CONGRATULATIONS from DcnYcr.

The people of Omaha are to be con-
graduated upon the fact that they have
complied with the conditions requisite to
make available the appropriation of 5000, 900
by congress for their exposition. Having
complied with these conditions. the congress
sional appropriation will be turned over to
their account If there shall be anything
like strong revival of business next spring,
Omaha may be expected to make its exposi-
tion a success. If business is active, the
people of the transmississippi region will
vie with one another to make exhibits. and
thus the exposition will become the means
OF advertising the natural resources and
commercial and industrial advantages of
the states lying west of the Mississippi

the people of Nebraska are taxed about

the labor commissioner should be an
intelligent, level-headed workingman
drawn from the ranks of active shop
workers. A labor commissioner who
has always been in touch with the
toilers, man who commands the
respect of men employed in the mill

was death. II was deliberate murder,
brutal assassipatIon, and the punish
ment prescrlbcd for II by the court
martial was foSr years Imprisonment
and dismissal om the army. most
inadequate peffalty, the execution Of
which is uncertain.
The consideration of this matter In
the Relchstag during the past week
brought out clearly the spirit that ami
mates the military establishment Of
the empire which is one of little respect
for the people. The remarks made by
the minister of war distinctly implied
that military officers regard themselves
as a privileged class and that they en-
pect those in civil life to respect them
as such. Perhaps this is natural. If
not essential, in a country like Ger
many whose ruler prides himself on his
military attainments, but it is serious
question for the German people whether
they shall give this spirit such tolera-
ton as will permit II to become more
truculent and supcrcilious. The main
tenance of their military establishment
is an imperative necessity and so long
as this continues to be the case the
army officers will constitute a caste
regarding itself as immeasurably su-
perior to every other element of s0ci-
ETY., but there are ways in which the
people may bring the military TO realize
that they are not powerless to compel
respect of their rights. The minister
of war said in the Reichstag that the
military code expressly forbade mill
tary men from arrogating to themselves
superiority over other classes, but 1t Is
evident that this is not regarded. He
alleged that civilians insult the army
and this is probably true, but is this
not provoked by the conduct of army
officers toward civilians? 1t would
seem so from the general tenor of press
comment.
Germany presents an exceptional
condition in this respect and 1t Is
hardly possible that such II state of af-
fairs can be perpetuated. 1t is not in
accord with the spirit of the age and
the intelligence and independent nature
of the German people will revolt against
it. The domination of a military caste
is not compatible with nineteenth cen
tury civilization.

Chicago News: A Chicago minister said
yesterday that he hoped the riches OF the
moneyed men would eat like a cancer.
People who have had the smallest experience
with money will find this to be an impossi-

course of money is invariably in the opposite
direction.

his eyes on temporal things and his mind
on heavenly matters at the same time. The
result is a set of badly kept cash books and

fair to be a decidedly interesting disease in

IN SOCIETY

Miss Mamie Margaret Denker, daugh-
ter of Mrs. L. A. Denker, was married
yesterday to Mr.. Louis Lichtenberger
at high noon at st. Vincent's church,
Rev. Father Antill officiating. The altar
was handsomely decorated with palms
and papyrus, and the soft light Of the
tapers the bridal party presented a
very lovely picture. The bride wore
handsome gown of white brocaded satin.
the skirt was perfectly plain and en-
traine on the bodice; bertha Of pearl
passementerie fell over a full front of
embroidered mousseline de sioe; revers
of the dress extended to the shoulders,
where loops and ends of the satin made
an effective finish to the tight sleeves.
The veil fell from off the face to the hem
OF the train and was arranged to set off
the beauty of the bride, who possesses
wealth of Titan hair and large dark
eyes. In her hand she carried white
carnations and ferns. Miss Antoinette
Denker, sister of the bride, was the maid
OF honor and looked very charming in
gown Of white organdie over pink silk
with crush collar and belt of pink sat
in ribbon; the bouffant sleeves were fin
ished at the elbow in the same way. La
France roses formed the bouquet. She
preceded the bride to the altar, and she
was met by the best man, Mr.. George
Lichtenberger, the groom, awaited the
bride. Miss Florence Junette Mesmer
in dainty white gown acted as flower
girl. The wedding march from Lohen-
grin, played by Gardner's orchestra,
announced the bride. Oh, Promise Me
was rendered during the service and
Mendelssohn's wedding march was
played as the party left the church.
Following the ceremony was an elab-
crate wedding breakfast served at the
home of the BRIDES mother on West
Twenty fourth street. Covers were laid
tering. The decorations were almost
entirely in green, net work of smilax
extending through the adjoining rooms,
with tall stalks of papyrus and potted
plants in hooks and corners, making a
most effective whole. On the table were
were the recipients Of many elegant
presents of silver, gold and cut glass;
The groom's gift was a diamond mar
quise ring. Mr.. and Mrs. Lichtenberger
left yesterday for San Francisco to be
gone two weeks, and on their return to
the city will be at home at 124 East
Fourth street after October 1st. The
brides going away gown was of tan
broadcloth trimmed in corresponding
shade of figured silk; a chenille hat
finished in tan ribbons completed the
costume. A large number of friends as
sembled at the church to witness the
ceremony, but only relatives were pres
ent at the house, as follows: Mr.. and
Mrs. e. o. Mclaughlin, Mrs. Hammill,
