Humphrey Democrat: On last Wed nesday morning at £) o’clock at the Sacred Heart Church in Cornlea oc- ( curred the marriage of Miss Lillian Melcher, of this place, and Mr. Richard Janzing of O’Neill. The impressive ceremony was attended only by im mediate relatives and a few friends of the family. The bride looked charm ing in a dress of white georgette trim med with beads and her veil of silk tulle fell in soft folds to the bottom of her dress being cought in her hair with beads. She carried a beautiful boquet of rose buds and fern leaves. She was attended by the groomsman's sister, Miss Rose Janzing, who was at tired in a light blue crepe de chine. The groomsman was attended by the bride’s brother, Edward Melcher. Fol lowing the ceremony and nuptial m.. ,s a reception was held at the home of the bride, northwest of town, and the day appropriately spent in celebration of the happy event. In the evening a dance was given in the hall here in honor of the young couple and this was largely attended by their friends. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Melcher. She is blessed with the characteristics that will make her a helpmeet in the true sense of the word, and her amiability and gracious ness have made for her a host of friends among her associates. The groom is a stranger to us but he has the appearance of being a genial young man of pleasant bearing, agreeable to, meet and is said to be very popular at O’Neill. We join with the many friends of the bride in this communty in extending our best wishes for joy throughout many years and hope that health and wealth may be their portion in the days that are to be theirs. SIOUX CITY BUSINESS MEN TO BE HERE NEXT TUESDAY The members of the Sioux City Chamber of Commerce will make a trade boosting trip into South Dakota and northeastern Nebraska next Monday and Tuesday and will be in this city on next Tuesday, arriving at 1:30 p. m., and remainng one hour. They are traveling on a special train and will arrive from the west. On the ttain will be a large bunch of the representative business men of Sioux City. They carry their own band and will liven things up as soon as they strike town. The business men of Sioux City have lots of friends in O’Neill, many of our business houses being patrons of the Sioux City whole sale houses, and their representatives will receive a hearty welcome from the business men of this city, O’NEILL LINE TO COST THREE MILLION Sioux City Tribune: Three million dollars is the estimated cost of the proposed 100-mile extension of the Sioux-City-O’Neill line o{ the Burling ton to Thedford, Neb. Nearly 1,000 square miles of territory, much of which has been undeveloped because of a lack of transportation facilities, will be served by the new line.. Con nections at Thedford with the main line of the Burlington to Billings and the Pacific northwest will make Sioux City the market not only for the central western section of Nebraska, but also for Wyoming and southern Montana. Anticipating the effect which the neW line would have the Omaha and Lincoln Chamber of Commerce have assumed a hostile attitude toward the project and toward the Interstate Commerce commission which ordered the building of the road on the re quest of the people of the section the new line would benefit, it was pointed out; by Chamber of Commerce officials here. Secretary William Holden, of the Chamber of Commerce, believes that the extension will make Sioux City the market for much grain and live stock which has heretofore been sent to other railway terminals as well as developing a territory which makes Sioux City its trading point. The chamber is boosting the project. Routing of western passenger traffic will be considerably affected by the new line according to railway men. Denver connections will then be as direct as they now are when Sioux City people are compelled to go to Omaha and will save four hours on the trip as well as 100 miles of travel. COLUMBUS DAY OBSERVED. Columbus Day was fittingly ob served Tuesday evening with an ex tensive program at the Knights of Columbus hall listened to by a capacity and most appreciative audience. The program consisted of an address by Senator James A. Donohoe and several musical numbers and was presided over by the Hon. T. V. Golden who also delivered a short address at the convocation of the gathering. Senator Donohoe in a most eloquent and pleas ing vein, recounted the discovery of America, the vicissitudes of Columbus and his' unfalterng courage, and told of the founding of the order of the Knights of Columbus, its purpose and of its great work for country and humanity during the twenty years of its cxistance. A piano duet by Miss Agnes Shoemaker and Miss Helen Campbell, vocal soloes by Mrs. Harry Reardon and Miss Mary Fitzsimmons, a violn solo by Miss Loretta Mc Nichols and a reading by Vincent Whelan comprised the other pleasing numbers of the program, which con cluded with the singing of “The Star Spangled Banner” by the large audience. Following the program was a dance. LOWREY-CONARRO. Fred Lowery and Miss Marie Con arro, both of this city, were united in marriage by Rev. George Longstaff of the Presbyterian church last Saturday evening. The groom is the efficient local ex pressman and is a man of industry and thrift.
