WEDDED AT SOUTH
OMAHA YESTERDAY
Miss Fay Eades and Dr. W.
W. Ward Married at Home
of Bride's Parents.
One of the most beautiful home wed
dings it has been our pleasure to chron
icle, occurred at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. C. E. Eads in South Omaha last
evening, when Miss Fay, their beauti
ful daughter, was united in marriage to
Dr. W. W. Ward of Omaha.
For several weeks the event has been
looked forward to with considerable in
terest by those who have known the
young lady most intimately from child
hood to beautiful womanhood, with
many of whom she was a great favor
ite.
The entire house had been very taste
fully decorated for the event, the par
lor, where the ceremony was performed,
being more highly adorned than the
others.. In the center of the room a
large wedding bell was suspended from
the ceiling, with rows of smaller bells
hung around. When the hour for the
sacred words to be said arrived the happy
bride entered the room upon the arm of
her father, followed by F. J. O'Hanlan
and Miss Ruth Johnson as best man and
bridesmaid, and as fhey proceeded to
the center of the room the wedding
march was played in fine style by Mas
ter Howard Foster, only seven years of
age, and a cousin to the groom. There
they were met by Rev. Wheeler of the
First Presbyterian church of South Om
aha, who, according to the marriage
ritual of that church united in the holy
bonds of matrimony Dr. W. W. Ward
and Miss Fay Eades, the ring service being
used. During prayer, which followed,
the bride and groom knelt on a white
satin pillow immediately under the large
bell.
The bride was handsomely gowned in
white, carrying bride's roses, while the
bridesmaid, Miss Ruth Johnson of Platts
mouth, wore cream silk and carried pink
roses. The groom and assistant were
neatly attired in the usual conventional
black. After the ceremony was con
eluded and congratulations, an elegant
three course luncheon was served, the
table and dining room being beautifully
decorated the table with American
beauty roses and smilax, after which
punch was served in a very elaborate
manner, with Miss Edith Cressey pre
siding at the punch bowl.
Only the relotives of the contracting
parties and their most intimate friends
were present to witness the haDDV
J event, and it will be almost impossible
if or the Journal to give the bride as much
the decoration of the rooms and every-
thing connected with the service were
elaborate and grand in their entire
make-up. The happy couple departed
soon after the wedding for Minneapolis,
St. Paul and the northern lakes, where
they will remain for about three weeks,
and will be at home to her friends after
August 1.
&
The bride is the eldest daughter of
jjr anci jjrs Eades, and was reared to
womanhood in Plattsmouth, where she
was very popular among all who knew
her. She is, we dare say, one of the
most beautiful, accomplished and
charming young ladies in Eastern Ne-
! braska, and the Journal, who knew
j Miss Fay so well, considers Dr. Ward
a very lucky man in securing such a
valuable prize. By profession Dr. Ward
j is a dentist, and enjoys a very lucrative
practice in Omaha, where his friends
are legion, and where he is highly honored
for his noble quality, honesty and inter-
gnty. xne journal joins the many
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ward in wish
ing them long life, attended by all the
joys and happiness that can possibly be
meted out to them.
Missouri Pacific in Trouble Again.
Yesterday afternoon just north of
Mynard a Missouri Pacific freight train
was wrecked by the rails spreading and
allowing some nine cars and the way
car to leave the track. All trains were
delayed from the time of the wreck at
one o'clock in the afternoon until three
o'clock this morning, when the track
was cleared for their passage. The
road seems to be playing in hard lines,
and trouble comes thick.
Ball Game Saturday.
The ball game of the season will be
played next Saturday, at 2:30 in the af
ternoon. The contest will be between
the Royal Achades, of Omaha, and the
Red Sox, of this city. The former is
rated as one of the swiftest amateur
teams in the metropolis, and the Red
box will have to go some to hold them
level. Make up your mind to go and
see one of the best games ever played
in Plattsmouth.
Mr?. J. C. Peterson returned home
this morning from Burlington and Da-
venpart, la., where at the latter place
she visited with their daughter, Mrs. L.
W. Barger, for some time. She reports
Mr. Barger just returning from the fu

Governor Sheldon has issued the foil
ing flag day proclamation:
The perpetual life of our nation de
pends upon the zeal with which the
individual American assumes and dis
charges the responsibilities of citizen
ship, t
Our flag is a sacred emblem. It
snoujci not De used ior base purposes
nor so commonly displayed as to detract
from our reverence for it.
The flag displayed recalls the scenes
of hardships and deprivation endured by
our patriots under its unfurled folds.
The reciation of these tales of danger
and of suffering for the sake of "Old
Glory," is a patriotic inspiration to the
growing generation. It gives hope to
the despondent, confidence to the dis
couraged and strength to the weak.
The custom of appointment one day
in the year for a general display of our
flag must be conducive to better citizen
ship.
Now, therefore, I, George Lawson
Sheldon, governor of the state of Ne
braska, do hereby designate June 15,
1908, as flag day, and recommend that
this day be generally observed by the
citizens of this state. Let the flag of
our nation float on that day over public
and private buildings, over factories
and homes, over schoolhouses and
churches, thereby giving renewed ex
pression to our faith in all for which it
stands better enabling: us to more
faithfully and conscientiously discharge
our duties as citizens.
May "The star-spangled banner; Oh,
long may it wave o'er the land of the
free and the home of the brave," be
the prayer of every American citizens.
W. R. Ward, of Dyersburg, Tenn.,
writes: "This is to certify that I have
used Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup for
chronic constipation, and it has proven,
without a doubt, to be a thorough,
practical remedy for this trouble, and
it is with pleasure I offer my conscien
tious reference."
Cut Your Weeds.
Every resident should at least feel
sufficient pride within himself to keep
the weeds down around his
whether he owns the property or not.
It is a shame the way some residents
permit the weeds to "grow around their
property. It does not denote the best
of citizenship, but rather places such
citizens on the indolent, lazy side of the
population. The Fourth of July will
soon be here, and our citv will ,f filioH
with strangers, and how will these weed
patches look to them? It will appear
to them that Plattsmouth has a w f
citizens who are almost too lazy to sur
vive. Cut the weeds in your vard and
in front of yourhomes. The city should
cut the weeds in the streets, and no
doubt will before the Fourth.
