From Wednesdays Daily Last evening at 6 o'clock at the Christian church occurred the mar riage of two of the young people of Surprise, Nebraska, Miss WInfred Crapenhoft and Mr. -Arthur Delgner. The Rev. Walter R. Robb read the marriage lines that united .the lives and hearts of these two estimable young people and the simple and im pressive service was used in the ceremony. The young - people had motored here from their home and at the conclusion of the wedding they de- for a brief visit oicg tact To' their home at. their fu Right near home there occasional ly arises an incident that would form a nuceus for a story as sumrisine as fiction. Thirty years ago in Plattsmouth, eo., a family of five children were left in such circumstances that the authorities and help of friends had to provide for them until they were placed in ah orphanage. The five children three boys nd two girls Were soon found homes by the or phanage officials, and each went into a home and by legal adoption each bore a different name. The elder of the children, W. J Spencer of Hastings. Ia., has a wife and children. He knew the christian names of his brothers and sisters, but because of a rule of the orphan age he was not given the surnames they bore. He importuned the or phanage at times to reveal the names and, if possible, the location of the brothers and sisters. Finally the or phanage authorities revealed that dne sistsr bore the surname of King but that now she was the happy wife of a young farmer near Pilger, Neb., and that her name was Mrs. Elroy Salmons. A letter went at once to the address at Pilger. The letter was received on a Saturday and the next day there wheeled into Hastings a car and in that car was a sister that Mr. Spencer had not seen to know for over thirty years. Scarcely were the happy greetings over until tne matter of tne otner brother and sisters were considered. Investigation almost convinces the now united brother and sister that one brother and one sister have, en ter hurried that way to know the truth. We may learn more of this story later. Elroy Salmons, husband of the found sister, is the orphaned son of Mr. and Mrs. William Salmons, one time pioneers of Indian Creek town ship. The mother and father died within one year of each other within the past two years. William Salmons and Jennie Edie were married In the Otha Wearln farm home full two score years ago and they went to Nebraska to start a home and several acres of good land became theirs. Elroy Salmons was the only child born to them. Glenwood Tribune. GIVES FAMILY SUEPEISE PREPARING TOR CONVENTION From Wednesday's Dally Yesterday afternoon Mason Wes cott, oen of the members of the fac ulty of the Northwestern university at Chicago, arrived here and gave his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Wes cott, a real surprise, as "he made the trip by auto when they were expect ing him by train and therefore he was able to steal a march on them. Mr. Wescott was accompanied by the. Misses Erma Mueller and Virginia Anderson, both of Chicago. .The ladies are schoolmates of Miss Alice Louise Wescott at Northwestern uni versity and where they are members of the Kanna Delta sorority. The event was one of the greatest pleas ures, to Miss Alice Louise and to all of the members of the family and a delightful house party is now being held at the Wescott home. ACCEPTS POSITION HERE From Wednesday's Daliy County Clerk George R. Sayles is engaged today in sending out the notifications to the persons who were selected at the primary election as the delegates to the county conven tions of the democratic and republi can parties. The county clerk in addition to the notification of the delegates must also designate the time and place of the conventions of the two parties and which will be held in Plattsmouth on Thursday, August 26th at 2 p. m. Both parties will meet at the court house, the district court and equity court rooms being used for that purpose. The law sets the date and also fixes the county seat of each county in the state as the place of assemb ling the convention. The clerk there fore merely notifies the parties elect ed of the fact of their selection and the date and place of the convention. The primary election v law has taken away the greater part of the "kick" 'that the old time conventions possessed and the work of the con ventions are merely to select dele gates to the state convention, name the county central committee anj pass resolutions if they so wish.
