of a most charming event in the
marriage of the two daughters, Mis

Attorney A. II. Duxbury and Marion

quiet, only the immediate family of
the two brides being in attendance,
and with the beautifully arranged
settings made the occasion one of
the rarest beauty.
The rooms of the home were very
prettily arranged with decorations
of pink roses and as the strains of
the bridal march, played by LeRoy
Creamer at the piano and Robert
Creamer on the saxapbone, were

bridal parties entered the parlors.

bride roses. The groom was garbed
in the conventional dark suit.

Claire Creamer, and at the conclu
sion of the first ceremony, these two
young people took that station be
fore the minister and were also join
ed in the bonds of holy wedlock.'
Miss Claire Creamer wa3 costumed in
flesh colored Georgette with cheinelle
trimming and also carried a beauti
ful bouquet of the bride rose3. As
their attendants they had Mr. and
Mrs. A. H. Duxburv.
The Rev. John Calvert, pastor of
me iUfiuuuisi tuurtn, 01 wiucn me

the marriage lines and the beautiful
and impressive ring service was used
in the uniting of the two bridal
couples.

ANOTHER LADY
ENTERS THE PO
LITICAL ARENA
Mrs. Katherine Minor Files For Of
fice of Register of Deeds on
Democratic Ticket.
From Monday's Daily.
Another of the Cass county newly
franchised voters has entered the po
litical game in the person of Mrs
Katherine Minor of this city who to
day filed with County Clerk George
R. Sayles, her request to have her
name placed on the primary ballot
as a candidate for the office of reg
ister of deeds, subject to the wishes
cf the democratic voters of the coun
ty. Mrs. Minor is well known over this
portion of Cass county and is a mem
ber of one of the pioneer families of
the county, and her many friends
will be pleased to learn that she has
decided to permit the use of her
name for this office.
The indications are that the race
for this office will be an entirely
feminine affair, as Mrs. Edna Shan
non, the present republican occu
pant of the office is a candidate for
re-election and with Mrs. Minor in
the race a3 the democratic candidate
the race will be a free handicap for
the ladies.

PRESBYTERIANS
GIVE MOST PLEAS
ING PAGEANT
Sunday School Presents "The Gate
Beautiful" Last Night Large
Number were Present.
From Mondav'p Dally.
The First Presbyterian church was
filled to its utmost capacity last
evening to witness the presentation j
of the pageant, "The Gate Beauti-I
ful" by the members of the Sunday s
school of the church and which was
given in a very pleasing manner and
taught to the beholder the lesson of
the passion of the Savior through
which man was given everlasting
life.
The pantomime of the story was
given on the platform of the church
auditorium and enacted by the child
ren while Mrs. H. G. McClusky read
the story of the passion from the
entry of Jesus over the palm strewn
highway into Jerusalem until his
death and resurrection on Easter
morning. To accompany the story
the special musical score was play
ed by Mrs. G. L. Farley at the piano
and assisted by the choir of the
church.
In the pantomime there were fifty
four of the young people of the Sun
day school participating and the
story was given in a most striking
manner by these young people. The
scenes enacted were "On the Road to
Jerusalem," in which the children
entered the church bearing the palm
branches and singing the songs of
gladness and welcome to the Son of
Man; "Gethsemane." showing the
hour of bitterness and trial of the
Master, alone in the garden with his
Father; "In the High Priest's Pal
ace" showing the Master charged by
the Jews with crimes and false teach
ing and his. condemnation; "The Way
of Sorrow." depicting the march to
Calvary, with Simeon bearing the
cross of the Master along the rugged
road that was to end in the greatest
tragedy of all time, and "Calvary,"
depicting the scene of the death of
Christ on the cross, where nailed to
the cross, he bought with his blood
th aatvfltirtrv nf mankind and in '
this the children- portraying the
three Marys, the disciples and the
Roman soldiers were most effective.
"The Burial" and the dawning of
"Easter Morning" were other scenes
that made the event most impressive.
The final scenes were on "Mount
Olivet" and the "Gate Beautiful."
showing the ascension of Christ to
the side of the Father and the hope
of salvation and eternal life that is
the heritage of the true believer in
the Christian faith.
EXPRESS PEOPLE PREPARE

