HOTEL ST. REGIS, HEW YORK
The Acknowledged Leader
A T (AVELER'S TESTIMONY
"I always atop at the St. Regis when
In 'ew. York," remarked a man who
has traveled far and wide, both in
America and Europe. No hotel on
either continent so completely fulfills
my Ideals, none gives me such entire
satisfaction."
To those who know nothing about
Hotel ft. Regis by actual experience,
this may Beem exaggerated praise, but
It is borne out by the actual facta and
is the sentiment of thousands whs
have wisely chosen this matchless hos
telry as their metropolitan stopping
place. " ' .
The St. Regis occupies an enviable
position. It is the acknowledged leader
among the world's greatest hotels and
the one by which ajl others are com
pared. It is beautiful, attractive and
luxurious, but above all comfortable
and home, like. In point of service,
equipment, cuisine it stands unrivaled,
and yet the person of moderate tastes
and means may share its hospitality
and may dress and live according to
individual preferences with the utmost
complacency, for the St. Regis is the
most democratic of hotels In every par
ticular. In the matter of restaurant and room
charges there is also moderation. To
dine at tb St. Ren'.s costs no more
ihan ft other first-class hotels, while u
large outside room may be had at $4
a day. The same, with private bath, at
$5(6 for two people), or a parlor, bed
room and bath at $12.

Disappointment which moved the pretty

Ferry In the office of County Judge Cos
grave thla morning. The pair had made all
of their arrangements for marrying and

fortunately neither had reached the age
when the law allows the entering Into such

Miss Perry was accompanied by her
mother. Mra. Rachel Perry, who readily
gave her consent to the union, telling
Judge Cosgrave that her daughter was less
than It yeara of age and that she. the
mother, was but If years old when she was
wedded. The groom told the Judge, how
ever, that he waa only 20 yeara of age and
would not be twenty-one for a few months.
His parents are at the family home In
Vermillion county, Illinois, and he had
come out for the purpose of claiming his
bride and taking her back there. All of
their goods had been shipped and the wed
ding ceremony was all that remained , to
be attended to.
Mrs. Perry wanted to know If she could
not give consent upon behalf of his par
ents, whom she stated were old friends
and whom Bhe knew was willing for the
wedding to take place. She waa Informed
In the negative and was told In addition
that the girl was too young to be married
In Nebraska, even with the consent of
parents.
OMAHA PIOXEER VISIT" MIJfDE
Dr. A. Horn Telia Ineldenta of Hla
tar In Nebraska.
MLNDEN. Neb.. May 14 (Special.) Dr.
A. Horn, a lawyer from Danville. 111., father-in-law
of County Judge Carrlco. has
been spending two wecke of a western
visit here. Dr. Horn passed through this
part of the atate In 1858. and the change
now la a revelation to him. At that time he
lived for one year In what was then called
Omaha City In which he owned aome prop
erty now In the most central portion of
Omaha.
Dr. Horn bunted buffalo In 1858 In and
about the Fort Kearney reservation and
tells of some Interesting Incidents. He and
others were having a chase after ' aome
500 buffalo running towards Wood river.
This river, at the point towards which the
herd headed, la from twenty-five to thirty
feet deep and the hunters knew there
would be a dispersion, as the animals could
not possibly get across. To their consterna
tion, however, the biitfaloea disappeared one
after another Into the river, that la the
rear animals not knowing the leaders could
not get across. In their excitement to get
away pushed thoae ahead Into the river
until the river waa full and the remaining
passed over the bodies of those which had
filled the river and formed a bridge across
which they could pass. As soon as the herd
had passed over those In the liver One by
one got up and found their way out, and
not one was Injured or left dead. The In
cident passed off In half the time It takes
to tell It.
Mr. Horn is now 77 years of age. but looks
not much more than 60. He lived for a
short time near what Is now Elkhorn City,
west of Omaha. He relatea an Incident
when In the early days In Omaha a religious
exhorter held a temperance talk In a school
house where now the best portion of Omaha
ia situated. The exhorter became very
abusive In his talk and among those pres
ent was Territorial Governor Cuming, who
reaented the slanderous talk and requested
Dr. Horn to make a reply, which was done.
The debate stirred up the little village of
Omaha City and was the talk of the town
for some time.
