OF its predecessors, The cold wave
commenced to send out it's runners the
latter part of last week and by Satur-
day the weather was just getting in
good shape for a lively squirt for the

Mr.. Mitchell was in hisssf first suit of

FRYHLING--BRO WEDDING.

Marriage Of John T. Fryhling and Miss Lu
ella Brown.--Groom'sM Mother Suffers a
Stroke of Apoplexy While Going to the
Wedding.
The marriage of John T. Fryhling
and Miss Luella Brown, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Brown, occurred
atthe Woodland Brook Luthe church
in Bogus Brook last Sunday afternoon
at O'Clock, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. A. Larsgaard. The
newly married couple will commence
housekeeping at the new home Mr..
Fryhling completed last fall. The
wedding was to have occurred at 10 A.
M, and the guests were waiting for the
arrival of Mrs. F. Fryhling, the mother
OF the groom, who left her home in
Princeton at o'clock Sunday morning
to attend the wedding, but while on
her journey to the church she was over
come by the cold and suffered a stroke
OF apoplexy which affected the whole
OF her right side. It is not known lust
when the unfortunate woman suffered
the shock, but it must have been
shortly after she left home. When She
started out she placed warm brick in
the sleigh to keep her warm, but the
severe cold and the biting wind soon
numbed her and the stroke of apoplexy
ensued. She fell forward onto the dash
board with her right arm resting over
the top OF the same and in this position
and entirely helpless she remained I'M
til the horse arrived at the home of
Mrs. Nels Nelson, a daughter of Mrs.
tryhling. Her face was found to be
badly frozen and the woman was nearly
dead. She was taken into the house
and vigorously rubbed with snow and
given such treatment as was thought
necessary in such cases. When she
came to enough to recognize those
about her it was soon discovered that
she did not have the use of her right
side and DR.. Tarbox was summoned
and relieved her as much as possible.
She is. in very serious condition and her
recovery is doubtful.

A SILVER WEDDING E.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Peterson Cele-
brated Their Silver Wedding
20 ,s.e&.- #
Tuesday Night.
rlany Friends and Neighbors Presen1
Who Leave Tokens of the Hap
py Occasion.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Peterson cele-
DRAFTED their twenty-ffth wedding an
niversary at their home last Tuesday
night. The "silver'' convention of old
friends and neighbors in honor of the
occasion will long be remembered by
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson. The house was
crowded with guests, and the evening
passed all too quickly in social pastime
and pleasure. All hearts were young
again and entered into the spirit of the
affair in a way that made every guest
enjoy the evening.
In one corner of the parlor was a car
nation plant that had seemingly not
been unmindful of the occasion, for
there we're just twenty-five pretty lit
tie pink blossoms among the heavy TO-
liage of the plant. The plant began
poisoning about week prior to the
wedding anniversary and sent forth just
enough blossoms for the anniversary
event.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson were recip-
tents, of many handsome silver tokens.
The K. P. boys presented them with a
beautiful silver set of six pieces, while
the Maccabees gave them companion
set of four pieces, the whole making a
very elaborate and useful table set.
There were also large number of in
dividual gifts.
Among those present from outside
points were B. P. Edy of Minneapolis,
the Misses Carrie and Erika Norell of
Minneapolis, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Mode
of Zimmerman, and Miss Lind of Beck
