been great army bellies, and it was
there that the popular young cavalry

Meet at the Naval Academy.

AS the Charleston is to take the
place of the Chicago as flagship of this

will spend much of her time in this
vicinity for the next year or two,

former vessel and having just made
the voyage around the Horn from New
York on her. 1t was during a years
stay at Annapolis with Lieutenant and
Mrs. Frederick Horns formerly Miss

her fance met he being at that time
in the Naval Academy. It is said by
those who were there at the time that
Mr.. Goss had one or two rather de-
termined rivals, but was finally the
fortunate man, and the wedding next
week will be happy elimination
Another bride of the near future
who has chosen a navy man is Miss
Mary Mariner the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Mariner, whose
marriage to Lieutenant Wallace Ber-
tholf q. S. N, will take place either
during November or December, the
date being as yet undetermined. To
the regret of her friends here Miss
Mariner and her parents have decided
to make their home in Berkeley since
the fire, and the wedding will of course
take place there. The Mariners have
purchased a beautiful home across the
bay and it is said that Miss Mariners
marriage will take place at home. She
is a pretty, vivacious girl, a great ia
vorite, and there was great question
as to which branch of the service she
would finally decide to join, two army
men having been very devoted to her
the winter before the announcement
of her engagement. The announce
ment came as the greatest OF surprises
to her friends. which goes far toward
disproving the old saying that a
woman cannot keep a secret, for the
engagement had existed for almost a
year at the time 1t was told. Lieu
tenant Bertholf was on sea duty at
the time, however, so they decided to
wait until he was on shore before
celebrating their wedding. Lieutenant
Bertholf is a handsome clever young
man and was among those officers who
won special recognition from the Gov
ernment for their services during the
disaster here last April. He is now sta
toned at Mare Island and they Will

After reading the proceedings OF

WATERTowN 5. d., April A. The
question involving the Validity OF the
election law passed at the last SEES
sion of the South DAKOTA legislature,
known as the caucus law. was heard
before Judge Marquis, Judge OF the
Third judicial circuit, yesterday, and
was decided valid and not conflicting
with the constitution on any of the
points Of contentinn.
Although the law makes no pro-
vision for meeting certain expenses
accruing through furnishing the
printing supplies. payment OF judges

for payment of blanks. etc. while
the judges of elections should he paid
by the cLa!rmen of the central com
mlttee of the respective parties.
The action was brought before the
court by Attorneys llanten and
Loucks on behalf of the Democratic
state central committee, John r. 3.
Hanten being secretary of the said
committee
. The plea was tor an order restrain
ing the county auditor to take any
steps in ordering supplies or TO assist
IN any manner IN carrying out the
provisions Of the state caucus law on
the grounds of the law being uncon-
stitltiopal and therefore null and
void.

battle was States Attorney III g..
