L. J. Nichols Wins a Bride.
It was something of a surprise to his
•many friends in Oakes when L. J.
Nichols arrived in the city Monday eve
ning bringing with him a bride. He
was married in Chicago on Oct. 9th to
Mrs. Agnes Bottoms, an accomplished
young widow whose home is in San
Antonio, Texas. Mr. Nichols met his
bride-to-be in Chicago, being on her re
turn from an extended visit in Eastern
Canada, New York and New Jersey.
On their way to Oakes they stopped
over in the twin cities and spent ten
days with the groom's children at Sioux
city. ...
Mr. and Mrs. Nichols will leave Sat
urday for San Antonio, Texas, where
Mrs. Nichols has two daughters.
New Trial for Hazlett.
The supreme court has handed down
a decision granting a new trial to John
B. Hazlett, convicted in Saigent
county of murder and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. The decision is
based upon an error of the trial court
in instructing the jury that the burden
of proof was on the defendant to prove
that he was acting in self-defense.

Ellendale had another bad fire Sunday morning. About
four o'clock fire was discovered in the barn back of the Irwin
House, the firemen were powerless to check, it and quickj|y and^
surely it took the Irwin House, the main hotel of the city,
spread south to Joe Townsend's livery barn, reached out for
J. R. Lacey's machine shop, James Stephenson's wagon shop,
F. A. Bobbe's barn and the residence of the Austin Estate,
opposite the Commercial Hotel and occupied by Ex-Treasurer
Stewart. ,•"
To stop the progress of the flames on main street, the small
building east of the Irwin, owned by the Austin Estate and
occupied by D. A. White as a pool room, was pulled out, giving
the firemen a chance to stay the flames.
The printing office of the Record was next door. For awhile
it was thought that the building could not be saved and the
material was mainly moved out. The building was badly
scorched in the rear, but it was saved.
Seventeen horses perished in the Townsend barn, one being
a fine etallion valued at $1,500 and a mare valued at $500, both
being housed only for the night and belonging to O'Connell &
Wright of Forbes. These had just been sold to Guelph parties
and were on their way to.be delivered.
A.horse and two cows fell victims to the flames in the Irwin
House barn.
The origin of the fire is a mystery, as the other fires have
been in Oakes and EUendale.

And to find a bride and bridegroom
was not difficult for the lady and lord of
the house had been selected for that
function several days ago. Escorted
to a place of honor, the bridal couple,
upon whom the honors had fallen so
suddenly,were greeted by smiling and
beaming faces all about them.
1
Speech making was next in order.
Rev. John Safstrom of the Hample
church came forth and reminded of a
happy occasion that took place twenty
five years ago. To show their appre
ciation of the couple who had been
chosen for special honors this evening,
these many friends had brought a visi
ble and beautiful token of their friend
ship—a splendid tea set of silver which
was brought jn on a silver tray and de
posited on a table in front of the
bride and bridegroom for their examin
ation and admiration. An engraving
on the tray told the story:
Fredrika and P. E. Peterson
1882—1907.
After the benediction had been pro
nounced over the bridal couple the first
part of the program for the evening
ended.
Next came refreshments. It certain
ly was a fine picture to see the couple
in the place of honor at the first table
loaded with good things, the table en
tirely surrounded by the P. E. Peter
son family.
After all had partaken of the repast
a season of pleasant conversation fol
lowed. In a remote corner an old timer
even went as far as to relate how he
remembered the time when P. E. Peter
son as a bashful youth wooed and won
a blushing Fredrika.
It was at a late hour and after much
handshaking, many congratulations
and well wishes for the silver bride and
bridegroom, that the big crowd of
friends went their way rejoicing.
Thirty-Fifth Anniversary.
Fullerton Farmer: A very pleasant sur
was perpetrated last Friday evening
upon Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Alexanderson
by their many Rosebud friends in honor
of their thirty-fifth wedding anniver
sary. It was a joyous gathering to the
number of about sixty and they made
the dear old home ring with merriment
I and good cheer from cellar to garret.
I Mr. and Mrs. Alexanderson soon re
covered from their surprise and soon
arranged for a right good time. The
hosts were the recipients of many
'tokens of remembrance. A delicious
luncheon was partaken of after which
I the self-invited, but none the less wel
come, guests wished the pioneer couple
many happy returns of the day and
reluctantly departed for their homes.

