OF
THE BRIDE-ELECT

Mrs. Allen J. Beeson in Hon
or of Miss Ethel Leyda.
From Wednesday's Dally.
Last evening at the beautiful
home of Judge and Mr?. Allen J.
Beeson was given a most charm
ing linen .-.bower, in honor of Miss
Ethel Leyda whose wedding to
Mr. Andrew O. Moore is to occur
next Mondav evening, and the
evening, and rue
event proved mo
all those in attendance. The
rooms of the Beeson home pre
sented a scene of great beauty
with the decorations of hearts,
cupids and wedding bells, all em
blematic of the approaching: hap
py event, and they were distribut
ed with artistic effect throughout
the room adding much to the
charm of the occasion. One of
the most pleasing musical pro
grams that has been given in this
city had been arranged and em
braced the most talented musi
cians in the city. The vocal se
lections given during the evening
were by Mrs. E. II. Westcott, Miss
Opal Fitzgerald, and Miss Delia
Moore, all of which were given in
a manner that brought out to its
fullest the great talent possessed
by these ladies, and the guests
were delighted with the tre.-.i that
had been offered them of rearing
Ihese delightful numbers. Mi-s
F.fheJ Leyda gave a very pleasing
piano number as did Miss Chris
tine Soennisehen. both of which
were highly appreciated. The
different -elections on the iolin
by Prof. V. J. Kolbaba won for this
talented gentleman new laurels as
the exquisite notes of the violin
stole softly through the rooms,
and the accompaniment played for
the first number by Miss Elizabeth
Beeson displayed much ability on
the part of this talented young
pianoist. The numbers on the
violin and piano by Prof. Kolba
ba and Miss Kiltie Cummins was
one of the tinet ever heard in the
city, and the guests were loth to
let these two artists retire, so en
tranced were they by the music
Another very pleasing feature of
the 'evening was the violin duet
by Prof. Kolbaba and Miss Orace
JJeeson, one of bis pupils, anil the
little lady demonstrated that she
was a worthy student of this mas
ter of the violin.
During the course (Jf the even
ing Miss Virginia Beeson served
delicious fruit punch to the
guests in the dining room in a
manner that was most charming.
After the enjoyment of the de
lightful musical program a very
templing luncheon was served by
Mrs. Beeson, assisted by her
daughters, Misses Elizabeth,
Grace and Virginia, that served
to add greatly to the pleasure of
the evening. After the showering
of the bride-to-be, the company
departed, leaving with her advice
as to her future married life, but
the best advice received was that
she leave the "'advice" given
alone.
"Clean Up the Bowels and
Keep Them Clean"
There .rc many remedies to be
had for constipation, but the diffi
culty is to procure one that acts
without violence. A remedy that
aoes not perform
by force what
should be accom
plished by persua
sion is Dr. Miles
Laxative Tablets.
After uiinfr them,
Mr. N. A. Waddell,

St., Waco, Tex.,
says:
"11mnc -.11 mtf
,W '' life I have ben
troubled with const ir-.ition. and have
tried many reniedi". aH of whi-h
reemed to cause pain without giving
much relief. I finally trU-d Dr. Miles'
laxative TaMets find found them ex
cellent. Thir action Is pleasant and
mild, and t:-.elr chovolate taste makes
them easy to tnl.e. I am more than
glad to recommend them."
"Clean up the bowels and keep
them clean," is the advice of all
physicians, because they realize the
danger resulting from habitual con
stipation. Do not delay too long,
but begin proper curative measures.
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets area

and a great improvement over the
cathartics yon have been using in
the past. Tliey taste like candy
and work like a charm. A trial

The Call of Hunger.
The people would be better off
eating only when hunger calls for
food and then eating the right
kind of food and in the proper
quantity. ft seems impossible
under the present conditions of
life and it becomes therefore
necessary to hae at hand a rem
edy which would quickly restore
the damaged digestive organs.
Such a remedy is Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine,
which has a most excellent effect
in many diseases of those organs.
It makes the intestines clean,
strong and willing to work. It
should be given to those suffer

SOME BAD LUCK!
For the past few days we have been having some bad
luck with our new press in the way of getting it to do
the work properly, and are compelled to resort to the
old press to print this issue, and also to reduce the
paper to the old size in order to print it on the old
press. This is the reason for our being one day late
this week, and we ask our readers to bear with us in
this, our hour of misfortune. We will have all de
fects remedied in a few days, when we will return to
the larger size again.

