Wedding Recalls Familiar Scripture
Incidents.
A NOTABLE NUPTIAL EVENT
Gallentine-Gallentine Wedding In the
North Part of the County Very
Popular With Guests.
Another swell wedding out here in
“God's Country” and two more worth
ies have crossed the line that marks
the boundary between wavering hope
and contented matrimony. This time
they were Miss Jessie Gallentine of
Turner and Mr. E. C. Gallentine of
Decatur, Kansas, whom cupid piloted
over the waves of uncertain courtship
to the placid waters of united bliss.
This very happy affair occurred at
the pleasant home of the bride’s par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Gallen
tine of Turner on August 20th. Num
erous friends and acquaintances were
present to witness the nuptial cere
monies and participate in this social
event. At an early hour teams and
vehicles lined the road in every direc
tion all headed toward the Gallentine
home.
Turkeys could be seen running for
refuge to bush, break, gulch, any
where to avoid pursuit, and the odor
of roast and savory meats and aroma
of baking pastery, explained the exo
dus of affrighted turkey, and the mind
of the writer ran back through the
pages of Holy Writ and wondered if
idstory was not repeating itself, for
the multitude was moving forward
again to a feast in Solomon’s Temple,
the only difference being, that, this
was taking place in “God’s Country,”
the former, the “Holy Land.”
Old-time friends met in glad wel
come, and talked of everything inter
esting, until we were interrupted by
Sol, who appeared with a tray,
and, l say, verily, ’twas a repe
tition of history again, he had been
making wine for the multitude, and
while they all drank there was still
some left, and the writer is frank to
admit, that, on such occasions, his
drinkatite is equally as insatiable as
his appetite. Why, 'twas a libation
of the gods, and an old-timer who
could not enjoy it, had never laved
ids pallet in the Niobrara, Elkhorn or
their tributaries.
We hadn’t stopped smacking our
lips, when we heard the strains of the
wedding march, rendered in gracious
harmony and musical sentiment, by
Miss Mable Huff of Marshaltown, Io.,
a cousin of the bride, and we were
summoned in to witness the ceremon
ies and benediction, administered and
pronounced by Otto Nilson. While
he easily and nicely adjusted the mys
tic bond, we noticed some of the mar
riagable boys and girls look askant at
each other and begin to rise, our anx
iety was that if Otto’s prolongation
did not come abruptly to a close, there
would be more weddings than Sol
could make wine, but he closed as
nicely as he began.
The bride was dressed in a beautiful
dress of white silk null, her only jew
elry a costly broach, worn by her
mother when she was married, while
the groom was dressed In the usual
black.
Immediately after congratulations
came dinner, and right here I give
up. My descriptive genius is fully as
inadequate to do justice to that din
ner as was my capacity Everything
on that sumptuous board proclaimed
the supervision of a proficient hand
in cookery. Will Nollkamper said
’twas the first time he ever under
took anything he was not big enough
to do; but, “py yees,” he was
not big enough to satisfy his appetite.
Ernest Stein said there was ‘‘yust ’
more pleasure in trying than there
was in quitting. Barney Hynes said
it was the first time he ever hollered
enough because he was too small.
Harry Spindler,Harry Fox and George
Bay just groaned and said they would
say something after awhile, that tick
eted Guss Spindler, but he said he
dare not laugh. A sedate guest of
dignified appearance and formality,
and an exponent of linguistic science,
with both hands on his lower vest
button, distressedly said: ‘ Were it
not for the non-elasticity, and ex
crusiating resistence of the dermic
surroundings of my digestive contin
gent, I would have enjoyed it, I be
lieve, a little above the limit.” We
were given a grand treat in music by
the Steins, Bays, Spindlers, Katzors
and others.
Jessie is one of the girls who has
grown up among us here In Holt
county and by her energy, studious,
diligence and unceasing effort has ac
quired an education of which few can
boast. She has been one of the most
successful teachers in this county, and
has taught in other states with
equal success. The groom is a pros
perous young man who appears soc
ially and affably well informed,and we
predict for both a happy and prosper
ous future.
There were more than fifty present
to witness and enjoy the ceremony.
Many beautiful and costly presents
were brought forward as tokens of es
teem and respect in which the worthy
couple were held.
They left in the afternoon on a trip
through Wyoming, Oregon, Idaho,
Washington and on to the coast for
an extended visit with relatives and
friends, returning by California, Colo
rado and Kansas, where they intend
to remain until the groom leases his
Kansas ranch, after which they in
tend to return to Holt county and re
side on the bride’s Kinkaid section,
and receive all friends with the latch
string Hung to the breeze. May they
live long and be happy.

