in St. Paul

On Monday, Jan. 9Th, at five
o'clock in the afternoon, Rev.
Father Finley, of the St. Paul
Cathedral, solemnized the mar
riage of Miss Doretta M. Hanne-
gan. daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. w. Hannegan, Of Glenwood,
Wis, and Mr.. w. Byrle Chap
pell, of Wibaux, Montana.
Those present were Mrs. D. F..
O'Conneli, sister oA. tie bride;
Mr.. D. F. O'Connell and Miss
Jane O'Connell, all of Hudson,
Wis.,; and Mr.. Rex Chappell, Of
Wibaux, Montuna, brother of
the groom.
After the ceremony the we'd
ding party partook of a ten
course dinner at Carling's, where
the table was beautifully decor
ated with brides roses, and Ill
lies of the valley to suit the oc-
casion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chappell, after a
sojourn of a couple of weeks in
the Twin Cities, will leave for
different points in South Dakota,
and from there will return to
Glendive, where they will make
their future home.
Mr.. Chappell was raised from
childhood at Wibaux, where his
parents still reside, and has
wide acquaintance here, with
whom he is recognized as a mod
ell young man with a promising
future, the latter assertions be-
ing substantiated by the fact
that for the past two years he
has efficiently served as assistant
cashier of the Exchange Bank
Of Glendive. The bride is one
of Glendive's most popular young
ladies, who through occasional
visits to this city has also gained
many friends here.
The Pioneer joins with the
many friends of the happy young
couple in extending congratula-
tions and best wishes.

For a number of years past
Christian Hansen, the famous
scandinavian Violin Virtuoso, has
been appearing before crowded
houses, pleasing the people with
his zone man, one instruments
concert. This season he will be
assisted by one of the very best
lady entertainers in the Lyceum
field and will greet his old friends in
many return dates with an ntire
new program. Mr.. Hansen has
been playing the violin since early
childhood, beginning at The age of
seven. His old Scandinavian
schoolmaster was his first instruct
or. Young Hansen made such
headway with the "king of all in
struments' that his parents placed
him under the tutorship of a num-
ber of the famous Scandinavian in.
structors. He spent four years in
Germany studying with the best
masters in the old country, and
later came TO America wearing the
mantle Of that famous Wizard of
the Bow, Ole Bull. Christian
Hansen has fairly won the title of
the Modern Ole Bull.
Mr.. Hansen will be assisted this
season by Miss Ethel Belle Haynes,
Piano Accompanist, Reader and
lmpersonator. Miss Haynes is
versatile and clever artist. In adj
dilion to the talent displayed as a
pianist, she is a reader of more
more than ordinary ability. The
stories she reads bring to her hear
ers alternate smiles and tears and
are full Of the breezes of youth and
merriment. Davis opera house,

THE PASTOR SPRINTED.
He Made Good Run In Record Time
With Plenty of Reason.

He Made q Good Run In Record Time
With Plenty of Reason.
One of the traditional stories of the
town of Fairfield, Conn, recounts a
wild dash from the pulpit made by
a worthy and beloved pastor of the
Episcopal flock, DR.. Labaree.
1t was on Sunday more than a hun
dred years ago. The service had been
read, the prayers said. the hymns sung,
and the parsOn began his sermon. AS
he proceeded his gestures became very
energetic. He brought his right hand
down with great force. Then he turned
pale. cleared the pulpit stairs at a
bound. dashed out of the church door
and ran toward the pond a short dis
lance away.
The congregation followed in bewil-
dered pursuit and saw their venerable
pastor with flying robe rush into the
water until 1t came to his neck. Then,
turning round. he faced his astOnished
audience and said:
Dearly beloved brethren. / am not
crazy. as no doubt many of you think.
but yesterday at the drag store bought
a bottle of nitric acid and car-lessly
left it in my pocket today.
My last gesture broke the bottle. /
knew the suffering the acid would cause
when it penetrated my clothing and
rushed fo= the water to save myself
pain"
He drew several pieces Of glass from
his pocket in witness of the tale. Then
he dismissed the company ana hCT-=s
home.

10 take with him in fast company.

because love him very dearly and

What shall / do? MAUDE.
Dear girl, there is only one thing TO
do, and that is 10 learn TO unlove this
man. If he truly loved You, he would
respect your sweetness and purity too
much to risk shutting it in bad com
pany. You can afford TO hurt the feel
