FORT SIDNEY.
Over Two Hundred Coxeyites will
Be Confined There.

Be Confined There.
OMAHA, Neb., June 16.-Judge Dundy
has decided that the $50 commonwealers
captured at Ogallalla shall be trken to
Fort Sidney. recently abandoned, and
kept until tried, and If convicted. COM
PEELED to serve sentence there. The
Omaha JailS would not hold the $50 men.
The cost will be much less for the
court to go to Fort Sidney for trial, than
to bring the men here. The judge
thinks that the wealers committed overt
acts i'll order to be arrested aud brought
here for trial, Knowing at least that
they would be 800 miles on their jour-
ney. The only feature likely to
precipitate conflict now is when the
Wealers find they are not to be brought
to Omaha, as they outn umber de-
puties nearly 2 to l. Judge Dundy re-
ceived telegram this afternoon from
Attorney General Oluey, as follows:
Have arranged with the war depart
ment to have the military reservation
and buildings at Fort Sidney used tor
the purposd of contining the captured
commonWealerS as you requested"
Deputy Cuggeshall telegraphed Judge
Dundy that he is running short of sup
plies, and will start for Fort Sidney TO-
morrow.
In speaking of the matter, Judge
Dundy said: "Tbese fellows are pretty
sharp, and it looks to me as they only
seized that train last night for the
purpose of being brought to Omaha
for trial. thus placing them that
much further East. l am informed
that there is large number of miners in
the crowd at OgaIalla who engaged in
the Cripple Creek riots, seeking now to
get out of the country. Ii this is fact.
shall turn them over to the Colorado
authorities in order that they may be
punished for their uniawfuiness in the
mining regions."

The queer square window panes, the
crooked narrow stairWayS, the arrange
ment OF the storerooms, cupboards and
doors, everything. in fact, excites curl
oSity. Over the old-fashioned fireplace
there is line of tile pieces bearing
pictures of old castles and dwellings,,
said to have been there origin ally.
The old white paneling in different
places IS said to be exactly like that of
Washington's house at Mount Vernon.
One of the strange features of the
building is the ends of the joists stick
ing through the walls. so they appear

Congress was in session at Philadel-
phia iu June, 1877. Gen. Washington
was anxious that congress should adopt
definite and satisfactory design for a
national flag, one that should be en-
blematical of the limited Colonies"
the thirteen states comprising the
Union of the United States. At his
suggestion committee was appointed
to carry out the proposition, te pro-
vide national flag to take tine place
of the one adopted Jan. l. 1776.
The flag of rs was made in. imitation, in
part. of the British flag, having upon it
twelve stars, six-pointed. like the Brit
ish star. Washington's request was
granted,a committee upon the flag being
appointed, composed of Col. George
Ross, Robert Morris and Benjamin
Franklin. In those days, as now. the
women were active participants in pub
lie affairs, and no man of that time was
quicker to respect and encourage their
interest than Gen. Washington. When
the committee appealed to him to desg-
nate fiagmaker he at once proposed
that they consult Mrs. Betsy Ross, Il
Quaker lady of Philadelphia, then con-
sidered the finest needleWoman in the
country, when needlework was the art
of skilled hands and nimble fingers. and
women emulated each other in the ac-
comp!ishment Washington had a fond
ness and admiration for fine needle
work, and was we'll aware of the genius
and skill of the expert Quakeress, for she
it was who had made the dainty ruff1es
for his shirt fronts, to which he was de-
voted, and embroidered them with
stitches as fine as fretwork. Washing
ton Immediately decided that Mrs. Ross
was the person of all others who should
be the flagmaker. He attended the
committee in their call upon her, and,
sitting in the parlor Of the quaint old
house where she lived, the general of
the United States armies drew the de-
sign of the flag. He made six-pointed
star. To this Mrs. Betsy objected de-
cldedly. terming 1t a British" star;
then she folded piece of paper, and,
with one snip of her dressmaker's scis-
sors, showed the greatest general of his
day how to make a real star, one with

BASKETT-TAUBMAN.
A Brilliant and Impressive Ceremony
SOlemnized on Wednesday
Evening.

"Mr. and Mrs. Robert Taubman request
the presence OF your company at the
marriage of their daughter. Fannie May,
to Mr.. Noble Emmett Basket, Wednes-
day evening, April IS, 1894, at nine
o'clock; Sixteenth and South streets,
Lexington, Missouri"
Thus read the handsome invitations tina
invited relatives and friends to the mag
nificent home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Taubman, on last Wednesday evening.
We hav enjoyed many w~ell-conducted
and delightful wedding festivities; but
for unique beauty Of arrangement, for
propriety and perfect taste in all things,
the wedding above named bears away the
palm. The elegant rooms of the brides
paternal residence were beautifully
adorned, and quickly filled with guests
friends whose enjoyment was tempered by
the natural regret at losing from their
midst a young lady SO deservedly loved
as was Fannie May Taubman.
The m in which the marriage
ceremony was performed was very beau
tiful. To the sound of the wedding
song" Emusic admirably suited to the
occasion,) the bridal party advanced
between rows OF silent guests, the brides
maids entering one by one in the usual
way, followed by their attendants, and
then took their positions to await the
bridal pair. The third bridesmaid, who
entered first, was Miss Martha C%renshaw,
attended by Mr.. o. T.. Harris; then Miss
Wayne Cobb and her attendant, Mr..
Robert M. Taubman. Two fairy-like
little ''fiow err girls,' Lillian M~oorehead
and Irene Stramcke, then came in, side
by side, and stood on either side OF the
brides position. These young ladies and
gentlemen entered SO quietly, with such
graceful self-possession, that nothing
could have been more pleasing. The
little fairy iiower-giris waited as il
unconscious of the many eyes fastened or
this charming tableau; and then-al
thoughts, all eyes, were, as usual, centereC
on the bride. She entered on the arm OF
her sister, Miss Daisy Taubman, while
the bridegroom came in by mother doc
with his groomsman, Mr.. j.. II. Jamison
The bridal pair stood beneath a lovely
canopy OF white and pink flowers. Rev
&. NJ. Bishop, pastor OF the NJ. L. Church
South, of this city, took his position
before them, and, amid n breathlesi
silence, read the beautiful and solemn
marriage service. 1t was the ordinary
"Methodist marriage SERVICE" without
ring; and, in n few moments, Fanni,
Taubman was the wife OF Noble Basket
every heart present wishing them a life o
true happiness, such as the union of two
souls cannot fail to bring.
For the many friends of the bride W
will try to give some idea OF the costumes
the supper, and one or W other feature
of this truly delightful occasion.
