Left for Boise City. Idaho.
Noel I. Kiwis, who has served in
the capacity of local reporter for the
Journal for the past fifteen months,
departed this afternoon for Boise City,
Idaho, where he goes to accept a sim
ilar position on the Daily State Cap
ital, of which Mi!ton D. Polk, form
erly editor of the News of this city, is
managing editor. Mr. Bawls is a
young man of energy and his qualifi
cations are such as to tit him for the
position he goes to accept. His asso
ciations with the Journal force have
been of that nature as to endear him
to all, and it is more like parting with
a relative than anything else. Noel
possesses the faculty of making friends
wherever he goes, and while the
Journal regrets to part with him, his
condition, we feel will be greatly ben
efitted by the change. The best wishes
of the Journal force, from devil to ed
itor, attend him in his new home.

Must Wait Six Months.
J udge Sutton of Omaha has hit upon
an effective plan to prevent divorcees
of a few days from defeating the will
of the Nebraska law. The law forbids
remarriage within sis month, but
those that are divorcees have found it
convenient to slip over tc Council
Bluffs and have the knot tied where
no such restriction exists. Judge Sut
ton now refuses to sign a decree
granted in his court until after the
expiration of six months, making it
impossible for immediate remarriage
without committing bigamy.

One of the most beautiful weddings
that ever occurred in Plattsmouth was
the marriage of Mr. John Casper
Thygeson ot Nebraska City, and Miss
Minnie White, at St. Luke's Episco
pal church, last evening, Canon Bur
gess, therector, pronouncing the beau
tiful words that united thetwo hap
py hearts.
Promptly at half-past eight the brid
al party entered the church in the fol
lowing order, headed by the following
bridesmaids and groomsmen:
Miss Jcanette Morgan and Henry
Goos, t lie lady attired in a gown of
white Swiss and lace: hat of whitechif
fon, white plumes and pink roses, and
carrying pink carnations.
Miss Florence White and Mr. Allan
R. Wilson, of Nebraska City, Miss
White wearing a white Swiss gown
and lace; white chiffon hat, pink roses
and plumes, carrying pink carnations.
Miss Rertha White, of Omaha, cous
in of the bricle, and Mr. Thomas Rod
dy, of Nebraska City, the lady donned
in embroideried Swiss and lace, made
princess, wearing white chiffon hat
with plumes and roses, carrying car
nations. Miss Mamie Thygeson, sister of the
groom, and Mr. Henry Gering, Miss
Thygeson wearing a gown of white
silk chiffon and point lace, and hat
of white chiffon with plumes and or
chids. Then came Miss Antonia Kessler, of
Lincoln, maid of honor, gowned in ex
quisite white embroideried organdy
over pink silk, wearing a hat of Rat
tenburg, crown of pink roses and rib
bon. The party was followed by the ring
bearer, little ?-Iiss Margaret Donelan,
of Weeping Water, a neice of the
bride, attired in a white emoroideried
Swiss dress, point lace bertha and chif
fon, pink stockings and slippers, bear
ing the ring on a calla lily.
Next in order came the bride, lean
ing on her father's arm, beautifully
gowned in shear French lawn, with
Valeneenes lace draped with carna
tions, crwon of pearls, carrying bridal
roses.
The bridal party proceeded to the
altar, where they were met by the
groom and best man, Mr. Ralph
White, brother of the bride. Roth
gentlemen were attired in full dress.
Miss Kittie Cummins, who presided
at the organ, played Lobengren's wed
ding march in her own sweet manner.
Miss Cummins wore a dress of white
silk, hat of white lace and plumes.
After the ceremony at the church, a
quiet reception of near friends was
held at the home of the bride's par
ents, after which the happy couple de
parted on No. 13 for Omaha, and from
there east, where they will visit the
principal points of interest, including
the Jamestown exposition.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. A. W. White of Plattsmouth,
where she was reared to womanhood,
and is loved for her many fine traits of
character. In fact "no one knew her
but to love her," is fully verified in
her every day walks of life. She is a
most charming young lady, and the
groom is very fortunate in securing
such a prize.
The groom is a young man whose
character is above reproach, and is
highly esteemed by all who know him.
For several years he was a resident of
this city, being a clerk inF. G. Fricke's
drug store. lie is now engaged in the
drug business at Nebraska City, where
his friends is legion, and where Mr.
and Mrs. Thygeson will be at home to
their friends after June 12.
The Journal joins the many friends
of the bride and groom in wishing
them a long life of usefulness and may
prosperity ever attend them.
Slightly in Error.
Ed Petersen of llavelock, who has
been in Plattsmouth for the past few
days owning to the serious illness of
his mother, called at the Journal of
fice yesterday evening, after the pub
lication of the paper, in response to
the artiele headed "Why ne Was Not
Here," referring to his nephew, Geo.
Brown. Mr. Petersen wished us to
state that a portion of the article was
an error where it stated that "Mr.
Brown was not here to accompany his
mother's remains to Lincoln." Mr.
Petersen says Mr. Brown was here
and not only accompanied the remains
to their late home in Lincoln, but also
to the old home in Indiana, where his
mother was laid to rest. The article
was in no way detrimental to Mr.
Brown as it appeared in the Lincoln
paper, and was no more than what
any other young man would do under
thecircumstances. The Journal cheer
fully corrects the error as stated
above.
TO CUT OFFICIAL PIE SOON
Attorney Rawls Declined the Position of
Prirate Secretary to Gov. Sheldon
There is ono good trait In Governor
Sheldon, possessed by but few in olll
cial position, and that Is he doe not
forget his friends in his home county
when it conies to dishing out political
pit. In speaking of those who are
liable to tare well at the state lunch
counter, the Lincoln News says:
It is becoming pretty generally
known what Gov. Sheldon has in view
regarding some of the appointments
at his diposal. although no announce
ments have yet come from the execu
tive otlice. Regarding the P''Nt of
private secretary to the governor it
may be stated on good authority that
A. R. Allen, the present incumbent,
will continue to till it indefinitely.
Some observant people thought when
Secretary Allen movd his family back
toTecumseh, it was a sign that he
would soon retire, but Gov. Sheldon
has not shown any intention to make
a change and has not even considered
naming a successor to Mr. Allen it is
said. At the outset of his term, he
did offer the position of private secre
tary in turn to V.. II. Ilayward of Ne
braska City and County Attorney ('.
A. Rawls of Plattsmouth, but both
men declined and since then the gov
ernor has not bothereddiimself to find
a new private secretary. The rumor
that he was about to pick a Lincoln
man for the place seems to be without
good foundation.
Rurrett Rush of Omaha, is still nom
inally the head of the state labor and
statistical bureau, but his resignation
has been placed in the governor's
hands. It will undoubtedly be accept
ed and everybody expects that Don C.
Respain, who has been serving as chief
clerk of that department, will be given
Rush's job, the legislature having been
unkind enough to abolish his own by
taking away the salary. State house
wiseacres say that Pespain's appoint
ment will date to the first of next year.
In the meantime, Senator Norris
Rrown may help him to a place in the
federal service.
Fisher Adjudged Insane.
The board of insanity last, evening
examined Frank Fisher, who has been
confined under surveilance at the Per
kins house for about two weeks, in re
gard to his sanity and adjudged him a
subject for treatment at the asylum
for insane in Lincoln. The patient
was taken to Lincoln this morning by
Sheriff Quinton.
Fisher is the man who was struck
by a train while he was walking en
the tracks near Oreapolis. After be
iner confined at the Perkins house to
recover from the injuries received, he
became troublesome, crawling down
stairs and endeavoring to get away,
while still badly crippled up as a re
sult of the collision with a Burlington
freight. He was placed under vigil
ance but during a night last week,
managed to get a window open and
was in the act of throwing himself to
the ground, when Johnnie Fitzpatrick
grappled with him until assistance ar
rived.
Several months after the street fair
held in this city last July, he brought
suit against the police to recover $5000
damages for being arrested and incar
cerated in the county bastile for fifteen
hours. The action was subsequently
settled and dismissed and the man ap
parently forgotten until he tried to
blockade a freight.
The Man From Missouri.
Through the courtesy of the Ne
braska City News, we are the recipi
ent of the latest advertising literature
of the Nebraska Business University.
President Toland is not only a liberal
advertiser, but he is also past master
of the art of preparing convincing ad
vertisements. The Man from Missouri
is the clearest case of "show me" ever
offered by a school. It is good reading
from "kiver to kiver" and like all ad
vertising issued by the Toland schools
is free from the bragging, unreason
able claims and promises for which
most business college literature is not
ed. It will pay any one to send for it
and can be secured free of cost from
the Nebraska Business University,
Nebraska City, Neb.
From Father to Son.
It seems to us that the usual prac
tice at present is that the young man
reared in comfort, wants to spend as
much or more than his father, with
out trying to earn any money. He
wants to begin life where his father
left off forgetting that the father
gathered his wealth by labor and
thrift and that he was sustained ty
robust health. Dissipation in youth
is the best one. Those who bad no
opportunity to build up their body
and those whose digestive organsoften
refuse to work, should use Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine. It
will within a reasonable time give
perfect strength to them and will
keep them in condition to take the
risk and responsibilities cf our modern
life. LTse it in all cases where your
appetite or your bodily strength is di
minishing, where your complexion is
pale, your mind tired. At drugstores.

