The ceremony took plaoe at 10 o'clock and a large number of relatives and friends witnessed the ceremony. After the words had been spoken that made them man and wife, the wedtliijfr festivi ties began and a general grand time was had. The young couple are very popu lar among their acquaintances and begin married life with unusual bright pros pects. The Journal extends congratu lations. Tbe grim reaper of death stops for nothing. This time it put down a being young in life j ost blooming into woman hood, and who was to be the leading principal in a wedding. Her name was Matilda Hittner, and the particulars her untiay demise is given below, taken from the Lindsay Post: "Miss Matilda Hittner, after an illness of lung fever of bat nine days duration, passed from this life to the great beyond last Friday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, at the age of 28 years snd 10 days. Funeral services were conducted by Father Stanslaus at the St Bernard Catholic church Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and interment made in the cemetery at that place. This death ia more sad owing to the fact that Miss Hittner was to have been married on Tuesdsy to Mr. John Jasper, snd was taken sick on the morning that they bad made prepara tions to come to town to purchase their wedding outfits." The following taken from the Fuller ton News-Journal would indiedte that our old-time friend J. C. Martin, a for mer resident of this city, is doing good work aside from his duties as a legal practitioner, and his many friends will wish him well under the "new dispensa tion:" "Last Suadsy at 3 o'clock, Coun ty Attorney J. a Martin of Central City, addressed the men's meeting at the Presbyterian church, taking for his text 'Christisn Brotherhood.' A large audi ence greeted the speaker and gave' him the closest attention. The spesker is well known in Fullerton and more than usual interest was manifested to hear what he bad to say. Religion has done a great work for Mr. Martin and his large circle of friends are more than glad to meet and greet him under the 'new oUspenaation.' His sermon was full of meat and went straight to the point on every essential proposition. Men of Ful lerton are always glsd to hear the genial attorney of Merrick county talk along these or other lines, and be w alwaya certain to have a good audience in Ful ler when he spesks." Nfjfcraftka m Mra.Lillieis agaia ia court, this time to ooapell the local lodge of Ben Har, of whieh her murdered husband was a member, to pay over to her theamoaat of the police left to her by Man Adis pstch says: "The oase of Mrs. Lena Margaret LOlie against the Supreme Tribe of Ben Har has been transferred to the Usited States circuit court from the district court of Bntler county. Mn. Lillie states in her petition her huabsad held two benefit certificates ia the Tribe of BeaHur at tbe time of his death, October 24, 1902. One of these was for $100, in whioh she wss named aathejomtbeaelciary with Mary E. Lillie. On March 7, -1903, Mary E. Lillie was paid $760 as her part of the certificate, but the other $760, of which the pUintif was the beaeflcate, baa never been paid. On Jaauary 83, 1901, Harvey Lillie took out another certific ate in tbe Ben Hur order for $1,500 of whioh Mrs. LeBa Margaret Lillie saya she was the sole beneficiary. All the payments, assessments, due and fees upon the certificate were promptly paid up to the time of the death of Mr. Lillie, the petition states, but payment on this benefit has also been refused by the Supreme Tribe of Ben Uur. Mrs. Lillie now brings suit 'against tbe Supreme Tribe of Ben Hur for the amount alleg ed to be due her on both certificates, $2,250, with interest from February 23, 1903, at 7 per cent" Mr. and Mrs. James McDermott of Humphrey, will soon make Columbus tbeir future home. After a long number of years of hard toil these people man aged to earn and save enough profit from their efforts, that tbe remaining days of their life wdl be spent in com fort and ease. The Humphrey Demo crat in spesking of them says: "Mr. snd Mrs. James MoDermott were given a farewell surprise part v at their home west of town Tuesdsy afternoon and ovening of this week by tbeir friends and neighbors. For 28 years Mr. and Mrs. McDermott have lived on the same place, and they will soon move to Colum bus' to spend their remaining days in rest They have labored haVd aad inces santly all these years and they are cer tainly now entitled to the rest they pro pose to take. It wan due to the con templated removal from the place that the' friends and neighbors of Mr. aad Mrs. McDermott decided to give them a practical demonstration of the esteem in which they are held by those who have known them for so manj years. The guests provided refreshments and.tne afternoon and evening was pleasantly spent in playing-cards and other amuse ments. The guests presented Mrs. Mo Dermott with a beautiful rocking chair and Mr. McDermott with a reclining chair." The Jonrnal has been asked by a High school pupil to explain the real meaning of the word "Buttinsky." Webster's old reliable dictionary contains about 25,000 words and the word buttinsky was for some reason left out The word de serves a place ia any English book of mssning. It is a slang word but must be recognized in our language. To give this young student as much information as possible, we find after hours of search and work that the lost word "buttinsky" is a man or woman, girl or boy, whose own business is of such small calibre that he or ebe amuses tbemself in the affairs of others. A "buttinsky" ia a wise guy, oveiflowing with advice, and has more eelf-confidenoe than they really know what to do with. They know how to run our government, could build our power canal, and even defeat Henry Lachnit for sheriff of Platte county this fall. A "buttinsky" is harmless if watched, snd the only harm ia that he is annoying, tiresome, and light in the upper room, and the only attention he attracts is about the same sort as that of a meddhxome ,mosquito. This is about the only solution the Journal can give of the meaning of the word "butt insky," and if tbe young student can gain any knowledge from this aitiole he is entirely welcome to it The followiag communication was received by a local representative of this psper. It roads as follows; Dear friend Joe. Here is an item for your next week's issue. Tbe N. W. G. A. of Col umbus held a business meeting- at Scharmmer's lake on Sunday Feb. 2. Officers, were elected as follows: John Gutzmer, presides t; A. H. Tschudy, vice president; Frank Sampek, secretary; RobElston. treasurer, Mel' Steinman, business manager. After the meeting a keg of "naila" was opened and liberally passed around". Tbe writer of tbia matter of news is no other but Lester Belford, aad who is at present in west ern Nebraska trying to paint every tele graph pole, fence post, cattle guard, and various other things red he is a member of a paiatiag gang working for tbe Union Pacific railroad. From other paragraphs of the letter it would seem that the Nebraska colony out there and on that special occasion "were well organized" and the only scrap they had ia there convenuoaoc etecuagomcers wa3 center ed on treasnrership which, after a bitter fight fell to Boot Elatoo.

