Four Young People of Norway
Made Happy.

A very propitious event hap
pened in Norway township last
Wednesday forenoon which doub-
ly united two prominent families
in that locality. This pretty
doubly wedding uniting in mar
riage May Hustel, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. j. Hustel and
Christ Langager, and Letina
Langager, sister of Christ Ian,
gager to John Hustel, brother
of Miss May, took place at
Nidero church, Rev. H. O. Lee

O'Clock the wedding march play
ed by Miss Clara Likness, was
struck up and the bridal party
took their place before the altar
where the vows We're plighted.
Misses Ella Hustel and Minnie
Anderson were bridesmaids, and
Messers Carl Langager and Ole
Hustel were best men. The
two Young brides were beauti-
fully attired in white net over
white messaline gowns. Their
bridal wells were caught up with
sprays of white lilacs, and each
bride carried a beautiful bouquet
of white roses. The bridesmaids
were prettily dressed in gowns
of white embroidered voile and
also carried bouquets of roses.
Following the ceremony a re-
ception was given for the happy

A Pleasant Social

| On Wednesday night the Luth-
er League had a most delightful
social at the home of Magnus
Stavig and a banquet in the side
room at the church. Some time
ago the League divided into two
divisions for doing missionary
work for the organization. They
were DESIGNATED as the Reds"
and Blues" 1t was agreed that
the side securing the largest
number of members should be
given a good time at the expense
of the other division. The "Red"
lost, hence were the entertain
ers on this occasion.
The progam opened with some
pleasing remarks by Rudolph
Sonstegaard. This was followed
by a song composed for the oc.
casion by Rev. N. K. Rudie and
sung by him and the following:
Axel Holgerson, Christ Peterson,
Elias Johnstad, Arthur Okerlund
and Elmer Henstad.
instrumental duet, Miss Norm
and Miss Rud.
Vocal duet, Miss Laura Sta
Wig and Miss Bengtsson.
Song, Male Sextet.
The prgram closed with few
we'll chosen words by Miss Lau-
ra Stavig, leader of the Reds. "
All then went to the church,
which was prettily decorated in
red and blue, were fine banquet
was served, grace first being
said by the pastor. Four
tables were spread.
The affair closed with a neat
little speech of thanks by Miss
Mabel Swenumson on behalf of
the "Blues.

Lyceum Course

The first two numbers of the
high school lyceum course have
certainly been a success, and the
numbers yet to come will be
just as good. The next number
occurs next Tuesday night, Dec.
16, when Perry Carter will ap-
pear for the first time in Sisse-
ton. Carter is an artist, cartoon
ist and entertainer. It is seldom
that one person is all of these,
but Carter has demonstrated
that he can be-and is-all three
at the same time. Carter is the
popular cartoonist of the Mime
apolis Tribune. His cartoons
are extensively copied in other
publications on both sides of the
Atlantic and his reputation is in
ternational. DR.. Albert Shaw,
editor of the American Review
of Reviews, pronounced Carter's
cartoons for the month "of high
er average merit than those of
any other cartoonist at home or
abroad"
During the last five years
Carter has devoted part of his
time each year to a season of en-
tertainment work. His reputa-
tion as lyceum attraction is es.
tablished. An evenings enter
tainment by Carter is like a
fascinating story, now humorous,
now serious, it's presentation en-
bracing the art of the artist, the
poet, the story teller and the
actor, with great honest smile
for the background of it all.
Watch for the bills. Remember
the date, Tuesday, Dec. 16, and
the price is 35c and SOC.

To All Ford Prospects

What good reason have you for
not placing your order for a
Ford car right now?
If Ford had four times the
capacity he now has for building
cars he could not fill orders
promptly from March first to
July first. l may be somewhat
greedy because l do not want to
lose any sales on the Ford cars,
but it is hardly right to look at
it in that way If you wait until
spring and | cannot fill your
order, you will pay more money
for a car that you will not like as
we'll as Ford, who will lose the
most, you or I? | will lose a
good customer for while, but
you will lose dollars besides not
having the car you felt you real
ly ought to own.
You cannot buy a more perfect
car, smooth and quiet running,
easy to understand, just one
continuous pleasure, a pleasure
that will not only last one year
but many years.
mean you who are just now
reading this, | want your busi-
ness, 1 am asking for it in a
business way. | want you to be
my customer. | will treat you
right.
Come in now and place your
order and make yourself and
family a merry Christmas, and
many happy New Years.

Indians Steal Horses
Sell Team, Buggy and Harness
for $40.


