VERY PRETTY
HOME WEDDING
WEDNESDAY
MISS MAY GLEN IS UNITED IN
MARRIAGE TO MERL LAN
NING, OF EAGLE.
TWO HEARTS NOW BEAT AS ONE
Depart for Omaha and from There
Go to Michigan to Drive New
Car Home from Factory
From Friday's Daily.
One of the prettiest home wed
dings witnessed in this community
for a long time occurred Wednesday
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Glen, in this city, when their
daughter. Miss May Glenn, was unit
ed in marriage to Mr. Merl Lanning,
of Eagle.
The home had been decorated with
flowers and ferns, the bride, gowned
in Organdie, taking her place with
the groom under a large wedding
bell that was situated in one corner
of tli,e spacious parlor, while the
Rev. Harmon of the Methodist
church of Eagle, after the fashion
of the marriage ritual of that
church, performed the ceremony
that joined the lives of the young
people for life. The ring ceremony
was used, the groom placing the ring
on the finger of his bride.
There were many friends present
from Eagle, where the groom lives
and where the bride has been teach
ing school the past year, as well as
relatives from other points away
from Plattsmouth and the confines of
Cass county.
The bride was but a' small child !
when she came to this city, and has
lived here most of her life, attending
school here and graduating from the
Plattsmouth High school. She has
a large circle of friends. The groom,
who is engaged with his father in
the automobile business at Eagle, is
a young man of high qualities and
is well thought of in his home town
as well as over the county where he
is known.
The ceremony was performed at
S o'clock, followed by a sumptuous
wedding supper, after which the
happy couple departed for Omaha,
and from there went yesterday to
Chicago. They will spend some time
in Michigan, stopping at Lansing,
and will visit the Buick auto factory
at Flint, which is nearby, securing a
new Uuick car for the garage at
Eagle, which they will drive back.
The trip back should be a most de
lightful one and doubtless will be to
these happy newly weds.
The Journal takes pleasure in
wishing them a joyous journey thru
life and as much happiness as falls
to the lot of mortals with as little
of the cloudy side as possible.
A KITCHEN SHOWER
From Friday's Dally.
Another charming social event for
the June brides was the delightful
kitchen shower given by Mrs. R. F.
Patterson and Mrs. John W. Falter,
at the pretty Patterson home on
North Sixth St., Wednesday after
nooii. This charming thower was in
honor of Miss Marie Donnelly and
Miss Edith Dovey. The spacious
rooms of the Patterson home had
been made very lovely with decora
tions of Mrs. Ward's roses and in a
color scheme of yellow and white.
The afternoon hours were very
pleasantly whiled away by the
guests in hemming tea towels and
with cloths, as well as embroidering
their initial in the corner of each,
which, when completed were given to
the brides, which will be appreciated
by them in years to come.
At an appointed hour the guests
were invited to the dining room
where the bridal parties were seat
ed at the large table, while the
guests were seated at small tables,
surrounding the bridal table. A
dainty and elegant two course bridal
luncheon was served.
After the luncheon, the brides
were showered with various kitchen
utensils, which will be useful to them
in their new homes.
The invited guests were Misses
Gretchen and Marie Donnelly, Nora
Livingston, Lillian Dwyer, H Oen

AUTOMOBILE GOES INTO DITCH.
Car Injured Considerable, Driver
Fortunate As He Escapes
Injury.
From Friday's Daily.
Last evening while driving along
Lincoln avenue, the car in which
Edward Lutz, jr., was riding along,
took a notion to go into the open
ditch just opposite the home of Fred
Geis, with the result that the car was
broken up pretty badly, while the
driver Mr. Lutz escaped without any
serious injuries. This is the place of
a portion of the exposed "reek with
the precipitate banks, which has re
ceived a !,ood deal of airing before
the council during a number of their
meetings, and which was reported on
at the last meeting as not being able
to protect, on account of there being
no fence posts which they could ob
tain. The car is at the garage of
J. H. McMaken & Sons for repair,
while Ed himself does not need be
repaired. The place is rather dang
erous, and it looks like the city
should get in clear on it before a
worse accident occurs.
FRANK H. SMITH SENDS PICTURE
From Friday's Daily.
Frank H. Smith, formerly the re
porter on this paper, but for now
nearly a year in the service of the
United States Government, in the
army, and located most of the time
at Camp Cody, sends the proprietor of
the Journal, a picture of the 126th
Regiment, composed almost entirely
of Nebraska men, and of which
there are lfteen from this county.
They being: Lieut. H. Floyd Stone,
Corporal Maldon Brown, Sergeant
Earnest Trumble, Corporal Matt Ji-
rusek, Sergeant Otto Lutz, Corporal
Warren L. Trumble and Privates
Lloyd Gilmore, Harry Gilmore, Ar
thur Sampson, Carl Wolforth, Roy O.
Vickers, Raymond Larson, Albert H.
Kearnes, George F. Meade and Roy
A. Wade. These make an excellent
picture, and will be on display in a
short time in the window of the
Journal office, where it can be view
ed by everybody.
HAS A CAR STOLEN.
From Friday's Daily.
