find empires as illustrious and we'll

objections were made by the sup
porters of Lord North's government
regarding the American colonies -
that IF left to their own direction
they would speedily fall into mutual
strife, anarchy and ruin" In like

that she could not csrry on gov

At the time England first entered In

old Mogul Empire was breaking up.

tunity. But this was a temporary
condition and would have passed as

of Indian wars worse than the Wars

the Thirty Years War in Germany,
and none that compare at all IN loss

neither does Indian history show anyt

MARRIAGES
CRESWELL-PETERSON

CRESWELL-PETERS
A very pretty wedding occurred
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Otto h.
Peterson, Wednesday, June %, 1909,
when their daughter, Sadie Mildred,
became the wife of Mr.. Smiley B.
Creswell of Dickinson, N. D.
The ceremony was performed on
the large veranda beautifully decor
ated for the occasion. About 100
guests were seated on the lawn
awaiting the strains of the wedding
march. The bridal party appeared
just at twelve.
Mr.. A. Torelle acted as best man
and Gladys Peterson was maid of
honor. Four young girls acted as
bridesmaids and carried garlands
of green, the little flower girls,
Vera Griffen and Ethel Thomas
strewing the path with roses.
The bride was beautifully dressed
in white and carried brides roses,
while the maid of honor wore blue,
and carried pink roses.
A bountiful dinner was served
under the trees. The presents were
many and valuable.
Mrs. Creswell is a popular young
lady and will be missed from our
midst. For the past few years she
has taught with success in Dickin-
son.
The groom, although a stranger to
most of us, won the confidence and
good will of all by his quiet, manly
ways, and we feel him worthy of
the young lady he has taken from
our midst.
At five o'clock, after still more
good things to eat, the young couple,
amidst showers of rice and old shoes
drove to Hudson, from there to con-
tinue their wedding trip to Seattle,
Wash.
Mr.. and Mrs. Creswell will make
their home at Dickinson, N. D.,
where Mr.. Creswell owns extensive
ranches.
The best wishes of their many
friends at River Falls go with them
to their new home.

The Oldest Elephant
in Captivity

If the theory were fact that an
elephant can remember things al
ways, Princess, one of the newly
acquired elephants of the Greater
Norris and Rowe circus, museum,
menagerie, hippodrome and con-
gress of nations, could tell re-
markable history, were it possible
for her to talk. That elephants
have an extraordinary memory, is
undoubtedly true, but too much
credence cannot be put into the
statement. Princess, is without a
question of doubt, the oldest ele-
plant in this country, or in captivi :
ty, for that matter. That she was
a fully matured beast when George
Washington was a boy, can be
proven by the records of sale and
transfers of the huge specimen of
the genius pachyderm. Princess
ambles along gingerly, and
seems to take as much interest in
peanuts, popcorn and dainty con-
fections that the generous public
thrust upon her as any member OF
the big herd of elephants with the
circus. That she knows nothing
about dyspepsia or Indigestion is
evident when she can easily devour
all the sweetmeats that are present
ed to her, and then calmly enter
upon the task of devouring a half
ton of hay each day. The old ele-
plant looks as though she were
good for at least one hundred years
to come, for aside from the fact that
she is a little more wrinkled, and
her skin little more thickly placed
about the back, she does not look
much older than some of the other
elephants with the big circus whose
age will not exceed sixty or seventy
years. Princess attracted consider
able attention from the public dur
ing the run of the Greater Norris
and Rowe circus in San Francisco
this spring. Of the 279,873 persons
who paid admission to The big cir
Gus during its thirty days engage
ment it is safe to say, that everyone
of them either fed Princess a pea
nut, or placed their hands upon her
for good luck. Princess will not
be seen in the big street parade
but the other children-the young
elephants which number fourteen
will have to show themselves in the
new big street demonstration which
will take place at 10 O'Clock. By
special arrangement, the Greater
Norris and Rowe show will be the
only big circus to visit this section
of the country this year. Rivel

Pres. H. l. wilson

1t is President Wilson now. OF
course, no one really doubted but
that it would be, after the commit
tee had agreed unanimously to rec
ommend him. Nevertheless, it is a
matter for congratulation that the
board of regents, at it's annual meet
ing in Madison, Tuesday, unani-
mously ratified the recommendation
of the committee by electing Mr..
Wilson to the presidency, and then
did the handsome thing when they
placed his salary at $4,000 per an
mum. The whole community joins
in congratulations to the new Presi-
dent, and in best wishes for pros
porous career at the head of a
strong and growing institution.

Saturday night the local passenger
depot was again raided by thieves.
Entrance was gained to the office
room through the transom, and sew

will deal severely with the vandals
when unprecedented.

will be charged the same admission
fee as the men-25 cents each. The
gate receipts at the ball grounds
are the only means the Association
has of defraying the expense of the