A few days ago Moses Wake
man lost his double rig and it
was soon learned that the out
fit had been sold at Odessa for
$40. Warrants were sworn out
for Jos. Enos, Lewis Enos and
Abraham Huduta for the theft.
The last two mentioned were
soon lodged in Jail. but Jos Enos
skipped out and is still at large.
His companions give him all of
the honor of doing the job, which
will be determined as soon as he
is caught.
Tuesday afternoon John P.
Stevens was over from Lake
Traverse and reported to the
sheriff that his buckskin team
had been stolen, and he has
certain Indians under suspicion.
He has offered a reward of $25
and it is expected that the thief
will soon be run down. Both of
these horses are buckskin and
weigh about 900 each.

Young Couple Husband and
Wife for Past Two Years.

Cass McAllister surprised his
friends here Saturday night by
returning from Madison with a
bride. But back of the affair is
a pretty little romance, for the
marriage really took place two
years ago when the bride was a
IL year old school girl. She was
Miss Rubie Powers of Madison,
and the marriage took place at
Watertown. Since then the
secret has been we'll kept, the
young bride attending school
and going on with her studies
the same as before the knot was
tied; and it has only been few
weeks since the nearest relatives
of the participants in the little
drama had any suspicious as to
how matters stood. Mrs. Nc
Allister was only here a few
days this week when she re-
turned to her former home,
there to remain a couple of
weeks. In the meantime Mr..
and Mrs. Chausse will move to

Circuit Court Grind
Judge Carl Sherwood of Clark
Now on the Bench.

Having some cases to try
which could not properly come
before him, Judge Sherwood has
changed off with Judge McNulty
for a while, an adjournment be-
ing made from Saturday until
Wednesday morning.
When the Standard went to
press last week the Cole case had
just been disposed of. 1t was
supposed that this matter would
be carried over to the next term
OF court, but a satisfactory settle
ment was reached Tuesday
whereby SCHNEIDER recovered his
land and the action against Cole
was dropped.
The next case of Importance to
pc tried was the matter of the
state against Moses Bear, the
Indian charged with criminal
assault upon the person of a
young girl at the government
school. The case for the state
was handled by Thos. Mani and
the prisoner was defended by j.
j. Batterton, both of whom put
up hard fight. The age of the
girl entered quite largely into
the matter of the culpability of
the defendant. Witnesses testi-
led that she was under Is at the
time of the alleged crime, but
she claimed to have been past Is,

points fought out. While this

which temporarily settles it at
least for Roberts county. Ar

Dear Friends in the States:

[ would write you letter telling
of my trip and my experiences.
AS it would be great deal of
work to write to you all individu- =
ally, | am writing a general let
ter for you to pass around.
| shall not tell you about my trip
across the States, as many of YOU
can take that any time and doubt
less many of you have. All l
need to say is that | had very
pleasant journey to New York
and many delightful stop-overs
with friends on the way. The big
cities of Chicago and New York
appealed to me very much with
their complexity of business life,
and I would have been glad to
have spent more time there, but
yet | saw nothing that looked
just as good to me as the West.
| sailed from New York on Sat-
urday, July 10Th. Mr.. and Mrs.
Crowther and Clara Noble, old
Dakota Wesleyan friends, were at
the wharf to see me off and wave
last farewell. Perhaps you can
appreciate how much that meant
to me only when you have had
similar experience of leaving the
homeland. We spent the last
few minutes before the boat left
in taking pictures of the boat and
dock. I wanted to leave roll
of films in New York to be devel-
oped, but Mr.. Crowther could not
get it out of the camera. The
whistle blew for them to take up

change mail with the pilot boat

in time to see the Statue of Lib

field glasses l got good look at
it anyway. The last view | had

tiful, great number of sailing

tions of the sun in the water we're

where on my trip. We could see
the shore most of the evening,
but after that there was no more
of the United States to be seen.
The boat on which I sailed was
the Colon" one of the Panama
Railroad boats. 1t is operated
by "Uncle Sam" largely for the
accommodation of government
employees on the Canal. I was
the only one on board who went
any farther than Panama. It is
comparatively a small boat and

over a hundred first class passen-
gers. l got very we'll acquainted

ly. Sea gulls followed the boat
at times, but | saw no whales or
anything very exciting. Occa-
sionally a big wave splashed up on
deck and created some excite.
ment by giving a person some
thing of a shower bath. One night

near the railing on the upper
deck and was busy reading about
astronomy and hoped to get q

came out. The other people had

the stars then, and watched a

soon after by another wave.
There was very little social life
on the boat but we spent a few
evenings in the saloon listening
to music furnished by some of
the company.
We landed on Friday morning
July 25th, about ten o'clock.s
They awoke US early with the
bugle call that morning as it was
necessary for the stewards to
finish the dining room work so
that they could attend to the
baggage before landing. It was
misty and cloudy so we could
see very little of the shore, but
we watched intently for signs of
land. A short distance from
port the quarantine officers came
out in launch and we all had to
pass inspection but the inspec.
tion was nothing more than
walking by the officer. AS we
drew near the wharf the crowd