The followiag account of the wedding of Mr. Braiato Miss Davis, at Silver Creek is taken from theM8aad" aad written by the father of the bride:. Wedaesday morning at 10, Rev J. F. Webster omaatiag. Miss Mildred Davis of Silver Creek aad Herbert J Braia of Columbus, were married at tbe home of the brides' parents, Mr. aad Mrs. D. F. Davis. It was a quiet home wedding, only re latives of thebride aad groom, and as sistsatgirl frieads of the bride, beiag preseat The couple left oa the 1232 train for Omaha, from wheace they will retura to there home a few miles south of Columbus in Polk county, aad will be at home after Feb. 15. The bride fe a yoaag: lady of character and worth, if Dad 'does say it, and Her bert got a prise. The groom, is a pros perous young farmer whom we have known since he was a youngster ia kaee pasts, and we approve of the match. Moaday afternoon the members of the Ladies Musical, of which Miss Davia is a member, called at her home and provid ed a general good time, bringing re freshments and presents, all of which constituted a happy period in the young girl's life. Tuesday afternoon tbe Kensington girls swooped down on tbe parental do- micle and brought loads of useful aad beautiful presents and their cheery smiles, making thing hum for awhile with tbeir merriment They called it a "China Shower" aad a "Granite Shower" but we think that it would better be termed a "Combination shower" much of which was contributed by others than the Kensington Girls. A handsome present was also received from Mildred's former co-workera in the Columbus printing offioe. The "Rice Sbower" came after the ceremony Wednesday, so did the "old shoes". The state meeting of the Nebraska Sons of Veterans will be held in Co lumbus Wednesday and Thursday, February 13 and 14. The sessions will be held in the Sons of Veterans hall and State Commander Bert J. Galley will preside. At this time officers for the coming year will .be elected, and there will be representa tives from the various Sons of Veter ans camps in the state. In sneaking of Allen Doone who will appear at the North Opera House, Tues dsy evenisg, Feb. 12th the Omaha World Herald says of him in "Kerry Gaw,"asseen in that city last season: As the successor of Joseph xnrpby, it would be difficult to praise Allen Doone to highly. He has an excellent voice and his acting never appears con trained. The supporting company is very strong and in every respect the plsy is well worth seeing. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Clark of Wood villa were in, the city Wednesday. Mr. Clark returned from South Oma ha Tuesday, where he took a shipment of cattle. He had quite an experience during the storm, having left St Ed ward Monday afternoon about four o'clock and arriving in South Omaha at5vo'clock Tuesday evening. He says it took all day to get from y alley in on account ot me storm. xir. Clark was unable to remain until his stock was sold and returned the tame evening. The second teachers meeting of the school year was held in the city hall, at Humphrey last Saturday, about forty of the teacher being in attendan ance. The program with the excep tion of Miss Gertrude Canfield's paper wis carried out The papers were all very good and showed careful preperation. One pleasing fe.-vtures of the meeting was the musicial por tion of the program. The next meet ing of the association will be held in Columbus at the call of the executive committee. Frank Fleming, an old soldier, died Tuesday at his home in the southeast part of the city from heart trouble The deceased was born in Austro- Huogary in 1830, and came to this country before the civil war, when he enlisted in Company I, Thirty-first Wisconsin Infantry.

A haabaad who reesaUy attaaded a eharch fair or social instill figuring oat jast where he is at financially.

The ladies held a eharch social of which they took articles offered for saw aad they were to be credited oa tbe dosation aa assouat equal to tbe price their respective articles should sell for. Now, my wife decided to take a cake. After soase very deep mathemat ics iato which no maa may eater aha decided this cake cost 50 cents aad won-' dered what she would do if it sold for less. Bat it dida't I attended the sorisl, not kaowing the exact coaditioaa, snd thinking to make my wife (who was so tired saecoolda't go) a preseat, priced this same cake. They told me it was $1.50. I thought Ibis a big price, but paid it, thinking I could help the church along the greater the price the greater thedoaathm. I wish that I had never taken tbe cake home. The' first thing she said waa: 4Wby Georsje. voa have paid $150 for afio-ceat cake. I know because I made it aayaeit' I saw that I is ia for it then, because my wife is exosptioasllyeooaomicaL Bat what aha said did not bother ma as the problem of the cake has.

My wife paid a $3 doaa tioa with a 50-osat cake aad 50 ceata ia moaey, heaee aha cheated the eharch out of $1, which makes a total lose to the eharch of $2.
