The home had been arranged in keeping with the spirit of the nappy event, with j decorations of hearts and cupids. j symbolic of the coming marriage of I Miss Creamer. Not only was the j bride elect given some suggestions; .s -to her future as the presiding; genius of the home, but the friends! and classmates carried out a mock wedding that in its beauty and ef fectiveness was almost as impressive as the real ceremony. The bridal party consisted of Mrs. Clarence Boynton as the bride. Mrs. F. R. Gob eiman as the groom, Miss Kief, groomsman; Mrs. J. E. Wiles, flow er girl and Mrs. E. G. Shallenberger as the ring (bearer, while C. C. Wes catt, teacher of the class, served as the officiating genius who tied the matrimonial knot. Mrs. John Lyon added to the realism of the ceremony with the well known Lohengrin bri dal march, as the party entered the parlors of the home. Following the wedding a large white parasol decorated with hearts and cupids was brought forth and as the bride raised the sunshade a large array of tasty and suitable gifts showered themselves upon her as re membrances of the members of the class. The ladies at their business ses sion decided to continue their old of ficers in office for the ensuing year and. as well spent a short time In the preparing of towels which were presented to the bride-to-be. A short program was given con sisting of a saxaphone number by John Lyon and a reading by Mrs. B. C. Doolan which was much enjoyed. At the close of the evening the committee consisting of Mesdames Trively and Marshall served a very dainty twolcourse luncheon and were assisted 4y Mrs. Mauzy and Mrs. J. E. Wiles in serving.

From the humdrum of a listless campaign the voters of the second ward of the cfty furnished a real surprise yesterday w-hen by a great majority they elected Johepn 11. aic Maekn to the city council, by the process of writing his name on the ballot and the exceptional large ma jority rolled up was a striking ex amDle of the desires of the voters. The vote in the ward as given out stood. McMaken 137. Lindeman 57, and this with the fact that some thirty votes with Mr. McMaken's name written in, but not crossed, had been thrown out by the board. but these were not .needed by Mr McMaken as his majority reached eighty in the ward. The voters evi dently were very deslrlous or mak ing their expression as it Is seldom that such an overwhelming major ity of the voters can be induced to go to the trouble of writing in 'the names of the candidates on the 'bal lot. The fourth ward once more decid ed that they would give Councilman John C. Brittain the recognition he deserves for his good work in the city council and elected him by the hand some majority of iforthy-three, the vote being, Brittain 99, A. R. John son 56. Brittain is serving his first term In 'the city council and has made a very pleasing record as, a member of the council and especial ly as chairman of the cemetery com mittee and it was this fact that largely caused the voters to give him the endorsement that they did. The fifth ward was another scene of the election of the independent candidate to the office of councilman. L. E. Vroman, former councilman. being elected over Councilman John W. Mauer by the vote of 94 to 34. giving Mr. Vroman a majority of sixty in the ward. These were the only returns that deviated from the ticket selected at the citizens convention, but over the city a scattering vote for mayor in dicate a 'trend toward an independ ent expression by the voters of the city. The election of Mayor C. A. Johnson was by a large majority of the vote as none of the other names written in came anyways near upset ting the vote of the present mayor. C. G. Frlcke was -given a very large scattering vote over the city and a number of the voters also gave Fred Wagner & complimentary vote tout none of these proved serious to the candidacy of Mr. Johnson. City Clerk Aubrey Duxbury .and City Treasurer Hartford "were easy winners and ' came under the wire without opposition and the city clerk will head the ticket in the point of majority as his vote was some larg er than the other candidates in al most all the wards. The political aspect of the cam paign was forgotten as the demo crats and republicans forgot party lines and entered the polls to sup port the candidate of their choice. but one thing was made evident and that was that the people of the com munity desired to express themselves as to the candidates and made clear that there should be two candidates for each office to allow the voter to choose, and It is certain that at any future conventions the voters will In sist that there be two names sub mitted for the different offices, un less In exceptional cases. The school board election gave At torney A. G. Cole and Don C. York handsome majorities in all of the wards and while the name of Attor ney A. L. Tidd was Vritten on the ballot in a few wards it was not suf ficient to give him anyways a dan gerous vote to the other candidates. THOUGHT CAR STOLEN This morn In e: Sheriff f! T. Ouin- ton was informed that a car belong ing to John Chidester of TIninn had been mirloined durinsr the n.ii-h from the garage of the owner and no naa apparently made a success ful getaway. The sheriff was ready to start out to try and secure some trace of the missine vehicle when another message was received an nouncing that the car had teen round along the roadside one mile east of Union where it had evident ly been abandoned by the party tak ing it and the owner is now rejoic ing -in the recovery of his gas wagon.

Grand Island, Neb.. April 4. Though a CO per cent vote was neces sary. Grand Island citizens today voted bonds in the sum of $200,000 for sanitary sewerage extension and $100,000 for Ftorm sewerage, the two propositions being dovetailed in a plan for enlargements and extensions of the present system of mains. Despite much justified complaint about local high taxes citizens recog nized the prevention of flooded cellars in the case of heavy rains, the demands of the state board of health for remedied conditions at the mouth of the sewer and threats of farmers to sue the city for damage's and the fact that sanitary sewerage is now limited to only 11 additional blocks, so that the building of homos has been retarded, as undeniable needs for tho present as well as the future welfare. The only members ef the board of education ' running for re-election was defeated, partly, it is believed, owing to protests against heavily in creased school expenditures. fLlm'ten, Peggy every madder givem her kiddies KELLOCC'S be cause you can oat great big bowl an' they tatte g o o d - e r an' they're all crispy on dandy l" Mil, TAXES FOR THE STATE EXCEED THE COUNTY LEVIES RETURNS FROM SERVICE Last evening Lester L.

In ten Nebras ka counties last year, taxes to sup port the state government were great er than those raised for local pur poses, according to a tabulation of figures made by State Secretary of Finance Phil Bross, showing the dis tribution of county taxes into funds on the 1921 valuation. With the state levy to onaintain the administration $3.30 on each $1,000 valuation, the following counties worried along with their own maintenance on these taxes on $1,000 valuation: Adams. $3.20; Cedar, $M0; Chey enne, $3; Grant, $2.50; Lancaster, $2.S5; Nuckolls. $2.70; Otoe. $2.20; Phelps, $2.90; Seward, $3.23; York, $2.31. The Phelps county total includes an average township levy of $1.90. These counties had to raise such funds as general, averaging 36 per cent of the total; bridge, averaging 19 per cent; road, averaging 15 per cent; poor aid, county farm, moth ers pension, soldier relief, bond in terest and sinking fund, emergency and bridge special funds. The average for all the counties, according to Bross' totals, is $4.42 on the $1,000 valuation, for all the ninety-three counties of the state, i Cass, Deuel and Hamilton counties just equalled the state taxes. County taxes in Douglas county amounted to only $3.S5, or 15 cents on the $1,000 valuation more than the requirements of the state gov-1 ernment. ; HfovL-neve tasted.
