WILLiAMS-PRESCoTT

From the Winona Independent We
get the following account of the mar
riage of Harry G.. Williams and Miss
Isadore Prescott, which occurred at
the home of the brides mother in
that city on Thursday afternoon:
Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
at the home of the brides mother,
Mrs. Grandville S. Prescott, $50 West
Belleview street, occurred the mar
riage of Miss Isadore Margaret Pres
colt to Harry Grant Williams, of
Brookings, S. d. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Edward Born
camp, of st. Paul's Episcopal church,
the pretty Episcopal service being
used. Relatives and intimate friends
witnessed the ceremony. The couple
was unattended.
Immediately after the ceremony a
wedding dinner was served and Mr..
and Mrs. Williams left on an evening

will spend about two weeks before
going to their future home in Brook
ings.
The bride has a wide circle of
friends in this city. For the past
year she was engaged al a teacher
in the jefferson school of this city.
In 1909 she taught in the schools at
Brookings where she met Mr.. viii
liams. The groom is a prominent
real estate and land man Of Brook
ings.
Among those who attended the wed.
ding were: Mr.. and Mrs. Z. H. Will
liams, Brookings, S. D., c. W. Kinder
knecht and Miss Selma Rinderknecht,
St. Charles; Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Prescott,
of this city; Miss Bessie Taylor and
Mrs. B. Taylor of Sleepy Eye and

DRIVER TO BLAME.

Mrs. A. A. Poole, who was in the
buggy which was struck by the Hall
auto last week, takes exception to one
statement in our write-up of that affair.
She says that there is not a bit Of
doubt but that the blame for the ac-
cident was due to the carelessness
of the driver of the machine. She was
coming down town on the extreme
right side of the street, having turned
out in that direction when she saw
the auto coming a block away. When
the machine was nearly opposite her
she says that it veered suddenly to
the left and crossed the road and
crashed into her horse. She screamed
when she saw the auto coming, but
the driver apparently did not hear or
see her and she was unable to get
out of the way.

in the dim and ~far-reaches of eternity
before will vote to place this insult
upon them. You may cruelty the
people of Arizona upon a cross of
c~owardice, but thank God you a
not pluck from out Of their breasts
the spirit Of progress that has placed
in the constitution which they adopted
the institutions of a popular govern
ment." The question was upon the
passing OF a resolution which would
be satisfactory to the President. Mr..
Anderson was one of the gentlemen
who believe that Congress should in
sist upon maintaining its previous
position of the recall Notwithstanding
the dictation Of the President. How
ever, he was in the hopeless minority,
and the bill was finally passed almost
unanimously.
In the Lower House both members
from South Dakota were on hand to
help uphold the position OF President
Taft of the Republican administration
during the period that tests of power
were exercised in the closing hours
of Congress, growing out of the veto
measures coming from the White
House. Mr.. Burke's position on the
Investigating Committee OF Expendi-
lures in the Interior Department Is
one entailing a large burden Of work
and quite likely a great deal of his
time during the recess of Congress
will be taken up in matters of this
kind. Both he and Mr.. Martin have
left for South Dakota.

We BREATHE A
LITTLE EASIER
SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS
ADJOURNS UNTIL THE CON-
ING DECEMBER
PRESIDENT TAFT HAS HIS OWN WAY
Chief Executive Secures All He Wants
and vetoes What Legislation He
Deems inadvisahIe

The Registers special correspon-
dence from Washington says:
A few good hard hits from the
shoulder were administered by Mr..
ton of the cotton schedule in the
House. He showed wherein the
original bill had returned from the
Senate, embracing steel, iron and
coal, and then he went on to show
that under the drastic rule adopted
by the majority of the House, there
was no opportunity left to perfect or
modify the measur by amendment.
Mr.. Kendall proceeded with his re-
marks to say The performance of
the Democratic Party this afternoon
on the floor Of this House is the most
lamentable exhibition which the
American people have witnessed in
many years of that pertidy which
sometimes m~anifests itself in poll
tics. We have had all Over this coun-
try a clamor which has prevailed for
nearly a decade against gag rule"
in the House of Representatives, and
our friends have made that clamor
ii in my own contest, and others have
met it; and there are thirty gentlemen
on that side, occupying seats now,
who owe their positions here to the
fact that they opposed the very prin-
ciple which they have established this
afternoon. Now, Mr.. Speaker, I have
experienced no embarrassment what
ever as | have approached the per-
Torrance of my duty respecting the
various bills which have been report
ed by the Democratic majority in
revision OF the existing tariff SEIZED
ules. | voted against the enactment
of the Payne law in the SiXty-first
Congress because | believed, from
such fragmentary information as |
collected that the rates it proposed
were exceedingly high; and | have
voted against the Underwood bills in
this Congress because | have be-
lieved, from such fragmentary infor-
NATION as | could collect, that the
rates they proposed We're destructive
ly low"
Representative Anderson of Mime
sofa, made a speech upon the passage
of the final resolution in admitting
Arizona and New Mexico into the
Union, in which he said: "A few
days ago, by an overwhelming ma
jority, both Houses of Congress voted
to the people of Arizona, not the
right to place in their constitution
the recall of judges, for that propO-
sition was not involved in that reso-
luton, but TO give to the people of
that Territory the right to vote like
free men. Now, We propose to take
away that right, and | suppose we
will justify it upon some theory of
mental gymnastics. So far as | am
concerned the crags and peaks and
desert wastes of Arizona will fade

