m , . the office of the secretary of the
' committee in this city on Wednesday -
day afternoon , many of the committeemen -
mitteemen being present. John

Mau st. . Bryant.
At Kansas City , Mo. , Sunday
evening , April 30th , at c.:45 : !
o'clock occurred the marriage of
Albert Iaust of this city teNancy
Nancy Bryant of Kansas City.
The home of the bride's par-
ents , where the ceremony took
place , was beautifully decorated
for the occasion with cut flowers
and potted plants. The wedding
was a quiet one , being attended
only by the immediate relatives
oft h e contracting parties.
Shortly after the ceremony the
young couple took the Missouri
Pacific train for Falls City , arriving -
riving here Monday morning.
A large reception was given
11r and I \ Irs. raust by the par-
ents of the former , assisted by
: Mr. and l'frs. 1. C. 1\faust , on
Thursday evening , a more de-
tailed account of which we are
unable to give on account of go-
ing to press.
Albert ' 1Iaust is one of the
most popular and progressive of
our younger business men.
He , together with his brother ,
I. C. l'faust , has complete
charge of the coal and grain
business of E. A. Ialtst & Sons. '
His bride is i represented to be a
young lady of exceptional accom-
plishments and talent. She is
the daughter of a prominent
woolen manufacturer of Kansas
City , and will doubtless be a dis-
tinct addition to the young mar-
ried set.
: Mr and l\'Irs. Maust will make
their home in the residence va-
ceded by Dr. A. Gaiser on North
Stone street where they will be
at home to their friends
The Tribune extends its heart-
iest congratulations.
Word was received here of the
marriage of Bert Bowman and
Mabel McPherson at Denver , Col . ,
May 24. ' Mr. Bowman will be
remembered as the young man
whO was the foreman at the
Journal about a year ago

Chairman
Serious Charge Against Rule Man ,
Sim Burke one of 'Rulo's prom-
inent business men , was brought
to Falls City Wednesday night
charged with the commission of
statutory rape upon a sixteen
year old girl named 1\'IcClellan.
1\lr. Burke was released on bond
Thursday morning , Frank Sim-
mons and Jacob Sweinfurth signing -
ing the bond. It was related to
a Tribune reporter that 1'11' I
Burke who is about thirty-fiyc. \ .
years old and : a man of family , . . . .
bears an excellent reputation in
Rulo. That the father and ! the
girl were in halls City a few
weeks ago trying to prefer a similar - S
ilar charge upon another man ,
and that the citizens of Rule be- t
lieve : Mr. Burke to be innocent of 1
the charge. (
R. C. James , the county attor-
I
ney , did his full duty when hc
dismissed the indictment against
young Carson of Auburn. It
may be that the young man did
commit the offense wtih which
he was charged , in this county.
But it is a matter of commoned
knowledge that he also commit
it many times ill Nemaha
county Julge Stull came before
'
the grand jury of this county and "
got the indictment. We have '
troubles of our own , and if Judge
Stull wants Carson punished let
his own county bear the expense
of prosecuting its own criminals.
J ames did exactly righ
Little Boy lIurt.
On Sunday morning while on
his way home from Sunday school
the seven year old son of Mr . dnd
Mrs. Frank Vaughn was running
and playing on the Morton Street
viaduct and some way fell to the
, concrete flooring about sixteen
feet below. Little fellow was at
once taken to his home and Dr.
Houston was caned and the in-
jured members dressed , which
required a number of stitches to
be taken in the forehead. The
i patient is resting nicely and in a
I few weeks he will fully recover. , .
