LANGDoN GIRL wfDs.
Another Popular Lanedon Young Couple Were
Married This Mornino.

| AT seven o'clock this morning the
home of Mrs. Agnes Mcmillan on Spruce
street was the scene of quite but very
pretty wedding, when Miss Francis
Annie Gordon, who for three years past
has obligingly served the public as
Langdon's telephone girl, and Mr. Charles
Henry Stewart were married. The
happy ceremony being solomnized by
Rev. F. j, Hibbard, pastor of the Presby-
terlan church, only a few immediate
friends being present. The bride was
becomingly gowned in beautiful dress
of fine white linen lawn, trimmed with
Swiss embroidery and carried a bouquet
OF white brides roses. The ceremony
was performed in the parlor with bank
OF towering fuchsias forming an attrac-
tive back grown to the bridal party.
Mrs. McMlllans famous fuchsia, loaded
with blossoms forming the center work
OF the floral decorations. A prettily
appointed wedding breakfast followed
IN the dining room which had been
ornamented for the occasion with
Virginia creeper. The happy couple
leftabout half.past eight in an automobile
for Manitou, Man, at which point they
take the train for Winnipeg and Portage
la Prairie where they will spend brief
honeymoon, returning to make this city
their home. The bride wore a smart
travelling suit of pearl grey voile over
taffata, grey felt hat trimmed with
mouline and white dove completing
the costume. For upwards of ten years
the home of the bride has been in Lang
don with her aunt, Mrs. Mcmillan, and
her sweet and thoroughly handsome
manners have won for her host of
friends. During the last three years
she has been enabled to more thorough
ly extend her acquaintanceship with the
people here while holding the position of
head operator with the telephone ex-
change. Perhaps her general popularity
is best shown by the shower of hand
some presents including furniture, table
linen, silverware. cut glass, hand painted
CHINA, etc. The groom, Mr.. Stewart,
came here about two years ago a grad
uate of the Toronto School of Pharmacy
his home being in Hamilton, Ont. For
some time he held position with the
Langdon Pharmacy, but has had charge
of the prescription department of the
firm of Abbott & Co., since they started
up in business. When they return from
their wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. Stewart
will be at home at the Mcmillan residence
and as they are both we'll aud favorably
known among Langdon young people a
cordial welcome and congratulations
await them.

LANGDON MEN AT EDMONTON.
The Enmonten Bulletin Interviews Banker W.
J. Mooney and M. J. O'MaIley

w. ]. Mooney and M. j. O'Malley, of
Langdon N. D., were visitors in Edmon-
ton yesterday. The former is the owner
of the W. j. Mooney State Bank in
Langdon, and president of both the
Citizens State Bank in Sarles, N. D.,
and the Citizens State Bank in Wales,
N. D. Mr.. O'Malley is president of the
Langdon Lumber Co. Both gentlemen
were here to see the city. And what
they saw impressed them so fayorably
that Mr.. Mooney purposes returning
next month at the head of party of
eastern men, representing Vermont Saw
ings banks, which have money to invest.
II believe" said Mr.. Mooney, in an
interview with Bulletin representative,
''that these men will invest in Edmon-
ton loans. The institutions with which
I am connected have over 81, 100000 out
in loans. In Edmonton have received
creditable assurances that the loans will
bring ten per cent. on gilt-edged securi-
ties. Edmonton is sufficiently distant
from Winnipeg to be entirely free from
the possibility of being overshadowed
by the Importance of the western metrop-
oils. To this country Edmonton is as
Minneapolis and st. Paul are to our city.

witnessed the foundation, and watched
the development, of many new towns,
but the progress of Edmonton surpasses

on real estate in this city too high?"
"Decidedly not. think inside city

of Mount Lawn, subdivision which was
recently sold to two North Dakota men, .
and am pleased with my purchase. I
think could not have secured better
investment in suburban property
MIR. Mooney recently returned from a
trip to Egypt and the Holy Land. He
says that Cairo is experiencing marvel
Gus boom as result of the construction
of the Assouan dam on the Nile Farm
property in the vicinity of Cairo, which
sold for SIS per acre before this dam was
built and an irrigation system made
possible, is now selling for 1880 per acre
Many English people are going into
Egypt. 1.-THE fact is" said Mr.. Mooney,
ssthe whole world is booming despite the
financial stringency. Even historic
Jerusalem is in the throes of real es-
tate boom. Property outside the city
walls is selling now for twenty times as
much as ten years ago" Speaking Of
the crop in North Dakota, Mr.. Mooney
stated that barley was now being cut,
and that the harvesting Of wheat would
commence next week. There was a
great dearth Of farm laborers, the con-
ditions being similar in that respect to
that which prevailed in the Canadian
West. Edmonton Balletin. g

