Last evening at 6 o'clock at the

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

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.

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

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

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.
