In , in the piesence of between thirty and forty relatives and near friends of the high contracting parlies. The ceremony occurred in the parlor , under a canopy of lace curtains , decorat ed with stnilax and carnations , Rev W. J. Turner of the Congrrgaiional church performing the same At the appointed hour , to the music of the wedding march from "Lohen grin " played by a sister of the bride , Miss Stella Norval , the Inide and groom approached and took position under the canopy , where they were solemnly made one in the use of the ring ceremony. The bride was gowned in white Persian lawn , trimmed with insertion and lace , and carried a bouquet of white roses. The bride has grown from childhood to young womanhood in our city , being the youngest daughter of three in the Norval home. The groom is a machinist and well esteemed by all who know him They have the best wishes of a large circle of friends for their future happi ness , contentment and prosperity. After the usual congratulations , the parly sat down to an elaborate wedding breakfast spread with oil tastefulness and daintiness. The parlor and dining-room decora tions were of palms , carnations , roses and smilax. The parlor was decorated in white and green ; the dining-room in pink and green. Numerous pretty and rich gifts were received. The young couple departed on No. I * the same day. for California , expecting to spend a month on the coast. They will be "at home" at the Norval resi dence after December first. Mrs. S. S. Graham , a sister of Mrs. Norval , with her husband , of Elmwood , Illinois , were present , arriving in the city , Monday on i. Will be Practically New. F. C. Kellogg & Co. are taking ad vantage of the quiet time in the elevator business and have commenced improve ments to their elevator plant in this city which will give them a much larger plant and one to all purposes a new ele vator. A force of men is now at work tearing down much of the old elevator in preparation for the improvements , which will be varied. In the first place a new solid and heavy stone foundation and pit will be provided ; the building will be considerably enlarged on the ground floor , and an additional story built for bins and storage. A new roof will be placed on the building , which will be painted and thoroughly repaired and placed in first-class condition for business. It is the purpose to very largely increase the storage capacity of the elevator for retail purposes. When the work now mapped out shall have "been finished , McCook will have two of the best equipped elevators in the Upper Republican valley. For a Curfew Ordinance. A petition is being widely circulated and numerously signed , which will be presented the city council at its next meeting for consideration and action. Doubtless there is a strong demand for a curfew ordinance in McCook , where so many of the youth of both sexes are al lowed to be out too late at night unat tended. An ordinance of reasonable require ments , which can for that reason be successfully * 4 cessfully enforcedwill be quite generally approved in this city at this time ; and THE TRIBUNE expresses the hope of many citizens that the council may grant the petition and pass an ordinance in compliance therewith in the near future. McCook Well Represented.

It will be the oc casion of the first appearance of the new paster , Rey. George L. White. Meiklejohn at Orleans. Orleans , Neb. , October 23 , 1900. Or leans and Harlan county turned out in large numbers , this afternoon , tovel - come Hon. George D. Meiklejohn , assist ant secretary of war. American flags , streamers and bunting decorated the streets and business houses. . Every available hitching-post held a farmer's team , and the vehicles crowded the streets of the town as on a gala-day of a county fair. Bands from Stamford and Republican City and the famous glee club from McCook rendered stirring music. Dr. W. H. Banwell , mayor of Orleans , presided and introduced the distinguished speaker in a well-worded address. Secretary Meiklejohn for two lours held 2,000 or 3,000 citizens of Har- an county with rapt attention. His discussion of the issues of the day was able and logical. He was fair and gen tlemanly in his discussion , and won the respect , from the start , of his political opponents , who pronounce his speech an able and excellent effort. His arguments on the imperialism issue , from tlie stand point of a government official , were sim- ) ly unanswerable ; his answer to the charge of slavery in the dominion of the sultan ofSulu was conclusive and the charge was nailed to the cross ; Mr. Bryan's heresies vanished like vapor be- ore a summer sun. The leading issues of the campaign were handled by a master hand that carried conviction to even the biased. He spoke in the open air in the city hall square. It was the jreatest demonstration of the campaign n Harlan county. The opposition all speak highly of the man and of his peecb ; he left behind general respect of his standing as a gentleman , states man and orator. Republicans can con- jratulate themselves on the unmeasured uccess of the splendid meeting in Or- eans. From this point , the secretary went to Arapahoe , where there was a duplicate of the crowd and enthusiasm and suc cessful meeting. F. Sugar Beets. A few cars of sugar beets have already > een shipped to the factory from Mc Cook , and the returns have been quite- atisfactory. Of the four cars marketed , C. H. Meeker's report is 12 7 saccharine matter and 76.6 purity ; Conrad Uhrich , 4 9 and 83.9 ; Conrad Wacker on H. P. Button's farm , 15.10 and 80.7. These are all above the 12 per cent require ment of the company. In all between 30 and 40 cars will be hipped from this point , this season , [ emonstrating that beets of a high test can be raised at this place. This is an industry second to none in > oint of advantage and possibilities to his country , and should be encouraged. It is not too much to expect that a > roper effort will eventually locate a ugar factory in this point in the Repub- ican valley , which can be made the reatest sugar-producing section of Ne- jraska. A Halloween Party. The young ladies of the Awl-Os club are out with "butcher linen" invitations o the young gentlemen of the city for a Halloween party in Odd Fellows' hall , next Wednesday evening. The young adies are under bonds "not to do a thing" to the boys on the coming merry occasion. The ladies of the Aid society of the Methodist church will serve the refresh ments. The Initial Fortnightly. The Fortnightly club held its opening hop in the opera-house , last evening , with a large and brilliant attendance. The Pythian orchestra provided the music.

