A June Weddino.

A little fter-commencement event
that had about it something of the spice
of the unexpected, was the marriage of
Mr.. George w. Swartz to Miss Mamie E.
Williams, which was celebrated Monday
afternoon at two o'clock at the home of
the brides parents. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mcintosh in the
presence of only small circle of the
relatives and near friends; and at its con-
clusion q wedding lunch was served.
The rooms were daintily trimmed for the
occasion, and just such an atmosphere
prevailed as suits wedding day in June.
Both the young people were graduates
of last weeks commencement at the
Normal-Mr. Swartz as member of the
senior, and Miss Williams as a member
of the elementary class. Mr.. Swartz had
a commencement part, and as usual
acquitted himself with striking grace.
Altogether, his career at the Normal has
been one of the brightest that has adorn-
ed its % years of history. He was one
of the pioneer debaters that scored a
victory over Platteville in May '97, and
one of the founders, and for two years
editor-in-chief, of the Normal Badger,
which has reflected undoubted credit on
the school. He has been president of
the Literary Society and active in nearly
every line Of student life-a man of
mental balance, good tastes and, every
where and always, a gentleman. His
bride, Miss Williams, has always been
known to our readers as young lady of
accomplishments and charming DISPOSE
ton, who has identified herself with the
best activities that the town affords. To
both the young people we extend our
cordial greetings May their new friends,
wherever found, think as much of them
as we, and the star of their best hopes
never falter.

An exceptional treat in the way of
Shakespearean drama is likely to
claim the attention Of our townspeo-
pie within the course of a few days,
when the Waldorf Company, of which
Mr. Noryal McGregor is a leading
member, will present the sparkling
comedy" AS You Like 1t" in the open
air. Seven of the chief member of
the Waldorf com paLy are now in the
city, having just concluded singular
ly successful engagement at Omaha,
and are urged by one of the local soci-
cites to give an outdoor performance
of Shakespeare beautiful play, which
has created such marked enthusiasm
wherever they have performed it in
the large cities on the coast. To be a.
bic to see, under any circumstances,
so masterful a comedy as AS You
Like IT. by so good company as the
Waldorf, is to experience rare delight
but to see it-as Shakespear him self
originally saw it in the rOotess theatre
VI GilC SAODCs anu dc Abtt IACIllI OICC
performed it at Stratford in the open
air, is to see thing that's simply ir
resistible. No play by virtue Of its
scenery and bOisterous outdoor beau
ty could better lend itself to open air
production than this particular COM
edy and not one of the whole constell- |
alton of Shakespeare plays is more de-
liciously captivating. OF the ability |
Of the Waldorf Company to present it |
in powerful and becoming manner |
there can be no doubt. The big dali |
lies on the coast speak of the company |
Individually and collectively as one Of
the highest merit. Its members are
not only artists of high aims and at
tainments but ladies and gentlemen
of real culture whose association with
Mr.. McGregor will win for them the
cordial approval and patronage of our
citizens. If GAS You Like 1t" is CIV
we trust it will belt will Sc
cure most generous support.
The play will be given the third
week in July.

We were surprised Monday on re-
ceiving pleasant call from our old
friend, Mr.. II d. Bell of River Falls,
Wis. Mr.. Bell is an old travelling
man who sold boots and shoes for
Bradley & Metcalf for % years. In
1864 he began selling goods in the
Cedar Valley and for - years made
this territory regularly He said he
saw many familiar places on the road
from Charles City, as in the early
days before the railroad lie Travelled by
stage Those were days when land in
this vicinity was cheap. He was at
one time importuned to buy 100 Of
timber and 60 Of prairie land at $500
per acre. Today these pieces are
among the best in Mitchell county
and he neglected the golden opportun-
ity. We spent one winter in New
Orleans with him and found him
most pleasant companion and guide
as his later years have been devoted to
travel and recreation. He is now four
score years old and we trust he may
be permitted TO enjoy many years Of
happiness. Nashua Iowa Post.

The Normal School closed its
Twenty-third year Thursday: the nom
resident students have gone to their
homes, and the teachers will occupy
themselves during the vacation in
recreation and recuperation from the
exacting duties Of their profession
during a year of difficulties. The
burning Of the Normal building in
the first term Of the year imposed
extra burdens upon the faculty, the
students and the community in
preserving the efficiency if not the
very existence of the school But,
although contending with many diff
culties, the school has closed a success
ful year and nothing has occurred to
depreclate its reputation and
efficiency The next year will open
with a new building adequate for its
purposes. convenient and pleasant,
and the school viii flourish, its success
hampered by no impediments.
