Cupid occasionally has a strenuous
time and one day last week was one OF
the times and Dickinson was the place
or one of the places. Early in the
morning-too early for business in fact
the gentleman in the case appeared
at the court house to arrange for a Ii
cense. He was told to call later when
the offices were open. This he did only
to find nothing doing in the license
line unless it were hunting licenses. 1t
is Judge Carter's custom when away
from his office to leave marriage licen-
SEES signed in blank and arrange fOr
some one to fill them out as requested.
But this time Mr.. Carter had neglected
to sign up and no license was forthcom-
ing. The prospective bridegroom was
in dire straits. His bride-to-be was
due from the east on the afternoon
train and insisted on having the we'd
ding ceremony performed on Wednesday
III not that Wednesday then the next.
The gentleman eve suggested to the
clergyman that the wedding might be
performed that day and a license be Sc
cured on the morrow. But no. The
only way open was to hire an auto and
90 to Manning, in Dunn county. for the
license, or else 60 on with the lady tt
Medora. He chose the latter alterna'
tive and returned TO Dickinson On No.
with the treasured, but in his cast
rather expensive, document, safe in hi,
pocket. And Cupid o out and the,
were married Wednesday though
marriage licenses were not being issuet
in Dickinson that day.

Wilson Refuses TO Talk.

In Trenton, Governor Wilson refused
10 discuss the announcement He would
not see newspaper men, but the state
ment Of "Harpcr's Weekly" was com
municated 20 him through his secretary.
Through him the Governor replied that
no would not comment on the editorial
either at that or any other time.
When the first story in regard to the
disappearance OF his name from the
pages OF .Harper's Weekly" was printed
on January 3. Governor Wilson said:
my attention has. Of course been
drawn 10 the fact that the last two
numbers OF 'Harpers Weekly have
made no mention Of my name. hut this
is certainly not due 10 any breach OF
any kind between Colonel Harvey and
myself. Colonel Harvey runs the
Weekly entirely on his own judgment"
II now appears that Colonel Harvey
was not permitted to run the weekly
without the aid OF Governor Wilson's
judgment.
william f. MCCOmbs. the Princeton
graduate and lawyer who is acting as
the campaign manager Of Governor VIII
son. at his home. No. a West Hth
street, was asked about the announce
ment OF Colonel Harvey In "Harper's.'
He was equally reticent II was evi-
dent that he was aware that the an
nouncement was TO be made. for he
asked II it had been released for pub
lication. and then expressed "A desire
to hear just what was said After 1t

Personal Matter, Says McCombs.

Mr.. McCombs said he had heard ru-
nouncement Of the character was to be
published He said he considered 1t n
personal matter between Governor VIII
son and Colonel Harvey and nothing re-
auirlng any statement from him.
But Il has not been understood that
there was any personal quarrel between
the Governor and Colonel Harvey" Mr..
McCombs.
That IL true" said he. There has
been no personal quarrel between the
two men"
There were some particular sections OF
the country where the fact that Colonel
Harvey was advocating the nomination
OF Governor Wilson was taken as mean
ing that he was the candidate OF the
Interests" or Big Business" Many let
ters were received at the Wilson head
quarters in this city indicating that this
impression was hurting the Wilson boom.
II is believed that then Governor Wilson
communicated with Colonel Harvey and
suggested that "Harper's Weekly" aban-
don its open advocacy of his nomination.
Whatever may have been the genesis
OF the candidacy OF Governor Wilson for
the Presidential nomination, it is true
that he listened to radical advisers In
the speeches made on his Western trip
he went so far in advocacy of radical
,deas as 10 cause some of his Eastern
supporters to waver in their allegiance.
There was much speculation last night
in regard to the statement of 'Harper's
weekly" that the only course left open
to Il "in consideration Of our own self
resnect." was TO cease to advocate Gov
ernor wilson's nomination as to whether
its support would now be diverted to
some other candidate.