Pioneer CuItivator Plans to Have
Fifty Acres in Future.
George H. Reynolds is the happy
possessor of several gallons of pure
peppermint oil, distilled from plants
cultivated on his farm near Rice Lake
FOR that purpose. This is probably the
first peppermint ever grown in WIS
consin for commercial purposes, an0
was planted last spring as an expert
nent on practically useless land 1t
is a part of drainage district and is
low-lying marsh land, near the lake,
covering a space of perhaps fifty
acres. Runners were obtained from
similar farms in Indiana, with few
from the agricultural department, and
about five-sixths of an acre was put
under cultivation The first crop, nee
essarily light, has just been reaped
and distilled and the oil will bring
nearly 500 to the pioneer cultivator.
He intends to increase his cultivated
area from year to year until the tract
of fifty acres is all in use. The
plant needs renewal only every seven
years, but after the fifth year the crop
lessons, so it will be necessary TO cul-
tivate carefully to reap the maximum
return-W.

James LLOYD Jones. regent to the
University Of Wisconsin for the Third

Green, Iowa county, after a short ill.,
ness, following an accident recently.
On Oct. 16 a traction engine broke
through a culvert near Mr. Jones'

killing two men. In going to their
assistance Mr.. Jones fell and broke
a leg below the knee. Next day uranic

death
Mr.. Jones, who is a brother of Jen-
kyn Lloyd Jones of Chicago, succeed
ed Dwight T. Parker as regent of the
university a year ago, filling the I'M
expired term. In speaking of him
President Van Hise said:
Mr. Jones was a conscientious re-
gent, who always attended the meet
ings of the board and it's committees.
He gave his best. thought to the devel-
opment of the university While espe-
cially interested in the development
of the college of agriculture, his
breadth of view was such that he also
favored always the advancement of
the university as a whole"

In and About the State
LID is PUT ON TIGHTER.
Authorities at Superior Stop Sale Of
Drinks on Sunday.

hsTUiHS OH
Superior's Sunday lid on the liquor
dispensaries has now been extended
to cover every place in the city where
it has been the custom to dispense
beer or other drinks on the Sabbath
day While the lid has been on for
over a year now, it is only within the
last few days that orders were given
for the keepers of resorts in the Ten
derloin district to stop selling to their
customers on Sunday. Last Sunday
was the first day that the order has
been in effect, and it was followed out
to the letter, it is claimed.
The restaurant keepers have finally
got the lid on as tight as the saloon
men. For good share of the time the
lid has been on they have been the
most frequent filters of it, but it is
impossible now to get them to serve
liquor to even the best daily custom
ers of the eating houses.
No lid violations have been report
ed for long time, and it is expected
that it will be a hard proposition to
ever get to selling liquor in Superior
on Sunday again. This is new con-
dition of affairs, as up to a year ago
last summer the city was wide open,
and some saloonkeepers never even
knew what it was to have key to
their places, many of them even keep
ing open on election days. The spring
camnaiou will he fought ont largely on
the lid question.-W.

