Dwyer, on north Fifth st reet, at eight o'clock ast evening, Be v. Youtzv pronouncing the words that united Mr. .lames William Kingsleyand Miss Susanna Viola Thomas. The hride was hand-' soniely attired in a gown of U-autiful white silk, while the groom wore the conventional black. Miss Ella Buffner served in the capacity of bride of hon or, and Mr. Henry Weidinan as liest man, while the attendants were Misses Teressa Ileinpel and May Vallery, and Messrs Henry (ioosand Albeit Fricke. The wedding party entered the hand somely decorated parlors, as the wed- ling inarch pealed forth from the piano performed by Miss Kiltie Cummins. Miss Clara Street sang the beauti ful songl,0 Promise Me," in her usual charming manner. None but rela tives and most int imate friends of the contracting parties were present to witness the ceremony. The bride is one of Plat tsinoilth's most handsome and popular young ladies, and for a number of years has been employed as an assistant in the ofllce of Miss Teresa Ileinpel, (Sra.nl Recorder for the Degree of Honor. And if the old saying "none knew her but to love her" ever did hold good in any case, it most certainly docs w ith Miss Thomas. She leaves Plattsmouth with feelings of deep regret from all who know her. The groom is a model young man, who has heen in the employ of t he B. Si M. railroad for several years in Un capacity of clerk in one of the depart ments at Lincoln, but a few weeks ago was transferred to Chicago. Those who know him estimate his sterling worth most highly, and while they re gard him very fortunate in securing so charmingly handsome and impular lady for a wife, they are also of the opinion that the bride is equally fortu nate in securing so worthy a young gentleman as Mr. Kingsley for alius band, and the Journal holies that neither will ever see the day or even the hour that they will regret the step they have taken in their future career. The happy couple will leave to-night or their future home in Downer's drove, a supurb of Chicago, where the groom has prepared a comfortable home for the bride, and when; wr hope happiness and prosperity will reign supreme. The happy couple take with them numerous handsome and valuable pres ents as tokens of esteem and in mem ory of this most important event of their lives. Davies, 1511 Douglas St., Omaha, Neb.

For the past week I 'lat t smooth has been infested with a lold gang of sneak thieves, Several hoarders at, the I'lat tsinout h hotel have had whole suits of clothing taken from their rooms, which were never recovered and it is sup-mscd the thieves made good their escape. There has been another gang, or perhaps the same ones who stole the clothing from tin; hotel, who lattempted to pass worth less checks on numerous merchants, but failed to "catch" any of them. Evidently their scheme was well planned. One of their numlicr would enter a. store, and present himself as the representative of a wholesale house, and proceed to make t he ac quaintance of the proprietor. After which he would go out in town, and again come back under the pretense of bidding the merchant a final fare well. About t his t imeanot hei st ranger would put in an apfierauce, purchase a bill of goods, amounting to two or three dollars, and then present a check for a sum much larger. The merchant would almost inveralJly refuse to ac cept the check on the ground of the man being a stranger. The wholesale? "representative" would come to the front and tell the merchant that he; knew the fellow who presented tho check and that he was all right. Ihit as faras can Ik; ascertained noneof our merchants were caught. The people have got to be on the lookout for such fellows, and the the officers should he instructed to ar rest all strangers who remain in the city over one day, who are not here 011 business, or who are known as non-residents. (Jive them the "move along' nod, and if they fail to understand put them on the rock pile, which we understand the city is preparing for their special benefit. With Colors Flying.

Water was probably the lirst mirror, then polished metal took its place and offered its services to those who liked to admire their lx-auty. With the invention of glass came also the invention of mirrors as we find them now in every household. The mirrors of Venice were always praised for their exquisite purity and clearness with which they reflected all objects. The mirror is our test friend; it neverlics. In the morning we some times cannot believe that it is our picture we see lefore us: the face yellow, the eyes without lustre with black rings around, pale lips. The mirror tells us: "you are sick. Take care." And you really are sick. You need Triner's American Elixir of Hitter Wine. The complexion will soon become clear and heautiful, the eye will get its lustre again. This remedy brings all organs to work; It purities and renews the blood which goes to the minutest parts of the body, nourishing them and curing them. It makes the lxdy strong.
