LOVE'S LABOR
IS_NOT LOST
When two hearts are probbed with
love’s tender pain there is no use of ma
ternal authority trying to quench the
flame by arbitrarially demanding that
a girl not marry her beloved. This was
again demonstrated by an incident that
occurred last Thursday.
In the forenoon of that day, Mr. Ed
gar Bramon and Miss Amanda Freder
icks, both belonging in the Hainsville
country east of O’Neill, appeared be
fore County Judge Selab, procured mar
riage licence and were joined in wed
lock: The marriage was contrary to
the wishes of the bride’s mother, Mrs.
Martha Fredericks, a widow, who was
very muchly irritated when she learned
of the happy event. The mother claims
that her daughter is but fourteen years
of age while the girl gave her age to the
judge as eighteen. The mother objected
to the marriage because she had another
man selected for her daughter’s husband.
But the girl preferred her own choice in
things matrimonial and the two young
people came to O’Neill and were mar
ried on the q. t. The girl afterword
stated that her honest age was seventeen.
It seems that when the mother learned
that her daughter had come to O’Neill
with young Mr. Bramon she suspioioned
what was up, and in company with £.
McElhose, a neighbor and father of the
boy whom Mrs. Fredericks wished to
see made husband to her daughter,
started to town to spoil their matrimon
ial plans. But when a few miles from
home the irate mother and much cha
grined prospective father-in-law came
upon the irrepresible lovers, Mr. and
Mrs. Bramon, returning home from
their wedding. Just what ensued when
they met is not deflnately known, but
it seems the soft whispers of love and
tender caresses of the young couple were
suddenly broke off by rude hands forc
ing a separation and the girl being
taken in charge by her mother and the
groom allowed to go bis way in sadness
and alone.
Mrs. Fredericks and Mr. McElhose
came with the girl to O’Neill. The lat
ter was left at a hotel with instructions
to the clerk to see that she did not go
out while the two former went to the
county judge’s office to verify the state
ment of the young people that they
were married. Amanda took advantage
of their visit to the judge’s office to
leave the hotel, procure a team and
drive post haste homeward to join her
newly wedded husband and at Inst ac
counts they were abiding hapily to
gether. while the baffled pair in O’Neill
were hunting high and low for the
wily young lady.
There is an estate belonging to the
Fredericks of which Mrs, Fredericks is
administratrix. The girl, now Mrs.
Bramon, was to have received $700 of
the estate upon becoming of age. This
$700 seems to be somewhat of a bone of
contention, it appearing from what the
bride said that her mother and Mc
Elhose were conniving to wed bis son
to the girl to get a hand in the estate.
Mrs. Fredericks, Judge Selah says, in
timated to him that she might become
the wife of McElhose and desired her
daughter to wed his son and thus keep
the estate in the family. It transpires,
however, that the man has a wife. The
daughter spoke of friendliness between
the woman and McElhose, and made
some sensational charges while at the
hotel, the landlord says.

THE DEDICATION OF
ST. MARTS CONVENT
The crowning event in the progress of
the new Catholic school in O'Neill, St.
Mary’s convent, occurred yesterday
forenoon when the solemn and sacred
rites of dedication were performed in
the beautifully finished chapel of the
building. It was a day of gratitude and
gladness especially to the Catholic peo
pie of this community while of Interest
to others as well. As the members of
Father Cassidy’s parish met together |at
the magniflcient structure'.they felt that
hopes and labors of years were crystal*
ized reality and the dedicatorial services
had a deep meaning to them.
Owing to the fact that the priests who
had been expected to assist were unable
to get here, there was disappointment in
not being able to celebrate the solemn
high mass. Father Cassidy celebrated
high mass and Father Cleary of Minne
apolis, who was in the city on a lecture
tour, made an address. Father Cleaiy
spoke in glowing terms of the convent,
saving It was an institution that any
city in the land would be proud of, and
paid a high tribute of praise to those
whose untiring efforts and sacrificing
devotion made the institution possible.
"■ ather Cleary then took up the subject
of education from the material and re
ligious standpoints, showing that true
education implies the developing of
spiritual powers along with the mental
and physical. The baneful tendencies
of the times, it was pointed out, in the
so-called higher institutions of learning
to distroy faith in devine things by in
culoating false notions of science was
to be counteracted by the training of the
young in habits of reverence by the
devoted teaohers in such institutions as
St. Mary’s convent, and the necessity of
encouraging the good work by sending
the children was urged upon the people.
The Frontier hasn’t time nor space to
enter into a detailed description of the
convent this week, but will endeavor to
do so later. It is a magnificent building,