FIVE INJURED BY EXPLOSION
MYSTERIOUS BLAST IN MINNIE.
APOLIS CHARCOAL PLANT
MAN MISSING.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 80. - One man
NAV be dead, five men were injured
and about $4,000 worth of property
was destroyed as the result OF ter
rife explosion, followed by fire, in the
plant of the Twin City Charcoal com
PAW early yesterday afternoon.
Ed Walton, carpenter is missing
and it is possible that he lost his life
in the building. The injured are:
Henry Carpenter and Harvey Squlres,
employees of the Twin City Charcoal
company, and Capt. Price, P1peman
Michael Carroll and Capt. Barrett OF
the fire department. None OF the men
is fatally injured.
The cause of the explosion has not
been learned.
Carpenter and Squires were work
ing on the ground floor of the building
when they heard the report of a slight
explosion. Fearing another and more
dangerous explosion, they dropped
their implements and ran for their
lives. They were within twenty feet
of the door when the second explosion
came.
The men were hurled bodily through
the side of the building. The roof
was lifted five or ten feet, only to fall
back into the wrecked building. Then
fire burst forth, and in few seconds
the structure was a mass of flames.
It became rumored that two men
were in the building and were being
burned alive. This report only added
to the zeal of the fire fighters. Chief
Canterbury and his men fought des'
perately to eXtinguish the blaze. AS
a result Of these efforts three firemen
who were among the leaders in the
fight went down with a ladder into
the debris and wreckage. They were
severely though not dangerously hurt
Finally, after two hours work, the
flames were extinguished and a search
was made in the ruins for the bodies
of the men supposed to have been in
the building Every corner was
searched, but no bodies were found.

STATE TO PULL STUMPS.
Plan to Lend Money to Those Who
Locate on Cut-over Lands.

Plan to Lend Money to Those Who
Locate on Cut-over Lands.
A, plan proposed for the develop
ment of Northern Wisconsin lands,
which will be pressed upon the atten-
ton of the next legislature, is for
state aid under the plan used by a
number of Western states by which
arid lands are opened to cultivation.
The plan is that the state set aside
a fund to lend to farmers settling
upon the cut-over lands, the amount
OF the loan being based upon the val
ue of the land, the state taking a mort
gage at the rate of per cent and
running for twenty years.
Those who advocate this scheme for
Wisconsin say that the farmers COM
ing upon the cut-over lands are con-
fronted with the problem of removing
stumps and getting the land in shape,
which ranges from SIS to $50 per
acre. The scheme, they say, would
give the poor man a show and would
deliver him from the land sharks, be-
sides the state would realize 4 per
cent upon the investment.

start, saving nearly every cent he
earned.
Later he came to Jamestown and

Dean E. A. Birge emphasized the i'm

1T is not enough to do merely the
required work." he said, but the
things that count are the things one
does because he likes them. Active
work in literary or debating socio-
ty, or even a certain amount Of out
side reading in addition to that re-
ouired, will prove of more value than
taking an extra course of study to ill

TO HAVE WEATHER BUREAU.
Alumni Association Makes Valuable
Gife to New University.

Through the generosity of the Mar
quette Alumni association, weather
| bureau whose reports may rival in &C.
curacy those of the weather service
conducted under the auspices of Uncle
Sam in the federal building, is to be
established at Marquette university
under charge of one of the best
known astronomers and weather OBJ
servers of the day, Rev. James Nc
Geary, S. J.
Father McGeary came to Marquette
university this fall from Manila, P. l.,
to take the chair of physics and as
tronomy. In Manila he was assistant
to Rev. Father Algue. S. j.. head of
the observatory in the Jesuit univer-
sity there, and famous for the accura-
cy of his predictions of coming cy-
clones and severe storms, by means
of which life and property have been
saved to shippers. In fact the Unit
States government accepts the reports
on these matters from the Jesuit uni
versity rather than from the Japa-
nese observatOries or from it's own.
The Marquette Alumni association
has pledged itself to raise $1,000 for
the complete equipment of the ohser-
vatory. The cupola on the university
building is now provided with fine
six-inch Clarke telescope and with a
revolving tower The money to be
raised by the alumni will provide a
solid pier for the telescope, a clock
motion and circles by means of which
it will move automatically an astrO-
nomical clock for sidereal time and a
transit instrument for the Observa-
ton of the transit of stars across the
meridian.
For the weather bureau will be pro
vided all the delicate and exact in
struments needed in taking Observa-
Istions = thermometers, barometers, by
drometers and maximum and mini
mum thermometers.
An ideal place for weather obserVa-
ton is already provided in the fiat
surface of the rOoof adjoining the Gu
pola.
The alumni association will raise
the money by means of voluntary con-
tributiOns among its own member
