Society at the State Capitol.

Governor and Mrs. Sarles are spend
ing few days in the city.
Former Governor Frank White of
Valley City. is in the city on business
connected with the fle insurance COM
pany he is organizing.
The Pasadena (;Jal.) Star says:
"Mrs. NJ T Strauss and daughter Miss
Cora Strauss of Bismarck, N. D., and
Miss Carrie Walter cf Mansfield Ohio,
are located for the winter in Passa-
dena, at As North Lake avenue.
A very pretty home wedding occur
red at o'clock last evening when N.Y.
Ian G. Ward, second son of Oscar
Ward, and Miss Elinor Logan were
made one by Rev. C. w. Harris. While
the attachment of the popular young
people was not secret, the date of the
happy event was carefully guarded,
and was therefore \ surprise to their
many friends today. 1t was a ring
ceremony performed in the presence
of only the relatives of the contracting
parties and very few of their most
intimate friends. After the ceremony
and congratulations. an elegant we'd
ding supper was served, following
which the bride and groom drove to
the Ward farm, which will be their
future home. Both the young people
have lived in Burleigh county all their
lives and both are among the most
popular young people of the city The
general expression today was that it
was an ideal marriage, no couple be-
ing apparently more suited to each
other. There is no question about the
hearty congratulations they will re-
ceive when their fri. nds get a chance
to deliver them.
Word was received in the city Sat-
urday from California stating that DIR.
Bentley of this city, had been married,
but did not name the lady. 1t was re-
ported at the time that the doctor had
married Mrs. w. ] Lewis, also for
merly of this city. and who is now
running a grocery store at Garvanza,
Cal, but her intimate friends here are
positive it cannot be SO, else they
would have been informed. The friend
ship between the doctor and Mrs.
Lewis may be the basis of the report.
DR.. Bentley is one of Bismarck's most
prominent citizens and old timers. For
years he was lesding practitioner
until failing health drove him to CAL
ifornia. That he is married seems be-
yond doubt and whoever the fortu-
nate lady may be the doctors many
both.
A few of the once reigning bellies
and blushing brides of 81 or more
years ago were pleasantly entertained

all partook of an elaborate luncheon.
Those present were Mesdames Ku-
pitt, Freede, Bogu-. Plants, Barnes.
MacNider, Marsh, Pye, WakemaL and
Mclean Mesdames Dunn and Call,

be present The afternoon was an un-
that the stirring times of the early pio-
conversation. Mrs. Marsh had the seat
Of honor at the table. owing to the
fact that she had lived here the long
est. coming in 1872. Mesdames Pye
and MacNider being the next, who
came in 1873, the balance Of the ladies
following year or 30 later Before
taking leave Of the hostess It was de-
cided that q continuation Of these old
time gatherings be had.

With; or. when the suit 10 d check or q