The
Father of Miss Myrtle Lambert in
Plattsmouth Looking For Her
ALSO THE SHERIFF OF CUSTER COUNTY
Father Claims the Girl Was Not of Aga
and he Wishes Phi I p ot Punished
It will be remembered by the Jour
nal readers that George Philpot and
Miss Myrl le Lammert, both of Custer
county, Nebraska, appeared at the
county judge's ollice last Saturday and
demanded a marriage license, young
Philpot giving his age as 21, and the
girl IS. The girl looked entirely too
young for the age given, and when
questioned in regard to the same she
made allidavit to that elTect, and the
license wa? granted, and the knot was
tied by Judge Archer, and they went
on their way rejoicing. They have
not since teen heard of, but the girl's
angry father was not so easily satisfied,
and in company with the sherilT of
Custer county appeared in Platts
mouth yesterday in search of the run
away pair, with a wairant for Phil
pot's arrest on a charge of kidnapping,
and was somewbat disappointed to
find that the young couple had disap
peared. Young Philpot had been in Platts
mouth several days prior to the mar
riage, and claimed to be working in
the B. .S: M. shops, and Miss Lammert
made her lirst appearance here on last
Thursday, and applied for a position
at the Plattsmouth Hotel, where she
worked from Thursday to Saturday,
and both parties took their departure
the following evening.
The young couple were accompa
nied by one George Taylor, who also
lives in Custer county, who was im
mediately arrested on the same charge
when he returned home and was only
released, according to the sheriff's
story, upon a bond of $2000.00.
Mr. Lammert says his daughter was
but seventeen years of age, and La
seems bent on finding the newly made
husband and will exert every possible
means of sending the young man to
the penitentiary. Perhaps he will
change his mind when he returns
home it certainly would be the bet
ter judgment.