From Monday's Dally
The express business is a good

on the east side of their lumber yard
that makes a pleasing addition to
the lumber yard and a vast improve

MUNICIPAL PEAGUE
URGES WATER POWER
Plans of Proposed Water Power
Plant Shown at Meeting Last
Night at Public Library
Frorn Tuesday's Dally.
At th recular meeting of the
Municipal Ownership league held
last evening, some very interesting
renorts of committees were made. 1
The president submitted a report
showing that undr private owner
ship the people of Lunsing, Mich.,
paid 12 cents per k. w. for electrical
current and under public ownership,
paid 4 cents. Lincoln. Nebraska,
under private ownership, paid 12
cents, and under public ownership
pays 5 cents. Anderson, Ind., 10
cents as against 6 cents; Ilolyoke,
Ma-s., 18 cents as against G cents;
Richmond. Ind., 15 cents as against
7 cents. Also that at the present
time more than 35 per cent of all
electric light plants in the United
Slates are owned by the cities in
which the plants are located. That
Springfield. 111., Muscatine. Ia., and
Clifton Forge. Va., have recently
voted for public ownership.
The water power committee, of
which Messrs. L. C. Sharp, J. B. Hal
stead and J. II. Hallstrom are mem
ber1!, submitted a very interesting
report of the Platte river power prop
osition with blue prints of complete
surveys, estimates and specifications
obtained from the State Engineer's
office, of which the following is a
brief summary: The survey of the
Plattsmouth water power project
shows available water and carrying
capacity of 2.000 second-feet, and
computed to deliver from three thous
and to four thousand horse power.
The head gates of this project being
located on the Platte river in Sec.
3 2, Twp. 13, Range 13. or about
four ir.i'ies west of the mouth of the
Platte river, the water therefrom
being conducted by a canal to the
power house located in the vicinity
of Swallow Hill. ,
At the time this survey was made
the estimated cost of the dam was
the sum of about $145,000, and the
total cost of the whole projact was
placed at $425,000. The engineer's
estimate shows that at the rate of
cne cent -per kilowatt the canal
would be capable of producing $500
worth of current each 24 hours; or
at the rate the people are now pay
ing, sufficient to be worth $550,000
in 90 days.
The committee further reported
that the report from the state office
of public works shows 80 water
power projt?ets in successful opera
tion and that of these projects 17
are located on the Blue river, and
that station No. 1 of the Blue river
I rejects is now supplying light and
power to 25 towns in Seward. Saline.
Butler, York and Saunders counties.
The committee have the assurance
from the state engineer's department
and the department of public works,
that these departments will give all
available information and assistance
in our development of the Platts
mouth project.
The next regular meeting of the
League will be held at the auditor
ium cf the public library at S o'clock
p. ru.. on the fourth Monday of this
month (April 24th) and the citizens
are urged to attend.

the new courage which all the world now

TINUED 30 DAYS
! Ly .Agreement of Parties the Matter
is Laid Over Until Thursday,
May 11th for Hearing
i
From Tuesday' Imilv.
I The prelimwinary hearing in the
matter of the charges preferred in
the case of the State of Nebraska vs.
Charles C. Parmele. which was
scheduled to be heard this morning
in the county court, was by agree
ment postponed for thirty days or
until May 11th.
The defense has filed an applica
tion for the appointment of someone
by the board of county commissioners
to hear the case in place of County
Judge Beeson, and the application
was granted by Judge Beeson and at
the session of the board, the first
Tuesday in May there will be named
the special judge.
Mr. aPrmele was present at the
hearing and supplied the bond of
$1,000. with John Wehrbein and
George Born as securities.
The task of finding an attorney in
this city to act in the capacity of
judge in trying this case will be a
hard one as almost every member of
the bar has been interested in one
way or another in the litigatipn that
has followed the closing of the Bank
of Cass County, and it may be neces
sary to import someone to hear the
case.