The grade books for the second
school month have been issued and up
on examination it will be found that
there is a decided improvement over
the first month's work. This is ex
plained by diligent application, regular
ity in attendance and punctuality on
the part of the students. We urgently
request parents to examine these re
ports, sign and return them by the
student tne following morning.
A splendid and commendable spirit is
developing in the high school classes
over the class standing in each of the
classes. At the bottom of the grade
book is a blank marked "Class Stand
ing" in which is recorded each student's
standing, in his class, showing his rank
in comparison with his classmates.
Please take note of this and commend
where it is deserving and encourage
where it .is needed. A word from tne
parent is sufficient to spur him on to
greater effort and higher ideals.
The high school auditorium has been
reseated in order that we could make
room for another row of desks. This
will give us a seating capacity of about
85. This will help some as two students
have been compelled to sit together in
some cases.

essential factors in modern education.
The first meeting of the State Science
and Mathematics Association meets at
the state university, Nov. 9th. This
association is made up of all teachers
of science and mathematics in the state
high schools of North Dakota. It is
designed to improve these departments
of secondary education by discussions

by the various members and the

Dr. Stewart of the department of
Physics in the state has received a
large assortment of apparatus for dem

The good derived from this association
can not be measured in money as it will
greatly increase the efficiency of the
instruction and instructors of these de

in modern instruction. Therefore, it is
imperative that instructors keep abreast
with modern educational' thought and
methods.

Makes Declaration of Principles
at Outset of Campaign for
United States Senate.
Platform:
In response to a strong and unsolicited sentiment throughout
the state, I offer myself to the Republican electors as a candidate
at the June primaries for the nomination of United States
Senator.
Having lived here and been actively engaged in various lines
of industry for thirty-five years, I know the needs of the people
and am in full sympathy with them.
I will have had eight years' experience in the House of Repre
sentatives and a consequent acquaintance with public men and
affairs and a knowledge of the machinery of the Government and
its workings that no new man can bring to the service of the
people.
Many slates promote their House members to the Senate and
I am a candidate for such promotion, relying on my record.
I am in complete sympathy with the policies of President
Roosevelt and most decidedly favor his re-election and, in the
event of his persistent refusal to accept the nomination, I am for
the candidate whom he believes would most successfully carry
out his policies.
Briefly stated:
I stand for prompt revision of the Tariff for removal of all
Tariff on Lumber I favor the removal of the Tariff on Wood
Pulp, or such other legislation as will bring relief from the ex
tortions of the Paper Trust.
I am squarely for complete and rigid control by the strong
arm of the National Government through National charters or
licenses of all Railroads, Express and Telegraph companies and
all other corporations doing an interstate commerce business and
for the broadest publicity of their affairs. The business of cor
porations must be brought down to the common level of honesty,
fair dealing, and fair competition of other lines of business.
Our Railroads ought to be appraised at their actual value as
a basis for determining equitable freight and passenger Tariffs
and for the purposes of taxation.
I want to see a Public Building erected by the Government for
postofifices and courts in all our small cities and favor some
concerted action of the Government and State for improvement
of our wagon roads.
I favor such National legislation as will supplement and
strengthen our State Prohibition and Pure Food Laws and make
their execution more certain and effective, and shall do my
utmost to secure the passage of my Pure Paint Bill introduced
in the last Congress.
A decided betterment of our Political conditions in the State
has set in with which I am in full sympathy. I want to see the
movement go forward and keep apace with our splendid industrial
progress.
Under existing conditions the people, for the first time, can
and will name a Senator free from dictation of corporate influence
and bossism. To the people I make my appeal and if elected,
to them I shall give my sole allegiance.
The domination of our Politics by corporations and bosses is
a menace to good Government and I want to see their influence
eliminated in order that our Government, State and National,
may be what its founders intended, purely representative.
At all times I am a Republican—standing with the party of
progress and of action, the party that meets every new condition
successfully and promptly.
