Canon Burgess, pastor of the above church, which was thronged with the many friends of the contract lug parties. For this occasion tbe church bad been very beautifully decorated in white, yellow and green. The arch above the pulpit being attractively ar ranged with a lattice work of smllaz, In which yellow crysanthemums and white carnations were artistically in terwoven. The baptismal altar was al most hidden by the profuse floral dec orations of white and yellow llowers. In accordance with the old English ceremony, that was employed through out the service, the guests were seated by the regular ushers of the church, W. J. White and J. V. Barwlck, who were assisted by C. G. Frlcke, W. M. Twitchcland Win. Ballance. Promptly at the appointed hour Miss Kittic Cummins rendered Lohen grin's wedding march in very inspir ing tones, while Misses Ellen Pollock and Catherine Dovey, In pretty pale green empires, advanced up the aisle, releasing endless rolls of white ribbon. In keeping with the English marriage customs, the live bridesmaids attired In lemon colored dresses and each car rying a bouquet of crysanthemums, were accompanied by live groomsmen, who were dressed In conventional black. The bridesmaids and grooms men Misses Margery Walker. Susan Holdredgc, Janette 1'almcr, Florence Dovey, Lena Frlcke and Messrs. Geo. Falter, Jack Patterson, James Reed, Fritz Frlcke and Emmons J. Richey. The maid of honor, Miss Margaret Dovey, appeared in a pale green em pire, preceding her sister, the bride, who was escorted to the by menial altar by her father, Geo. E. Dovey. The bride appeared with queenly grace In princess gown of white net over lace, while a fragrant sprig of orange bios som nestled in her hair, underneath a long white veil that enveloped her features. A beautiful bouquet of lily of the valley and asparagus-formosa was carried by the bride, who was met at tbe altar by the groom, accom panied by his brother, Charles, who was best man. The impressive marriage service was then performed by Rev. Canon Bur gess, who, after the vows had been taken, congratulated the benedict and gave them his tlesslngs. The bridal party then repaired to Coates' Hall, where a swell reception was held from 8 until 0:30 o'clock. The hall had been very tastily ar ranged with smllax and red coxcomb, by the florist, L. A. Moore. The draperies were pale green, and in the dining room where a corps of local waiters suDDlled the wants of the guests, the chairs were arranged In squares, In the center of which were profuse floral designs, interspersed with lighted candles. After receiving congratulations the newlv married Inaugurated an old fashioned Virginia reel.ln which near ly every one participated, to tbe music furnished by Mr, Geo. Weidman and Miss Bessie Ballance. A social time was enjoyed until refreshments were served. At the dining room door Mrs. Fred Dawson received the guests, presenting them with the dream In spiring wedding cake, which had been prepared and very neatly placed In souvenir boxes by Mrs. A. E. Gass. In the elegant eatables that were pre pared under the special supervision of a chef from Baldud's, tnecoior ac- nipn was further manifested. While refreshments were still being par tntpn of. the word was passed that tho bride and groom were missing, and the remainder of the bridal party inv mediately Instituted what proved to be a fruitless search. It was presumed by some that Mr, and Mrs. Rae Patterson intended to take No. 1:1 to the westward at 10:1$ that night, and In hope of giving them a proper send olT, a large number as sembled at the depot, only to sec the train come and go, but no victims for the many sacks of rice. An explanation of the newly mar rlcd's sudden disappearance Is heard on tho streets Wednesday, Is to the ef fect that Mr. and Mrs. Tattcrson drove to La Platte and from there were taken to Omaha by a friend, who had brought an automobile