ROYAL NEIGHBORS

Members of Local Camp Give Very
Pleasant Farewell in Honor of
Bride-Elect.
The members of the local camp!
of the Loyal Neighbors of America
e.!V- a vt-ry pleasant shower Monday
evening : t the Hotel Pcikuis i l honor
of one of their members. Miss (iarnet
Cory, whose marriage to Mr. Carl
Ohl.ichlager occurred yesterday af
ternoon. The event had b-en arranged a;
a surprise to the bride-elect and th-3
members of the order gathered at the
office of Harry Smith early in the
evening and from there proceeded to
the hotel where they quietly entered
and came on the guest of honor un
expectedly and completely surprised
her.
The earlier part of the evening
was spent in the preparation of a
book of verses and suggestions to
the bride from the different members
of the party and each of the forty
five members present had some ad
vice or suggestion to offer to the
newly weds and which furnished
considerable amusement :'nd pleasure.
Mrs. William Cowles on behalf of the
camp expressed the appreciation
rhat the membership felt toward the
bride who has served as recorder for
the past few vears and been one of
the leading workers in the order.
Mrs. Jennie TuK-ne also offered a
few remarks of suggestion and ad
vice that afforded much pleasure.
The speeches were made at the
bainjuet table in the dining room of
the hotel and which had been es
pecially arranged for the occasion
and with the tasteful decorations of
roses of the summer season and can
dles made a very pleasing setting.
Mrs. H. W. Smith presided as
toast mistress of the gathering and in
behalf of the camp presented the
bride with a very handsome sterling
silver sugar and creamer as a tes
timonial of the esteem of the mem
bers of the order.
The bride was also presented with
another gift by the ladies but which
was not opened and preserved as a
secret by the bride as well as the
committee that made the selection
and which will not be revealed until
later.
The luncheon was in two courses
and was most dainty and delicious
in every way and one thoroughly
appreciated by the members of the
party.
It was a late hour when the gath
ering adjourned wishing the young
people about to enter into matri
mony many years of joy and plea
sure.

Memorial services for Former Jus
tice John 11. IJarnes were held" in the
supreme court Monday morning. A
committee composed oT M. 1). Taylor,
Jacob Fawcett. Clarence A. Davis.
Jesse L. Root and W. V. Allen pre
sented resolutions, which were adopt
ed, and Justices Morris-sey and Let-
ton. Mr. Tyler and Mr. Allen made
brief addresses.
Judge Barnes was born in Ashta
bula county, Ohio, in 1S4C. and after
four years of service in the civil war
he came to Nebraska. He took a
homestead near I'onca in 1S71
taught school, studied law and was
admitted to the bar. He was dis
trict attorney for a term, and then
district judge for six years. He was
named a member of the supreme
court commission in 1902, and elect
ed supreme judge in 1905. He
served twelve years on the bench
and finished his career as a member
of the attorney general's staff.
The resolutions pay tribute to the
strong personal characteristics of the
deceased, praise him as a just and
learned judge helpful to his associ
ates and a man who had rendered
valuable services to the common
wealth. His life was a blessing and
his memory will ever be an unfail
ing joy to his family, the commun
ity, his associates and the people of
the state. His death is described as
a grievous loss to the state, to which
he had given the full strength of his
powers. The bar has lost an active,
able and upright judge and the com
monwealth a loyal, devoted and use
ful judge and citizen.
Mr. Tyler, who was his law part
ner for a time, said he was a man
who bore malice to no one, and never
was known to speak ill of any one.
He "was proud of his profession, but
cared little for its emoluments. He
paid tribuVi o his unusu l clearness
of intellect aud ability to grasp le
gal problems.
Judge Allen said he first met him
as a youth at Fredericksburg, la.,
just after both had come out of the
wiar. He praised him as a man of
just judgment and excellence as a
lawyer, and as one who had helped
shape the policies of the state. He
believed in the immortality that
thinking men admitted comprised
the future of man, and quoted Scrip
ture to Justify that belief.
Justices Letton and Morrissey
spoke briefly of their association with
Judge Barnes, and paid tribute to
his qualities of Intellect and heart.

tf sw. R. C. KENNEDY. '
ing, one oi ine om lime residents or
this city, came in for a short visit
here and to review the once familiar
scenes where he had spent his boy
hood days and where he had taken
his first business experience. Mr.
Stocking when a young man forty
years ago entered the employe of
C. E. Wescott in this city, Mr. Wes
cott himself having just recently ar
rived from Indiana at that time and
embarked in the clothing business
and it was under his training that
Mr. Stocking developed his tact and
ability in the clothing business.
He removed from Plattsmouth some
thirty-six years ago and located in
Independence. Iowa, where he estab
lished his own clothing business and
has won a great success in his line
of business. Mr. Stocking now has
one of the largest retail clothing
stores in northeastern Iowa and has
secured a very substantial fortune
as the result of his efforts and is
now in a position to enjoy his de
clining years in comfort.
While in the city Mr. Stocking was
the guest at the homes of C. C. and
E. II. Wescott, sons of his old time
employer and whom he knew as boys
years ago in the old town. The viit
was one most thoroughly enjoyed by
all of the Wescott family and in the
exchange of many stories of old times
the members of the family and their
friend found much pleasure.
SMITH COMPANY
EMPLOYES' PICNIG
The ladies employed at the M. E.
Smith shirt factory in this city en
joyed a very pleasant time Saturday
evening at a delightful picnic party
held along the banks of the old Mis
souri river and in the vicinity of the
Burlington bridge.
The event had been planned by
Mr. F. II. Kimmer, who has charge
of the department that handles the
Mina Taylor and other lines of la
dies ready-to-wear garments, and he
proved a royal host to the Indies and
the occasion one that will not soon
be forgotten.
The party was convoyed to the
scene of the gathering in autos and
reaching there the fun and enjoy
ment was commenced with games and
a general good time for several hours.
The ladies enjoyed a ride on the ferry
and the fresh river breeze 'until the
luncheon hour when the party gath
ered around the camp fires and pro
ceeded to roast. wenies and enjoy the
fine. repast that had been prepared
for them by the host of the occa
sion. It was in the dusk that the party
were taken by cars to their homes
feeling that it had truly been a day
of the rarest enjoyment for all concerned.
WILL UNDERGO OPERATION
It is expected to operate on Fath
er M. A. Shine, rector of the St.
John's Catholic church, today at the
St. Catherine's hospital in Omaha,
where he has been for the past two
weeks. Father Shine has had a se
vere attack of appendicitis, tut ow
ing to his extremely weakened con
dition it was not thought advisable
at first to perform the operation, but
the patient has since shown much
more strength and has decided that
it would be best to have the oper
ation performed in order to assure
permanent relief from his sufferings.

Serious Results Feared.
The many friends of Father M.
A. Shine, rector of the St. John's
Catholic church in this city, and one

and his recovery is now the matter of
great doubt.
Father Shine was operated on thi3
morning at the St. Catherine's hos
pital in Omaha for appendicitis and
the result has not been as favorable
as had been hoped for as the patient
is quite weak and the complications
give the attending surgeons the
greatest apprehension as to the out
come of the case.
