BRAHNS6GL0EH WEDDING
Life, with all its stem realities,
occasionally breaks out In a halo of
light and joy so resplendent the
clouds vanish far in the distance and
we dwell In the realms of ecstacy for
a time. Perhaps the pleasant eveut
at the Worley home Saturday even
ing might have been the counterpart
of this when the members of the
Eastern Star and a few friends as
sisted Mr. and Mrs. George W. Wor
ley in celebrating their golden wed
ding anniversary, there being fifty
present.
The house was decorated with a
profusion of Kilarney roses and mis
tletoe, the latter being the gift of
Mr. ('has. Rlvett, of Springfield, Ore.,
and sent expressly for this occasion.
The time wa3 spent in various amuse
ments and refreshments were served.
A huge wedding cake was the center
of attraction at the )ride's table.
Toward the close of the evening
Mr. and Mrs. Worley were presented
with a set of solid silver, a set of P.ne
china, handsomely decorated In gold
and Inlaid with opaleseents, and a
souvenir spoon bearing the Eastern
Star emblem. Mr. Win. Minford act
ed as master of ceremoniis In pre
senting the gifts, and his remarks
were most appropriate for tho occa
sion. Mrs. Worley, as a sister lodge
worker, made the response In word?
of thanks, whh h expressed their deep
appreciation.
The occasion will long be remem

TO MAKE THE OLD
' LIKE THE MAIN LINE
The Missouri Pacific through Louis
ville is soon to become the principal
or main line between Omaha and
Kansas City. This is said to be the
decision of the officials of the road
after having made a careful Investi
catlon of all the conditions existing.
Tho main line now runs along the
eastern border of the county through
Union and Plattsmouth. It has no
right-of-way from Omaha to the place
about one mile south of Avery, where
the trains are switched from the
Union Pacific track and it Is claimed
that tho rate charged by the Union
Pacific company for the use of the
track for this distance is the immedi
ate cause for changing tho main Hue.
The road running through Louisville
was used for the main line up, to a
few years ago but owing to Its poor
condition, the shorter route wn3
selected.
Tho old lino has been used for
branch service, the road bed has been

"James O'Connell, president of the
machinists; J. A. Franklin, president
of the boilermakers; J. V. Kline,
president of the blacksmiths, and
John E. Bray, secretary of the sheet
