HAVE WEDDED.
Tuesday evening of tbis week , at
residence of bride's parents , Mr. and
Mrs. Thos. Bennett , Rev.D.L. MoBride
spoke the words , mystic words , joining
in holy bonds of wedlock two of our es
timable young people , Mr. Sidney M.
Cole and Miss Ida Zimmerman , a good
ly number of relatives and friends wit
nessing the felicitous ceremony and
participating in the joyous festivities
following.
The bride was arrayed in a becoming
and elegant costume of cream henrietta
trimmed with white tulle ; the groom in
conventional black. Miss Matie Rus
sell , bridesmaid , wore a rich pink albatross
tress trimmed with cream ribbons and
illusion ; the groomsman , Mr. James
Egan , was in appropriate black.
The young couple start out in the
new-life very graciously remembered :
The bride received a handsome gold
wutch with diamond set from the groom ,
who also was made happy by the receipt
of a fine Masonic pin from Mr. 0. C.
Ziua of Hastings. Also , a dinner set
from bride's parents , an easy chair from
groom's father ; stand lamp from Mr.
and Mrs. W. R. Cole ; a silver cake
basket , Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Archibald ;
clock from John J. Mullen ; knives and
forkes , James Egan ; table spoons from
S. M. Cochrane ; water set by Mr. and
Mrs. Jeffreys ; knives and forks from
Mr. C. E. Benedict and Miss Barbara

by social intercourse and cards , until a
late hour , when with heartiest well
wishes for a life of happiness and pros
perous contentment to the newly wed
ded the guests made their reluctant
farewells.
BY HIS OWN HAND.
The sharp report of a revolver rang
out on the quiet evening air , Sunday ,
and William B. Bailey lay in the silent
embrace of death in his room at the
Central House.
Disappointment in love is said to
have caused the young man to commit
the terrible act. He had been talking
with the object of his love , who is a
waitress at the Central House , when
suddenly he quickly arose from the sup
per table , ran to his room , pressed the
spring , and all was over.
An inquest was held , the same even
ing , and the remains were taken to
Pade's undertaking establishment from
whence they were interred in Longview
cemetery , Tuesday afternoon , his moth
er and uncles Michael and Daniel Mc-
Killip of Hayes county , and a few Mc
Cook acquaintances , attending the sad
obsequies.
The act seems to have been premedi
tated , as he had announced his deter
mination to destroy himself , to intimate
friends , a number of times , recently.
He has been employed on the rail
road , but for some length of time has
been out of work , which fact , together
with too much drink , may have had
some influence on his act.

Litt/s Debbie Hackman Dead.
In the loss of little Debbie Hackman
whose severe illnens was announced in
the Times two weeks since , the bereav
ed parents have the sympathy of the
entire city. Her death , after only a
week's illness of membraneous croup ,
occurred at 11 o'clock Monday night at
the homo of her parents , Mr. and Mrs.
Albert A Haokman , on Branchport
avenue. Debbie was a general favorite
with all who knew her sweet and win
some disposition. Though but six years
of age she had a wide circle of friends.
Probably her closet companion anc
playmate was Hazel Edwards , whose
death was mentioned in last week's
Times. Both these little ones were
classmates at St. Luke's Sunday schoo !
and were constant companions. Debbie
was taken with a severe cold on the
day Hazel died ( New Year's ) and never
recovered. Every effort was put forth
to ease the little one's suffering on
Monday , but it was of no use. By thia
death the Sunday school has lost two
bright pupils already this year. Last
year but one death occurred in the
whole school , which numbers nearly
500 pupils.
The funeral riteo will be conducted at
the house to-morrow ( Thursday ) after
noon at ] :30 : o'clock. Rev. George
Reed , of St Luke's church , assisted by
the Rev. E. D. Tom kins , of St. James'
church , will officiate. Long Branch
( N. J. ) Times.
A Practical Suggestion.
The Hastings Independent thinks
that when the farmers of Nebraska
"cure their own meat and quit selling
their hogs for 3 or 4 cents a pound , and
buying their hams and shoulders back
at 12 and 15 cents , there will be better
times in this state. " Why this is not
done , says the Kearney Era , is easily
explained. A majority of Nebraska
farmers know absolutely nothing about
curing meat. They do not realize their
loss by not slaughtering the hogs and
curing the meat. An outlay of $50
will give any farmer conveniences for
curing the flesh of 50 hogs , 250 pounds
each. If these were sold to hog deal
ers at 3 cents a pound the farmer re
ceives $375 for them. If they were
killed and cured by the farmers and
sold at the average price of 12 cents a
pound , $1,000 would be the amount re
ceived , over and above the $50 outlay
made for curing , and one-third off from
gross weight for loss in killing. Sup
pose that only 10 cents a pound was
received for the cured meat , even then
the farmer would be the gainer. Can
be clear $400 any easier ? Can he af
ford to raise cheap corn for market at
10 cents a bushel , when he can fatten
20 hogs with 500 bushels , and cure the
meat and sell it at 10 cents a pound ?
