Omaha Bee , June 20 : One of the
most attractive events of June was
the wedding of Perry McD. Wheeler
to Miss Florence Campbell , daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Campbell , 2701
E street , last night. The event had
been announced nearly a month and
during that time numerous functions
leading up to the finals marked the
nttontion it merited in the city.
The ceremony was performed by Dr.
R. L. Wheeler and although the most
simple In the rituals of the church ,
was most touching and solemn. Perry
McD Wheeler Is the only child and the
ceremony was very near to the heart
of the reverend doctor. He intro
duced the nuptials by a short talk on
the sacredness of the institution and
Its venerable observance in the history
of the world. He especially urged the
reverent and Ideal conception , which
comes near to making the ceremony a
sacrament to God. Then he pro
nounced the vows which the groom
and bride repeated after him. Little
Dorothy Campbell , niece of the bride ,
was ring bearer. The son repeated the
pledge of the ring and the doctor pro
nounced his benediction , while his
usually strong and hearty voice was
trembling with emotion. In conclusion
he said : " 1 introduce , kind friends ,
my son and my daughter. "
The service was Introduced by a
vocal solo , "I Promise Thee , " by
Reginald Do Koven , sung by Miss Rlla
Huntzberger of Pender. She was ac
companied by Miss Adeline Dlmock ,
Miss Dlmock played the wedding
march and chorus from Lohengrin ,
Ten girls sang the lines of the chorus
nnd led the march to the parlor. The
bridesmaids were Margaret Randall
May Marshal , Jeano McDowell
Blanche Johnson , Babel Dlmock , Mil
dred Jones , Cora Barclay , Nell Lefler
Ruth Wheeler and Hattlo Boberts ,
The parlors were trimmed In rosei
nnd Brallax. The bride were pure
white chiffon batiste , trimmed wltt
embroidery and Valenciennes lace. 8h <
_ < arrlcd a shower boquet ot white roaea
Congratulations were extended by
Hcvcnty gut-Ms of the family. After
half an hour light refreshment was
served. Before this function was
finished , the bride and groom , two very
popular young people of the city , de
parted on their wedding tour amid
showers of good wishes. A large
delegation of South Omaha high
school pupils were on hand to wish
the favorite principal of the high
school good luck In his new life. They
Indulged the most throat splitting yells
and other pranks. The bride nnd
groom will visit Minneapolis nnd Wis

"If any one pulls off a ten-round
boxing match In Spokane all concerned

morning.
"The scrappers who never do a day's
work can not come here nnd take
away money by disobeying the law.
"If six-round boxing matches re
sult In open fights over the division
of the spoils , there will be no more
boxing matches.
"I will be the last man to prevent
boxing matches before a club of Spo
kane's representative citizens , where
sport Is the only object but I will not
stand for the Influx of a lot of meal-
ticket vagrants. "

NORFOLK TRAIN ENGINEER DIS
CUSSES SITUATION.
TAFT LABORING MAN'S FRIEND
Bryan's Promises to Make the Rich
Man Poor and the Poor Man Rich.
While Attracting a Certain Number ,
Does Not Get Labor Vote.
The railroad trainmen of the United
States will not vote solidly for any
one presidential candidate. Their
votes will be divided between Tnft
and Bryan. Most of them nre repub
licans , all of them believe In the re
publican doctrine of protection be
cause of its Influence upon American
labor , and while some of them will
vote for Bryan , many will not bo af
fected by his promises to make the
rich man poor and the poor man rich.
This is the opinion of a Northwest
ern locomotive engineer who owns bis
home In Norfolk and is prominent
among the railroad trainmen.
"Organized labor will not be found
voting solidly for either candidate , "
he said. "While there was some furore
aroused by attacks on Mr. Taft be
cause of his Injunction decision , most
of the thoughtful trainmen , studying
the matter , have come to realize that
Mr. Taft as judge would have had to
go outside the law to have rendered
any other decision than the one he
did give. Railroad trainmen nre an
intelligent body of men. They realize ,
for the most part , that you might as
well throw away the constitution of
the United States as to throw away
the court's right to enjoin. And most
of them realize that no man on earth ,
be he Bryan or any other man , could
possibly do away with the injunction ,
no matter how long he were presi
dent. "
Stand Up For American Labor.
"Yes , trainmen are protectionists , "
he continued. "Why shouldn't they
be ? They don't want the standards of
the American laborer lowered. They
don't want to make American labor
compete -with Hungarians and
Chinese , whose standards of living
are far below ours. We want to see
American labor earn enough to live
comfortably , educate the children and
put a little money aside for a rainy
day. And that's what protection
means. "

