VOLUME 10. NUMBER 227. [ HELEN ‘M. GOULD MARRIED AT NOON f . Became Bride of Finley J. Shepard, of St. Loui»' in Drawing Room _of Her Estate. “QUEEN OF PHILANTHROPISTS” Is Known Throughout the World as Benefitter of Mankind—Money From Railroads. “SIMPLICITY” HARD TO FIND P Tables Were Toaded With Hundreds i R of Costly Gifts and Breakfast } Served Fifty. By United Pre: Tarrytown, N. Y., Jan. 22.—Helen Miller Gould, known throughout the world as the “Queen philanthropist of American women,” and Finley J. Shepard, assistant to the president of the Missourl Pacific railway, on the main line of the Gould system, were { married at exactly 12:30 today in the| spacious drawing room of the bride’s stately mansion at Lyndhurst on the Hudson. - While widely heralded as the simip- lest of weddings, the fact remains that there was a rich setting of bow- er-like beautiful floral pieces, swell- ing harmonies of an orchestra of fifty, piecs, and tables loaded with hun- dreds upon hundreds of rare and costly presents. . Great glittering tables, laden with service for a wed- ding breakfast for fifty guests, could scarcely pass as simplicity in the eyes of the average American bride. Miss Gould spent much of e Ums during the. forenoon- with her ser ants and ether employes at Lynd- ‘hurat, Weér>country- estate, directing the decorations and arrangéments. Her gardener ran back and forth be- tween the mansion and the green house, bearing great armfuls of cut roses and vines and the almcst inces- sent tinkling of the telephcne bell gave evidence of more than ordinary i activity within the stately gray walls. The stone gateway leading into the drive and the porte cochere were covered with trailing green vines, One of the footmen was stationed [ at the gates, halting the scores of curious visitors who drove and walk- ed the two miles from the town, hop- ing to be admitted at least to the ‘grounds and to get a glimpse of the 1 bride-to-be or the bridegroom. The footman told everyome that it was impossible to admit them to the grounds, as he was under strict ord- ers to keep the crowd from gathering inside the estate. “Following our plan from the be- ginning, we want it to be a simple country wedding,” said Miss Gould in explanation of the rule. Superintendent Goodey, of the i Lyndhurst estate, being sent to New [ York to collect all the wedding pres- ents that have been sent to Miss Gould’s town house, returned today, under guard of a squad of private detectives engaged to protect him on the way back with the gifts, some of which are known to be of great value. Among the gifts were a handsome rope of pearls from George J. Gould, a corsage ornament of diamonds from Frank Gould; a set of tapestries from Edwin Gould. Howard Gould gave his sister a rare art treasure which he purchased recently in Paris. The principals included Louis J. Shepard, brother of the bridegroom, { as best man; and Miss Gould’s little 7 nieces, Helen and Dorothy, daughters of Frank Gould, who acted as flower girls. The two children were the | bride’s only attendants. . The wedding guests were restricted to members of both families and a tew friends. - Less than a hundred persons witnessed the ceremony, which was performed at high noon by the Rev. Daniel Russell, pastor of the Irvington Presbyterian church. COMMERCIAL CLUB DIRECTORS The Commercial club directors will meet at 4 p. m. today. MEETING AT SWANSON LAKE A. E.

A farm of 160 acres, most of wnich| is' cleared and under cultivation, and cash in the bank is what Mr. uul Nrs.. Herman “Biokstadt; - about six miles east of Bemidll i ihe towrr of Frohn, have to-show'as the results of sixteen years in Bel- trami county. -Not only have they cut 2 farm out of the jack pinme, but they have raised nine children, have built commodious farm -buildings, have sufficient stock for their own use, and have several pieces ‘of mod- ern maochinery. Both Mr. and Mrs. Eickstadt were. born-in Germany. Herman gerved in the German army from 1878 to 1882 and was with the king’s studs for a time after his term of enlistment. Dissatisfied with his wages in the old country, he followed his mother to America and located in Douglas county. He came here in 1884 and went to work at $18 per month. It ‘was not long before he had enough to send for the girl he had left behind and they were married in 1886. They. lived in Parkers Prairie for ten years before coming to Beltrami county. . Mr. Eickstadt homesteaded his land and when picking it out did not look at the timber but at the soil beneath. “We want a farm,” he said. So now when the timber is gone, the Eickstadts have a farm of black loam and with enough roll to proper- ly shed water. The wood lot is large enough to suply fuel for many years to come. Mr. Eickstadt has made a apeeflalty of raising corn that will grow in.this climate. - He brought. his first seed in from Otter ‘Tail county in 1895 and has been growing the same corn ever since.” It is a mixture = of several varieties but is prolific and yields an average of fifty bushels to the acre. His potatoes last year average = 250 bushels to the acre and the yleld was below normal. He threshed 1,100 bushels of wheat. On the farm are six milch cows, four ‘horses, a dozen ‘hogs, three sheep, seven or eight calves and numerous chickens. Mr. Eickstadt's sheep won first prize in Classes A and.B'at the Bel- trami county fair last fall. He did not enter his horses but his heavy team won first and second places as. = Bt ed to plan to reach St. Cloud by noon of the 24th, in ample time for dinner, and so a8 to be ready for the after- noon meeting. A visit will be made to the big paper mills under the guid- ance of St. Cloud citizens. Ore. —J..C. Morrison, Morris Tribuiie. —Roe Chase, Anoka Herald.