Into scr vice. From Omaha tbe young couple will likely take a train foraPcnnsyl vanla Rtatlon, as It Is known that they expect t U in Chlcaw;) In a few days. I The bride, who is an accomplished j daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E. j Dovey, graduated from the city high j school in the class of H'OI, and has. many friends who will he pleased to learn of this happy event. I The groom, w ho Is a son of the late Jas. Patterson, has been reared to manhood in this vicinity, and is one of the industrious otllclals of the Hank of Cass County. In secuilng this esti mable lady for his life partner, he re ceives the hearty congratulations of his host of friends, among whom the Journal desires to be numbered. The young couple were the recipi ents of many handsome, as well as useful presents, which may be seen during tbe next two weeks at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E. Dovey. Among tbe gifts received by tbe bride was a beautiful bracelet with three diamond sets, which was presented by the groom. The out-of-town guests that were In attendance at the services and recep tion were Mr. and Mrs. F. E. White, Mrs. Harry Chapman, Mr. Vlsmer, Fred Hamilton, Byron Reed, Jas. Reed, Mrs. Belle Campbell, Misses Mary and Susan IIoldrege.Lena Groct sebel and Marlon Johnson, Omaha; Mrs. Sam Hinkle, Havelock; Mrs. Pirle, Wymore; Mrs. Frank Palmer and daughter. Miss Jeanette, Miss Margaret Byers, Mrs. John Pierce, Lincoln; Miss Bessie Tyson, Elmwood. EATON AND SEARLE SAY 'NO! Something for the Independent Voter to Ponder Over. A comparison of the p.n)3-r.ut State taxes levied by the State Board of Equalization shows an Increase of $110,123.13: looti $L',lttl,4:U.s: l'.IO.j I'.liJl.lI'.Hj. $iiO,rj.').i;i Of this increase the railroads con tributed $:7r.).17; all other property $.j7,1T.V!h1. These figures show that the extravagant republican appropria tions are being paid fur, not by the railroads but by the other owners of all other property. When it Is remembered that the state tax forms about onc-si.vsh of the general taxation, it can le readily seen what the general result Is: lallroad taxs increased. .. .8 17.G:t.".02 All other property increased 3 i:i,0. j.7i In making the P.WJ assessments Mickey and Mortensen voted to in crease the Union Pacific and North western railroad assessment; Seatle, Eaton and Galusha voted "No." Had these three gentlemen voted "Yes," the state would have received $20,- 244.62 more In taxes from thpse two roads. The counties and school dis tricts approximately 8100,000 more. The "No" of Searle, Eaton and Ga lusha consequently cost the taxpayers $120,000.00 and saved the railroads a corresponding amount. Railroad passes to this trio and their friends are a good investment on the part of tbe railroads. Votes cast by tbe loyal members of the G. O. P. for the ticket, no matter who is on it, come high. They should pay their Increased taxes and look pleasant, or more intelligently. Not Necessary. An item Is going tbe rounds stating that it is necessary for all hunters to obtain a license from the county clerk, The license is necessary only when the hunter wishes to follow the sport out side the county of which he Is a rest dent. Any person is allowed by law to kill a limited amount of game within the limits of his own county. Robbing Yourself That is just what j'ou are doing when you fail to get reg ular and sufficient sleep. Your body requires this unconscious period for repair work; with out it your nerve energy be comes exhausted, and you are tired, worn-out, nervous, ex citable; have headache, neu ralgia, indigestion, poor appe tite, or other ailments caused by a lack of nerve force. Make it your business to sleep. If you arc restless, take Dr. Miles' Nervine; it soothes and strengthens the nerves, and brings sweet, refreshing, life-giving sleep, and gives. the organs power to work natur ally. Try it to-day.

Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind A GOOD MAN PASSES AWAY For Man) Years a resident ot Pialt.nauth, j and Greatly Rejects! I Eiersone. Andrew J. Graves was born in the I state i f Tennessee on the h'tli day uf JulyKX Two years after Ills birth' he came with his parents to Mills county, Iowa, and there remained until the jear ltil, when his parents agalu moved, and he, with them came to Cass eouuty, Nebraska, where they permanently settled. Here he grew to manhood, working, attending the public schools, and also graduating from tbe Bryant & Stratton business college at St. Joseph, Missouri. Possessed of a strong faculty for self Instruction he continued his studies alone, prepared himself for teaching and for a time followed that profes sion with marked success, teaching In the public schools and In the Naomi Institute at Rock Bluffs, Cass county, Nebraska. On the 5th day of October 1 877, he married Emma A. Allen at riatts mouth, Nebraska, and with her lived a happy home life until his decease. Wbile teaching he studied law and In January 1887 was admitted to the bar by the Judge of the District Court of Cass county. In ISM he came to riattsmouth with his family where he has ever since resided. For the first year he was the reporter for the riatts mouth Herald, after which time he entered upon the practice of law which he thereafter continually fol lowed as his profession, serving suc cessfully for two years as prosecuting attorney of Cass county, and as a mem ber of the city council of Plattsmouth lor four years where he acted as chair man of the tinance committee, and was unswerving In his championship of civic righteousness. In IS".") he joined the Methodist Episcopal church at Hock Bluffs, and soon there-alter was selected tis superintendent of the Sunday school at that place, and later acted In the same capacity In the Methodist church at Elmwood, this county, where, he resided for about cnejear. In lau r years hewashss active In church work, but his daily life ix emplitled his abiding faith. His family consisted of his wife, four daughters, Mamie, Addie, F.thcl and Olive, and two sons, Carl and Paul, all of whom survive him. His aged mother, fix brotheis and two sisters arc also still living. With a clear mind and unfaltering heart he patient ly awaited the end which came at his own home in Plattsmouth at 3:15 p.m. on tho 7th day of October I'M. To fully characterize the life of this good man one needs to touch all the sturdy virtues of noble manhood. For many rears physically frail, he fought life's battles without a murmur, and with a courage rarely seen on life's highway. Wherever his duties called bim, whether at his otllce, on the street, at his home, In the court room, in the public assembly, no matter bow high tbe pressure or excitement, be was always found In perfect equilib rium, with a pure heart, clean mind, chaste language and with a demeanor firm but kind and gentle toward those about bim. He was modest and unas suming, highly Intelligent, well read, a safe counsellor and a Just arbitra tor of tbe differences between his fel low men. Domestic In his habits, be was a lover of bis borne and family and happiness with tbem and provid ing for their comfort and welfare. A true friend, a patriotic and useful citizen, In sympathy with humanity, and a believer In the predominences of good In tbe world. One would be vain indeed to seek for a higher encomium than that which will be forced from the lips of all who speak of the thoughts and words and deeds of this brave man, who at the very closing hour lay calm ly contemplating tbe rapid flight of time and the swift approach of eter nlty ready for the issue. A high minded, pure hearted, noble souled genuine man. Observe Lett Sad Honors. The last sad tributes to the mem ory of the late A.J.Graves were ob served Wednesday at 3:30 o'clock at the Methodist church. A short sketch ot tbe deceased was read by Rev. Houlgate, and appropriate songs were rendered by a quartet of friends. Af ter the services the remains, accom panled by the pall bearers, S. M. Chap man, Byron Clark, C. S. Polk, R. R Windham, C. A. Pawls and Jesse L Root, were conveyed to the Oak Hill cemetery for Interment. Such Improvement Counts. JamcsSage, the liveryman, Is having a concrete walk laid the full length of his residence property on the conic of Sixth and Pearl streets both on the north and west sides. Turner ami Johnson arc doing the work, and to say that It will be done tight, don't half express It. It w ill he done "good and bard," also. As soon as the w alks are finished, Mr bage contemplates putting up an Iron fence, and when this Is all completed Mr. and Mrs Sage can boast of having one of the very prettiest homes In Plattsmouth And the Journal hopes they may live long to enjoy the comforts which hav been gained by a long sclito of energy and hard labor. r L WESCOTT'S SONS Outside Appearance Worth Distinguishes ing We Offer for Sale. and Inside the Cloth- ?

