GUST MARRIED in
The OLD COUNTRY
SUBSTANTIAL FARMER OF COOP
ERsToWN CROSSED WATER TO
NORWAY TO SECURE A HELP
MEET AND THEY RETURNED TO
NORTH DAKOTA YESTERDAY.

MI. and Mrs. Ole Gust of Coopers-
town, N. D., were registered at the
Prescott hotel yesterday afternoon and
over night and left for their home this
morning, where the husband owns a
fine farm.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Dust left his
home to cross the water for the pur-
pose of getting married and the we'd
ding was contaminated about four
| weeks ago at Tronhjem in Norway
and from there they went to Christi
ania, travelling by boat from the home
of Mrs. Gust to the national capital.
They then sailed from Christlania
three weeks ago, and arrived in Fargo
| yesterday.
Mr.. Gust is a native of Norway, BUT
has been one of the active farmers in
this state for the past thirty years and
has a large acquaintance in this sec
ton, for he has frequently visited in
Fargo. Mrs. 1Oust cannot speak the
English language, but is bright and
intelligent. and expects to be able to
talk the language of this country in
the near future. She was very much
pleased with the general appearance of
what she has seen of North Dakota
| and believes that h will be very
much suited with the country
They received many calls from
| descendants of Norwegian people at
the hotel last evening n Mrs. Dust
was much pleased at the reception
| that was accorded her.

Big fire PICTURE
At BljOU THEATRE

The Bijou. have an intensely inter-
esting motion picture for today III,
Heroes One and AL. This two-reel
special is in spots strongly melo-
dramatic, and interesting throughout.
Harry Meyers and Ethel Clayton have
the leads. The feature of the picture
is a big fire. in which is shown the
action of the fire department from the
sounding Of the alarm to the rescue
of the imprisoned business man and
burglar. 1t was the latter who started
the fire when he dropped a match
after lighting his dark lantern. There
is a good scene in telephone ex-
change when the telephone operator,
in love with the man struggling with
a burglar, hears the sounds of the
battle when the receiver in the office
is knocked from it's hook. The rescue
pf~~the two men imprisoned in the
burning building iis thrilling. In the
first reel there is a vein of comedy
when three suitors for the hand of a
girl meet in her parlor.
There are also shown a number OF
colored views on the Denver e Rio
Grande railway, INCLUDING Castle Gate,
Garden of the Gods, Pixies Peak,
Royal Gorge. Marshall Pass, Temple
Square at Salt Lake and many
others.
These feature films will be shown
at all the performances today. You
can see them all and hear the Bijou
orchestra for the same popular price
of admission. --Advt. |.

les to the Glacier park in Montana
which takes place in July. The party

city and it will be up to the automobile
club as we'll as the commercial club

The association owns a camp farm
on Lake Cormorant and, last season,
sixteen boys camped there under the
direction Of Mr.. Miller, from July II
to &c. The farm and equipment is
valued at $4,000, and there is a con-
siderable Indebtedness on the prop
erty, which it is planned to pay as
soon as possible. The boys plan a
minstrel show to assist in this.
In a social way, the game tables
and bowling alleys have been much
used and enjoyed, and leagues, tourna-
ments, and prizes have added interest
to these features, in which the fathers
have also taken part. Suppers and

OBSERVED NEXT SUNDAY.
Festival Service at Gethsemane Cattle
draI Marks Observance Whitsuntide.

According to the church calendar
and the observance Of the Christian
year the great festival of Whitsun-
day, celebrating the descent of the
Holy Spirit, occurring next Sunday,
the great day Of the year, will he
observed at G~ethsemane cathedral Of
the Episcopal church by a festival
service in the morning at IL o'clock.
1t is just fifty days since the observ-
ance of the festival celebrating the
resurrection - Easter. It was the
Jewish feast of Pentecost, which kept
in mind the giving of the Law from
Mount Sinai. Whitsunday is a re-
minder of the one who came to write
the Law upon the minds and hearts
of men. The Jewish feast also had
reference to the ~ingathering of the
fruits of the field. 1t was a figure Of
that ingathering of souls, begun on
the first Whitsunday, when h day
of Pentecost has fully come" For
centuries the Jews Kept two Sundays
as feast days, First Fruits and Pente-
cost. on the first the Lord became
the first fruits of them that slept,
and on the second. the ingathering Of
! His spiritual harvest began.

MOTORCYCLE RACES
Another Feature May Be Added to the
Interstate Rair and Grand Forks
Is Interested.

Secretary Van Horn will likely ar
range in the lear future for motor
cycle races for the interstate air meet
here which begins July / and contin-
ues until the night Of July 4, and there
is already a great deal of attention be-
ing attracted to the same. Grand Forks
motorcycle men who have a large and
we'll appointed club there are greatly
interested in the question and they
have been visiting the secretary's Of
flee in the North Dakota Improvement
building. They stated that if it was
possible they expect to have a large
number of members here July 4 and

have further announcements to make
in the near future.
