Gray became the bride of Nelson
j. Thompson.
Only relatives were present at
the ceremony which was per-
formed by Rev. Hitchcock in the

holds for Miss Gray, and the
expression of it's desire for her
lifelong happiness.

Anniversary
OF A Unique Institution. Stu
dents of the International Cor
respondence Schools to Join
in Big Celebration

It has been nearly fifteen years
since Thomas J. Foster, then
editor of a newspaper in Shenan
doah. Penn. introduced amethod
Of teaching through the mails by
means of special home study
textbooks and system of direc
ton and correction Of students ,
work, the object of which was to
enable the coal miners of Penn
sylvania to pass the required
examination for mine foreman.
Although the enterprise was of
great interest in the mining COM
munities, not even the founder
then dreamed that his plan was
the creation of new educational
system that was to turn the
world into vast class room and
afford the means by which prac
tical, money earning knowledge
in almost every line could be
carried to the thousands that
could not give up work or leave
home to secure educatiOns.
The international Correspond
ence schools now have more than
two hundred courses of instruc-
tion, covering almost every
branch of all the well-known
trades and professions. Up to
the present time, $4,000 students
have either completed the cour-
ses for which they enrolled or
substantial portions thereof;
225, 900 other students have COM
pleted the study of mathematical
physical and drawing subjects.
! The widespread practical re-
suits Of the work of this great
''home- study" university is dem
onstrated by the fact that dur
ing the last twelve months up
ward of 1900 reports of in
creased salery or advancement
in position have been received
from students.
The many thousands that have
been enabled to change to con
genial or more remunerative
occupations, or that have been
otherwise benefited by this
wonderful system of education
. naturally feel deep sense Of
. gratitude to the man whose
genius created and developed the
international Correspondence
Schools and who is still the act
i've head of the work. AS {
fitting tribute, a great celebra
ton has been planned for the
; 10Th of October, 1906, the day
; on which fifteen years ago the
first student was enrolled

Serious Accident

On Saturday last, while return
ing from a drive in the country,
Nessrs. Pat. Sullivan and John
Murray experienced quite a
serious accident which may re-
suit fatally for the latter.
A defective neckyoke allowed
the buggy tongue to drop to the
ground just as they were de-
scending the hill at the Ingison
farm. They succeeded in pass
ing over the bridge with the
horses on a wild run but as they
ascended the hill the pole stuck
into the ground and both men
were thrown out. Mr.. Murray
was the more seriously hurt,
three ribs being broken and
more or less bruised. His con-
dition was so serious last evening
that his friends were very much
alarmed. A special train ar
rived at $50 P. M. from Fargo
bringing Rev. FIR. Lemiaux and
& niece, Mrs. Laura Ruthruff. His
sons, Chas. and VIM. came on
the night train.
At present writing he is rest
ing a little easier.
