tronomy; 1632, Comenius, pioneer of
the public school system; 1799, Vol
ta, pioneer of electrical science, etc.)
as well as to the unknown future

LAW PERMITS HAVING
ONLY OIIE JUSTICE AT TIME
From Monday's Dairy.. , ..;'. :
- The matter, of the appointmeit of
an additional justice of the peace for
Plattsmouthi city-, which', was sug
gested several days ago to the board
of county commissioners, owing to
the illness of Judge M. Archer, was
taken under consideration by the
board, but owing to the new law
there can only be one justice ap
pointed or elected in the city and it
would be impossible to make an ad

From Satur Jay's Dally.
Cupid has been working over time
this winter and a large number of
our young people have been his
happy and willing victims.
The latest to succumb was Wayne
Dorsey, of Omaha, who was married
last Saturday evening to Miss Mabel
Rosenbaum, of Omaha. The ceremony
took place at the parsonage of the
Rev. Titus Lowe of the First M. E.
church and the young couple were
attended by Mr. and Mrs. Pat May-
field. The two young ladies had been
room mates before the recent mar
riage of Mr. and Mrs. Mayfield.
The bride's parents live at Mis
souri Valley, Iowa, where her father,
J. E. Rosenbaum, is general fore
man of the machine shops. Mrs.
Dorsey is employed in the offices of
Dr. W. O. Bridges, in the Brandeis
theatre building. The groom is em
ployed with the Adams-Kelley Sash
and Door company of Omaha. They
will continue in their present posi
tions and will board with Mrs.
George Harkins, of 1916 Laird street.
Mrs Harkins is a sister of Mrs. Bert
McNealy of Louisville and has visited
here often. ,
The bride is a very fine young
business woman and is highly re
spected and has a large circle of
friends in her home town as well as
in Omaha. The groom is the second
son of W. C. Dorsey, now of Siloam
Springs, Arkansas, but for many
years located here. He is one of our
6est young men of industry and high
principles and his host of friends will
join the Courier in . congratulations
and best wishes. Louisville Courier-
