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

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

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.
Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin left the