Harry Marquardt of Avoca, last
evening had a car stolen, and this
morning has not found the car or any
trace of that would lead to the cap
turing of the thief or the return of
the car. At Avoca last evening there
was a patriotic meeting which was
well attended, and while the interest
was high, some one slipped away
with the car, and made good gpod
their escape.
THE KAHKI CLUB DANCE.
From Friday's Dally.
The ladies of this community have
organized what is known as a Kahki
club, and have rented the former
Turner Hall, on Washington Avenue,
which will be used for a club house,
and will keep the place open for the
use of the soldiers, from four in the
afternoon until ten o'clock at night.
There will be some ladies in charge,
and the soldiers will be made wel
come. It is arranged that there will
be given a social dance at the home
this evening, and the numbers having
been placed at fifty cents- each,
should bring out a large crowd as
the proceeds will be used for the
caring of the place for the soldiers.
The soldiers which have been here
for the past three weeks will depart
for Ft. Crook tomorrow, and there
will come one thousand more here on
Sunday, this will make more than
what has been here before. There
will be soldiers here during the en
tire summer, and their entertain
ment is a thing which this city is de
sirous of looking after
Mrs. E. R. Jahrig was a passenger
to Omaha this morning and accom
panied by one of the children will
visit with her brother August Doer
Ing for the day.
PAY TRIBUTE TO
HEROES -DEAD
AND LIVING
BUSINESS SUSPENDED AND PEO
PLE REVIEW DEEDS OF YE
FORMER WAR DAYS.
STEVENS SPOKE ON THE WAR
Iowa Supreme Court Lawyer Paid
Respects to Old Soldiers and
Championed Our Cause
From Friday's Dally.
Yesterday morning was largely
spent with the business houses of
the town staying open only long
enough to transact such emergency
business as the disposal of perish
able fruit previously order for de
livery, and such other necessary bus
iness, when the stores were closed
for the balance of the day. Some
were closed all day, some closed
by the middle of the forenoon and
none remained open after the noon
hour.
In the forenoon, a committee with
the assistance of the Boy Scouts
marked and decorated the graves of
all members of the Grand Army of
the Republic. There were also pres
ent at the cemetery a large number
of people, who were there to deco
rate the graves of departed friends
and ere the noon hour had arrived
the entire cemetery had taken on a
din'erent appearance as a result of
their efforts. During the early part
of the forenoon a shower of light
proportions fell, after which the
breeze dried up the moisture and
made the ground just right, while
the air was delightful.
Services at the Parmele.
In the afternoon the sun came out
and shone with brilliancy and heat,
and although the atmosphere -was
sultry following the morning's rain
the Parmele theatre was filled to
standing capacity with citizens who
gathered to listen to the Decoration
day program and pay tribute to the
heroes of another war both living
and dead as well as to urge fidel
oity and devotion to the cause for
which we now are fighting.
The program at the theatre was
opened by the singing of "America."
led by Mrs. Mae S. Morgan, in which
all joined with a spirit of patrio
tism. Then followed the salute to
the flag by the school children un
der direction of Mrs. Morgan, as the
flags were held by Thomas Wiles,
commander of the local post, G. A.
R., and Edward Patterson of the
Junior Boy Scouts. Mr. Wiles was
chairman of the meeting and an
nounced the numbers on the program.
Following the flag salute, Rev. M.
A. Shine invoked the blessing of Al
mighty God on the meeting, on this
country and on the world, and es
pecially the boys who are fighting
this day for the principles of Lib
erty and Justice.
"The Red, White and Blue" was
the next song and led by Mrs. Mor
gan, the audience sang it with a fer
vor that bespoke their love for the
song and the sentiment it imples.
Mrs. Jennie M. Dodge then read the
Gettysburg address of Abraham Linr
coin.
"The Soldier Boys of '61" was
next sung by Comrades Glen and
Windham. The audience went wild
over this number and would only be
satisfied when these two gentlemen
of the old school made acknowledge
ment of the encore.
Roll Call of Members
Adjutant Windham called the roll
saying that it had been the custom
to call the roll of the departed ones,
but the number now being about
150, it would be more convenient to
call the roll of the living only. This
roll call showed the living member
ship of McConnehie Post to be L. D.
Bennett, Los Angeles, absent; Wm
Burke, sick at his home in the city,
absent; W. H. Freeze, present, and
upon rising to his feet he was greet
ed with applause and hand-clapping
in recognition of his services, as were
greeted all those answering present,
and Col. J. H. Thrasher, who was
absent. The balance of the roll
call showed John Fight, present;
William Gilmore, present; Thomas
Wiles, present; R. W. Hyres, in
Colorado, this being the first time he
had missed Memorial services in this
city for more than thirty years; Fred
Heirich, at his home in the city; X
H. Isabel, A. Jack, Justus Lillie, Wm
McCauley, John Renner and W. II
Newell, present; Isaac Wiles, in the
western part of state; Robert Troop,
in northern part; R. B. Windhjam,
Thomas W. Glen, present; Geo. Wall,
lives at La Platte; D. W. Foster, at
Union; P. T. Walton, departed re
cently for trip up into the state, and
C. M. Barrows, at Murray; Col. J
H. Thrasher, in Montana, while Jas
W. Anthony was present and Ezra
Brown a visitor from out of the
state. Col. M. A. Bates was present
and was called to his feet by Com
rade Glen, whereupon he was given
an ovation.
