I'M HERALD, Established April 1, 104 CEDAR CREEK DOINGS i fflynard Charivari Tarty Calls Upon Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schroeder and Have Good Time. Cedar Ckef.k, Neb.-(Special Cor respondence) -Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock a crowd of young men and boys left Cedar Creek well supplied with hot puns, tin pans, cow bells and other noise making instruments, bound ' for the farm house of Phillip Stoehr, one mile southwest of town, where they had located Mr. Pecer Schroeder and Mrs. Maggie Schroeder, bride and groom. The march was well made un der the leadership of Capt. H. G. Frey, and his leutenant, J. S. Woltr, ana al ter getting reinforcements at John Gauers, arrived at the home in two columns, the home guard carbineers and the dish pan brigade. When within twenty yards of the house, the bugle sounded the charge. The surprise was so complete that even the numerous dogs were taken unaware, and barked not. In less time than it takes to think about it, the air was full of ear splitting noises, and the din of battle was at its highest. Mr. Stoehr and others rushed out of the house panic stricken, evidently thinking the ele ments had broken loose. Upon seeing the "Grand Army of Tan Pounders" before him and the flash of guns, he became himself once . more, and tried i . ?i ITsMtroimv trior to persuade silence. ""'' was no lull in the activities unui mr. , Schroder and wife presented them-1 selves, whereupon the noise ceased as ; suddenly as it had begun. After hearty , congratulations had gone out to the j happy couple, and many warm handj shakes, the whole army was encamped in the cellar, where the genial host, Mr. Phillip Stoehr, in a short oration pro claimed welcome to all, and then as sisted by Mr. Hans Schroeder and Jake Cohnes, proceeded to satisfy all wants, thirst as well as hunger. The ladies brought down pies, cakes, and other delicacies too numerous to mention. The army had had a hard march, but was repaid beyond measure, after a - few hours of merry making, were again called to fall in line for the return mar?h Contrary to presumption the march was made in good order, and part of it on double quick time. Of course there were a few stragglers, but the company was disbanded in good shape. CEDAR CREfiK NOTES. Peter Schroeder was an Omaha visi tor Tuesday on important business. W. J.
