contained the following story:
y romance which has taken many
years to mature will end this morning
at nine o'clock in the marriage of al
fred Blaisdell, secretary of state of
North Dakota, and Grace p. Emmons,
bf boyhood sweetheart. The cere
lfony will take place in the West no

Morrill, will otficiate. Already one of
the rooms has been appropriately dec
torated with roses and fernes and all
|fhe necessary accessories.
Miss Emmons is the daughter of G.
III. Emmons of Emmons, MINI. Mr..
Blaisdell was born at Fairmont, only
Il short distance from Emmons. The
two attended the same school and an
attachment sprang up between them
some years ago when both were mere
children. The attachment proved not
to be of the evanescent kind. The
two parted, but it was to meet again
When the meeting took place, years
afterwards, Mr.. Blaisdell was secre-
tary of great commonwealth, while
Miss Emmons was a professional mu-
stefan. The young man heard the
classic strains of a Strauss waltz one
evening as he was passing the opera
house at Minot, n. D., his present
home. He entered and was entranced
by the music.
He sought an introduction to the
artist, who with her magic touch,
brough out the very life and soul of
the composer. He was charmed to-
find that she was the girl who had
captured his early fancy. The renewed
friendship ripened into love, with the
result that a short and ardent court
ship will end in matrimony this morn
ing.
The bride and her father arrived in
Minneapolis last evening and met the
happy bridegroom at the West hotel
The necessary arrangements were made
at once. The wedding was to have
taken place last night, but the best
man and maid of honor were unable
to attend until today.
