AN EARLY HORN
ING WEDDING
Two of Piattsmouth's Young People
Marry, and Depart for
Wedding Trip.
Age teaches slyness and great exper
ience, deftness of action, and the more
advances in years a couple gets the
more cute in the matter of keeping the
celebration of their wedding from the
public, until they shall wonder at the
contract being made. This morning
Fredricj von Oldenhausen jr., secured
a permit to wed is dulcina del Tabosa,
immediately hieing himself to her home
he and Mrs. Lulu Howard went to the
parsonage of minister of the S. Paul's
church, the Rev. J. F. Langhorst, and
in the presence of the sister of the
groom and her husband, Mr. and Mrs.
Peter Evers, were united in wedlock.
The newly married couple immediately
departed on the Missouri Pacific train
for Nebraska City, and from thence
they will visit also at Fall City and
Wymore, returning after a few days,
will make their home in Plattsmouth,
where the bride and groom both now
live. Both the contracting parties are
well and favorably known to our citiz
ens. The Journal wishes , themt an
abundance of happiness and prosperity
in their new estate.
Best the World Affords
"It gives me unbounded pleasure to
recommend Bucklen's Arnica Salve,
says J.W. Jenkins of Chapel Hill, N.C.
"I am convinced it's the best salve the
world affords. It cured a felon on my
thumb, and it never fails to heal every
sore, burn or wound to which it is ap
plied. 25c. at F. C. Fricke & Co. drug
store.
Save Cash Register Receipts.
I have noticed that during the past
few days the floors of my stores are
littered with cash register receipts. I
wish, you to remember that these are
valuable, as they can help win the $400
piano when it shall be given away. If
you are not making an effort to secure,
the piano yourself, save them for your
friends, your church or school. They
will count in the end and the very num
ber which you throw away might win
this fine instrument.

MARJORIE AGKEW
A Host of Her Young Friends Make a
Pleasant Afternoon Yesterday.
At the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. D. Jones yesterday afternoon was
the scene of a crowd of happy young
people, who had gathered to give a fare
well reception to their friend. Miss
Marjorie Agnew, who is to depart for
her home at Los Angeles next Sunday.
The company was called together by
Miss Emma Stanfiekt Jones by invita
tions for a Kensington, and a most en
joyable time was had One game which
was played by the young ladies was
known as the "Eternal Question," and
consisted by writing, on a piece of paper
each one's idea of what a man should
be. This was read by some one select
ed, and each description was read, those
present guessing who the writer was
from their delineation of the "Ideal
Man." This furnished a great deal of
amusement for the gay group. Fol
lowing was a candy contest, in which
the king prize was won by Miss Gretchen
Donnelly, and the consolation prize by
Miss Helen Spies. After this they sat
down to an elegant three-courpe
luncheon, served by the Miss Katherine
Oliver, Lillie Dwyer and Zora Smith.
While the decorations of the table were
of the Fourth of July style, the center
piece being Panticobons in blue, sur
rounded by delacated green, with covers
laid for twenty, and the dining room
decorated with garden flowers. '
The guests found their places at the
table by a peculiarly arranged scheme,
which was both unique and entertain
ing. During the luncheon the guests
each propounded a conundrum, which
was to be guessed by some one present,
during which a very enjoyable time was
had.
Up to this time all had been uncon
scious of a fact, which Miss Marjorie
Agnew, the guest of honor, arose and
made known at the conclusion of the
repast. She called attention that the
hostess, Miss Emma Stanfield Jones,
had on that day just completed her ma
jority, and was then passing her eigh
teenth milestone. The pleasant after
noon which she and those gathered
there were furnishing for their friend,
was also marking the eighteenth birth
day of the hostess. And then arose from
the table and joined in singing "Old
Lang Sine," after which, with the best
of wishes for a safe journey for Miss
Marjary to her western home and
pleasant memories of her visit here,
they parted. The present and to add to
the enjoyment of the afternoon, were:
Mioses Helen Dovey, Marie Langhorst,
Esther Larson, Helen Spies, Frances
Weidman, Marjorie Agnew, Emma and
Elizabeth Falter, Henrietta Martin,
Lena Fricke, Ella Margaret Dovey,
Mathilde and Christine Soennichsen,
Ellen and Kathryn Windham, Gretchen
Donnelly and Clare Huberle, of Ne
braska City.
Remember His Birthday
Ii. G. Larson was born in Sweden July
9, 1853. He is just 55 years of age to-
j day, and has charge of the repairs go
ing on at the Wescott block which was
so badly damaged at the time of the
fllood some ten or more days since.
Those working on the job with him,
among whom were Uncle Clarence Wes
cott, his two sons, C. C. and E. H.
Wescott, and a number of fellow work
man, to demonstrate they were glad
they were in the land of the living, and
that, notwithstanding floods, droughts,
and all other kinds of pestilences, they
rejoiced in giving their friends a good
time, secured a rope and kindly, but
firmly bound Mr. Larson, and bending
him over a carpenter's tressle, gave
him 55 taps, each indicating one year of
his life, filled with joy or sorrow, work
or recreation, or what ever the cup
might have contained, and an extra, ac
companied with the best wishes for him
and his future prosperity. With the
spanking which they gave, their actions
said, though gray hairs have for many
years graced some of their heads they
are still boys in spirit, and like a frolic
once in a while.
Want the Street Closed.
: The street which has been in contro
versy for so long, extending from the
point on Chicago avenue, where the
same turns south, near where George
Mapes. formerly lived, and extending
east through the pasture to one block
north of the Fifth ward school house,
and which the citizens and the city have
been endeavoring so long to force open,
is now up again for consideration. This
time there is a petition being industri
ously circulated for the permanent clos
ing of the street. What will be done in
this matter is not yet known, as time
alone will develop.
Call Omaha over the Independent
telephone.
Thomas Seagraves and Wm. Heer, of
Cherokee, Iowa, where they are em
ployed aa attendents at the state hospi
tal, departed for their home this after
noon after having visited at the home
of the former's parents, John Sea
graves, sr., and wife, and were accom
panied as far as Omaha by John Sea