Those who had passed away dur
ing the past year were five in num
ber, their names being Wm. S. Por
ter, Benjamin Decker, Rozziel Mor
row, A. C. Tartseh and J. W. John
son.
Thomas Wiles told of how just 54
years ago he was in a battle in Ar
kansas, when J. W. Anthony was
wounded, as he himself was also.
and how he had picked up Comrade
Anthony and was able to get him to
safety, but the latter was not able
to do any more fighting during the
war. The same day of which yes
terday was an anniversary, Mr. Wiles
rode thirty miles on a mule to a
hospital.
Male Quartette Good.
The song, "Never Let the Old Flag
Fall" was next sung by a quartette
composed of F. A. Cloidt, Rev. H. G.
McCluskey, Roy W. Knorr and Don
C. York. At the close of the song,
Mr. York asked the audience to join
in singing the chorus with them,
which they did, although rather
feebly.
Mayor H. A. Schneider then arose
and in a very pointed and patriotic
little talk introduced the speaker of
the afternoon, Hor;Judge T. S. Stev
ens, of the supreme court of the
state of Iowa, who delivered the ad
dress of the afternoon.
Americanize America
Judge Stevens showed himself an
excellent speaker and won the audi
ence right from the start. He spoke
of the war and the causes that led
to our participation in it, saying that
fighting the forces of autocracy in
Europe today is eminently necessary
to save ourselves from having to
fight them in America some time m
the future. He laid stress on the be-:
fore-the-war attitude of trying to
foreignize America and showed how
the reaction now demands that we
Americanize America.
Judge Stevens recommended t,he
speaking of no language in this na
tion save the English. He avers no
one can speak a foreign language
and be quite as patriotic an Ameri
can as he would be if he spoke the
English tongue and no one can meet
the requirements unless his sympa
thies are with the allied armies
equally with those of our own na
tion. He said, further, "When the
American boys go to Berlin (and as
sure as there's a God in the heavens,
they'll get there) there will not be
found in all of Germany a single
ravished wife, nor a single German
boy with hands, arms, ears of other
parts of his anatomy cut off, nor
will there be a single German baby
crucified on the point of an allied
bayonet." Thus advocated the judge
we will impress on the hearts of the
German people that ours is a war of
love and a fight for the principles
of justice and make them see the er
ror of their barbaric ways ways
taught them through years of "kul
tur" at the hands of avarous and un
principled rulers of the nation.
Government of democracy will sur
vive, declared Mr. Stevens, and one
by one the nations of the world will
come to a form of government simi
lar to ours.
Following the address of Judge
Stevens, the audience stood and sang
"The Star Spangled Banner," after
which Rev. McClirsTiey offered a few
words of benediction and the meet
ing was over.

EVERYONE SEEMS SATISFIED
Crimes Complained Of Said to Have
Been Committeed Before New
Sedition Law Effective.
From Friilay's Paily.
There has been no prosecution of
the one hundred and fifty people who
administered their interpretation of
the law a short time ago, but giving
some refractory citizens a coat of tar,
and chaff from a straw stack. The
matter is only a rumor as far as th?
law is concerned, while the complaint
has not reached the courts, and the
people who were given the free en
tertainment do not and in fact refuse
to enter a complaint, it looks like
everybody was satisfied. The lang
uage which an affidavit, which sets
forth the matter, says was used, and
which was made by a man, who i.s
closely connected with the people, is
of a nature that is now seditious, but
the offenses were committed before
the going into effect of the law. The
man who was the leader of the up
rising, has two brothers in the ser
vice, and his wife also has two broth
ers in the armq. With these facts
before the people it is not difficult
to understand how he with the oth
ers of the 15 people should be in
sensed, at the talk, especially when
one of the parties was being so
licited for contributions fpr the Red
Cross, asked "What are you going To
do when coming to you for Ger
man Red Cross?" while another said
that "We would be better off if we
had the kaiser in the place of Presi
dent." Is it any reason the people
could not stand it, any righteous red
blooded American would be tempted
to take measures which would be
adequate to the offense. There are
31 people enlisted from the little pre
cinct since this happened.4 and with
this feeling the people who were not
giving loyalty to the principles of
American institutions were in emi
nent danger of getting called to an
dccounting. The recipients of the
administrations of this select com
mittee of 150, came to this city to
consult with the district judge, and
not finding him at home, went to the
governor, and not finding him there,
went to the Federal investigator, and
then breaking away from an attorney
who had picked them up in this "city,
returned to the city and took up the
case with the county atorney and
sheriff, saying to them that they did
not wish to complain against any
one, nor did they desire to have one
of the one hundred and fiftv arrested.
It looks like the scum of disloyalty
is working out as the pot boils, and
that patriotic Americanism is coming
out of the matter.

Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Trimpe of
