shower tor . Rrldeoroom.

This affair certainly was something
entirely new to me and think will
be so to most Of the department read
There was to be a wedding and the
bride was a much entertained lady.
One night the men who were to be in
the bridal party said they thought
bridegroom was much neglected in
dividual, etc. The result was his re-
ceiying the following invitation,
copy of which was sent to about twen-
ty of his most intimate friends:
"a shower will be given at the
home Of Mr.. ]. F. Black in honor OF
Mr.. G. G. White on Tuesday night.
Please bring an article suitable for
him In the new life he is about to un-
dertake."
The men entered into the spirit OF
the thing and the result was amusing
In the extreme, so those say who were
fortunate to get detailed descrip-
ton. There was not girl in evi-
dence, though the best mans sister
arranged for the refreshments, tiow-
ers and place cards. Here were some
of the articles contributed. all done
up In tissue paper tied with ribbons:
A box Of collar buttons. razor strop.
silk hose, suspenders, garters, shaving
brush, tack hammer, bath slippers,
cup and saucer. Many of the gifts
were accompanied with rhymes, which
were read aloud as each parcel was
opened.
The ushers and best man planned
the shower, and 1t is said from hence
forth the pre-nuptial entertainments
will not be confined to the bride, at
least in this town, for everyone de-
clared that the bridegrooms OF the fu-
ture would be as much feted as the
brides.
1t is an idea that may be carried
out at stag parties and add lots OF
fun.

1t is evident that the movement -
secure an expression of the voters in
regard to the desirability Of Colonel
Roosevelt's nomination for president is
generally approved by the republican
voters of the state.
The petitions sent to Fargo for filing
with the secretary cf state contained
the names Of 1882 voters, in addition
to the ones which have been mailed
direct to Bismarck. In this connection
il is only fair to state that the first
petitions were mailed out Feb. and
the list was not completed until
Feb. 10 and the first instructions were
that the, petitions must be filed by
Feb. IS. 1t is rare that any petition
was circulated for more than two days
and nearly all of those signing petit
tions stated that at least so per cent
more names could have been secured
had more time been available.
1t has been charged in some quar-
ters that the movement for Colonel
Roosevelt was simply a schenc of the
stalwarts to break UP the insurgent
ranks, but the petitions were sent TO
the precinct committeeman all over
the state without regard to what fac
tion of the party they might be iden-
titled with. This shows it is a repub-
ican move void of pact
Attorney Shure returned from Bis
marck this morning and stated that
up TO noon yesterday the petitions
filed for Roosevelt totaled over 1888
while those for BaFollette only had
z1O- names on them and there were
two petitions on file for Taft. He also
states that at that time there were
only two petitions on file where the
name of Roosevelt had been obliter-
q ted and LaFolIettc substituted. One OF
these was from Napoleon and the
ether from Ookes.
Among the petitions filed is one
recovered from the Great Northern
wreck at Doyon, containing sixty-siX
signatures.

obtained on It as would have been the
