risim; his chief of his return to tlie
Iteserve company's payroll was eiis-tim-tly
char.n-jerjstie. Hut Steve's re
ecntion of the news was jittle more
than listless. lie seemed to change
the subject entirely.
"1 d.en"t see why it wouldn't be just
as easy or easlet." Steve rep-lied, '"t

'To we Iave that ?trotch open?" he

"I'm afraid we'd better." Steve said.
That was as close as they came to
anything resembling a discussion, of
the change which was growing more
and more noticeable in the bearing of
the men at Thirty Mile. As far as all
outward evkle'ie was exneerned. Steve

of silence which even I'at Joe. after
several unsuccessful garrulous at
tempts, gave evcr trying to penetrate.
It was not the hunger of his own
heart; it was neither intolerance ef re
straint nor mental rebellion against
I the duties which were, holding him so
close upriver that had caused the chief
engineer of the Kast Coast work to
withdraw so completely within him
self, although many times each day
his eyes diel wander towarel the south
and Morrison. During that bleak pe
riod Steve's thoughts were often of
Barbara, but they were not somber
thoughts. The very hardness of his
life schooling had taught him too v. e ll
ho-.v little of wisdom there is in fret
ting against the clay of action when
that day cannot be hurried nor con
trolled. Steadfastly he re fused to let
liime)f brood. If he could not go
to her he would net. nevertheless, al
low hmnelf to dwell upon that impos
sibility.. Instead his Fpirit ranged
ahead to a hopeful, more or less in
dc finite and not too distant elate when
his absence might ret seem to threat

Fahy-Fiizgerald Wedding.
FA I IV-FITZGERALD At the St
John'.-. Catholic church, Plattsmouth,
Tuesday, September 11th, by Rev
Father Ilaynes, I'. Fahy, Esq., of Lin
coin to r.Iiss Sarah Fitzgerald, sister
cf John Fitzgerald, Esq., of Platts-
t moudi.
Precisely at 8 o clock a. rn. on Tucs
day the happy couple above mentioned
were united in the holy bands of mat
rimony, the ceremony being witnessed
bv a number of friends of the con
tracting parties.
The wedding precession consisted of
the bride leaning on the arm of Mr. J
Hayes, the groom accompanied by
Mrs. Fitzgerald, Mr. M. Kelley and
Miss H. Cogncy, followed by the im
meeliate relatives of the bride.
The ceremony, after the ritual of
the Reman Catholic church, including
high mas, the partaking of the sac
rament, etc., occupied an hour and a
half. The bride's dress, which was
very becoming, was a brown silk made
with Breton basque and overskirt, and
trimmed with pearl buttons; lace tie
and a hat of brown straw trimmed
with shaded brown ribbon and silk.
After the ceremony a few of the
intimate friends of the bridal party
adjourned to the mansion of John
Fitzgerald to congratulate them, after
which they departed on the afternoon
train east, carrying with them the
good wishes of their many friends
here and elsewhere. Their bridal tour
will tdke in Chicago, Janesville, Port
age, and finally Madison, Wis., vA-here
the friends of the groom will welcome
them with a grand reception.

THE BATTLE OF
BALLOTS ABOUT OVER
from Tuesday's Dally.
Today marked the close of one of
me most exciting state campaigns
that has been held in Nebraska for
many years and one that is filled with
a great many uncertainties owing to
the many complex issues that are
before the voters to settle. Whatever
the outcome of the, battle may be, it
certainly is a relief to get away front
the arguments and' turmoil that has
been occasioned by the campaign. The
political issues have largely been
overshadowed by the fact that the
prohibition question was uppermost in
the minds of the voters and a greater
effort lias been put forth in this part
of the campaign. The presidential
campaign has also added interest to
the contest and the state has been
visited by a great array of the great
men of both parties, from President
Wilson down to numerous congress
men. The streets of this city have
been thronged with candidates for
the last two days and a large array
of workers for both parties made
things lively for the voter today when
the unwary citizen ventured forth to
cast a free and unterrified ballot.
MRS. FRANK OHM'S
SISTER DIES IN OMAHA
A message was received in this city
this morning announcing the death at
Omaha of Mrs. Rqerbeck, a sister of
Mrs. Frank Ohm of this place. Mrs.
Hoe: beck had been at the hospital for
the past week, and was operated on
Saturday in the hopes of giving her
relief, but without success, as she had
grown steadily worse until death came
to her relief. Mrs. Ohm was at her
sister's bedside when the death mes
senger came, and in her sorrow will
receive the deepest sympathy of p
large circle of friends in this locality,
who will share with her the grief at
the loss of the sister. The funeral
will be held in Omaha, but the mes
sage failed to give the time of the
service. Mrs. Roerback was a lady in
the dawning of life and her untimely
death has been a most severe shock
to the relatives and friends.
William Atchison of Elmwood was
in the city yesterday afternoon, com
ing in with the election returns from
Stove Creek precinct.
A. C. Cary and little grandson were
among those going to Omaha this
morning, where they will spend the
day, and the little boy will be given
treatment by a specialist.
Mrs. John Hirz and daughter, Miss
Lena, .were among those going to Om
aha this morning, where they will
visit for the day.
Dr. H. Thomsen was among those
going to Omaha this afternoon to
spend a few hours looking after some
matters of business.
M. E. Manspcaker was among those
going to Omaha this afternoon to
spend a few hours in that city attend
ing to some matters of business. "
Albert Tschirren drove in from his
farm home west of this city Satur
day afternoon for a short visit with
friends, and to attend' to some busi
ness matters. While here he gave the
