Taking Cyclone Pictures.

the greatest, while the loss of life was
the smallest, their being only one man
killed, and that in the country, and no
one hurt. But the cyclone swept a
strip, a half block wide diagonally
through the entire length' of the city.
He was unable to ship the plates here

self. He will return to that portion of

Out of Business for Three Hours.
Last Saturday Frank Stanley, the

in the west past of the city. In the

of the stock of goods. Now, the ques
tion was to get rid of the goods.
A real estate man selling goods behind
the counter, don't look well. After
Frank had possession of the store just
three hours he sold it back to Mr
Kopia. It don't take Frank Stanley
long to get rid of property when he
starts in to sell. He is a salesman
from a way back, and an awful good
fellow with it.

BROTHER KILLS
LITTLE SISTER
While Playing Brother Throws
Stick at ths Sister.
Small
The Glenwood Tribune tells of a very
peculiar and deplorable accident which
occurred seven miles northwest of that
city, in which a little girl was almost
instantly killed by a sharp stick thrown
by her brother in play, penetrating the
brain at the base of the skull. The
Tribune further says: The two children
had just finished their supper and had
gone out on the lawn in front of the
house. Other members of the family
remained in the house and knew noth
ing or tne accident until alter it was
over. It is said that while the two
children were playing about the yard
they discovered a tucket partially filled
with water. Picking up the pail, Sarah
playfully sprinkled some of the water
on her brother's head. When he told
her to stop she d:d not do so, but con
tinued to splash the water until finally
he picked up a stick about a foot long
and jokingly threatened to strike her
with it if she did not desist.
She did not do as requested and the
brother, who was standing a few feet
away, threw the stick at her in a man
ner which he thought would cause it to
imiss her by a wide margin. Instead,
t whirled from his hand straight for
the little girl's head.striking her at the
back of the ear at the base of the brain.
The girl fell to the ground with a
scream which brought the parents run
ning from the house. The father pick
ed the child up and carried her to the
house and summoned Dr. W. R. Wall,
but the child was dead in a few mo
ments, long before medical assistance
arrived.
Still Branching Out.
Last Saturday a trade was consum
mated by which the Plattsmouth Tele
phone company became possessor of the
Ashland Telephone company. The latter
lines were owned by the Wiggenhorns,
and have now in working order 700
phones. Manager Pollock of the Platts
mouth Telephone company informs the
Journal that they will improve the new
addition, and also run a long distance
line into Ashland right away. The
Plattsmouth company are extending
their line in all directions, and soon it
will be so that you can telephone to any
point over the Plattsmouth lines.
Miss Julia Kerr at Wabash.
The following reference to Miss Julai
Kerr of this city is taken from the Wa
bash item3 in the Elmwood Leader
Echo: "Our school, which has been un
der the supervision of Miss Julia Kerr
of Plattsmouth for the past year, closed
on Tuesday last. A surprise dinner had
been prepared by the parents and friends
of the pupils. At noon the scholars
were formed in double column and
marched to the dining hall. After a
dinner fit for a king, of which the gen
eral public partook, they all returned to
the school house, where a splendid pro
gram was rendered."

