WEDDING BELLS.
Marriage of EGiss Eta Gulick and Fred
Blacknan.

One of the prettiest weddings that
has occurred in Plank Road society
for many wears was that solemnized on
Thursday, Dec. y, between Miss Eta
Gulick and Fred Blackman at the resi-
dence of the brides parents.
The shades having been drawn, the
bright Examinations shed their soft
light over the happy guests assembled
for the occasion The floral decora-
tons, in pink and white, were the en-
bodiment Of simplicity and neatness,
rejecting the taste and culture Of the
bride.
At few minutes before 3 o'clock
Bessie Briggs, Horace Blackman, En-
ma Carey and Morris Moe, the little
ribbon people, prepared the way for the
bridal party. At the same instant the
soft strains of Memberships wedding
march foated through the rooms from
the piano, rendered by Miss Belle
BIackman, and the happy couple, pre-
coded by Miss Stella Blackman, the
maid of honor, took their places be-
Meath festoons of smilaX and carna-
tiOns.
The ceremony, performed by Rev.
Gideon Hammond, Of Emerald Grove,
Wis, assisted by Rev. j. H. Cameron,
of the Bristol and Paris Congregational
church, was beautiful and impressive.
The bride was dressed in white crepe
combined with lace and white MORE
ribbon, and carried white roses. The
maid of honor in combination of pink
crepe, white lace and MORE ribbon, and
carried pink roses. The groom in the
conventional suit of black.
After congratulations were offered
the guests repaired into an adjoining
room to admire the presents which
were numerous and costly, among them
a very beautiful piano, q gift Of the
brides parents, upon which the we'd
ding march had been played. In due
time all were ushered into the dining
room where q dainty and elegant re-
past was served.
Amid shower of rice and good
wishes Mr.. and Mrs. Blackman took
the carriage for Kenosha to take the
north bound train for Milwaukee. At
ter spending few days there they will
visit relatives at Oshkosh, Wausau and
other places.
Among the guests from abroad were
Mr.. and Mrs James p. Briggs, May and
Robert Briggs, of Wausau; Mr.. and
Mrs. James Moe, Morris Moe, Nettie
Everett, Henry Marsh, all of llilwau-
kee; Hiram Sweet, of Chicago; Rev.
Gideon Hammond and wife, of Emer-
aid Grove, Wis; Hattie Fancher, OF
Western Union; Nellie Ferris, Of Wau-
wautosa; Richard Vaughn, of Browns
University, Providence, r. l.; Lora
Blackman, of Chippewa Falls, Wis.
While weddings leave vacant chairs
at the old firesides, the loss is partially
recompensed in this case by the fact
that Mr.. and Mrs. Blackman will soon
return to us to occupy their newly
built cottage home, and may they thus
surrounded by the friends of theil
youth, continue to be leaders in oul
society.

COL. FRANKS FUNERAL.
All That Was Mortal Laid 80 It's Final
Resting Place


Resting Place.
Kenosha has seldom seen so large
and impressive a funeral as was that
of the late Col. NJ Frann. Seldom, in
fact, is it given to man to be held in
such high esteem. Col. Frank was
loved by all; lie was loved to be hon
ored; he was honored to the benefit OF
his people and time. These facts i'm
PEELED all classes of citizens in Kenosha
to make common cause Of expressing
m1tely the last tribute Of deep respect
one citizen may show another. The
funeral services took place Sunday af
ternoon at 2 o'clock. There was a
short preliminary service at the house,
the regular service being held at the
church at 2:30 o'clock.
The Congregational church was
tastefully festooned about the altar
with evergreen and roses. Wreaths OF
evergreen were hung from the wall gas
jets and about the organ. The service
opened here before a throng Of mourn
my pCOp1C NulCu llllO1 tt1lIOOC 6tll UIC
available room. The mayor, city Off
Gals and common council attended in a
body and were seated in front at the
right The choir opened the service by
singing Crock of Ages" This was
followed by prayer by Rev. c. Fl. Rog
ers. Then after Nearer, My God, to
Thee" by the choir, Mr.. Rogers stated
that, inasmuch as Col. Frank was a
man Of very broad views and could not
be owned by any one sect or creed, a
memorial service would be held in the
near future in his honor, in which all
classes of people might be represented
in doing him honor. He merely de-
sired to offer a little tribute to one who
had lived among us for tifty-six years,
to be loved by all.
At the close of his remarks the choir
sang Lead Kindly Light" All were
then given an opportunity to view the
remains, while the honorary pail bear
ers, Messrs. Y. G.. Simmons, Gurdin
Gillett, George S. Baldwin, E. W.
Blinn, d. B. Benedict and G. A. Dewey
acted as a guard of honor. The active
pail bearers were j. A. Killeen, George
D. Head, Johnson A. Jackson, w. S.
Lamb, T. Fl. Lyman and F. III. Hall.
Interment took place at the city
cemetery.

HELPED the New Year In

Harry Stringham, the keeper Of the
billiard hall over Barden & McArdles
store, celebrated the arrival of the New
I ear in way that has brought him
some sorry results. When he heard the
bell at the Congregational church ring
and the people on the streets shouting.
he stepped to his window and pushing
il up. looked around to see if anyone
was in sight. Seeing no one he pulled
Ills revolver and fired at the pavement
three times. He thought that enough and
closed down his window As soon as it
got'daylight twas found that there were
two holes and big break in the win
dows of r. @. Gottfredson's iewelry
store, Just across the street. The big
break was in the plate glass in the big
south window; the two holes were in
bic glass in the south half of the door
and the glass in the transom over the
door. The bullets fired from String
hams revolver had glanced up when
they struck the pavement and thus had
done the damage. Chief Stemm saw
Mr.. Stringham in the morning and the
matter was patched up to the satisfac-
ton Of the parties. Mr.. Stringham
could not have been accused of any
malicious intent and therefore will not
be prosecuted. The damage to the
windows is $92. Enough of the big
plate can be saved for the other breaks
to necessitate only the purchase of one
big plate.

the audience tried each time to make
him respond to the third encore; also

II Thomas b. Reed is Il nominee for
president Of the United States he will
be the first officer Of the navy ever
named for that high office, although he
was merely Il volunteer acting assistant
paymaster. The army has furnished a
large number Of presidents, and several
unsuccessful candidates for that office,
ike Scott, Fremont, Mcclellan and
Hancock but no sailor has ever before
been named in connection with the
honor. There are several other sail
ors iii the house of representatives, in
Guiding Mr. Boutele, but there are
none III the senate. This is easily ex-
planned, however, by the fact that the
army was so much greater numerically
during the war, and because no civilian
who secured Il commission III the navy
ever got above the rank of lieutenant
commander, which corresponds to thai
Of major in the military service.
