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. The bride was one of the
capable operators of the local tele
phone exchange and is a charming
young lady with many friends in this
city. The young couple have the best
wishes of a host of friends for a long
and happy journey on the matrimonial
seas.

After the weddng ceremony the

bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Pribil south of this city, where a
splendid wedding breakfast was pre
pared and enjoyed by the bridal
couple and their relatives. Mr., and
Mrs. Shoemaker left on the Nerth-"
western for an extended wedding tour

perous farmers and stockmen of

dents of the south country. She is an
