She was a very faithful glrl and hac
become SO well known to the fratern-
ity Of the county that we all dislike to
see her lose her identity-and perhaps
quit the game. The young man she
has taken as life partner is an Ellen

The funny thing about this wedding
is that Mamie ,and her husoand drove
to Oakes Monday and took the after
noon train for Fargo. At least that is
what she said when she stopped at
The Times home to dust off and fix the
few loose hairs that had been blown by

being married. We were bit suspic-
ious that something might happen be-

Washington, July 21.-The draft for
the national army is completed. The
great task Of determining the order In
which the registrants should be called
up for examination was begun at 8 :4S
o'clock Friday morning when No. 25S
was drawn, and was kept up continu-
.ously until early Saturday morning,
when the last number came out of the
bowl. In all 10000 numbers were
drawn, but II is not likely that men
holding numbers drawn after the first
1000 will be summoned before the
boards for service in the first army.
According to the officials In charge,
the first 1000 numbers drawn repre-
sented more than million men.
The draft was invested with all the
dignity and solemnity becoming so i'm
portant an event, and was Witnessed
by distinguished company. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain of the senate military
committee. Congressman Dent Of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn.
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees;
Maj. Gen. Tasker III. Bliss, acting
chief Of staff of the army; Maj Gen.
Enoch Crowder. provost marshal of
the army and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above
few thousand affect registrants. OF
the 1857 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10,200 numbers. while
the smallest has only about 1856, and
the average Is about 1900. AS the
drawing proceeded, 1877 numbers were
Withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
II was l26. placing 1857 men number
ed 1876 on their local lists as 157th In
order Of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers In the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the Sec
ond, or red-ink registry, number, was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line, beginning with
the first number which was drawn by
Secretary Baker. ~
