Through a misunderstanding of dates a statement is made on our last page that the teachers will be entertained this evening at the Burke residence. The fact is this reception was held at the Burke home last Saturday evening, hence it is a "horse" on the local editor. This reception was attended by seventy-fiye or eighty teachers who were pleasantly entertained by music by the Mandolin Club and selection on the piano bv Miss Burke. Refrenlunents were served and a general good time prevailed. The lecture delivered at the opera louse last evening by 13d. Amherst Ott ot Drake university was heard by an audience of several hundred; it was deserving ot four-fold that number. It was a decided treat, in fact the general verdict is that nothing quite so good had before been heard in North Platte. The subject, "Sour Grapes," centered on heredity that like begets like. The acorn from the oak tree. produces an oak tree; the physical aud moral character of the parent is transmitted to the off spring. Numerous cases werecited to prove the latter proposition. Mrs. Siddons came from a family of actors, Bach from a familv of musicians, Napoleon was born with inherent desire for war and con quest, and so on through the list of those who were great. The appli cations made by the speaker were to the poiut, they were suggestive, they awakened thought and inter est in the lecturer's appeal for greater social purity. Prof. Ott is a dramatic speaker, his flights of oratory are superb, the word-paint ing grand. He spoke for an hour and a quarter, he could have doubled his time and yet held the most in tense interest of his auditors. In securing Prof. Ott for a lecture Co. Supt. Thoelecke is entitled to the thanks of the entire audience pres ent, Joined n Wedlock, A verj pretty wedding occurred at the residence ot Mr. and Mrs. John Brait, on west Fourth street, last Wednesday evening at 8:30. Miss Elizabeth Margherita Bratt, one of North Platte's most brilliant and estimable daughters was united in marriage to Mr. William Arthur Baldwin of Omaha. The wedding was, a very quiet one, only the relatives and a few of the most intimate friends of the family being present. The spacious compartments of the bride's home were brilliantly lighted and deco rated for the occasion. When the inspiring strains of Lohengrin's wedding march sounded forth under the cheerful touch of Miss Nellie, the youngest sister of the bride who presided at the piano, the bridal party, consist ing of the bride-elect leaning on the arm of her father, followed by Miss Jessie Bratt as maid ot honor, and the bridegroom with Charles Hcndy as best man, proceeded from the main hall through the space rib boned off by Mabel aiid Lulu, the little daughters of Mr. and Mrs, John Burke, to tbc large arch in the cast window of the south parlor which was lavishly trimmed with cut flowers and sinila.v. It was beneath this arch of blossoms that the bridal couple stood while the solemn words of the Episcopal marriage service were Batd by the Rev. George A. Bccchcr. After the wedding ceremony and the usual greetings an elegant re past was served. Mr, and Mrs. Baldwin were the recipients of a large number of costly gifts. The bride was born in this county and reared in North Platte. After her graduation from the pub lic schools she pursued her studies in an Omaha business college from which she graduated with honor, and for the past two years has been acting dean in the university ot South Dakota. The groom is an enterprising young business man ot Omaha. Their many friends in North Platte extend to them hearty congratulations for a long and happy wedded life.
