CISE SETTLED
Sarpy County Pays Cass County
$3,000 and the Costs of
Litigation.
Tin1 famous bridge case that
has been in lit is-r:it ii m lid, with
Cass ami Sarpy count ifs fop the
last twelve years, and which has
.been in the supreme court, of the
stale live limes, has finally been
settled by Sarpy county paying
Cass comity .fCt.Ono and I he costs
of the case, which will amount to
considerable.
The case started over repairing
the bridge at Louisville, in which
this county sought to have Sarpy
county pay their share, and it has
been fought through all the courts
and the .supreme court , has
granted new trials several limes.
This is a very favorable settle
ment and reflects great credit
upon County Attorney Taylor, who
looked after the interests of
Cass county in the matter.
The bride over which the con
troversary started has long ago
been washed out, and the toll
bridge over the river at Louisville
is owned by a stock company.

REPORTS MUCH EXAGERATED
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY
THE INSANITY BOARD
If! SESSION TO-DAY
Two Parties Pronounced Insane
and Will Be Taken to the
Asylum at Lincoln.
There ha- been a great many
vvild-eved rumor- circulating
throughout the county concern
ing the prevalence of contagious
di-ea-e- in this city and that
there were a great number of
ca-i - of -earlet fever and diph
I heria here. There has been a
small number of these cases, but
in every instance they have been
very mild ca-es, in fact in many of
them the parlies having the dis
ease have not even been contined
to I heir beds fnp more t ban a day
or .-0. and Ihe physicians a
health department have placed
ipiaranl ines on the homes .-o af
llicted. Thai the diseases are not
verv numerous can be shown by
the fact that the al tendance in the
public schools has not fallen cm,
with the exception of a few chil
dren whose families are quaran
tined. These reports in regard to
the spread of the diseases are en
tirely without foundation and
should be so regarded by all to
where they are told, as the general
condition of the health of the city
was inner better.
Yesterday at high noon, nt the
home of the bride's parents, Mr
and Mrs. r . J. Ilennings, near
Cedar Creek, occurred the wedding
of Mr. Will II. Meisinger and Miss
Louisa Ilennings, the ceremony
being performed by Hev. J. Hueb
ner of the Cerman Lutheran
church. The wedding was attend
ed by the relatives of the con
tracting parlies and was very
simple and impressive. The bride
was very charming in an Alice
blue chamoisc silk, while the
groom was garbed in the conven
tional black.
The bridal couple, accompanied
by Miss Helen Ilennings and Allio
Meisinger, came to IMallsmoulh,
where the bride and groom depart
ed on No. 2 fop Pekin, Peoria and
Chicago, going from there to Ile
loit, Wisconsin, visiting relatives
in these cities for a few weeks be
fore returning to their homes.
These young people are mem
bers of two of the most prominent
and worthy families in Cass coun
ty ami I heir weililing w ill he a
source of much pleasure o their
hosts of friends who have Known!
them all their life.. The bride has
been one of the most popular and
charming voting ladies in the
county and her friends will hasten
to extend I heir best wishes to her
on her wedding. The groom is a
son of our worthy friend, J. II.
Meisinger, and is one of the most
lighly esteemed young men in his
locality, where he has made an
enviable reputation by his manly
and upright character, and is also
cue of the most genial young men
in the county to meet.
The Journal extends its con
gratulations to the newly wedded
pair and trusts that their future
through life may he free from
trouble and that their pathway be
strewn with sunshine.
Today was a very busy time
with the insanity board, consist
ing of District Clerk Robertson.,
Dp. K. D. Cummins and J. M.
Lcyda. The first case brought
was that of Mrs. Rosa Wise of
Weeping Water, who was brought
in this morning by Constable Noel
from that village. Mrs. Wise ar
rived home last, evening from
Omaha and at once proceeded to
raise several varieties of excite
ment, by announcing her intention
of killing her family, as well as
the neighbors, and il was with
ililiicully she was overpowered.
This morning when brought be
fore the board she was very quiet
and would not talk to any extent,'
but was evidently very much
downcast ami morose. Mrs. Wise
has been subject to these violent
outbreaks several limes, and not
long ago, while living in Omaha,
she struck a woman with a base
ball bat, breaking her hip and al
most killing her. The trouble
which her daughter has had is
supposed to have contributed
largely to her mental trouble.
The board, after bearing Ihe evi
dence, committed her to the
asylum.
J. R. Denson was also brought
before Ihe board to be examined
for his sanity. Mr. Denson was
very sick recently and his sick
ness seems to have affected his
mind, for he appears irrational at
limes, and not. long ago left for
Omaha without a word to his fam
ily, which caused them great
alarm and Ihe police were notified
to search for him, which I hey did
unsuccessfully, and be appeared
home the next, morning, claiming
he had fallen down and injured
himself quite badly in Omaha.
The family has been very much
worried over his condition and
llnally concluded he would be
afcr where he could be kepi un
er Mirveliance.

ing country are to be treated lo
one of tlie greatest piays, 11 not,
the greatest play, thai has ever
visited our city. Jiougni ami
I'aid For" is known in all Ihe big
cities and there is a great demand
for it in the smaller cities. Man
ager Shlaes of the I'armele has
been in correspondence with the
manager of "Hoiigbt and Paid
Kor" for several weeks in an ef
fort to secure a date for the Par
inele, and at last he has been suc
cessful in arranging a date for
Saturday night, December 11. It
was owing lo the fact that the
company had cancelled a dale for
three nights in one of Ihe large
cities that he was enabled lo get
Ihe company. "Nought and Paid
For" played in New York for nine
months and in (Chicago six
mouths, and in both places the
people were simply wild over the
great play. Next Sunday night the
company opens at the Hraiuleis
theater in Omaha for a four-
nights' engagement, which is suf
tlcient lo denote thai "nought and
Paid For" is lirsl -class in every
particular. Manager Shlaes de
serves great credit for securing
this great play, as il is just the
kind that will please our people.
