MARRIED AT NORTH LOUP.
From Monday's Daily.
Dan Cupid always was'' a daring
little rascal, and has cut many capers,
but the last one which he has slipped
over on us was when he induced
' James Johns to slip away and secure
for himself a bride, and then as
quietly slip home again and go to
' housekeeping as though nothing had
happened. Last Thursday James M.
Johns of Plattsmouth and Mrs. J. B.
Tipton of North Loup, Nebraska were
united in matrimony at North Loup,
'and returned to riattsmouth, where
they are living like old folks, leaving
the world to find out the fact of
their marriage as best they could.

jthe wedding is forfeited because we

CAMP FUNSTON NEWS BULLETIN
From Monday's Daily.
"From Union Pacific News Bureau"
Camp Funston, Kans., Dec. 13.
Is there a single man at Camp
Funston who will spend a lonesome
Christmas? Is there one of the boys
who are training for the trenches
who will sadly eye the calendar and
muse on other happier Yuletides?
Not if the Christmas Committee
of the big camp knows it!
- And not if the warm hearted pub
lic constitutes itself a Santa Claus,
collectively and individiually as it
shows signs of doing?
vith Christmas bodies sent in for
general distribution as the "Piece de
resistance" and events galore rang
ing from sack races and the like, to
a big sham battle in which' a wagon
train bearing the gifts will be at
tacked, defended and rescued, the
iuletide Celebration .that is planned
should bring happy, cheerful enthus
iasm to every man, who must re
main in camp.
Then, as the fitting end of the big
day, will be the evening fireworks
display from the rijy rock and hill
tops overlooking the camp. That is,
there will be if SaiUa Claus Public
will provide it, andalready snall
checks are trickling in from here
and there for the purpose. More
are needed, however, for the right
kind of a display to finish the cele
bration will cost several thousand
dollars.
In making up gift boxes' for dis
tribution among the men, it has been
requested to leave out sweets, and
eatables pf all kinds. Perfect physi
cal condition is vital, and the most
careful arrangements as to the right
kind of food would be made useless
by a sudden flood of candy and com
paratively strange viands. There
fore, it is suggested If those who had
planned a box of candy, or a cake, or
a chicken, in that Christmas box,
would confine themselves to gifts for
external use, and send along a check,
no matter how small, to the fireworks
fund instead of .he sweets, it would
be appreciated.
"To keep our boys amused and
cheerful on their first Christmas in
camp is lalf the battle," said an
officer on the Committee today, and
the fireworks we hope to have will
be a wonderful substitute for sweets
and such things which might put
iall of our best health precautions to
naught."
In the cities and towns nearest the
camp a committee of ladies inter
ested in the welfare of th boys, is
assisting in raising the fireworks
fund. They plan a tag day and are
also getting direct subscriptions,
which are turned over to the com
mittee. Any subscriptions mailed in
or Christmas boxes sent for distri
bution should'be addressed "Christ
mas Committee, C-O The Adjutant.
Camp Funston."
ANOTHER EOY AT THE HOME.
over nine hundred dollars during the
campaign of a few weeks, and yes
terday was .the closing of the cam
paign, and the raising of that amount
by the Sunday school, is an accom
plishment worthy of emulation.
This amounts to about 75 cents for
every member they having about
two hundred and fifty members of
the Bible school. This is a very pro
gressive Bible school, and the fact
of then so readily subscribing to the
fund the amount which they have is
a credit to the school and the spirit
which impbues the membership. The
amount which the Methodist church
entire has to raise in the United
States is $10,000,000. '..