SCHEDULES IN THEN SAYS AL
LOTTING AGENT SCRIVEN.
SCRIVEN TALKS IN SIOUX FALLS
Provided the Unforseen Does Not
Arise Agent Says That Last Sched
ule Will Be Filed by September 15.
Then Proclamation.
Sioux Falls , S. D. . July 11. Special
to The News : John H. Scriven ,
special agent in charge of the work
of allotting lands to Sioux Indians In
Gregory. Trlpp nnd Meyer counties ,
while In Sioux Falls on business be
fore the United States court , gave
some interesting Information In con
nection with the progress being made
In the work of allotting lands to In
dians In Trlpp county.
The surplus lands of the Rosebud
Indian reservation In Trlpp county
have been ceded to the United States
and will be opened for settlement as
soon as the work of allotting Indians
In that county Is completed. Thous
ands of persons throughout the north
west nre keenly Interested In the pro
gress being made in this work , as they
Intend securing homesteads In the
tract of 000.000 or 700,000 acres which
is to lie opened.
Special Agent Scriven states that'
If nothing unforseen arises himself
and the men working tinder his direc
tion will have completed the work of
allotment In Trlpp county , and he will
have filed his chcdule with the author
ities at Washington , by September 15
next. Therefore If nothing else Inter
feres the surplus lands will be ready
to be opened to settlement by procla
mation of President Roosevelt.
The excessive rainfall this spring
has greatly interfered with the allot
ment work , nnd for days at a time
It was absolutely Impossible for the
allotting crews to make their way
about the country. Some weeks ago
Agent Scriven was authorized to put
on an additional crew in order to
push the work of allotment , but owing
to the excessive rainfall he has not yet
jeen able to put the additional crew
[ it work. However , he expects to
have the additional crew in the field
early in the coming week.
Allotting Agent Scriven is well
aware of the impatience of the thous
ands of intending homesteaders to
: iave the work completed so the land
can be opened , and in the effort to
iiish the work to completion at the
earliest possible date he has person
ally worked day and night and Sun
days in order not to lose any time.
Mr. Scriven has received a total of
809 applications from Indianas who
wish to take allotments In Meyer
county. The only thing that can Inter
fere with the opening In the fall of the
surplus lands in Tripp county Is
whether or not some of these appli
cants will change their minds at the
last moment and strive to secure
allotments in Tripp instead of in
Meyer county. It Is thought that
should any of them do so their appli
cations for a change from Meyer to
Tripp county , if filed at the last
moment , will be rejected by the
authorities of the Indian bureau at
Washington , compelling them to
take allotments in the county where
they originally intended to locate
their lands.
The work of allotting lands to In
dians necessarily is slow and tedious ,
as the Indians cannot be made to
understand the necessity for prompt
ness on their part and will consume
all the time possible In making their
selections of land and in finally ex
pressing themselves as being satisfied.
When the surplus lands In Tripp
county are finally opened to settlement
It Is generally expected that one of the
greatest landrushes In the history of
the northwest will take place. In
anticipation of this the towns borderIng -
Ing the immense tract which will bo
opened are making preparations for
caring for the great swarm of eager
landseekers who will pour into the
region.

has been making the farmers hustle

ary three times before it is too largo
to plow.
Many people have a foolish Idea
and dread of society. Any man , who
acts naturally and respectably need
have no fear of society. Society asks
nothing that Is not natural , polite and
agreeable. Good manners on the street
and at homo will pass very well for
good manners In society.
Every time a drunken man Js ar
rested , he declares that the policeman
who arrested him was drunker than
ho was.
