Kincaid'Ironmonger
A very beautiful wedding occurred
last night at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. B. H. Ironmonger whereby their
daughter. Minnie , was united in mar
riage to Mr. W. T. Kidkaid , of Val
entine , Nebraska. About sixty rela
tives and friends were present to wit
ness the ceremony. Shortly after 8
o'clock little John Green and Freda
w
Enlows entered the room where the
guests had assembled , each bearing a
ribbon which marked the way for the
bridal procession. Then came eight
ladies singing that ever grand and
inspiring chorus , the bridal march
from Lohengrin. They were followed
by Arthur and Ben Ironmonger.
Then came the groom attended by
Joe Ironmonger , followed by the bride
attended by Lottie Green. The cer
emony was performed by Rev. K. S.
Miller of Petersburg. Immediately
after the ceremony the bridal march
was sung again and the party march
ed to the bride's table. The guests
were then seoted at tables and a fine
wedding supper was served. After
supper the bride and groom received
the well wishes of all present and the
evening was spent in a social way.
The happy young couple receive many
beautiful presents.
Mr. Kincaid is the nephew of W. I.
Kincaid of this city. He is a young
man of good business ability and pos
sesses many of those traits of charac
ter which go to make up true man
hood. He holds a responsible position
with a large store at Valentine , Neb.
Mrs. Kincaid has been long and fav
orably known in this city , enjoying
the love and esteem of a large circle
of friends. For years she sang in the
Presbyterian choir and was an active
worker in the Christ 'n Endeavor of
that church Mason City (111. ( ) Ban
ner , June 29.
Mr. and Mrs. Kincaid arrived here
Sunday morning , after having visited
for a short time at LeRoy , Illinois ,
and are stopping at The Donoher un
til their new home on Macomb street
is ready for occupancy , which will be
"about two weeks. The paper quoted
from has concisely outlined the char
acter and position of the groom , and
during our short acquaintance with
the bride we have formed a very high
opinion of her worth. To our mind
this union is one which combines in a
rare degree all those qualities of
mind and heart which are necessary -
to perfect lives , and we join with a
host of friends in wishing the couple
a long , happy and useful life , filled
with many of those joys without
which no life is complete.
Committed Suicide
Last Thursday Ike Newlands. from
Sparks was in town and was appar
ently as well and happy ns Usual , but
Friday morning he lay cold in death ,
having committed suicide. lie came
home from town and retired at the
usual hour , Thursday. During the
night the desire for death entered his
brain , and rising from his bed he took
the squirrel rifle which hung upon the
wall , went outside , seated himself at
a corner of the house , deliberately
placed the muzzle of the gud in his
mouth and pulled the trigger with his
toe. He sat up probably for several
minutes , and then fell over , dead.
No sound was heard by the inmates
of the -house , and naught was known
of the tragedy until next morning at
sunrise. The coroner was immedi
ately notified and the jury empaneled
by him returned a verdict in accord
with the foregoing facts. Deceased
was a social member of the Woodmen
lodge , and a committee composed of
Messrs. Morrissey , Taylor and Lay-
porte attended the funeral Saturday. \
Interment took place in Sparks cemetery - \
etery in the presence of a large concourse - j
course of friends and acquaintances. ,
Candidates are Scarce
Candidates for the various offices to
be filled this fall are either scarce or (
else they are all making still hunts (
for the places. The only contest like
ly to take place in the republican
convention will probably be over the
place for sheriff , although it is gener
ally conceded that Lee Layporte will
carry off the prize. We have heard
but little lately of Ted Ormesher's
boom for treasurer , so presume the
hot weather has cooked it. There
will be no contest for superintendent ,
and the republicans ha\fe no valid ex
cuse for turning down John Daniels ,
even though many would like to do it.
Wants Damages
Some time ago Henry S. Brock met
with an accident at the Berry bridge ,
his wagon loaded with wheat falling
into the river.At the time it was ,
not known that Brock sustained any
injury , but he began a case against
the county last week asking for $2,500
damages because he hurt his ankle.
He alleges that the bridge was unsafe
*
and that although the county knew
this it had not taken reasonable pre
cautions to protect traveler. Judge
Walcott is attorney for the plaintiff
and the case will be heard at the next .
'
term of district court. '

People in this section of ibe state are
wondering where the cattle are to come
from to stock the ranges next year , or
after the fall shipments.
At South Omaha last week hogs av-
erage'l 10 rents higher than the week
befor , selling at $3 77 to SiS-S-l , with
good prospects fur a .still tuither'rai.e. .

A traveling man matched himself
against a horse in a twenty five yard
race at Billings last week , the outcome
demonstrated that the sprinter was ten
feet and one hunderd dollars short.
The spring movement of cattle has
been lighter than usual. The move
ment from the south was late starting ,
says the national live stock association '
bulletin , and is fully 75 per cent below
that for mimy years prior to 1868 , and
prices have ranged lower than a year
ago on this class of cattle. The drouth
in the south and rather crowded ranges
induced more liberal selling on the
close of the season. All cattle moving
consisted of yearlings and a few 2-year
olds , there being nothing in sight above
these ages.
The Miles Cit/ , Montana , Journal
in an article dealing with the growth
of grass , says it has made a strong
growth the past few weeks , Avhich led
many to suppose that it might afford
only ' 'mushy" food for cattle. The
grass was supposed to be quite too rank
to benefit cattle appreciably , but the
appearance of stock has demonstrated
this to be a mistake. Cattle are gain
ing rapidly. So also are horses. This
i& not saying that cattle are already fat ,
because in Montana the live stock came
Dut of the exacting weather of last win
ter and early spring with very little
flesh to cover their bones. Ilecupera-
tiou must precede fattening. Cattle
and horses are looking sleek but are
jret thin. t
