Judge Sullivan decided the most important case ever tried in Buffalo county last week. It involved the rights of the county in certain transfers of property made about the time the Kear ney National bank failed, by W. A. Downing, R. L. Downing and W. T. Scott, who were bondsmen for that bank as a county depository. When it failed the bank contained 311,000 of county money. The judge set aside the transfers, which amounted to 351,000, and granted the county judgment for the amount of its claim. Lexington Clipper-Citizen. One of our enterprising citizens be lieves that it would be a good thing for Platte county to imitate the example of Boone on the west and Dodge on the east, and erect a first-class building for the accommodation of the county offi cers. Of course there will be a good many opinions as to where the house ought to be built, and how much it ought to cost and so on. Just on the beginning of a political campaign is hardly a good time to broach a project of this magnitude, with any show of satisfaction to all interests. The meet ing called for Monday evening last did not materialize, and so another is called for next Tuesday evening. August Schrader, the Divine Healer, passed through Platte Center last Wed nesday evening on his way to San Fran cisco. Quite a number of our citizens were at the depot to get a glimpse of this supposed wonderful man. He wore a religions looking blouse of a dark color. His dark brown hair fell in heavy locks around his shoulders. He wore a beard that resembled the one worn by our Saviour, as generally seen in pictures and this together with his exceedingly pale countenance gave him a very sanc tified appearance. To a Signal reporter Mr. Schrader said that he could speak all languages and loved all creeds. He professed to be the same Divine Healer who created such remarkable en thusiasm in Denver some two years ago, at which time the mistaken impression went abroad that his name was Schlat ter instead of Schrader. Whatever the truth may be about Schrader and his cures, he certainly possesses an appear ance which has an awe-inspiring effect on those who see or come in contact with him. Platte Center Signal. Bert Syaz is an orphan boy who has been with H. B. Reed for the past four years. He has been in the main u good boy, but like a good many of his sex, bis conduct is not always the most exem plary. Latterly he took a notion that he wanted to see something more of the world than he had been privileged to do, and so bestrode a pony belonging to Mr. Reed and started for Shelby. Sheriff Kavanaugh undertook the task of bring ing him home by sending out postal cards in different directions, describing the boy and the pony. A constable near Shelby apprehended the boy and brought him in with the pony, the boy, however, was found in one place and the pony in another. Mr. Beed thought if the State superintendent of the Chil dren's Home Society, Rev. E. P. Quivey, could take the lad, and again place him in a home farther away from town,where he would be from influence of bad boys, and given another chance to make a man of himself, it would be better for the boy than sending him to the reform school, and it is understood that this will be done. The marriage Monday morning at 9 o'clock, at the Catholic church, of Mr. John Murphy, of Rogers, and Miss Ag nes Fitzpatrick of this city brought out one of the largest crowds ever assem bled on any similar occasion at the Catholic church. The bride looked beautiful in a figured white sat in gown, wearing a long veil. Miss Sarah Fitzpatrick as bride's maid was dressed in white silk and carried roses. Miss Maggie Murphy, sister of the groom, and Miss McGuire were maids of honor; Miss Murphy was very prettily dressed in pink covered with chifon. Miss McGuire wore green cov ered with chifon. After the ceremony the relatives all partook of a bountiful breakfast prepared by the bride's moth er. The happy couple took the evening train for Salt Lake City and other points of interest in the west, where they will spend the honeymoon. Mr. Murphy, the groom, is an implement and grain dealer in Rogers and is an exemplary young man. Miss Fitzpatrick is the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Fitzpatrick and has grown to woman hood in our city. She is a young lady with many rare qualities that will fit her for making a model home. There are few young ladies who combine a practi cal business education, together with home-making, with as thorough knowl edge as Miss Agnes has received. The young people have the hearty congratu lations of a number of friends and ac quaintances for their future happiness and prosperity. Hill fifrsoHal Mention.
