MAYOR RALPH 3. TARALSETH
JOINS THE BENEDICTS

Raj ph Barney Taralseth, of War
rem, and Lottie May Olson, of
Argyle, were quietly married at
Minneapolis, Minn., on Wednesday,
Aug. %, 1916. This is the simple
announcement Of the happy event
that unites for life Warren's popular
mayor and one Of Argyle's most
esteemed young ladies.
The bride is a daughter of Mrs.
Jennie Olson, whose late husband
was one of the pioneer merchants of
Argyle. She is a talented and high
ly accomplished young woman,
whose coming to Warren will be
greatly welcomed by all the people
of the city. For some years she SER
we'd as teacher in our public
schools, hence she is no stranger
when she comes to reign as queen in
her own home.
The groom as everyone knows is
the head and manager Of the K. J.
Taralseth Company, which operates
Warren's and the whole Northwest's,
biggest general merchandise store, a
business enterprise that was founded
by his father, K. J. Taralseth, War
ren's pioneer merchant prince,
whose genius for business the son
has inherited to a marked degree.
AS before stated, the groom is also
the mayor of Warren, the city in
which all his interests are now locat-
ed ard henoeforth .Till recss4ye his
undivided attention. It may be
taken for granted that the city of
Warren will be better governed than
ever now, since the honorable Mayor
has taken unto himself better half.
A host of friends of both bride
and groom in this city and county
and thruout the entire Northwest ex-
tend to them most hearty congratu-
lations and wish them a full measure
of joy, happiness and success in their
journey thru life.
The newly welded pair will be at
home to their friends in Warren af-
ter October first.

New Indian Lid Decision.

The Government Indian Depart
ment at Washington has made two
important announcements in connec-
ton with the enforcement of the
Indian treaties which prohibit the
liquor traffic in northern Minnesota.
One is to the effect that the possess
sion of liquor is prima facie evi-
dence of it's introduction. The other
declares that beer is to be classed
as spirituous liquor.
This latest activity on the part Of
the government closely follows d
visit made by w. G. Calderwood,
Minnesota's leading prohibitionist,
to Washington a week or so ago.
Calderwood was again called to
Washington on August 22nd and
was in conference with government
officials from time to time this
week. :.2.r.
The Indian treaty provides that
liquor shall not be introduced into
the restricted territory and hereto
fore it has been necessary to prove
the specific act of Introduction. In
other words, if man were found
with liquor in his possession, moth
ing could be definitely proved that
he introduced it. Under the new
ruling, if man has liquor, the fact
that he introduced it need not be-
proved. That, under this new order,
is assumed.
The second announcement is Of
Importance because it covers the
only wet territory remaining in
northwestern Minnesota. All Of
that section of the state is dry
either by Indian treaty or local and
county option, except the city Of
Red Lake Falls. The Indian treaty
covering this city covers only spirit
uous liquors, and this being the
case, the brewers have made that
point a distributing center for the
entire northwest, including North
Dakota. The new order which places
? beer in the category Of spirituous
!, liquor, will stop the beer trade at
4 Red Lake Falls, as the whiskey
trade has already been stopped.
t The Indian lid is closing down
tighter and tighter in northern Min
: nesota. Under the provisions Of the
old Indian treaties, which were un-
r covered and put through the courts
!. through the sole efforts Of w. G.
Calderwood, prohibition candidate
for U. S. Senator, more territory
has been made dry than under the
provisions Of the local option and
$ county option laws of the state,
i Moreover, the law being enforced
). by Federal officials and not being
dependent for enforcement upon the
! caprices Of local officials who fre.
: quently make a farce Of local pro-
hibition laws to which they are per.
I. s,sdhally opposed.

AUTOMOBILE TIPS OVER.

An automobile accident that might
have proved fatal to several occurred
on Monday. forenoon a@uut t~o
miles SOUL Of Warren cn the
Crookston road. Mr.. and Mrs. J. =
Meloney and Mr.. and Mrs. Carl
Sandsten, and little son Of Williams,
MINI. had left Stephen where they
are visiting relatives and friends,
and were bound for Crookston, in a
new Studebaker car. In passing a
team on one side of the road and
lodging a man that was standing
on the other side of the road little
further on, the car got too close to
the edge Of a culvert, hidden in tall
weeds, a few feet ahead. Fortunate
1y the car was running at a slow
rate Of speed and just tipped over
gently on the side, none Of the oc-
cupants Of the car being injured at
all. The accident happened just as
the north bound local passed by and
the train crew told about the. acci-
dent. In a little while number of
cars from town were on their way
to the scene of the accident. The
automobile was soon righted and
brought back onto the road appar-
emily uninjured except the running
board on one side, which was badly
smashed. The auto party was soor
on their way again after a mishaI
which might have been serious.
The culvert at which the accident
occurred is in Polk county, a short
distance south of the Marshall coun
ty line. Like most culverts that arr
put in, it is too short, and ough'
never to have been left withou
guide rails on either side. The tai
weeds that grew on both sides hid i
completely from view. It is strang
4 that cars have not before this gon
] over the edge. The danger to auto
i mobile tourists from too short or de
fective culverts, is a serious one an
township and county road authoritie
should not neglect taking prope
!, steps to safe guard same. It ma
! save an expensive damage suit.

The latter phrase was Max's way Of
ordering the driver TO move on. The
car snorted resentfully, then pulled
smoothly and swiftly away. Max
waved jaunty farewell with n lemon

Whitaker went up to his room in
reflective mood in which the theatrical
man had little place. Since his arrival
in New York he had fallen into the
habit of seeking the view from his
window when In meditatlve humor. A
view of ten thousand roofs, inexpressi-
bly, enchanting. Somewhere
-perhaps-in that welter of steel and
stone, as eternal and as restless as the
sea, was the woman Whitaker had
married, working out her, lonely des-
tiny. A haphaZard biscuit tossed from
his window might fall upon the very
roof that sheltered her; he might
search for hundred years and never
cross her path.
He wondered.
The possibility that she might have
married n second time did not disturb
his pulse by the least fraction of a
beat. He even contemplated the chance
that she might be dead with normal
equanimity. Fortunate, that he didn't
love her. More fortunate still, that he
loved no one else.
Incontinently he wrote and dis
patched long, eXtravagant cablegram
to Mrs. Petit in care of the American
embassy, little doubling that she would
Immediately answer.
When eventually he strobe into the
white room, Max was already estab-
lished at the famous little table in the
southeast corner. Whitaker was con-
scious of turning heads and guarded
comment as he took his place opposite
the little fat man.

assured him Importantly. "Don't hap
pen to need any notorlety, do your"
mo. thanks"
"Dine with me here three NIGHTS

your hat. Look me over" he requested
abruptly, leaning back. II guess I'm

Whitaker reviewed the striking eff
feet Max had created by encaslng his
brief neck and double chin in an old
fashioned high collar and black silk
stock, beneath which his important
