MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1917. PAGE TWO PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. MARRIED IN SENATE CHAMBER IN BOSTON JIarjorie As-new of This City Weds Lieutenant Reese H. Hastain in the Eastern City from Thurs Jay's Daily. . , Lieut. Kecse Hill Hastain, of the SlTth Field Signal gorps at Camp Peven?, Ayer, was married to Miss "Marjorie Agnew of riattsmouth, Ne- bravka. by Chaplain E." A. Harton, of the Senate at 11 o'clock last night. The ceremony, which took place in the Senate Chamber at the State 3 louse is said to have been the first eve- performed there. Both of the young people are na tives of Nebraska, ir. Hastain form erly making his home at Omaha. The wedding was to have been at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, but the train on which the bride was travel ing from Nebraska, was delayed more than 11 hours because of a w reck near Chicago. Miss Agnew ar rived in Boston just before 10 o'clock last night. The bride was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Nellie Parmele Agnew, Capts. John A. Murphy and J. M. Hiley of the SlTth Field Signal Corps and their wives; Lieut. Beau n.or.t and Borland of the same regi ment and Assistant Clerk of the Sen ate, William II. Sanger, were pres ent. Judge Powd waived the five day law for the couple, as the husband is likely to bo called away from Ayer at any time. Mrs. Hastain will live near Ayer until her husband is trans ferred from Camp Devens. The above is a clipping from a pa per published in Boston, the name or date of which we are unable to ascertain, but the marriage related has occurred only a very short time ago. The bride, formerly Miss Marjorie Agnew, was reared hi Flattsmouth, and a young lady beloved for her jnuny winsome traits of character. And the best wishes of our citizens go to her for a lifelong happiness, with the hope the bright wings of love may always soar over the heads of the young couple, is the wish f the Journal. BUILDING AN ICE HOUSE. Frm Thursday's Iaily. The Burlington Railway is just be ginning" at Omaha, the construction of an immense ice house, which will cover 23.S56 square feet, and have a storing capacity amounting to 14,000 tons. C. R. Frans who has been working for the company at South Sioux City, has been trans ferred to the Omaha job, in order to get it in readiness as the storing goes along. Mr. Frans was home last evening and departed this morn lug for his work at Omaha. THE COAL SITUATION HERE. From Tiiursilav's Daily. Just at this time with the winds howling like "The Furies" over our lieads, there is not enough coal in the city in the hands of the dealers to last the citizens' consumption for one day. True many of the people have their bins filled, and then again many are absolutely empty. One dealer is entirely out of coal, he has a little coke, another had a part of a car of coal, and the third one has just received a car of Illinois nut coal., this makes a very poor show ing for supplying about one thous and households. The coal which the city has offered, has not made ap pearance, not have they even heard from it. It might look in some phases of the question as though it was not the province of the city to flip into the matter of handling fuel, why iisy Chance Imi! When you can get staple land in South eastern Nebraska at very reasonable prices and on good terms, that will increase in value because, we raise the crops, every year. Take your car and drive to Sterling, Neb., and get back home the same day. Buy a farm near home that you can look after. VVc have tracts of land irom 5 acres to 800 acres; any size tract you want. We have sold several Cass county, people. Drive over to Sterling, Neb., and see us. Phone Red 65. but at this very time the welfare of the citizens are at stake, thejmatter is such urgent necessity that com mercial etiquette should be brushed aside, and something done to care for the cases, which face lis. The local ' question is but the reproduc tion of what is happening elsewhere. Just a few days since there was re ported sixteen cities in Iowa with out coal. These occurrences, point to some other means than that which has prevailed in the distri bution of the necessities, and wheTe dealers prove themselves not compe tent to handle the situation the au thorities should take charge of the work. DISSECTING QUESTIONNAIRES. The committee of attorneys of this county, with Mathew Gering as the chairman, were busily engaged as Ave go to press dissecting the Question naires, which is a magazine of six teen pages, which is being sent out to all the registrants, and which cover the things necessary to know to determine to what class they will be assigned. x The Questionnaire, which is a sixteen page blank, is so complicated, and so extensive in its researches, that it requires some legal advice as to its Interpretation, and as the government has asked the Bar all over the land to give there counsel and advice, where necessary and that means everywhere, the at tbrneys are dissecting the blank, in order to arrive at a uniform opin ion as to just what the different por tions might mean. , Those in consultation with Mr. Gering are: Judge J. T. Begley, Judge Allen J. Beeson, County At torney Cole, C. A. Rawls, C. E. Tefft, R. B. Windham, William DellesDenier Bale Boyles, J. E. Douglas and D. On Dwyer.

It is expected that the' will meet at the Perkins House tomorrow af ternoon, when they will go from there with automobiles, if the weath er is so that they can travel in com fort.

Seldom has our city so generally mourned, as in the passing of Mrs. J. M. Roberts, at the Immanuel Hos pital in Omaha, Dec. 12th. Mary Catherine Roberts was the daughter of Judge V. H. Newell of this city and was born near Ports mouth, Ohio, Aug. Sth, 1SC9, and came west with her parents in 1870. She was united in marriage with Mr. J. M. Roberts, Oct. 9th, lS9i. One daughter Helen, aged 17, and a son Newell, aged fifteen are left to fnourn the loss of a mother. Eulogy is not needed for Mrs. Rob erts, whose keynote to her entire life might be summed up in the one word unselfishness but we cannot re frain from paying our tribute of love to her memory. There can be no lessening of the rricf of the devoted husband' and the motherless son and daughter, nor 'i::;ening of the aching void a '. 1 v: thstone, but the shining por. r. i hearthstone, but the shinny portals of the "Eternal City" will .seem much nearer to them now that their best loved one has entered therein. To her parents, brothers and sis ters, her life will ever remain as a benediction. But not alone in the home will she be missed. In the Presbyterian church there will be a conscious loss because her presence has gone from them, while to her S. S. class -her memory will be sacredly" held all "through the coming years." In her quiet, Unostentatious way she aided the needy, and her sweet smile and words of encouragement brightened many a discouraged path way. To her neighbors and friends the universal verdict, "She never spoke unkindly .of anyone" will bo a last ing thought and a lesson for good It does not seem a fitting thing that we should lay our sister to rest amid December snows. We would fain that June skies and fairest flowers should crown her resting place, but "God Knows Best, lie holds the Key" and sometime we'll understand. "Our loss is great, the cloud of woe Veil the faint-star beams from our sight. Yet look we forward, for we know She's in the light. - Our grief is deep, our aching heart Seeks for an anwser all in vain Yet on her brow repose is shed She has no pain." GOOD LANDS NEAR HOME. There are large and small tracts of land near home that you can buy right through the agency of Curtain & Mockenhaupt, of Sterling, Neb., as you will see by their ad in another column of this paper. They have some very choice farms near Sterl ing, and will take pleasure in show ing you the value of the same if you will take a day and visit with them. tf-tf-tf NEW BOOK ON CANCER This new book gives a most com prehensive explanation of cancer and its successful treatment without the knife.
