and City Travel Over the Routes
of the Proposed Highway.
From Saturday's Iailv
Yesterday a committee cf the city
and chamber of commerce were out in
the west part of the city looking over
the proposed roadway to the Oak Hill
cemetery which it has been strongly
urged should be gravel e.l or other
hard surface given so that the road
may be in shape to travel in all kinds
ol weather and eliminating the dis
agreeable features that are found in
the winter and spring in reaching the
lurhii grounds of the community.
The committee viewed the present . nu seni in mat morning lroui nere
route of the highwav. that of south jshowed that the animal had rabies

which will include the making of a in the Monitor, telling people to
new roadway on the west end of
Locust street to connect with the Ojk
street road near the Scybert property.
The newer road will require som
labor to make in condition as the
new portion that will have to be
opened will require grading up and
prepared to allow the drainage of the
water now finds its way down the
hills from Oak street. This read,
however, eliminates th grade cross

The present road has been kert up
in as good a condition as possible ;:nd
would eliminate the cost of grading
that the new road would make neces

crossing to contend with, but this
might be still further safeguarded
for funeral parties.
The property that adjoins the
roads was also looked over as the
graveling of the road will moan the
necessity of the creation of a gravel

the law and a part, at least, of the
expense of the graveling be borne by

Much Discussed Piece of Work Near

From Saturday's raily
The city council at its meeting on
Monday evening will have up for dis
cussion the matter of the paving pro
gram of the year which includes the
extension of the brick paving north
from Elm on Webster boulevard, a
distance of four blocks, a piece of
iwork that has long been desired by
the Masonic Home association to
: complete their plans for the land
scape gardening of the grounds of
the Home.
This is a matter in which the
whole community is greatly inter
ested as a feature of real civic pride.
as it will give a permanent driveway
.through the grounds of the home and
allow the carrying out of extensive
plans made by the Home association
for the general improvement and
; landscaping cf its grounds.
j There should be some prompt ac- '
ition to see that the paving district
ihere is created as it will be now well
into the fall before the paving can
be placed in the best possible cir-.
cumstances, a delay of two weeks '
more just putting the project that
I much further into late October or
November before it can be completed
By the passing of the ordinance cov
ering Webster boulevard at the.
! forthcoming session it will ho pos
sible to start the definite steps to
fward calling for bids and getting the ;
work under way so that it can be '
I ready by fall. I
The fact that the Masonic Home
association will bear practically all i
the cost of the paving and has strong
ly urged the carrying out of the
work shows that it has real pride in
its beautiful home and its surround
ings and should have the hearty co
operation of the city in the carry
ing out of their program the small
est part that the city can do, being
to expedite the carrying out of the
work, by cutting the red tape that
has hung up the progress of the work
and seeing that the ordinance is
passed and the preliminary work
started toward giving the Home its
desired highway.
Since the opening of Webster;
boulevard practically all the travel 1
north has passed over that boulevard
rather than along Fifteenth street,
as it gives a shorter cut to the fed
eral highway and is much more con
venient. .
Let the community show that it Is
appreciative of the splendid work
that the Masonic Home has been do
ing in the community by the im
provement of its grounds and the
erection of the new $125,000 infirm
ary building, by granting the request
for the paving and this without any
more unnecessary delay.

Relatives State Man Has Been Miss
ing From Horns for Six Weeks
and Think Body May Be His.
From Saturday laily
The dispatches of the finding of the
body of an unknown suicide on the
island near South Rend a few days
ago. has led relatives at Fremont to
suspect that the man found thre
may be William J. Gallagher, ncod
02 years and who has been missi::g
for the past several weeks.
The description of the suicide dors
not tally entirely with that given
of the missing Fremont man. but the
gold watch that was found on his
person is similar to one that was car
ried by Gallagher when he was hist
seen by the members of the family.
Gallagher left Omaha six weeks
ago and since that time no word of
his whereabouts has boon heard by
the relatives and caused a great deal
of worry to the wife and son of the
unfortunate man.
The relatives declare that the miss
ing man was acting quite queerly
some time before he disappeared and
they fear that he has matle away with
himself in some manner while in a
spell of dispondency, slipping away to
some unknown place and ending his
life as the man at South Bend has
done.