Thomson arrived home , Sunday night , from their flying trip to Omaha. Mrs. Thomson's sister , Mrs. William Randall , accompanied them home , and is spending the week here. Mr. Randall , who is the Burling ton auditor at Omaha , will arrive to night , and remain over Sunday. The meeting of the Railroad Men's club , last Thursday evening , is said to have been the best one yet held by the club. There was a large attendance of men from all branches of the service , aud the discussions were most interest ing and the information elicited most valuable to the men. Ass't General Sup't Rhoads from Lincoln , Sup't Camp bell and others joined in the discussions. The two subjects especially under con sideration were , "Train Delay , " "The Apprenticeship System. " Fred Palmer , who has been cashier at the depot for several months past , left for McCook , Monday night , having re ceived a promotion to one of the clerk ships in the office of superintendent. We regret to have Mr. Palmer leave Holdrege , but are glad that he is climb ing up in the railroad world. Mrs. Pal mer will remain here for the present , as Mr. Palmer can procure no suitable dwelling-house at McCook. H. J. Kick will take Mr. Palmer's place as cashier at the depot. Holdrege Citizen.

Walters vs. the company , to collect damages for the death of her son Edward in the terrible wreck at Indianola , October 5th , 1898. The case was hotly contested in the federal court before Judge Munger. The prosecution alleged that the deceased came to his death through the negligence of the company , and the company claimed and contended that the wreck was caused by carelessness to which the deceased con tributed. The jury rendered a decision in favor of the railroad company. The McCarl case was not taken up at this term. Use McMillen's sarsaparilla for the blood. Bargains bargains in wall paper at Loar's , The Meiklejohn Meeting. Wednesday evening , in the opera house. Hon. George D. Meiklejohn assistant secretary of war , addressed ai immense audience * of enthusiastic citi zens from city and surrounding country indeed not a few weie unable to secure seats. Mr. Meiklejohn handled the is sues of the campaign in a dispassionate manner , giving facts and quoting history to bear out his assertions , and even thosi opposed to him politically are forced tc admit that he made a strong case for the Republican party in the past and for its future continuance in power. A good portion of the speaker's time was utilized in presenting the tariff his tory of the Republican party ; and he succeeded in showing that prosperity and contentment have traveled in com pany with protection as practiced and held by the Republican party ; and that disaster and distress have followed the free trade doctrine of the Democracy. He touched the trust question in un mistakable terms , showing that about all the trust legislation America has ever had is the result of the efforts of the Re publicans in congress , and that the tjlauie for there not being more and bet ter legislation rests with the Democratic and opuhst members of congress , who by fillibustering and delaying considera tion of the measure proposed by the Re publicans , made legislation impossible at the last session of congress. After .showing up the free trade and free silver fallacies of the opposition , he closed with an exhaustive uiscussion ol he imperialism issue scared up by the Jemocrats when no other issue could be bund to fool the people , not all the lime , but this time. to the end that the offices might be secured. He placed nuch of the blame for the continuance of the insurrection in the Philippine slands Jo the attitude of the Democratic Darty in this campaign , and read letters rom soldiers in the field to prove his as sertion , which he-claimed could not be successfully denied. It is not possible within the limits of this shor.t article to even hint at all the splendid arguments presented by the speaker ; suffice it to say that he covered the whole real ground of the campaign thoroughly and convincingly. The Nebraska Brigade band and the McCook Glee club furnished music of most excellent and happy kind for the occasion , and thus added a very pleas ant and acceptable element to a political event of unusual interest. Both of the musical organizations are doing work that is finer than silk , just now , and their efforts were enchored to the echo. Hon. G. L. Dobson Will Speak. On the evening of next Thursday , November ist , Hon. G. L. Dobson of Iowa will speak in the opera-house on the political issues of the campaign as they especially interest the laboring man. Mr. Dobson is a laborer himself and is in a position to talk intelligently to working men. He has a word for railroad men , especially. He should be given a large hearing , especially by the laboring men of the city , who make up a large portion of our population. He will give reasons why the election of President McKinley is of greatest mo ment to the laborer. You can't afford to miss this address ; it will be one of the best of the campaign.
