YOUNG MINISTER MARRIED.

s.The Dupree Leader" Of Dupree,
is. D. contains the following marriage
announcement which is OF interest to
many here.
"a pretty home wedding occurred at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. O. S. Geesey,1
in the southeast part of town, yesterday
afternoon at o'clock when Miss Julia M.
eldest daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. o. S.
Geesey, was united in holy matrimony
to Rev. Arthur w. Blauert, by Rev. E.
J. Berg, Lutheran pastor OF Mobridge,
who was classmate of and attended the
Northwestern University and Seminary
at Milwaukee with the groom and came
+. to South Dakota together with him.
The bride appeared in gown Of cream
meteor, trimmed in lace, and carried
bouquet of pink roses. The groom wore
a suit of blue SERGE Miss Birdie, sister
of the bride, was bridesmaid and was
dressed in white. A. E. Blauert, brother
of the groom, was best man. The home
was nicely decorated with pink and white
roses.
The bride is one OF the most popular
young ladies in this community. Her
good character and pleasing personality
have made her many close friends, and
she is we'll fitted for the position she
takes in the new home.
The groom is Lutheran pastor of this
place, and has lived in our midst nearly
year and made many friends by his
sober and industrious habits, qualifying
him we'll to carry out the pledge he has
taken.
After the ceremony the immediate
relatives and friends sat down to a
sumptuous wedding supper of five courses
The happy couple were the recipients
of many beautiful and useful gifts, in
dicative of the high esteem in which they
are held. They will make their home in

he IS canQlQaCe WnOm men may IOl-
low with good heart and good conscience,
whether they be members of his particu-
lar political party or not
The states need Of real leader is
wider and higher and deeper than any
partisan consideration. Mr.. Hammond's
sound democracy is important, in this
connection, only because it means that
he will be the Democratic choice at the
primaries, and thus will be registered in
the list of those from whom the people
will choose in November. 1t is incredible
that the Democrats would be stupid e
enough not to nominate him by an over
whelming majority.
Mr.. Hammond is big man, broad
man, an outstanding starighthitting, APP
pealing figure that will commend itself
nightly to the rapidly increasing num-
Der of men who realize that what this
state needs is not that this party or
that may triumph, or that this faction
or that of one party or another may pre-
vail, but that it's people, without regard
to partisanship, shall elect to the COVER
norship real man who will be real lead
er, and who will conduct the state out of
the tangle of waste, extravaganza, neg
lect and servitude to special interests that
now aff1icts it.
Congressman Hammond was born in
Southboro, Mass, in 1868, and he was
graduated from Dartmouth college in
1884. He moved to Minnesota shortly
afterwards, taught school, studied law,
was admitted to the bar in 1881, and took
up the practice of his profession at St.
James. His public activities include ser
vice as county attorney of Watonwan
county, eight years on the state normal
board and four terms in the congress Of
the United States.
When the people of the second dis
trict of Minnesota revolted against a
Tory and reactionary representative in
congress, they chose Winfield Scott Ham
mond to carry the standard of their re-
volt.
Now that the people of Minnesota have
revolted against Tory and reactionary
state administration, they have the SPLEEN
did opportunity Of choosing Winfield
Scott Hammond to carry the standard
of their revolt.
The Democrats in mass cionventon
have chosen wisely and well; and the
people at large throughout the state will
show their approval of this choice next
Tuesday when they have the opportu-
nifty to vote for clean upright man
as their candidate to fill the highest office
in the state.

Oficiat Paper Of the City Of New Ulm.

New Ulm is fortunate in having among
aer citizens men public spirited enuf to
FAKE upon themselves the burden OF
guaranteeing the success of such an
undertaking as the University Week
course. The expenses this year called
far an appreciably larger guarantee than
last year and yet this did not deter the
BUSINESS men from agreeing to stand
Sack of the venture and as result we
Aave just had the benefit OF one OF the
5nest courses of instruction and enjoyed
she work of artists in several lines for a
Shole week. 1t is pleasant to know
shat the deficit which must be met by
me guarantors is small for that indicates
shat the public appreciated what was
sseing offered them and made use OF it
wen in spite of many other attractions
and interests which centered on this
week. The committee in charge must
BE given all credit for their work in carry
ing the enterprise thru so successfully.
Those who got out and sold tickets
especially should be thanked because
6 IS most unpleasant task to do this
sork at the best. The Union Concert
Band also gave it's services for adver-
using each evening, entirely free OF
aharge, and deserves hearty commen-.
Cation for this work. Another reason
STF self-cOngraGulatiOn in New Ulm is
die possession of place so eminently
lifted to house such course of lectures
IS IS Turner Hall. All of the University
yeopEe expressed themselves as surprised
xad gratifed to find so fine an opera
muse and said that the services rendered
sa,em by the Turnverein in connection
With the use of the Hall was all that any
ane. could ask or wish for. And last,
huc not least, is the fact that the in
creased attendance shows growing
appreciation and desire for entertain
ments of this higher class in our city.
That alone guarantees that the cost of
she Week is well repaid, for to awaken
= desire for such instruction is the first
step to moral uplift and civic betterment.
Let's all look forward to next years
University Week with pleasant antici-
cations.
