The doctor discussed at some
length with the secretary the existing
situation, but will leave it to General
Reyes to broach any suggestions with
which he may have been charged by
the Colombian government looking to
a settlement of the dispute between
Colombia and Panama. Secretary Hay
will give courteous reception to Gen
eral Reyes, but it is clear that in the
view of the administration the steps
taken as to Panama cannot be re-
traced and it follows that Panama,
being in sovereign possession Of the
right of way of the canal, there can be
no negotiations with Colombia looking
to the acquisition from her of any
right TO the canal strip.
