At 11 o'clock yesterday morning at the residence of Rev. I. H. Hazel, whd performed the ceremony, David C. Lem- ison and Mies Susie Adams were united in marriage. .The wedding was attend ed by the relatives and a few of the in timate friends of the bride and groom. Mr. and Mrs. Lemison are both well known in The Dalles, where they have resided for several .yeaip, and where in the future Ihey will make their borne. We learn that Hon. W. H. Wilson of The Dalles has been appointed general attorney for the Lombard Investment Company for Oregon and Washington, a place filled until recently by Mr. Ellis of Tacoma. J. C. Burkes of this city remains as local agent for Sherman county, a position which he has filled several years acceptably to the com pany. Moro Observer. - The aboye should read that Mr. Wilson represents the counties of this judicial district, in stead of Oregon and Washington. A series of revival services will be held in the Ninth street chapel, com mencing Friday, December 27th. They will be given under the auspices of the United Brethren church. The pastor in charge and Mr. Adams of Sherman county will conduct the" meetings.

Hollott and Miss Emma Falmer, joined their fortunes and agreed to share one another's fortunes for better or for worse. The marriage ceremony was performed by Justice Davis in the parlors of the Union street lodging house, and was witnessed by, a large number of the Salvation Army veterans and recruits. Justice Davis had never faced so large a crowd be fore in performing a marriage cere mony, but went through the proceed ings in proper style. The bride and groom are well-known -workers in the army ranks, and enjoy the love and respect of the members in The Dalles for their many good qualities. The romance had its beginning in an ac quaintance formed in the army, so the event can be called a Salvation wed ding in every sense of the term. MARRIED. At the residence of the bride's parents lueeday evening, Dec. 24, 1895, by W. C. Curtis, pastor of the Congrega tional . church, William Johnson of Mosier and Miss Bertha Weberg of The uanes. The ceremony was followed by a boun tiful repast and genial festivities in good old-country style, the contracting par ties and their guests being mostly Scan dinavians. 5 & MAYS. The Military Ball. Although high expectations had' been held of the military ball, which took place at the armory last night," the scene of brilliancy, which the spectators be held, surpassed the anticipations of the most sanguine. Never before in The Dalles has there been a more representa tive gathering of brave men and fair women than that which crowded the capacious hail last . evening. At the time the musical program, which pre ceded the dancing, began every seat was taken and benches had to be brought in to accommodate the overflowing crowd. The building was decorated most becom ingly. From the centre of the ceiling, streamers of red, white and blue were stretched to the four corners and sides of the room, making a canopy.effect of beauty. Long lines of evergreen trailed gracefully around the walls, while every where the stars and stripes greeted the eye. "The stage resembled a young forest, the orchestra being partly hidden in a bower of evergreen. Stacks of arms and the regimental and company colors gave the scene a military appearance. The lighting apparatus bad been supple mented by the introduction of colored electric 'lamps, which gave a subdued light and varied effect. Sentries were placed upon the sidewa'k leading to the hall and whichever way one turned some evidence of the military discipline was met. Before the dancing began the orches- band gave a -promenade concert of five numbers, to which the audience listened with keen delight. The pieces were new and rendered in that perfectly satis factory manner, for which the Orchestra Union ; is famous. At 9 :30 the grand march led by Col. and Mrs. George T. Thompson began and the marching and countermarching were veryprettily exe cuted. The band bad given away to the orchestra, and, as the soft strains of the waltz music floated from- out the stage the floor was immediately covered with dancers, who through the succeeding hours enjoyed the entrancing waltz. The program was very neatly arranged, the sentiment of each dance being some appropriate phrases. Some of them were as follows: ' i'The Third, Pride of Oregon," "Your Wish is Our Pleasure," "The Fair Ladies," "The Gallant Gen tlemen," "Here's to the Field andjStaff," "And Here's to tne Line," "Cannon Balls, Cartridges and Sabres," "Co. G, Will You Help,Us to Make It the Pride our Oar city," "To the Charming Mu sicians." "To Your Partner, Best of All," "We Hope You Have Had a Merry Christmas," "Taps." Between the third and fourth dances, Hon. J. H. Cradle baugh made a most excellent five minute talk upon the militia. Mr. Cradle baugh, as everyone knows, possesses the happy faculty of knowing just what to say whenever he is called upon." In thought and expression ' his speech was a model for an occasional address and the speaker was interrupted with hearty applause.. Mr. Cradlebaugh closed with a graceful ; bon mot, when " be praised "the boys who can march to the can See our OAK and FIR CORD WOOD, and get our PRICES before buying. - We aTe selling at mini- . mum prices and deliver wood promptly. MAIER & BENTON. non's mouth or any other." The speaker was giyen three cheers for his appaeciated words. Till after midnight the dancers held full sway, and when the ball was over, those who had enjoyed the evening's pleasure were unanimous in declaring it the nonpareil of the social events in The Dalles. The committees in charge of the affair and to - whom the credit is due for its great success were as follows : Recep tion committee Col. Thompson, Lieut. Col. Patterson, Major Bowers, Capt. Hollister, Capt. Brock, Lieut. Blowers, Lieut. Winans, Lieut. Brosius. Floor committee-7-Col. Thompson, Adjt. Rid dell, Capt. Chrieman, Lieut. Reese, Lieut. McAvoy. Decorating committee Lieut. McAvoy, Sergeant Bar tell, Ser geant Buschke, Private Stubling. Christinas Kve Observances- Christmas eve was observed in The Dalles in the old-fashioned but ever pleasant style. At the Christian and Methodist churches, public exercises were held, which drew large audiences. At the Christian church an interesting Drogram was rendered, after which the gifts were distributed and then a general good time followed.' The exercises at the Methodist church were very appropriate. The church was tastily decorated, while on the pul pit platform two large trees stood forth emblazoned with light and heavily hung with all manner of Christmas( remem brances. The program consisted of sing ing by the school, followed by cn ad dress, "Why We Observe Christmas," by Rev. J. H. Wood, who made a few remarks appropriate to the occasion. Mr. Breece, a gentleman who has been in Palestine, gave an interesting talk of some of his experiences there Miss Nellie Clarke gave a well rendered recitation. After an anthem by. the choir, the gifts were distributed under the supervision of Mr. John Parrott, as sisted by a number of young men of the church. A large number of people were the recipients of presents, none of the Sunday school children being unremem bered. The occasion was a very pleas ant one and will be long remembered by the little ones present. Awarded ; Highest Honors World's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair.
