THE OMAITA DAILY REE: WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 24. 1001. VEDS WINE INSTEAD OF GIRL Proactive Groom Fails to Appear at ths Last Moment. BRIDE AND ALTAR, EVEN PRIEST, ARE THERE "jn ( ltl Ion Dlacloara Man la Ob. litlona of Ilia Ilctrotbnl and Bo (unvltlal Feast .tela-na Instead of nplal". ..iter providing on orchestra nnd an elab oi.ite wedding supper to which over 2(10 g if ts had bein Irvltnl, James Mnrun failed t i nppcar at the time, he was scheduled to marry Clara Hobbs. As a result there were ninny disappointed people and the young woman who waa to have been wedded Is disconsolate. The last reports that friends of Miss Il ibbs secured of the missing man was that .'.a had accumulated an extraordinarily - VTso load of liquid and waa atlll attcmpt- fc To reduce the available supply of the t.-tlllery output In Omaha. ("After what ho has done I wouldn't marry ilm now If ho -was worth a million," de clared Miss Hobbs when told that Moran i'as on a jamboree. I The disappointed bride-elect resided with er parents at Fourth arid Francis streets, he Is only 17 years of age nnd ha a most ttmrtlvc face and figure. The delinquent plover Is a quarter of a century her senior - tnd does not possess the physlogomy of a man who ever took first prize In a beauty how. AllhouKh Moran met Miss Hobbs but four months, ho has been engaged to her almost that length, of time. Versatile with Ilia Tongue. At their first meeting: he began to lay siege to her heart, and his enticing talk of love waa plentifully Interlarded with state menls of his great wealth, "Besides owning a large farm at Fair mount, Neb., Moran declared he was heir to vast property Interests in Illinois," said Mlsa Hobbs. Protestatluns of undying love caught the daughter and declarations of ealth cap tured the parents. Such an ardent wooer waa Moran that he went to board at the residence of his Inamorata, that ho might constantly bt near her. Last Saturday was finally set for the wedding. Invitations were sent broadcast, a band waa engaged and a caterer em ployed to prepare the feast Moran paid all the bills. "When we are married we will travel through California for a while, he told me," said Mlsa Ilobbs. Miss Ilobbs was the envy of all her fe male frlendH. They were at the Hobbs rewldenco In full force Saturday night. The, bridc-eleot was attired In white satin gown nnd slippers for the occasion; the bridesmaids also were gowned 'In elaborate manner and, as accounts of society events always state, the room In which the cere mony was to have been performed was a mass of flowers. The minister also was there nnd everything was ready for the ivmlrllnir Mrnt 1h nrnnnnMiVA Virtrl Broom. He hod failed to appear. Quests began to get anxious. So did the bride elect and her parents. "Mr. Moran waa called out of the city on urgent business last night," said Papa Ilobbs, "and maybe he waa delayed in get ting back." News of Dlleminat Spreads. As the minutes lengthened into hours the tardy lover had still failed to arrive. Grad ually news of the dilemma in which the young woman had been placed spread through the neighborhood and there was soon mote pt n, crowd, jn ,he outside then there was Inside of tho houBe.' Scouts had been sent out on a search for the missing Moran. At midnight one of them returned with the Bod tidings that Moran had apparently funked at the last moment and waa then going dnwn the cocktail route, deeply laden with liquor nnd badly listed. Tho minister was then turned away and Ilobbs, pere, sent to a brewery and got a barrel of beer. This was placed on tap alongsido the untouched wedding feast. "Friends," said Papa Hobbs, "It seems aa though my prospective Bon-ln-law has renleged. but we'll eat, drink and be merry, anyway." At this the gloom dissipated considerably and even the disappointed bride-elect liv ened up. "'I guess all Moran owns Is what he ha on his back," she declared. "I don't think ha ever owned n farm, so I guess I'm, pretty lucky." At the time of his dlsapearance Moran JUSTICE FINNEMORE Judga of the Natal Supreme 'Court, Sends tfia Following Remarkable Testimonial TO GUTIGURA The World Is Cuticu.u Field, Used Wherever Civilization Has Penetrated. " - I desire to give m.v voluntary v stU fnony to the beneflr-l effects of your Cutlcura Remedies I have suffered for some time from aa excess of uric In the blood i tnd since the middle Of last year, from a severe attack of Ectema, chiefly on the scalp, face, can and neck and on ouo limb. I was for Several months under professional treatments, but the remedies prescribed were of no avail, and I was gradually becoui'.ug worse, my face was dread fully ulsllgured and I lost nearly all my linlr. At last, my wife prevailed upon ine to try the Cutlcura Kemedles and I iravo them a thorough trial with the most satisfactory results. The disease oor. began to disappear and my hair cou-tnouced to grow again. A fresh grewth of hair Is covering my head, anl my limb (although not yet quite cured) Is gradually Improving. My wife U.uks so highly of your remedies that sbe has been purchasing them In order t3 make presents to other persons suf f'felng from similar complaints, and, as President of the Bible, Womeu'a boclety, has told the Bible women to report If any case should come under their notice when a poor person Is so afflicted, so that your remedies ntay be resorted to."

