rick church occurred the marriage of
Miss Elizabeth Weinberger and Frank
McGovern in the presence of relatives
and a few intimate friends. They were
attended by Miss Isabelle Doran of
this city and Hugh McGovern of Den

then the yomng couple left on the
morning train for Denver and other
western points.
These young people are among tho
best known and most popular in North

sea of married life, they have the best
wishes of a very large circle of friends.
I Buick Ranks First
Thursday afternoon at 6 o'clock a 1914 B25 Buick
touring car left Lincoln for North Platte. The distance
was 303 miles. Four gallons of gasoline wore added
at Grand Island and upon arriving at North Platte 6J
gallons filled tho tank to overflowing. This is consid
ered a remarkable mileage record, 28.8 miles to a
gallon being tho average for the entire distance, which
covered miles of dusty roads and fresh grades. Tho
car was driven straight through without a stop and
arrived at North Platte at 6 a. m. Friday. The aver
ago speed maintained elapsed time was 25J miles per
hour. The engine run perfectly cool and not an ounce
of water was added during tho entire trip and 1 j quarts
of cylinder oil were used. We believe this is a record
between the points mentioned in evory way.
This was a common stock car, such as wo are
selling every day and it only goes to show what a
wonderfully refined engine tho Buick Company ia
producing.

Criminals and Crime.
Is tho criminal ho becuuso tio wants
to be so? No moro wicked fallacy wa
over foisted upon a credulous world
tlm'n this. Nobody at any period of
tho world over wished to bo criminal.
Evory one instinctively hates and fearH
crime. Every one Is honest by nature.
It Is Inherent In tho soul. -1 havo never
met a criminal who did not hntq his
crlnie even moro than his condemnors
hnto it Tho apparent exception Is
when tho man docs out consider his
net a crime. IIo has killed because
his victim exasperated him to It. lie
has robbed society becauso society
mado war on him. Tho offender hatca
his crime.
But ho Is not ashamed of It?
Now, that is true, no & not asham

It, ho fears it, but It docs not fill him
with n senso of sin. LT. Fielding Hall
