On Tuesday evening a very pretty home
wedding occurred at 513 South First street,
when, surrounded with blooming flowers
and under a floral horseshoe, Miss Maud
Teft of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, Eng
land, was united in marriage with Mr.. I.
w. Thistlethwaite of this city by Rev. DR..
Phelps in the presence of about twenty of
their most intimate friends, Miss Allie
Thistlethwaite acting as bridesmaid and Mr..
Bert Fryer as groomsman. The happy event
was the elimination of an engagement en-
tered into when the bride was on a visit
to a sister in Omaha over two years ago.
Mr.. Thistlethwaite Is a member of the Ty-
biographical union and is employed by an
Omaha printing house. He is also well and
favorably known as a member of the First
Presbyterian church and Young Mems Chris
tian association and has the respect and
esteem of all who know him, and his many
friends are all glad to welcome the brave and
lovely girl who showed her faith in her
future husband by coming thousands of
miles to join him. The happy couple will
be at home to their friends in the cosy lit
tie home the groom has prepared at 5l3

In the matter OF arresting the insurance
agents who refused to pay the occupation
tax the city yesterday threw up the sponge
and, through its attorney, stated that 1t
had been running a blum. The agents did
not take kindly to the ordinance levying
an occupation tax upon each company rep
resented in the city, and after the ordinance
passed sought legal advice. A week ago
the mayor had the chief of police notify
each agent to come UP and settle. but the
agents did not respond; they only laid
back and laughed and dared the city Of
ficials to place them in Jail for refusing to
pay the tax. Yesterday City Attorney
Montgomery explained to the mayor that
the only way the city could compel the pay
ment of the tax was by bringing suit against
the agents. Just what the council will do
now is a question.

motion in the 81, 100000 action brought by
the state against Armour & Co. and the
Armour Packing company for violations of
the oleomargarine and butterine law was
before Justice Peter B. McLeannan at the

General Benjamin F. Tracy and Frank II.

motion was opposed by Senator Joseph Null

they are anxious to get at. General Tracy,
who made the principal argument for the
motion, took the position that the plaintiffs
had no right to examine third parties

Word was received in the city yesterday
that Mrs. Catherine Driscoll died a few
days ago at her home in Nicola, la. The
attorneys who represent her in her claim
against the city have requested the court
to appoint an administrator. Mrs. Driscoll
secured judgment against the city some
time ago for $500 for injuries received on
account of a defective sidewalk. The city
confessed judgment and the claim was about
to be paid when, through her attorneys, she
filed a notice alleging fraud, and thus
stopped the payment for a time. Mrs.
Driscoll was about IS years old at the time
of her death.
