OTOE COUNTY BONDS.
Kean a. Co. Explain Their Reason For
formulating the Purchase


Repudiating the Purchase.
The fact that Kean & Co., of Chicago, re-
fused to accept the S7S,O0O Otoe county
bonds, purchased by Mr.. John Dele, their
Omaha representative, at u premium of 1905,
was first made known in financial circles
here through telegram to THE BEE from
Nebraska City to that effect. A reporter
called at the ONCE Of Mr.. Dale, who when
questioned, SAID:
"Shortly after made the purchase, which
was authorized by Kean & Co., received a
letter from that firm, in which they in
formed mo that the bonds were undesirable
for the following reasons, VIZ: That III Feb
ruary, 1883, the legislature vested the power
to issue county bonds in the county commits
sion that in March following the legislature
enacted law which authorized the issuance
of county bonds only upon vote of the peo-
pie. For this reason the law in this respect
was regarded complex, and the legality Of
the bonds regarded questionable. They also
stated that they had discovered that Otos
county had neglected TO pay in
terest on defaulted bonds, and
this, together with the other, made
an Investment in Otoe county bonds unde-
sirable. They claim that they authorized
the purchase OF the bonds under a misappre-
henson as TO their actual value ] do not
think Kean Il Co. have acted fairly in the
NATTER
Mr. Dean then handed the reporter a copy
of a letter which he addressed TO Kean 81
Co., relative to their action in not accepting
the bonds as purchased, Internationally. He
stated in the letter that he had reason to be-
lieve that the bonds were substantial, and
that he was fully convinced of the ability Of
Otoe county to meet its obligations. His let

enjoyed themselves as thoroughly as the
little folks. The picnicers were transported
to and from the park IN street cars, and car
riad with them well-hlled lunch baskets,
hammocks, and other articles that would

The pretty little house of worship on
North Twenty-fir street, known as St.
Marks Lutheran church, was the scene of
wedding OF unusual interest at high noon on
Tuesday. The contracting parties We're
Rev. George II. Schur, pastor of the church,
and Miss Nina Charles, member of his
flock. This would seem a most desirable
union, and the bridegroom manfully showed
that it was so TO him at least, as he sacri-
feed his pastOrate to wed this woman of his
choice But the bitter denunciations and
attempted intermeddling of disappointed
mothers with marriageable daughters are
too well known TO be rehearsed
The church had been beautifully decora-
ted for the occasion, and the sweet fragrance
of the many roses pervaaed the atmosphere.
In front of the pulpit was erected a large
arch OF bright-coiored flowers, and pendant
from tho center of this was u
of white roses. The desk in the
pulpit was loaded with lovely boquets At
the entrance to the church was placed a
floral horse shoe. The auditorium was
crowded with friends OF the contracting par
ties. Promptly at the hour of ~ the bride
and bridegroom entered the church and
marched up the west aisle 10 the swellin 4
strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march.

He was assisted by Rev. George Ii. Schnur,

was given the numerous friends present TO
extend congratulations TO the couple which
they did most heartily. The bridal party
was then driven to the home of the brides

Grand lodges and grand masters have no

The fact that q grand lodge adopts rcso.
