Secretly and at tbs hour of 9 o’clock
last Saturday night a very quiet wed
ding was consummated at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Worden, on Sec
ond avenue, in this city, when Mrs.
Harriet Cummings and Mr. E. G. Lind
berg were united in marriage, Com
missioner Maltby officiating in the ca
pacity of Blacksmith Cupid to weld the
nuptial knot.
The affair was simple in the extreme,
the only persons present besides the
bride and groom, being Mrs. Worden.
Mr. John Holmes and Judge Maltby.
The news of the wedding had beer,
rumored but it was not expected so
soon, and the accomplished fact came
as a surprise to the many friends of
both parties in the city and on the
creeks.
Mrs. Lindberg, one ot the most pop
ular young ladies of the Iditarod, came
here last spring from Nome, where she
had resided for two or three years pre
viously. Mr. Lindberg also came to
iditarod last spring as manager of the
Miners & Merchants Bank. The couple
have taken up their residence in a cozy
cottage on Richmond street between
Second and Third.
Wm. Davis, the well-known miner of
the Circle country, and who later oper
ated successfully on upper Cleary
creek, arrived in town last Tuusday
from Geotgetown.

Announcing in large green letters
hat they are figuring on a rousing St.
Patrick’s day ball at Flat City next
Friday night, the A. B.'s of Flat town
have stuck bills all over the country to
the edification of the spring poet and
the nature fakir.
This ball, which is to be a masquer
ule, will be unquestionably an hilari
>us affair—in keeping with the eternal
spirit of the 17th of March.
It is planned on an elaborate scale
and will make a high-tide mark for in
| formal affairs where stiff-necked pro
priety will be kindly requested to stay
at home, and mild conventions put
gently to sleep.
j For all that, masks are to be raised
J at the door so that only those who “be
long’’ will be allowed to enter. By
j this it is not meant that only A. B.'s
I will be permitttd there, but it is de
1 cided that questionable characters will
| be rigidly excluded.
| Under the watchful eye of the com- j
j mittee on arrangements—consisting of
I Harry Shaw, Dr. Carter, Robert Hart,
| Dr. Spaulding and Jonas Brewis—the j
j plans have gradually grown to include j
| a three-piece orchestra (Berggren, Con
I nolly and Drake) and a big feed to be
! served at the hall, and to be included!
JL
n the tickets which can be purchased
lor five round dollars.
A list of valuable prizes has also
seen drawn up, including rewards for
the best sustained characters, the best
;haracter representing a business firm
af the Iditarod, the most original Irish
rostume, and for the finest costume—
these all going double, or for lady and
gentleman. In addition, they wil!
lake-walk, waltz and two-step for
prizes.
The dancing begins at 9:30, and from
the amount of interest being taken in
the affair, it is a lead-pipe cinch there
will be a large concourse of reveler*
there to take part in the opening num
ber.

There’s a large juicy porterhouse
awaiting for you, and the pork chops
are sizzling in the pan.
They got into town Wednesday night,
just as the sable robe of night was
being drawn across the tired eyes ol
day.
Forty-three hundred pounds of heel
and pork, frozen solid and ready to
melt its fragrance into the pan—
wouldn’t that make you hungry?
This is the advance consignment of
'that big shipment of 23 tons of fresh
meat that started from the steamer
Minneapolis so many weeks ago, or to
put it more accurately, just shortly
after the freezeup. This is "also the
consignment that has been the despair
of the meat markets and the freight
ers. Men have cussed, horses have
been lost and precious gold has been
freely expended to get those rib steaks
here, and we should be justly appreci
ative.
Despite the fact that it has cost a
small fortune to get this meat here, it
is selling at not what could be called
an exorbitant figure. Beef sells for 60
cents and pork for 70, which is not so
bad considering that smoked pork costs
75 cents, and you are compelled to pay
for three or four pounds of sealtight
composition.
The rest of the meat will be landed
rapidly, most of it being hauled from
Diskaket to Dikeman by dogteam.
Contractor Snow brought this Srst con
signment to Dikeman, through his In
dian drivers.
Buckskin Bill Landers, the man who
Srst took the contract for the hauling,
and who met with so many mishaps
through storms, and who lost four
horses, is still doggedly at it on the
other end of the trail.
Bill Atchison and Frank Ingles were
in town Thursday in connection with
the lot jumping case that grew out of
the recent land mania at Flat.
