On Tuesday evening at the pleas

their daughter, Miss Alice Harms to
Mr. Charles Albering of Amarilla,
Texas. The wedding was a quiet
home wedding and was attended
only' by the families of the contract

friends. The impressive lines were
read by the Rev. Hartmann of the
Lutheran church north of Manley,
and consisted of a double ring cere

has made her home in Manley from
her childhood, but has since her
graduation from the Louisville high

was saleslady in the Gold Store of
Lincoln where she first met and be
came acquainted with her husband.
Following this Miss Harms was a
sales lady in a large business house
in Los Angeles for the past two
years. She is a lady of unusual ac
complishments. The groom, Mr.
Charles Albering, is an electriction.
and was formerly a resident of Ki
owa, Kansas, where the parents now
reside, but has been making his home
for some time at Amarilla, Texas,
where he is engaged in business.
The bridesmaid was Miss Cecil
Phelps of Louisville, a very close
friend of the bride, and the best man
was D. L. Thurman of Lincoln, a
close friend of the groom. Following
the ceremony and the sumptious
wedding dinner which was served at
nine o'clock, the bridal party de
parted for Lincoln where they re--mained
for the night and stopped at.
Kiowa, Kansas, the home of the par
ents of the groom, for the day and
then continued their journey to Am
arilla, Texas, where they have a
home prepared for the beginning of
their married life. The Journal joins
with their many friends in extending
to this ercellent young couple a long,
happy and prosperous life.

Claim $25,000 Gone
Omaha Disappearance of E. L.
Droste, vice president of the First
National bank of Omaha, early Wed
nesday morning became known Fri
day as police and bonding company
agents widened the search for him.
Droste's books at the bank are
short between $25,000 and $30,000,
bank officials stated.
The night before his disappear
ance Droste visited Denman Kountze,
also a vice president of the bank,
at the hospital where Kountze is
confined. To Kountze, Droste con
fides that "he was in trouble to the
extent of about $25,000."
Wednesday morning he obtained
a car from an auto rental agency,
said he was going "to visit some peo
ple in Iowa" and drove away. He
has not been seen since.
Bank officials said the shortage
was not in actual cash but in the
securities accounts handled by
Droste for customers. In place of
disposing of bonds and other se
curities as requested by customers,
he would retain them in some man
ner and use them a3 collateral for
personal loans, the bank heads said.
He has been pursuing this practice
for two or three years, it was said.
Droste began his career in bank
ing thirty-five years ago as a mes
senger. State Journal.

OUR YEAR'S SERVICE
Summing up for the fiscal year now ending, it will
be seen, and our members may be assured, that quite
largely the Association's business and service to members
has continued as usual.
Noteworthy are these facts and conditions in their
relation to business conditions generally during 19-9-1930.
The needs of our members both for loans and for
withdrawals, the latter larger than usual principally be
cause of interest in other local investments, have been
promptly met.
Our dividend rates have continued at 5f on Invest
ment and G'i on Monthly Payment shares, believed to be
the highest consistent with security in loans and invest
ments ; and at these rates during the year we have dis
tributed to members $83,051.14.
Most gratifying, however, is the substantial increase
botli in number and aggregate amount of savings ac
counts of members, making provision, as they do, from
current income against future needs.

sion received his inspiration to b
gin a notable work fr sick human
ity when he, was serving as assist:i: t
superintendent of ihe Inimanuel
Deaconess Institute at Omaha. There
he encountered some of the most un
fortunate of all people, the epileptics,
and there was born in his soul a
passion to do something fcr them.
When he accepted a call to become
pastor of the Bethphage church r.t

iately. When the train which
brought the family of the minister
to their new home was drawing into
the station, the future founder of
the mission pointed to a piece of
land north of the tracks and said o
his wife, "There the institution
going to be." And there it is a
tribute to his inspiration and energy