WEDDING BELLS
STILL RINGING
The Marriage of Mr. L. W. Lorenz
and Miss Ida Meisinger Solemn
ized This Morning.
We saw two clouds In the morn.
Tinned with the rlsinir sun.
And in the dawn they floated on
And minified Into one.
At the St. John's church this morn
ing, as the hnger of time pointed to l
o'clock, was solemnized the wedding o.
two of our citizens, of whom all feel it
an honor to be called friends.
The ceremony which united L. W.
Lorenz and Miss Ida Meisinger was to
have been at half past nine o'clock, but
the heaviness of the roads prevented its
consummation until a half hour later.
As the clock was chiming the hour and
the church organ, under the inspiring
touch of the deft fingers of Miss Loretta
Scotten, was pealing forth the wedding
march the bridal party entered, the lit
tle ring bearer, Sophia Hild, with the
two ring3 carried in a lilly, in advance,
followed by J. M. Meisinger, the father
of the bride, who was leaning on his
arm, and followed by the maid of honor,
Miss Anna Meisinger, a sister of the
bride, meeting at the altar the groom
and his brother, E. A. Lorenz, the best
man. Here, where they paused. Rev.
Father Bradley taking the rings from
the lilly, gave to each of the contracting
parties the one for the other, and in the
English language pronounced the cere
mony which joined their lives,
while high mas3 was delivered in the
German language, congratulations fol
lowing.
The ceremony consisted of the double
ring ceremony, while the groom placed
the ring upon the finger of the bride,
she likewise placed the ring upon his
finger thus forming a compact endur
ing as time itself. The bride was
beautifully costumed in betiste trimed
witn msn point lace, and carried a
shower bouquet of cream bride's roses
The bridesmaid was gowned in blue
chiffon over silk. TJie groom and
groomsman wore the conventional
black. Immediately after congratula
tions were over the party repaired to
the studio of W. S. Soper, where they
had their pictures taken, and then de
parted for the home of the bride's par
ents, Mr. ar.d Mrs. Meisinger, where
an elegant wedding breakfast was
served. The celebration of the happy
event continuing during the day.
The bride is one of the most hand
some young ladies that one could see in
many a day travel and as good and
kind as she is beautiful. She has grown
from childhood to womanhood in the
neighborhood west of the city, and main
tains the honor ar.d respect as well as
the love of all who know her. The
groom came to this place a number of
years since and by a strict business
integrity has secured the honor and re
spect of a vast number of people. By
his sterling business principles he has
gained a very good business where he,
with his brothers, are still adding to
their list of friends and satisfied patrons.
The newly wedded will not take a
wedding trip but will settle down to
house keeping in the north part of the
city, where they have a home provided
and thoroughly furnished. The Journal
joins with their host of friends in wish
ing then happiness and prosperity in
their new life, and may it be replete
with the graces which go to make the
best in life in all its circumstances.
And may their life be as free from
these things which distract from its
full enjoyment.
Surprise Their Friend.

WHERE QUALITY COUNTS
Fremcnt Bridge in Danger.
For several days there has been no
train to this city on the Sioux City
branch, on account of the high water.
A special from Fremont, under date of
yesterday says: High water in the
Platte early this morning took out one
pier underneath the Burlington railroad
company's big steel bridge south of
Fremont. The pier wa3 carried two
hundred yards down stream. The two
span3 which it supported at one end
both sagged down almost to the water
line. Today the Burlington ran no
trains over its line south of Fremont.
It is likely it will be several days be
fore the bridge can be put in repair.
Commencing this afternoon, the Bur
lington's passenger trains use the
Northwestern line between Fremont
and Lincoln.
The June rise is the highest ever
known. Had it not been for the dykes
and levees above Fremont, the south
part of the city undoubtedly would
have been flooded as it has been many
times before. The dyke3 held out
against the heavy pressure of water.
Members of the dyke board and a gang
of workman remained on the dykes all
day to make repairs in case there should
be any breaks. This morning the
water came out over the first lowland
north of the wagon bridge, inundate
ing probably twenty acres. Teams
in order to reach the wagon bridge had
to wade knee-deep in water. Water
also came out below the Burlington
bridge as far as the packing house
property. It flooded pasture land, do
ing but little damage.
Tetter Cured
A lady customer of ours had suffered
with tetter for two or three years. It
got so bad on her hands that she could
not attend to her household duties. One
box of Chamberlain's Salve cured her.
Chamberlain's medicines give splendid
satisfaction in this community. M. H.

A Difficult Job.
C. Hites & Son, who are working on
a well for August Gorder, is now down
to a distance of 260 feet with no water.
They have been working on the well for
the past two and a half months, and
after the first ninety feet found solid
rock. After going through a consider
able thickness of which they came to
clay again and passed through a layer
of thirty-five feet, then rock again. In
the distance now gone they have drilled
through 133 feet of solid rock, with
water still to get.
If you would enjoy tomorrow take
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab
ets tonight. They produce an agree
able laxative effect, clear the head and
dense the stomach. Price, 25 cents..