A persistent rumor to the effect that n traffic director is snnn to be appointed over the entire Vanderbilt system of rail roads has created profound Interest wher ever these lines touch or lire represented by offlres. It Is understood the candidacy for the position has simmered down to two persons. One of these Is II. B. Mitchell, nt rresent general freight traffic manager of the Michigan Central, nnd Captain O. J. Grammer, general traffic manager of the Lake Shore. A railroad official, in discussing the prob ability of the appointment, said: "I understand it Is up to W. H. Newman, president of the New York Central lines. He will have the appointing power nnd the place will fall to one of these men. Both are capable of filling such a place. The appointment will create a new office, ns there Is nothing of the kind now. What the effi-ct will be upon tho various lines I can't say. The ld"a, of course, Is to put a directing head over the entire traffic sys tem, the same as that which exists on the Hill nnd Harriman lines. It may result in the abolishment of some of the offices. but I doubt if the general truffle forces will be very much reduced. 'A similar office was created by the Oould system less than a year ngo nnd some changes were effected to strengthen tho traffic departments. It is of course an economical movement and will affect all the lines controlled by the Vanderbilt sys tem. Among some of the more Important of these are the New York Central lines, the Lake Shore, Michigan Central, Nickel Plato, West Shore, Iilg Four, Pittsburg & Lake Erie and the New York, Lake Erie & Western." PEACE ENTHRONED ONCE MORE Harmony at Hillside Church with Iterger Gone and Moore Out of the Fold. The dove of peace Is preparing to hover over the Hillside Congregational church after having been absent for many months. This will occur because the pastor, Rev. W. Francis Berger left town Tuesday and because the congregation, thirty-two strong, Monday night voted to leave J. W. Moore oat In the cold. For some reason the council selected to hear the Moore case failed to hand In a report until Monday night, though the report has been due many weeks. The report waa handed to the clerk of the church Monday and he at once sum moned a meeting of the members. The re port recommended that Mr. Moore be taken back In the church. With one accord the thirty-two members arose up in their wrath and voted to pay no attention to tho report of the council; consequently it was not adopted, and should Mr. Moore go back to tho church no fatted calf will be killed. Rev. Mr. Berger left for the east and It Is supposed he will again become an evai gellst. One member of the church, who has been a staunch friend of the retired pastor, said It was his opinion the report had been held back on purpose to allow the feeling to die out, when the Moore family could get back and cond'uet tho affairs of the church as of old. "This is what made the members present Monday night Indignant," he said, "and it was the reoson we voted down the re port so unanimously." UNDERSTANDS HORSE TALK Negro Wltneae Telia Court He Know Jnat What Rvery Kicker Men tie. In the hearing In police court of the case against Louis Spady, colored, charged with being cruel to his horse, a phenomena was brought to light. This was Albert Wlggs, colored, who from his expert knowledge of horses might be a' relative of "Mrs. Wlggs of tho Cabbage Patch." Wlggs testified that the horso owned by 8pady "nickered" for foot! and "nickered" for water, and when asked how he knew that was what the horse "nickered" for he said he under stood horse language and could tell every time what a horse wanted when ho "nick ered." Bpady put up a good defense and proved that he and his neighbors were not on speaking terms, but he failed to make good, for Judge Berka fined him $5 and costs. The case against Sunderland Bros., charg ing them with working horses unfit for use, was dismissed and a complaint will be filed against the driver of the team and against the stable man. Mr. Sunderland told tho prosecutor that he did not know the con dition of the horses, as the stablemen were responsible for them. Alfred Millard of the humane society con sented to have the complaint dismissed and the new ones will be filed. TOO MANY HEIRS TO ESTATE Twenty-Five Want Share In Cottage and Lots and Court Rejects Division. An equitable division of one and one thJrd lots and one small cottage among twenty-five heirs was declared to bo Im possible In the district court. Judge Troup accordingly ordered the property eold and the proceeds distributed. The property .Involved la an estate left by the late Annie Willing.

Ignatius Jehovah Dunn, Civic Federation attorney and general reformer, has f idled to convince Police Judge Berka that his clients, Walter Molse and Harry Hay ward, should not pay the penalty of selling liquor to minors at their saloon, 214-216 South Fourteenth street.

Phil Norton, 15, und Joseph Vsher, 10 years of age, testified they bought and drank liquor over tho bar of the Waller Molse & Co. saloon. The complaint was filed by Attorney Brltt some time ugo.

A general crusade to reduce telephone, gas and electric lighting rates and street car fares - by ordinance la announced by Acting Mayor Zimman.

Water rates are not to bo included, fur the reason that City At torney Wright has advised agalnwt tinker ing with them while the appraisement pro ceedings are pending.

"The city attorney has Informed me that In his opinion the mayor and council have the power to regulate the charges made by public service corporations of all kinds. I believe the rates charged by all Ave of the public service corporations are too high. . "Regarding street car fares, I should say a system of universal transfers, or from any line to another, should be Insisted upon and a special 3-cent fare made for the beenfit of working people between the hours of 4 and 8 In the morning and 4 to 7 in the evening."

Dr. Luddlng ton was cnlled, and together the two physicians did all that could be done, but Mr. Goets died In a very short time.