OPEN A CAFETERIA
This city is to have a new in
novation in the line of a restaur

a large steam table made where
all kinds of food can be kept warm
and ready to eat and with the cof
eteria system there will be no long
wait and parlies desiring to have
a lunch served quickly can lind
this after next Monday at Mr.
Wagner's place, and with the pol

successfully in the delicatessen
store, of giing the public just

proposition a go. There will be
no expense spared by Mr. Wagner

BOY THROWN FROM
HORSE NEAR ELMWOOD
AND IS BADLY HURT
Lelaud Hayes is in a critiea
condition at his home east o
town as the result of an accident
which happened him while riding
to town horseback yesterday
morning about 11 o'clock. He
was accompanied by a boy coin
pauion, Simon Brandt, and the
two are supposed to have been
riding' I heir horses at a fast rat
of speed. Leland's horse stumbled
and fell on the bridge just east
of the Ed (Justin farm residence,
precipitating the rider to Ihe
ground beyond and causing in
juries which are severe in char
acter to say the least. One of his
ankles was severely ma-hed, un
doubtedly having been trampled
upon by the horse in getting up;
his face had been rammed in th
dust and his eyes were filled with
dirt, and he received numerous
other injuries here and there over
his limbs and abdomen. He was
picked up unconscious and taken
to his home, where medical as-
stance was immediately given.
Mr. and Mrs . Hayes were at
Lincoln attending the fair and
knew nothing of their son's mis
hap until Ed Gustin went after
and notified them having them
home in his louring car by 3
o'clock in the afternoon. Leland
is still unconscious at this writ
ing, but is giving signs of re
gaining consciousness, and we
uncerely hope that a condition
not so bad as appearances now
indicate will be proved by his
ultimate and complete recovery.
The attending physician informs
1 that concussion of the brain
is one of the worst things to con
tend with, while hemorrhage is
also a bad thing with which he

CITY COONCIL
HAS A SESSION
Continued from Pate 1
possession of the street, it ua-
finally agreed that tin surveyM,
survey the street and report to
the city attorney, who could tie-n
give the council an idea of h-.v
to proceed in the matter.
Councilman Buttery called th
attention of the council (,. th--fact,
that there ws considerable
complaint in reuard to lb.; bad
condition of the .,!. womjeri -id.--walks
on North sixth street, toil
Councilman Patterson iiifi;.,..,)
the council that one walk had
been taken up and th.it the . j . -f -
would be removed a- -00 n a- :.-.
sible.
Mr. Buttery, in speaking of th
regulating of the automobile
drivers in the city, thought the
police should be provided with 1
stop watch in order that they
could be better fixed to time the
speeders on the streets of the
city, and was also in favor of the
enactment of an ordinance to
regulate the speed of auto
mobiles, as at present all th-;
fines and costs in such cases goes
to the county, as the compl.-ii.nts
are filed under the state law.
Mayor Saltier aIo favored an
ordinance of this kind and recom
mended that the city attorney be
requested to draft such a meas
ure for consideration at the nxt
meeting of the council. Council
man Streight wanted to know how
long it would take to yet Midi an
ordinance throuch the round
and believed that a special r t-
ing snouiu ie neiu to pas ;t, a
he thought enough fines coiii-J 1,
secured to pay o:f the indeb:-d
ness of the city. Councilman
ft ic h-y was also very strongly jo
favor of getting a stop watch f.
the police, as many auto owners
had stated they would fight anv
aire-t made, as the police In I
accurate way 01 inning' i.e-m.
and he made a motion that the
watch be purchased, and that, the
city attorney prepare an ordin
ance to regulate fhe speed limit
in fhe city, which was passed by
a unanimous vote of the council.
The ordinance defining the
curb line in curbin'g and gutter
ing district No. 5 was read for
the second and third time and
placed on its passage and carried
with only one dissenting vote.
Councilman Patterson made a
motion that the plans and
specifications for the work in dis
trict No. 7) be amended so a- to
define the guttering to be four
feet wide from the curb. C iim
cilman Streight wanted to know
if at fhe time the petition had
been circulate.! the -igners had
been ,dd that any particular
width would be used or . a
detinate cost m the work. At
torney W. A. Robertson, who as
sisted in circulating- the petition,
staled to the council that they
had made an estimate, but had
told the signers the cost micht
be more or less. The motion
f Patterson was passed
unanimously.
Motion by Patterson tha'. the
plans and specifications as
amended be accepted and that
bids for the work be advertised
for were passed bv the council.
The occupation tax ordinance
was placed on its second reading,
and Chairman Streight of th!
judiciary committee added to th
list of occupation taxed by th-'
ordinance that of wall l pcr.
paint and oil dealers for 2J per
year anil shoe shining parlors a!
S:? per year. Councilman Hal-
stroin thought the ordinance was
unfair to some of the merchants.
the small stores were taxed as
heavily ,as the larger stores,
which he did not think was fair.
Mr. Streight stated that if there
was any changes that con! 1 bo
suggested the committee, would
e glad to consider them, but thaf.
Ihe ordinance was cut dow.i as
ow as possible to make th-'
necessary revenue. On moti n w