After a bitter fight that has lasted tor several years, the Independent tel ephone company through their presi dent, T. E. Parmele, and manager, T. II. Pollock, have finally, by persist ent and firm demands, at last succeed ed in defeating the Nebraska tele phone gratters, who have resorted to every ruse and disguise tbat might de lay action and eventually kill the measure, which tbe Independent 'phone desires to submit to the voters this fall. The measure provides for submission to the voters of Omaha at tbe coming election the question of granting a franchise to the Indcpcnd ent 'phone on terms that will mean reduction of fully one-third In tele phone rates, give free connection with South Omaha, give full connections with tbe thousands of independent telephones In the surrounding coun try, and pay Into the Omaba city treasury a percentage of the gross re eclpts. Much interest has been taken by the people of Plattsmouth, and of this successful outcome, the Journal de sires to congratulate the local com pany.and Itsollieers.who thus have In creased the value of a home concern Organizing Agalntt Hortetlileves. HhcrllT Hess of Lancaster county has begun the organization of a vigil ance committee to stop horse steal ing and to catch the horse thieves. Inirlng the last year horse stealing has !ccn a favorite passtlinc for some parties as yet unknown to the sheriff, and recently the city of Lincoln has been Invaded and a lot of harness and saddles have been stolen. The slier Iff expects to organize the farmers, so that when a report comes In of visit of horse thieves ho can telephone these farmers and they can watch the roads for tho thieves. Whether the organization will reserve the right to uso the rope when a horse thief Is caught Is not set out in the bylaws of the order. BURGLARS AGAIN GET BUSY Break Into Home of J. Helner, an Old Sol dier, Residing on Eighth Stmt. 6ET AWAY WITH HIS PENSION MONEY Suspicious Characters Obsened In Town This Morning, and Officers Hope to Land the Tbleies. THE INDEPENDENT IN OMAHA The evidence that burglars are again at work in this city was dis closed this morning by J. Helner, an old soldier, who resides on North Eighth street, and who reports that while asleep last night someone broke into his house and robbed him of 124.50, portion of his quarterly pension money, wnicn the old soldiers and their widows received yesterday. After securing his pension Mr. Helner bad settled up several bills about town, and when he retired last night he had 124.50 In a pocketbook, which was In his trousers. Mr. Helner heard tbe clock strike halt past twelve, after which he went to sleep and was not disturbed until nearly half past eight this morning, when he awoke, feeling very sore and stiff. Upon at tempting to walk across the floor, be found that his head went whirling and that he could scarcely stand for some time. This condition, Mr. Helner thinks, was caused by some drug that was administered by the thieves to keep him quiet. An entrance was gained through one or the windows, after which t lie kitchen door was unlocked by the in truders In order that they might make a "get away" should an alarm l.e sounded. Tho nocketbonk and money were taken from the trousers, which were left In the middle of the kitchen floor by the visitors. Suspicious characters were observed In that vicinity by several of the neighbors, and one reports that she heard someone moving about Mr. Hclncr's premises about 3 o'clock this morning. Two colored fellows boarded the morning Missouri Pacific train to Omaha today, and tho local ofilcers are working on this clue In hope of landing tho criminals behind the bars, and eventually "put a quietus" on these depredations in tlds city. The Ordinance is Now Up to Major Dafal- man to Sign the Document. The proposition for an Independent telephone company . In Omaha to con nect with thousands of Independent teleptiones outside of Omaha has passed its first stage. Now it goes to the mayor, and If he signs the ordinance It goes before the people. Tbe World-Herald expressed con fidence that the council would be faithful to Its pledges to the people, and It was. A few misguided mem bers went on record against tbe meas ure, but in the presence of victory we can for the present overlook their action. They will themselves regret It. And now the Issue is up to Mayor Dahlman. We have no doubt of th outcome. Ills pledge to the people before election has been reinforced by his strong declarations since elec tion. He has told the people he will "deliver the goods," and there can be no doubt tbat he will keep his word. And then the question will be be fore the people or Omaba. What will they do? They will approve It by a vote of two to one. World-Herald. Can you win? i ou realize that to win in anything these days requires strength, with body and mind In tune. A man or woman with disordered di gestive organs Is not In shape for a day's work or a day's play. How can they expect to win?
