Then Leave Friends "Holdinf the
Sack."
At the St. Luke's Episcopal church,
one of tbe most beautiful and elaborate
weddings that bate ever occurred la

beth Aim Dovey and Mr. Rae Francis
Patterson, were united In holy wed
lock by Rev. 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.

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.

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.

BITTER 'PHONE FIGHT ENDS
6rifters of Bell 'Phone In Omaha Are
Defeated b) Independent 'Phone
of This City.
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
