presence of number of friends and
relatives, at the home of the brides par
ents, bliss Clara E. Rhodes was ioIned
in marriage with Mr. Frank w. Buch-
ner. Miss Linda Rhodes. sister of the
bride was bridesmaid, and Clark Buch-
ner was best man Rev. p II. Mason
performed the ceremony. The bride
vas prettily gowned in white swans
down and carried beautiful bouquet of
marichalneil roses. The groom wore
the conventional black snit.
The ceremony was performed in the
large sitting room, the bride and groom
with attendants marching in from the
parlor to the beautiful strains of a we'd
ding march played by Miss Lizzie
Scmitt. Rev. p II. Mason pronounced
the ceremony which joined the happy
young couple for life, in the midst of
the relatives, who were arranged on
either side of the room, forming an isle
in which the minister and bridal party
stood. The friends of the bride and
groom, who were present, stood in
different parts of the room, which was
decorated simply but artisticly with
choice flowers.
At $3.50 p. m. delicious refreshments
were served, after which congratula-
tions were extended, none the less hearty
though conventional, and many beau
tiful presents were presented by both
relatives and friends. A parlor sewing
machine presented to the bride by Mr..
IL. Buchner, father of the groom, is
worthy of special mention. When fold
ed it makes a beautiful writing desk,
and there is nothing about its appear
ance to beget a suspicion that there is a
machine inside.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. aud
Mrs. j. f. Rhodes and was one of the
cities most estimable and charming
young ladies, esteemed and highly re-
spected by all. She has lived in tits city
since childhood and received her educa-
ton at the High School here, of which
she is a graduate, graduating in the
same class with Mr. Frank Buchner, the
groom, who. was also reared in this city,
He left home shortly after graduating,
going to Omaha, where he found lucra-
tive employment Since leaving the
city, he has spent most of the time in
the west, but has also been in the east,
in Detroit. He is at present located at
Milwaukee, engaged in the hardware
business.
The young couple contemplated a
trip TO Chicago, and'were to have left
last Thursday afternoon; but had to
give it up ON account of washouts on
the Galona r. r. They left Friday
morning for Milwaukee, taking with
them the best wishes of all.

PLATTEVILLE NORMAL COMMENCE
MEMT

On Wednesday June 22nd the happy
day for the Normal class of 80 arrived.
For four years the class looked forward
to this day when they would receive
the highly priced sheep skins. The
graduating exercises took place at ten
O'Clock in the city hall Owing to the
almost impossible roads and the in.
clement weather, the attendance from
other towns was not as large rs usual,
but rs it was the hall was filled to over
flowing and many were unable to oh.
tain seats.
The stage was tastefullY decorated
with flowers and ferns, the result of
the labors of the benevolent juniors
who spared no pains that it might b.
attractive. The exercises were well
prepared and reflected credit upon the
school. The chorus under the train
ing of Prof. Shnwalter furnished some
excellent music while the essays and
orations were induces of the strength
of the class that this year leaves the
Normal
The class numbers thirteen, six boys
and seven girls. Each graeed the ros-
trum separately, then all appeared and
was addressed by the president of the
school after which they were presented
with their diplomas.
In the afternoon at O'Clock the
people again assembled to listen to the
class exercises The class departed
from the usual method and presented
something new and very pleasing.
After the presidents address a short
drama was enacted representing a
reunion Of the class after ten years Of
experience with the world The exer-
cises were concluded by singing the
class ode composed by Fannie Mae
Richards

BARNETT --KALTENBACH NUPTIALs.
Thursday afternoon at 1890 Miss
Bell Kaltenbach. of Potosi and
Harry Barnett, of this city, were joined
in marriage by the Rev. A Salick.
The marriage occurred ut the house of
the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Con-
rad KaItenbach, of Potosi in the pres
ence of few intimate frienGs and the
relatives of the bride and groom, Miss
Hattie Barnett attended the bride and
Mr.. Andy Kaltenbach supported the
groom. The ceremony that joined for
life the happy couple, took place IN the
spacious parlor which was elegantly
decorated with choice flowers of all
kinds In the center of the room hung
a large bell shaped boquet of roses and
under this this the bridal party were
assembled while the ceremony was per-
formed.
The bride wore a neat fitting dress
of white Bedford-chord, beautifully
trimmed with costly laces. The brides
maid also wore white, trimmed in an
artistic manner with lace. The contem-
plated wedding tour to St, Paul, Min
ne3ota. was put of, from necessity, the
young people not being able to get to
Dubuque over the Burlington on ac-
count of the recent washouts.
The bride, Miss Bell, Kaltenbacb, is
one Of Potosi's most eslimable young
ladies Of which city she has been resi-
dent from childhood. her father is
prominent business man of that place
and, like his estimable wife, is wei
thought Of and esteemed by all
As to the groom, Mr. Harry Barnett,
nothing need be said. His life in this
city since birth speaks in more ac-
curate and complimentary manner of
his worth, and the esteem in which he
is held, than can be written.
Suffice it to say then, that no young
man of the city or country has more
true friends in this city; who now ex-
tend their hearty congratulations to
the happy pair, and sincerely wish them
a happy and prosperous future, in
which the HERALD heartily concurs.

Madison was the first State institution
OF learning to recognize the Importance
OF the summer school in connection with
high school work and to organize upon
permanent basis, the leading school
of its kind in the United States. That
these institutions have great merit no
one who knowsl anything about the
work will doubt. There courses of
study are so arranged that anyone at
tending can take up such branches of
study as he desires and devote Just as
much to the persnit OF each as he deems
best. While the Madison School holds
chiefly in view the needs of high school
principals and assistants, the other
schools have at heart the interests of
teachers of the common schools. These
institutions are time savers. have given
a healthy impetus to educational work
and are worthy of a hearty Endorsement
by the people.
One of the most delightful social
events of the season was the lmpromptu
dancing party given by Messrs Showal-
ter, Walker and Altizer, at the City
Hall, last Thursday eve. 1t was the
intention of the promulgators OF the
event, that it should take place Wednes-
day eve, and all arrangements had been
made TO insure q pleasant time, but the
lnclemency of the weather prevented
their being carried out and necessitated
the pospOnement of the party unit