Two suasions of the convention wcrj

Bryan tie moustratlon brecking all
rK-ordj In duration; the second at 8 p.
m. briosring the culmination of the
ntntpgle over the credentials of the
Pennsylvania elelegatlon and the stt
premacy of the Pennsylvania leader,
Colonel Guffey, who had been de
nounced by Bryan. Outside of the
convention the committee proceeded
with the serious work of preparing the
way 'for convention action. The cre
dentials committee had unseated eight
of Colonel Ouffey's anti-Bryan Penn
sylvania delegates, thus reversing the
complexion of the Pennsylvania dele
gation from anti-Bryan to Bryan, and
precipitating the intense controversy
which was fought out at the night
session of the convention.
Great Bryan Demonstration.
The noon meeting of the convention
was productive of little practical pro
gress, but it had the effect of the ex
plosion of long pent-up Bryan enthus
iasm, which took the- signal from Sen
ator (lore's eloquent reference to the
Nebraska leader, and burst Into a
whirlwind of enthusiastic tribute last

hour and twenty-six minutes, or full
thirty-nine minutes in excess of Boos

held the record until now.
Six Standard "Stand Pat."
It was a decisive exhibition of the
over-mastering strength of the Bryan
column, and one of the most dramatic
convention pictures ever presented, as
the standards of the states were torn
from their moorings and borne throrg'i
the hall until they stood together on
the phitfonn like an army of banners,
proclaiming their united allegiance to
Bryan. Amid this storm of Bryan
demonstration the six standards of
New York, New Jersey, IH-Iaware,
Georgia, Minnesota and Connecticut
stood rooted to their places, the rally
ing points of little groups unmoved
by the frenzied scenes about them.
Throughout the hour and nineteen
minutes the deafeuing uproar con
tinued, ebbing and flowing in luteusi
ty, women joining with the men in
bearing tn Bryan standards aloft,
while the whole assemblage of I'J.OOO
people joined in the tumultuous demon
stration. The early session lasted
three hours and then, worn out with
exertion and lacking the material to
proceed with business, the convention
recessed until nignt.

Tt was loug after the hour set before

Chairman Kell was not to be found for
Kereral mfimtes. But he finally appear

vention to order. Then, instead of
proceeding to business, Representative
llobson was permitted to address the
convention on the wces-siry of prepar
ing for war with Japan. He was guyed
from start to tiulsh, and made little im

Bitten By a Dog.
Night before last. while one of the
Journal carriers. August Hesse, was
making his rounds he was attacked by
a vicious dog at the corner of Fourtl
and Pearl streets as he. was passiDg the

lady who released the dog, -stepped intor
the house as the little fellow came along
with his papers, the dog pounced upon
the boy, grasping the right leg about
midway between the ankle and knee,
sinking his teeth into the tender flesh,
making a severe wound. The dog was
beaten off and the little fellow taken to
the doctor, who dressed and cauterized
the wound. Little August is confined
to his home on account of the attack.
It is hoped be will soon be able to get
around again. These fierce dogs are a

Reverses the Standing
Delegation Giving

o. very .long ago, . the president af the
United Btates said in my presence
there exists the greatet probability
of a war with Japan." "No, no, come
off," ahouted'the crowd, and there was
an outburst of cries which continued
for several minutes. lie was con
tantly interrupted, and finally closed
with a plea for a big nary. The ch;r
then said that 1 j hailed from the
Pacific coast, "and-nrp to the present
moment he ha seen.no occasion to en

Colonel Haldeman. of Kentucky, re.
plied to llobson, declaring that the

any other nation. Then Charles A.

very Iwief address, and waa followed
by Delegate Taylor, of Tennessee, who

its import was red by Chairman Cal

CaUaghan proceeded to read that tho

In the matter of the contest from the
First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth

we recommend that the contestant

This report reversed the standing of
the Pennsylvania delegation, giving it
to Bryan. The jminorlty report was
then presented by J. I,. Straus, of

Straus followed for the minority re

its adoption. John I). Bellamy, of
North Carolina, followed Straus fpr the
minority report and asserted that the

their votes counted. This brought out
a storm of dissent. Governor Haskell,
