MR. AND MRS. CIIAS. T. BARTO.
This estimable old couple celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary at their home in Wakefield January 4. 1911. An
account of the happy event, taken from the Wakefield Rcpub
lican, follows.
50th
Mr.
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
and Mrs. Chas. T. Barto Cele
brate Oolden Wedding.
From the Wakefield Republican.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather conditions, a merry crowd
gathered at the home of Mr and Mr?
0 T Barto Tuesday evening to assist
them in properly celebrating their
fiftieth wedding anniversary. As many
of the children, relatives and old time
friends as could were on hand to see
that the program was properly carried
out. Among those out of town were
Mr and Mrs II A (Jassler, Carroll; Mr
and Mrs R Chinn, Allen; Mr and Mrs
A E Barto, Wayne oouDty ; Mrs John
Richards,' Allen; Mr and Mrs D H Ha
ger, Dakota City; W H Mason, Bioux
Among the gifts of gold was thirty-five
dollars, a valuable chain for Mrs Bar
to a ad a watch chain and fob for Mr
Barto, along with many useful, appro
priate and valuable articles too numer
ous to mention.
The room was beautifully decorated
with yellow and white. A three course
lunch was served. The guests depart
ed at a late hour feeling that they had
had an enjoyable time.
Rev Smith did the tying act and I
don't think they can get away from it.
Charles T Barto was born in Brad
ford county, Pa, February 8, 1837.
Ji.8tella (Jooley was born in tbe same
county and state May 5, 1846.
They were married at Erin, Che
mung county, New York, January 3,
1861.
They moved to DeKalb county, Il
linois, in 18G2, and located on the Lo
gan valley in Dixon county, Nebraska,
May 3, 18G9. Seventeen children
were born to them. Two died in in
fancy. Mrs Lucy McClalu died at
Yankton, S D. Those living are Mrs
Richard Chinn of Allen, Nebr; Mrs II
A Caster of Carroll ; Mrs O E DeGroft
of Berried, S D; Ward Barto of Win
side, Neb; Ueorge Barto, Wakefield;
Ernest, Atwater, Cal; Mm 0 J Warn,
Tut look, Cal; Frank, Arthur, Levi,
Wakefield; Alfred, Wayne oonnty;
Mrs J II Carder, Wessington, S D;
Mrs E O McFadin, Wakefield; Miss
Ethel, Grand Island, Neb. At tbe
last report tbere whs 20 grandchildren
and one greatgrandchild.
Until recent years Mr Barto was
quite active in politics. Always a re
publican he reserved the right to vote
for the mau he considered bent fitted
for the office regardless of politics.
Was treasurer of Dixon county from
1884 to 1888. Conducted the office
with credit to himself and the voters
of Dixon county who placed him there.
Mr Barto is a member of the Mason
ic and A O U W lodges.

School House Burns,
A smouldering mass of brick and
ashes is all that remains of Dakota
City's handsome two-story frame school
house.
An alarm of fire was sounded Mon
day evening at about 9 o'clock and the
entire town turned out to battle with
the flames that had started in the fur
nace room in the basement of the
school building, bat owing to the ad
vanced stage of the fire and the inade
quate supply of water the fire steadily
gained on tbe fighters nntil they were
driven away by the intense heat, when
the building whs soon enveloped in
flames. Nothing was saved from the
building, as it was entirely filled with
smoke and gas from the coal in the
the basement whioh had become ig
nited and been smoldering for more
than sn hour before the alarm of fire
was sonned. The first ones to discov
er the fire were Qeorge Barnett, Wil
lie Bchriever and Frank Sides, who
smelled smoke ooming from the direc
tion of the schorl house, and upon go
ing there to investigate found the fur
nace room in the basement on fire, and
smoke issuing from the roof snd the
wiudows of the building. The chemi
cal engine belonging to the town was
sent for but it was rot charged nor
ready for use, owing to the fact that
there is no place provided to store it
to keep it from freezing, and with prao
tioally no water supply the fire soon
got beyond control.
The building was a two story frame,
with basement, containing four large
looms. It was built in 1892 at a cost
of upwards of $1,000. Itisnranoe
to the amount of $2, 3(10 war. carried on
tbe building and $200 on text books
and apparatus. The loss to the dis
trict on the building alone above insu
ranee will amount to $2 000, and ou
books and apparatus $1,000.
Plans are being made ss rapidly as
possible to begin school again. The
primary room will be coutinued iu the
lower room of the old briok school
house. The court room in the co-irt
house has beeu tendered to the district I
by the board of county commissioners !
and tho high school department and
one of the lower grades will bn install
ed there. The two remaining rooms
will be provided with suitable quart
ers, snd it is hoped by the first of next
week to have the school running again,
even though at a slight disadvantage.
An order for text books was sent in the
day following tho fire, and these will
likely be here in ample time.
1'lans for rebuilding the school house
will be taken up as soon as possible,
but this will take time, and it is ex
pected that another building cannot be
provided before another school term
begins.

City this week, P M Boals was third
