, much of a surprise to the friends
+ . of these worthy young people.
The bride , who is a daughter of

most estimable young lady who
' through years of association with
, our people , has made many
. friends Th groom is the son of

t . . . . . . . now of Tecumseh. He is a wide
\ awake , hustling young man , well
liked and popular. He has a
. l- bright business future before
. I I ) l /
t.
convey to the polls , ladies who
desired to vote for the school
.
board. At each of the polling
places a number of ladies exer-
cised the franchise.
The story of the result is best
told by the table.
, . The election marked the close
of a very quiet campaign and one
in whibh but little enthusiasm
was aroused. The vote on the
referendum was somewhat of a
.
surprise as the measure did not
receive the vote that was expected -
ed from some quarters.
him. The Ulan ) ' friends of both
bride and groom unite in extend-
ing congratulations and the best
of wishes.
The marriage of Kathleen Cary
to Herbert Chapman occurred . at
St : l\Iarys Episcopal .church in
Nebraska City Wednesday. The
bride is quite wen known in this
city , being the daughter of Re\
Cary at one time rector of St.

Y
Completely Surprised.
L. J. Hitchcock a prominent
farmer and stock raiser living
northwest of this city , was com-
pletely surprised by a number of
his friends who caned at his home
Tuesday for the purpose of help-
ing him to celebrate his sixty-
sixth birthday. The surprise was
planned by Mrs. Hitchcock and
so cleverly was it arranged , the
victim knew nothing thereof until -
til the arrival of . the guests. Mr.
Hitchcock came to this county in
1860 and and still owns the farm
upon which he located at that
time. It was a pleasure to his
fellow pioneers to be present at
this birthday anniversary and to'
thus testify to the esteem in
which they hold their old friend
and neighbor. For this occasion
Mrs. Hitchcock had prepared a
dinner that can hardly be describ-
ee1. After each had partaken
thereof to the limit of his capac-
ity , there still remained a feast
fit for a king -Mrs. Hitchcock
was assisted in serving by" Mrs.
" ' 01. Hoffnell and 'Mrs. Jacob
Bloom After dinner Mr. and
Mrs. Hitchcock were taken in
custody by Sheriff Hossack and
D. C. Simmons who had been
duly deputized , and were escorted
tq the parlor where each was pre-
sented with a fine rocking chair.
The gatherfng listened to an ad-
dress by John M. Holt of this
city , who grew very eloquent in
his references to the years of association -
sociation and the ties that bound
alike host and hostess and guest
The following is a list of those
who were present and the year in
which each came to this county :
Wm. Kinsey , 1857 ; D. C. Sim-

election board in the second ward

The work of rebuilding the
German hall is progressing rapid-
ly. The roof is nearly completed
and in a short time the Arions
and Deutsche Gesselschaft will
have a finer hall than they had
before the fire.
A man was coming down the
street and paused to look at the
window display at Alex Meyers :
hardware store. He took ju t
one look , 'and then began to
groan and drawing a flask of . .
whiskey from his pocket , dashed
it on the stone walk. He then
called upon the bystanders to
bear witness to the fact that he
pledged himself never to take an-
other drink of the stuff that
would make a man see red , pur-
ple and green chickens walking
around in the window of a hard-
ware store. He was much relieved -
ed when he learned that the highly -
ly colored chickens formed a part . j
of an incubator advertisement ,
which went to make up a very j
clever window display.