FAREWELL FOR MRS. LAWSHE.

The Degree of Honor lodge assisted
by the Workmen and a large number
of friends gave a farewell reception
for Mrs. Anna Lawshe at the Fratern-
ity hall last Friday evening. Speeches
were made by a number and a general
good time was enjoyed, although it
was marred by the though that they
were soon to lose such a good friend
and neighbor. Mrs. Lawshe was the
first presiding officer Of the Degree
of Honor lodge in this city and has
always taken a prominent part In the
affairs of the order, and she will be
missed there as we'll as in other cir
Giles of the city. Before departing for
their homes the members presented
Mrs. Lawshe with a solid silver cary
ing set. as a testimonial OF their es
! TEEN and affection.

RUNAWAY.

A big team belonging to William
Wheeler, a farmer living north Of
town, INDUCED in a lively little run
away early yesterday morning. They
were standing in front of ]. w. War
ren's machine shop and ran around
the Register corner and crashed into
a big tree, opposite this office, which
stopped further progress. The wagon
plow was hitched on behind and this
load did not allow the team to exceed
the speed limit. Neither of the horses
were injured and the only damage
a a broken neck yoke and double
trees and a torn harness.

GERMAN DAY At
THE STATE FAIR
TEUTONS WILL ENJOY A DAY TO
THEMSELVES ON WEDNESDAY
SEPTEMBER 10.
CURT|SS FLYERS WILL Be THERE
Big Aviation Meet Will Be One of the
Features OF Fair-Three South
Dakotans to Fly.

The combined agricultural exhibits
at the state fair as space is reserved
for, comprise those of sixteen coun-
ties, the Chicago & Northwestern al
falfa exhibit from the Black Hills
section, the Great Northern r. R..
Company's exhibit, and the agronomy
and botanical exhibit from the South
Dakota Experiment Station at Brook
ings. Never before in the history Of
the South Dakota State Fair has
there been such an exhibit of the
products of this state as there will
be this year. The success Of the
fair, now only a few days distant,
is assured, and it will be of a magni-
tude and character that will please
all.
Every other person at the State
Fair on Wednesday, September 18th,
will be a German. That day has been
set aside as German Day at the State
Fair, and it goes without saying that
the Teutons will flock in on that day
to meet and hear the leading Germans
of the northwest.
On this day, as well as others, spe-
cial trains will run from all parts
Of the state, and arrangements are
being made to accommodate the huge
crowds which are bound to be in at
tendance. A letter from Aberdeen
says that the whole Hub City will be
dumped onto the streets OF Huron
on Wednesday, along with the South
Dakota State Band.
Speakers of National repute among
the Germans will give actresses and
numerous opportunities will be given
for reunion Of all Germans who are
interested in boosting the German
American Alliance, which will meet
the following week in Aberdeen.
BY the way, have you been keeping
track of the wonderful feats which
have been performed by the Curtiss
flyers during the recent aviation meet
in Chicago? If so you are aware Of
the extraordinary attraction to be
offered this year at the state fair,
when the Curtiss aeroplane will make
daily flights from the aviation field in
front of the huge grand stands. These
flights will consist Of racing an auto,
flying for heighth, for speed, etc. The
aviator will oar high in the air in
circles, and with a hair raising swoOp
VIII descend to the starting point.
Edison, the great inventor, said that
in twenty years aerial navigation will,
be firmly established and on a p~ac-
teal working basis. Here is a real
opportunity to see future locomotion
in the making. Our grandfathers
witnessed the origin and early growth
of steam power; it is o our pri-
vilege to see the beginning and evo-
luton Of air craft.
Secretary McIlvaine has invited NJ.
r. Baskerville, of WATERFOWL, Tom
Sweeney, of Rapid City, and w. NJ.
Owsley, of Aberdeen, to fly with the
Curtiss aviator during state fair week.
All of these gentlemen have accepted
and will be on hand, glad of an op-
%portunity to try the new method Of
locomotion.
