Wabash News
Mrs. Henrietta Lawton is in re
ceipt of a letter from her son, Fred,
who has been making his home in
Oklahoma City, stating that he will
move soon to Tallahasse, Florida, to
make his home in the future.
Carl Reichart of near Murdook
was a visitor in Wabash last Wed
nesday morning, having some busi
ness matters to look after and also
enjoying a visit with friends here.
There is something about Wabash
which always attracts Carl and he
feels at home here more than any
where else.
Mrs. Helen Patzel, wife of Fred
Patzel, of Oklahoma City, where the
husband is engaged in shoo fitting
business, has been yisiting the home
cf her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. L.
Standley, of Manley. Mr. Patzel has
just recently graduated from a theo
logical course and been ordained a
minister, following this vocation at
the same time he continues at his
trade of selling shoes.
Building the Nest First
Roth the groom elect and other
members of the family, together with
numerous neighbors and friends have
been working industriously to com
plete and get in readiness a home
for the couple which is to be wed
ded this week. This is nice, as it is
well to have a home to go to before
one has a wife to care for.
Resumes His Pastorate
Rev. F. C. Weber, pastor of the
Callahan and Wabash churches, who
took a vacation recently and on his
return was confined to his bed on
account of illness, has so far recov
ered as to be able to resume his min
isterial duties last Sunday, conduct
ing the morning services and meet
ing the members of his congregation
who were pleased to have him back
again. v
Attended Sale at Syracuse
A number of the citizens of Wa
bash and vicinity were at Syracuse
last Wednesday for the regular week
ly sale which is held there. Among
those attending were P. H. Clarke,
Ralph Dorr and son Xeal, Robert
Hansen and Ralph Richards.
Taking His Vacation
Peter C. Hansen, of Plattsmouth,
who employs himself with truck
gardening, has not gotten rich from
his enterprise this year, on account
of the drouth, and could not go to
see the Black Hills or Yellowstone
park (although he has plenty of
time for that without neglecting his
crop), but felt that he would like
to fret away from the fields he has
so dilligently cultivated, and asked
to ride over the county with the
Victims of Spain's Civil War

Journal field man on his regular trip
to Manley, Wabash and Murdock, re
turning by way of Louisville. Mr.
Hansen was well pleased with the
country and remarked a number of
times during the trip, "This is sure
a fine country," expressng his regrets
that .the drouth has so completely
ruined crops for the farmers.
Entertained Ladies Aid
Mrs. Carl Jensen entertained the
Ladies Aid society of the Wabash
church on Wednesday of last week,
providing ' the ladies with a very
merry time. They first looked after
the business whicli called them to
gether and following this enjoyed a
social hour and were entertained by
the genial hostess with a very de
lightful luncheon.
For Full Details Ask Him
John C. Browne, the grain man,
is somewhat of a philosopher as .well.
Being formerly a farmer, he listens
a great deal to the Henry Field radio
station, and the other day went to
the store and asked to purchase some
crepe. Asked what he wanted t for,
he stated he thought it would be
well to get used to wearing it now,
as he felt he would have to wear it
after election. For further particu
lars as to just what he meant, you
will have to ask him.
- DRUM CORPS TO MILLIGAN
From Saturday's Daliy:
The American Legion sponsored
junior drum and bugle corps left at
7:30 this morning for Milligan, Ne
braska, where they are spending the
day1 at a three day picnic and cele
bration being staged by the citizens
of that community.
The group were in charge of Com
mander Harrison L. Gayer of the
Legion, assisted by John Pearsley,
James Persinger and Leo Boynton as
drivers of the truck and two cars
required to transport the boys and
their equipment.
Their first appearance was sched
uled for 11 o'clock this forenoon, at
which time they led a parade through
the business section of the town.
Milligan is the home of Roy Ottro
dosky, former clerk at the Fricke &
Co. drug store here, and who is en
gaged in the drug business there for
himself.
The Milligan celebration commit
tee supplied $30 expense money and
will provide dinner and supper for
the corps.
Due to inability of Director C. A.
Marshall to accompany the corps, his
son, Carey, will act as director and
drum major in the various parades
and formations today. Carey has had
the boys out for drill every night
this week, putting them through the
different formations and beats and is
well able to handle the job of direct
ing. -.' V ' i Jf

Impressive Episcopalian service, in

at the home of the bride's mother at
579 South I street, and the wedding
party stood before an improvised
altar banked with a profusion of
greenery starred wiht Shasta daisies.
Tall white candles in silver can
delabra were used to light the rooms
during the ceremony.
The bride, a lovely brunette, was
exquisite in a white satin gown
fashioned with leg o' mutton sleeves
and a pleated neck ruffle. The long
skirt ended in a slight train. Her
long veil, cap effect and decorated
with rows of orange blossoms, was
one that has been used by five other
brides, and first by its possessor, Mrs.
Joseph B. Babcock of San Bernardino.
White slippers completed the costume

She carried a bride's bouquet of white

summer suits.
During the reception which fol
lowed the ceremony the bride cut her
beautifully tiered wedding cake,

Recalls Day of

of Burlington
Dr. G. H. Gilmore of Murray Pro
duces Interesting Story of ths
Early Days, in County.
From the Nebraska Herald, Platts
mouth, Nebraska, Thursday, March 4,
1869:
"We are reliably informed that
the city of Hock Bluffs offers 1200
lots in corporate limits of said city
and 80 acres of land to the Burling
ton and Missouri railroad to make
that their initial point on the Mis
souri river of their projected road
through the county. Kenosha we arc
told offers 500 acres of land for t.hs
same purpose. Truly these are lib
eral offers. Such inducements will
undoubtedly receive the notice of
the company. We of Plattsmouth are
struggling to hold our own, and if
the points named above try to out
bid us people here must make up
their minds to come down liberally
or blame ourselves if the road starts
from someother point on the river.
Time is precious now and we hope
our business men and property hold
ers will see to it that we are not
left out in the cold."
The Burlington and Missouri rail
road entered Cass county at Platts
mouth, in September, 1SC9. H. D.
Hathaway was editor of the Nebraska
Herald at the time he Eoundc-d the
alarm as to the railroad location.
As president of the Hock Bluffs
Pioneer association, I wish to ask
the citizens of Plattsmouth not to
be alarmed. After studying the sub
ject over for C7 years the citizens of
Rock Bluffs prefer to accept river
transportation and instead of giving
1200 lots and SO acres we acquired
about this amount of land by accre
tion. We also understand that the
mayor of Kenosha also withdraws
their offer and are accepting water
transportation and soil accretion.
SEE CHECK TO HAY FEVER
Dr. John E. Weaver, University of
Nebraska plant ecologist, sees a
bright spot in the drouth, a possible
measure of relief for hay fever suf
ferers. The hot, dry weather, he said,
dried up and killed weeds bearing
pollen which afflict the sensitive
noses of the hay fever victims, and
thus eliminated at least a part of
the source of the affliction.
"Mind you, I don't say all of
them," Weaver said. "I'd say about
two-thirds of the pollen bearing
weeds are hit by the drouth."
Most doctors agreed if there were
no pollen there would be little hay
fever. Time, however, will tell. The
hay fever season in Nebraska opens
"officially" about Aug. 15 and the
cool, moist weather of the past few
days may serve to resuscitate the pol
len, it is feared.