Shower Given
for Two of Late
Summer Brides
Social Event at Elmwood in Honor
of Young1 Ladies, One of Whom j
is to Reside in this City. j
With tho entire state a sizzling Sa
hara for a fortnight, those ladies
were indeed fortunate who received
this delightful weather forecast for
the afternoon of July lo, A
shower shelter provided at the Nei
hart home.
Some Go or 70 guests responded-to
this alluring invitation and at the
appointed hour were ushered into the
attractive Neihart apartments. Hard
ly were they seated when a most un
usual company was announced, Mr.
and Mrs. Sucker, family and rela
tives, apparently on their way from
the hill country cf the Ozarks to
Council Bluffs. It seems they had
been detained by our filial hostess
for a unique wedding ceremony part
ly fer the entertainment of her
guests, most of all for the benefit of
the two honor guests, the Misses Nita
Samk and Blanche Swartwood in
whose honor the shower had been
arranged.
It was indeed a most illuminating
ceremony. The bride, in a "fetch
ing'' costume, fetched from the Ark
a Copenhagen blue cas-innere, tho
meek enough looking, declared ob
stinately she would never obey, she'd
go home to her mother first.
The minister, in a brown derby
and with a softy southern drawl, de
spite his gentleness, made a good
many demands of the happy couple.
Judging from the solemn demeanor .
of the entire company, marriage is a
serious thing in the Oznrks. j
A trio of rather bright looking
young girls mad? an attempt to sing
just before the ceremony but between ,
their giggling and embarrassment !
neither the words nor the air could i
he distinguished. After the ceremony j
they had somewhat recovered from'
their confusion and again made an j
attempt to sing. This time a few
wort's of the old time hymn "Bring- j
ing in the Sheaves," could be plainly
understood.
The big feature of the afternoon,
however, was the "shower." Imme
diately after the departure of the
Ozarkims. the Misses Samck and
S'lVartwood were asked to take clmirs
at the east end of the long living
loom in plain view of all tho guests.
A way was cleared and two small
lads made their appearance each
drawing a heavily loaded wagon.
:',oth little lads wore high hats and
spectacles and on the back of each
was a huge placard. The card of the
boy drawing the wanon for Miss
Swartwood bore the name Lawyer
Willensiek. that for Miss Samek,
Lawyer Capwell.
Whether intentional or not here
wis a pretty bit of sentiment involv
ed. It seemed entirely fating that
Lawyers Capwell and Willensiek
should present all these gifts to the
voting ladios even if it were to be
icno by proxy for would they not
moii be giving them the biggest cf
all gifts their names?
It was genuine "shower" as some
one remarked, a "cloudburst." Gifts
of silver, linen, cut glass, bedding,
hooks, nice enough and plentiful
enough to -delight the heart of any
bride.
Neat little speeches of acceptance
were made by each of the girls.
A deli.-ious lunch was then served
tho hostess consisting of ice cream
i!h raspberries, cakes, ice tea and
?an:'.y.
Mrs. Neihart was assisted in serv
ing by Mesdamcs McCrory and Rose
now. Thrs passed a most delightful af
ternoon, wherein not only a shower
but. entertainment and refreshments
had a!so been provided by a thought
ful hostess. K'mwood Leader-Echo.
GRADING
FOR GRAVEL
From Thursday's Inily
Louisville precinct is just now in
the midst of preparing for the gravel
ing of the main highways that lead
thru the precinct both east and west
and north and south.
The grading outiits are building
:p the roads so that they will be in
readiness for the surfacing that is
so n to tol:ow. i lie roail irom Uie
;-o:ith precinct line into Louisville
lias been widened and placed in first
class shape, many of the sharp turns
being made more safe for travel I
when the good roads make it possible 1
to get over the road at' higher rates
of speed.. On the east the grading is
being carried on and the corners
widened and the roadbed built up so
that it will be high and dry at all
seasons of the year. The road west
from Louisville to the South Bond
precinct line is also graded up in fine
shape and will make a good traveled
highway when completed.
It is (he intention, it is stated, that
the surfacing of the road will be
both the regular road gravel and
partly crushed rock. Tho crushed
rock surface that has been used on
some of the highways there has
proved such a well wearing surfac
ing that many prefer it to the gravel,
especially on the hills, where its more
hardened surface ofiers more resist
ance to the effects of water.
