Letter of Coincidence.

The undersigned, teacher of the
public school of South Dresden town
ship desires IN the following few words
to record a deep sense of sorrow owing
to the death of one of the pupils, Gladys
S. Cumming. She leaves with her
teacher and fellow pupils the memory of
a faithful and devoted student. Her
untimely death brings a lesson to US all
that soone or latter we to must pass
through the ."Valley of the Shadow of
Death Then let US $3.50 live that when
our summons comes to join the innumer-
able caravan that moves to that myster-
ious realm, where each shall take his
chamber in the silent halls of death, we
go not like the quarry, at night,scourged
to his dungeon, but sustained and
soothed by an unfaltering trust, ap-
proach our own graves, like one who
wraps the drapery of his couch down
to pleasant Dreams" I extend to her
bereaved mother, father and relatives
my heart felt sympathy and would
remind them that her short life has
demonstrated to US anew the value of
human life and character.

A Pretty Home Wedding.

At ten o'clock yesterday morning at
the Ferguson home in this city, Miss
Ella Winnifred Ferguson. eldest daugh-
ter of the late w. A. Ferguson, became
the bride of Mr.. William Elmer Fowler.
1t was a pretty and simple home we'd
ding, the only guests outside of the i'm
mediate relatives being the members of
choir of the First Presbyterian church,
of which Miss Ferguson has been organ
list for several years past.
The home was tastefully decorated
with ferns and white sweet peas, tho
ceremony taking place in the dining
room in a floral bower and beneath a
white horseshoe formed of flowers. The
Rev. F. j. Hubbard officiated. The bride
who was given away by her mother look
ed very attractive in a simple dress of
white chiffon trimmed with chiffon roses
over white messaline. She wore a very
handsome hand embroidered bridal veil
and carried a shower bouquet of white
roses and lilies of the valley Miss Nina
Ferguson. prettily attired in a white
chiffon dress over pale blue, and carry
ing an arm bouquet of pink sweet peas
attended her sister as bridesmaid. Nj.
Albert Thorson acted as the groom's
best man. Miss Edna Chisholm, q
cousin of the bride, presided at the
piano, Before the ceremony the mem-
bers of the choir rendered the bridal
chorus Faithful and True" from Lohen-
grin, and at the close while the con-

smilaxand pansies decorating timetables.
The brides table was specially attractive
with a canoe filed with pansies as a
center piece. The place cards twin pic

unique and lasting souvenirs of the, &C.
casion for the invited guests. The gifts

and beautiful.

mood train for Seattle, where they will
visit a brother and sister of Mr.. Fowler
before going on to Portland, Oregon,

Accommodation for Fair Visitors

One OF the most important matters
taken up at the meeting OF the COM
mercial club Tuesday evening was the
making of arrangements for accom-
mediation OF visitors at the fair during
the coming week. Committees we're
named to solicit rooms and assign them
during the fair. All members of the
club express willingness to open their
homes during fair week and do what
they can to take care of those who
come to the fair.
AS previously stated by the DEMOCRAT
a rest room will be provided for the
ladies, and those having charge will
also provide sleeping apartments for all
who make their wants known or fair
days. 1t is essential application be
made early in the day, so that reserva-
tions can be made with a certainty.
Parties having rooms to rent during
the fair, should notify the Republican,
office at once. stating accurately how
many rooms and how many people can
be accommodated. A list of these rooms
will be kept by the committee, and
parties calling at the rest room on fair
days will be assigned to them. Hotels
also are making special preparation to
care for as many people as possible, and
if those who have rooms are prompt in
notifying the committee, it is believed
that every one can be taken care of.
The commercial club wants to con
tribute its full share to the comfort of
those who visit the fair, and hopes that
all of the citizens of Langdon will CO.
operate with them by giving President
Void and Secretary Burke any sug-
gestions they have to offer along other
lines of accommodation that will con-
tribute to the comfort of our guests on
fair days.

lightning rod was torn away from the
side of the building, From here three

seen, but it is understood that only one
OF these dipped low enough to do any
damage to buildings over which it pas

The lightning forked when it struck the

was torn apart emptying it's contents
over the basement. A fire started but

TAFT And CABINET
DISCUSS CHARGES
Reply Is to Be Made to Allegations
of Bull Moose Leader Con-
cerning Delegates.

President Taft and his Cabinet spent
some time al yesterdays meeting re-
viewing the statement that has been
prepared In answer to the Thou shalt
not steal charges made by Col Roose-
welt and Senator Dixon In connection
with the contest cases that came up In
seating the delegates In the Chicago con-
vention. No decision was reached as 10
Just when or how the statement shall be
laid before the public.
At the meeting OF the subcommittee OF
the Republican National Committee on
July and Il was decided that a reply
should be made to the accusations OF
Col Roosevelt and the leaders OF the
bull moose" party. Some Of the MEN,
ters Of the committee were favorable to
the reply being made at once. while others
urged that ample time should be taken
to carefully sum up and draft the an
swer. 1t was suggested that II oppor-
tunity should offer. the answer might be
made on the floor of Congress. but this
was not regarded as practicable. 1t was
also suggested that Senator Root was
the logical man to repudiats the Roose-
welt charges.
II was finally decided. however. that
members OF the National Committee and
of the contest committee should prepare
data pertaining to the selection and seat
ing Of the delegates for their respective
States, this to be sent to Chairman
Hilles, possibly to be Incorporated into
q document for general distribution.
