C. r. Schnrnmnu Married.
When C. F. Scharmanu left town
ten days ago in a rather surrepti
tious manner, there were these
who thought that the young man
had .matrimonial intent, though
none, except his parent's were cer
tain of this. These surmises, how
ever, haye proven true, for today
(Tuesday) Mr. Scharinatm will be
united in marriage at Boston to
Miss Nannie Andrews of Steele
City, Neb., a young" lady he has
known for a number of years.
Miss Andrews is a graduate of the
Boston conservatory of music, and
during the last year had been teach
ing' music at a seminary at Wester
villc. Ohio, from which place she
went to Boston and visited Sit the
home of a friend, where the wed
ding occurcd.
Mr. and Mrs. Scharmanu ex
pect, so he writes us. to cmbaik to
day for Liverpool. They will visit
the Paris exposition and make a
tour of Germany, arriving home
the latter part of August.
The young lady ot Mr. Scliar
m a tin's choice is known by several
North Platte people, who speak of
her in very complimentary terms,
and she will prove a very valuable
acquisition to North Platte's cotoric
of musicians and to social circles.
We reserve our warm congratu
lations until Mr. and Mrs. Schar
manu return home.
Tho Park Banquet,
banquet tendered
The
W. L.
i-arK r nuay evening as a icsn-
ruonial oi tue esteem in winch lie is :
held by the citizens of North Platte,
and as an expression of the appre
ciation of his services as a promoter
of the business interests of the city.
proved a very pleasant and success
ful affair. It was the intention to
tender the banquet at the time Mr.
Park received !i is promotion as
superintendent of the Wyoming
di v is i Qtf ub'ua.tiJliat, tjnie it yas
iiui pub&iuie tor nun 10 uc present
in the city, 'and it was postponed
until last Friday.
A reception and smoker was held
at the club rooms from 8:30 to 9:30,
where claret punch was served from":
a liurc cake ot ice from Pawnee
Springs lake and the hour spent at
the rooms was a pleasant one, giv
ing each guest an opportunity to
meet and talk with Mr. Park.
The banquet was served by
Caterer Federhoof at the Knights
of Pythias hall, covers being laid
for fifty anil the menu served iu six
courses. win. Neville presided as
toastmaster and proposed the toasts
111 a nappy ycin. Those who re
sponded to toasts were Messrs.
Harrington, Billiard, Wilcox, Pat
terson, McDonald, Warner, See-
berger. Grimes and McCabe, and
the subjects treated covered a wide
range. In closing each speaker re
ferred to the guest of honor in most
complimentary terms, and the ban
queters felt that each good word
said of him was fully deserved. At
the close of the toasts. Mr. Park
made a neat speech, in which he
feelingly expressed his appreciation
of the mark of esteem of which the
banquet gave evidence, lie had
spent nearly all his life in North
Platte, had a kindly feeling for all
citizens, and his removal from our
midst, though brought about by a
promotion, was not unmixed with
regret. Mr. Park said he expected
to retain his property interests in
the city and valley and when he
retired from railroad activity hoped
to spend his remaining years under
his own vine and fig tree. His
pleasant recollections of North
Platte could not be forgotten nor
his friendship foi its people be
erased. He said that the kind
words spoken of him by local rail
road men had preceded him to his
new jurisdiction and that they had
been of benefit to him. At the
close of his remarks three cheers
for Mr. Park were proposed and
were given with heartiness,
The banqueters tbnn accompanied
Mr. Park to the train where the.
final adieus were .made and as tl:
train pulled out "additional cheers
were given
Messrs. Iddmgs, Fields, Harring
ton, -McKeen and Mcdonald, who
had charge of the banquet deserve
credit for the excellent manner in
which the affair was managed and
for , their judgment in furnishing
only the best brand of wines, cham
pagne and cigars.
