WEBS HIS sTEPDAUGHTER.
Marriage of Samuel 8. Murdoch to
Christina MiIen of Nottingham.

The marriage of Samuel Bethiah
Murdoch of Chicago TO his wife's
daughter Christina Milen (Murdock)
of Nottingham, the possibility and
probability of which have agitated the
daily newspapers of this section this
summer, became an accomplished fact
at Albany, n. Y, Thursday, Sept, s.
Miss Milen, or Murdoch as she has
been called since her mothers mar
riage. resigned a position in Great Bar
rington, Mass, last year and came TO
the home of Mr.. Murdock's sister, Mrs.
Z. L. Wheeler, in Nottingham to assist
in caring for his father, Dexter Muir
dock. who dives there, and his moth
er who died last September. Mr.
Murdoch came to Mr.. Wheeler's Mon
day. Sept 3, and the couple started
Thursday morning for Chicago stop
ping at Albany where the ceremony
was performed. There are only two
states, 1t is said, in which 1t could ae-
galy take place, Mr., Murdoch is 54
years of age, his bride 80
samuel B. Murdoch is a grandson
of Rev Hosea f. Ballou, the Univer-
salist minister who preached for years
in Nottingham and Wilmington, ana
n nephew of Hon, Hosea B. Ballou,
and has therefore, various relatives IN
Windham county. He holds a good
position as travelling salesman for the
Fairbanks company. He married the
mother of his present wife when the

when she died, about IA months dater
of consumption, it was her dying re
quest that Christina should live with
Mr.. Murdock's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dexter Murdoch, who then lived in
Boston but afterward moved TO Sa-
dawga. The statement made by some
of the newspapers that Mr.. Murdoch
had married a second time previous
To his present marriage is untrue.
The bride is a general favorite in
Nottingham, especially with the chill

of many friends follow the couple,

Will Join His Regiment.

Capt. ]. {. Macarthur is preparing
to move his family to San Francisco
where he will join his regiment at the
Presidio. 1t was generally supposed
that the captain would remain in
charge Of the military department at
the :. d. A. c. for another year, the
war department having decided that
he could remain should he desire to
do so. The REGISTER is not informed
as to why he desires to make the
change but is sorry to learn that he
has concluded to sever his connection
with the college and remove from the
city. The captain is highly regarded
among the members Of his command
and the "boys" will no doubt be
greatly disappointed because of this
move on his part.

SPLENDID ENCAMPMENT
General Conklin the Youngest Old
Man in the State

Seventy-eight years old and the act
i've heaa~of the National Guard the
year around, Adjutant General Conk-
lin may take to himself the greater
share of the credit for the splendid
encampment Of 1904, admitted by all,
both officers ara men, to be the largest
and best encampment ever held in
South DaL0ta. The last afternoon in
the camp found the general Just as
busy as the first, with two or three
men waiting to speak to him all the
time and with a thousand petty details
waiting for his direction. General
Conklin has been in the camp early
and late and has been intenslv active
throughout it all and for many weeks
previous. His reCompense is found in
the pleasure expressed by all the OtfiC-
ers and men of the effective and con-
venient arrangement of headquarters
and OF the camp grounds, and in the
salts faction OF knowing that what has
been done has been done we'll. The
history of the South Dakota National
Guard can never be written without
incorporating therein a large portion
of the work Of its present adiutant

Brilliant Record of a Newspaper
Man

The success which has attended Will
lam +. Curtis, the famous correspond
ent of the Chicago Record Herald Is
rarely attained by newspaper writers
Beginning his career in Chicago 1872
as reporter, he rapidly rose to theposi-
ton of managing editor. He resigned
that position on receiving a govern
appointment as secretary OF the South
American commission. Mr.. Curtis
travelled extensively in Central and
South America, while in this position,
producing several popular volumes as
the result Of his literary labors. After
ward cooperating with Secretary of
States James CT. Blaine, Mr.. Curtis
organized the work Of the bureau Of
American republics, with the result
that he was placed in charge of that
organization and at the Worlds Column
bian Exposition he distinguis he'd him
self by his labors as the executive
head of the Latin-American depart
ment. As CORES pondent of the Chi
Record Herald, Mr.. Curtis travels
have carried him into every section of
the United States as well az into all
quarters OF the globe His China and
Japan letters We're published in book
form; likewise his letters from Eng
land, Germany and France, as we'll a.
those written during his travels in
Mexico and South America.
No newspaper correspondent pos
sesses the faculty shown by Mr. Curtis
in writing or any Of the diversified
subjects embraced in his correspond
ence and making it luminous. Nor is
any correspondent followed so closely
year after year by the thousands of
readers Of the Chicago Record Herald.
On his recent trip TO the Holy Land
Mr.. Curtis letters have been read more
closely than ever, and his descriptions
of that interesting section Of the globe
as it appears today have been quoted
everywhere.