SMALL VOTE AT PRIMARY
Little Interest Taken In the Party
Nominations.
How the primary election went in
Holt county will not be obtainable
until the official canvass is made Fri
day. Retunrs are about all in, but
figures as to the way the various pre
cincts went are very meger. Only a
small per cent of the vote was cast in
the country precincts,while the towns
did a little better. About a third of
the O’Neill voters got out. A major
ity of the funionists of O’Neill were
for Shallenberger for the nomination
for governor, he having about 18 votes
In the lead of other fusion candidates.
Dahlman, however, got 12 out of 16
votes in the third ward. The fusion
ists of the state were largely for Shal
lenberger, who is nominated by a big
majority.
The republicans had no contest on
for governor, though there were sever
al candidates for the other state
Ollices. It is claimed Commissioner
Williams of Fierce is renominated.
Reports from the Sixth congression
al district indicate the renomination
of Congressman Kinkaid. He got all
but 5 of the republican votes in O’
Neill and has most of the votes of the
county. »
As a sample of the light vote cast
Grattan precinct polled only bland
Shields 15. Grattan has about ISO
voters and Shields around 120.
TOP THE MARKET
Beeves Produced by Holt County
Man Touch High Mark.
Score one again for Holt county.
Its superior advantages as a stock
producing and farm country have re
ceived another boost in a recent ship
ment of beeves from Page which car
ried off the top on the Sioux City
market in competition with every
thing else.
C. E. Churchill, the well known
stock feeder living near Page, had on
the Sioux City market a shipment
comprising thirty-six head of short
fed beeves averaging 1,233 pounds, the
sale of which is reported by Clay,
Robinson & Co. at *5.GO, being the
extreme top price for beef steers on
tlfe Sioux City market at that time.
This shows that Holt county can pro
duce the cattle, and that our feeders
know how to put them intokhape to
induce the buyers at the big markets
to bid up on them.

Hooper three games at Albion, Nebr.,

TRIPP COUNTY OPENING
O'Neill Land Office Officials Official
ly Notified of Registration.
CITIZENS BEGIN ADVERTISING
Efforts Being Made to Set Forth Ad
vantages of O’Neill as Registra
tion Station.
Under date of August 27, the com
missioner of tlie general land office
notified the United States land office
at O’Neill, that this place had been
designated as a registration for ap
plicants for land on the Rosebud re
servation in Tripp county, South
Dakota, and thatJ. W. Written of
the general land office had been des
ignated to superintend and conduct
the opening of said lands which is to
occur between October 5 and 17,1908.
Mr. Witten has been directed to come
to O’Neill to confer with the register
and receiver of the United States land
office at this place and instruct them
in all matters relating to the registra
tion, etc. All blank forms for regis
tration are to be furnished by the
land office at O’Neill and all commun
ications received at this office will re
ceive prompt atttention. The O’
Neill land office being the nearest
and most accesihle office to the lands
to be opened a vast number of ap
plicants will avail themselves of the
opportunity of securing desirable lands
for homesteads by registering at this
place.
To devise plans to advertise O’Neill
as the easiest reached and best place
to come for registration a meeting
was held Tuesday evening at the
office of T. V. Golden. Mayor Ed F.
Gallagher presided, Romaine Saund
ers acting as secretary.
It was the sense of the meeting
that the first thing to be done was to
ascertain what the railroads Intended
to do in the way of advertising the
opening and cooperate with them. A
committee was appointed consisting
of T. V. Golden, S. J. Weekes, Sanford
i'arker and Ed F. Gallagher to go to
Omaha and confer with the officials
of both the Burlington and North
western roads. It was planned for
this committee to gj on the early
train Thursday.
Another committee, consisting of
E. S. Eves, Romaine Saunders, G. A.
Miles and J. A. Donohoe, was appoint
ed to get out some advertising matter
at once for local use and then confer
with the first committee upon its re
turn from Omaha and devise further
advertising plans.
It is believed because ofO’Neill’s ad
vantageous location and railroad ac
comodations many people can be
induced to come here, especially from
points along the Burlington in Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. For
this purpose a thorough campaign of
advertising will be carried on.
Accounts Turned Into Cash.
