On Friday, October 2i, l'JOft, Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Patterson, living south west of town, observed their golden wedding anniversary, after a life of wedded bliss for fifty years. On this occasion their home was the scene of a happy reunion of their family of eight grown children, with the excep tion of one daughter, two brothers and one sister of Mrs. Patterson also being present. While this golden wedding was only a home affair it was an event in me history of the Patterson family that will never fado from memory's pages of those whom are nearest and dearest to father and mother. And yet, while Mr. and Mrs. Patterson are rapidly nearing the sunset of life, they are un usually hearty reople of their ages, and as long as memory shall serve them they can never forget this par ticular home-gathering of their chil dren and the love and kindness shown them. There was no arch of Mowers and lace, nor was there an oillclatlng clergyman to reunite the aged couple In the holy bonds of matrimony, but there were the wedding presents which consisted of a liberal gift of gold coin from each of the children. This gift was put into the nanas or ine eiaer brother of the aged bride who pre sented the same In a few well chosen words, and If there were any dry eyes In the house at the close of Mr. Town- r's talk, they were the eyes of the pictures on the wall. Mr. L. W. Patterson and Miss M. E. Towner were united in marriage at Rock Rlufls, Cass county, Nebraska, on the 20th day of October, 1350. To this union nine children were born, all of whom are now living and enjoy ing good health, with the exception of one twin born dead, Mrs. L Joy, of Rydal, being the living twin. A wedding Is Incomplete without a feast and the spread on this occasion was one of the principal features of the day, as photographer Jennings can testify Joe went out to take a picture of the wedding group and was honored with a seat at the table. Af ter dinner the picture was taken on the lawn with the house, which Mr and Mrs. Patterson have called"home' for so many years, for a back-ground, The children present were Mrs. Mira K. McDonnell and Mrs. Etta M, Moore, of Murray, Neb ; Howard W, Patterson, of Mankato, Kan.; (Mrs Relic Moore, of Fruita, Colo., comes next In age but was not present on this occasion) Lilly E.Joy, of Rydal Kan ; L.

In addition to the above the Jour nal desires to add to the same that this worthy couple were the first couple married in Rock Bluffs, a,od that the brothers and sisters present at the golden wedding were present when the blushing bride was led to the bymenlal altar 50 years ago. The knot was tied by the then County Judge Wolf, and It teems that he tied It so tight that it has not slipped In all these 50 years of a happy married life.

The death of Harvey Daniels oc curred at 12:.W p. m. on Tuesday, November G, at the borne of bis sister, Mrs. Michael Glsh, east of this village The deceased was thirty-eight years of age, and bis home was at Edgemont, D., where he had been a railroad mploye. Ills health had been falling, and about two weeks ago he came here to visit and recuperate. He continued to grow worse, having heart trouble, which was the direct cause of bis death. He had served four years in the U. S. navy, and was always known as an honorable and upright man. The funeral services were held yester day afternoon at Sciota school house, conducted by W. A Taylor of this lllage, and the remains were laid to rest In the Elton cemetery. Union Ledger. The Death of a Prince. prince of a royal family died re cently, In hi 4 best age and surrounded comfort and luxury and by the most skilled physicians. He died of exhaustion, due to his extravagant hunt for pleasure, and to a continuous excitement. This same condition will be found also among the working classes; many of our working men and women do not get as much rest as they should, but they also waste their time and health in exhausting entertain ments. They often return to their work tired and Indisposed, but do not mind It, even if this con dition returns quite often. They fail to notice that their complexion Is paler, their strength diminished, their appetite weakened. This opens the gates to lurking diseases. A few doses of Trlner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine will always dispel these symp toms. It will in every case regulate the digestion, purify the blood and strengthen the whole nervous system. Try It as soon as your appetite will not be as good as usual. At drug stores. Jos. Trlner, 7!W So. Ashland Ave., Chicago, III. Lost A lady's gold watch and fob engraved with the letter "II."

Read AMAZED BY LUCKY ESCAPE Team Attached to Lumber Wajon, Ceo tiinlrg Til Men, Misses Bridge. WHOLE OUTFIT TUMBLES FROM BANK Inta Ditch, Twenty Feet Deep, and Be yond Several Bruises and Scratches the Men Escape Uninjured. On account of darkness an accident, that might have resulted very serious to the principals, occurred while two men were driving home from town In a lumber wagon. The affair referred to happened a few nights since about half past eight o'clock, as the men were driving along Fifteenth street. The night was exceedingly dark, and the men were depending upon the team to fol low the road, but this the animals failed to do, when near the bridge midway between Oak and Locust streets, with the result that the whole outfit tumbled from the bank Into the ditch, which Isover twenty feet deep, on the east side of the bridge. In falling down the steep bank the heavy wagon was hurled over and to one side of the horses, while one of the occupants fell Into a puddle of water, and the other was thrown between the frightened horses. When the two men managed to pull themselves upon the bank, a hasty in ventory disclosed the fact, that, be yond a mud bath, several bruises and scratches, and a bad scare, they bad escaped uninjured. Their attention was then turned to the team which was tangled up In the harness and attached to the wagon. After cutting a few straps the ani mals were freed from their equipage and taked from the ditch without any serious iojury having been sustained by eitherof them. This approach to the bridge should be inspected, and a fence orsome work that would prevent another such ac cident should be done at once, and thus relieve the city of any damage suits., Croup.
