corner of Douglas and Fifth avenues, Just

DIDN'T WANT IT PUBLISHED
Sixty-Six Year Old Groom Was Too
Particular About HIS Marriage

Mr.. Joseph Knofflauch of Goddard ID
probably the most bashful groom who
ever crossed the threshold Of matrimony.
He is 66years old, too. but the weary
length Of years and previous experiences
at the altar do not seem to have hardened
him to the ordeal of the marriage cere-
mony. Mr.. Knofflauch was married yes
terday to Mrs. Christina Shrader, aged 40
years, In the parlors of the probate court
Office. in the presence of Judge McCanless.
Judge Kirk was called up from the city
court to perform the ceremony. which was
his first experience in that line since he
was elected. So anxious was he for the
job that he suspended the business OF the
court for a few minutes while he acted as
high magistrate of Cupid's court.
Mr.. Knofflauch was very much exer-
cised for fear the newspapers would pub
lish the particulars OF the marriage. He
did not want anyone to know It. and he
cautioned Judge McCanless to keep mum.
A reporter for The Eagle happened TO be
present while the groom was delivering
his ultimstum to the judge. and that's how
It happened to get into the papers.

WANT SMOKE STACK REMOVED
Injunction Brought Against Owners
OF steam Laundry

OF steam Laundry.
Edgar Harding, owner Of the Sedgwick
block, through his attorney, A. Z. Helm,
flied a petition in the district court yester-
day asking for an Injunction TO compel
Selover & Sons, owners of the Peerless
steam laundry, TO take down or dIscon-
tlnue the use OF the smokestack OF the
laundry. The laundry is situated in the
Turner opera house building. just across
the street from the Sedgwick block. and
when the wind blows from the south the
dense. black smoke escapes from the
smokestack and lodges in the eyes and
ears of the occupants OF the sedgwick
block greatly to their annoyance and dis
comfort. The smoke also ruins the DELI
cate complexion Of the stenogra pliers
while the cinders lodge in their hair. II
one man cracks a Joke the listener dares
not laugh for fear a cinder will lodge IN
his throat TIE petition states that the
dense smoke emitted from the smoke
stack polutes the air in the reighborhood
OF the Sedgwick block greatly endanger-
ing the health Of the citizens thereahout.
The smoke stack is only sixty feet high.
50 that the smoke in a south wind blows
directly against the building and is said
to be running both the surface and the
interior OF the same. and the tenants have
been so burdened with the smoke nuisance
that they have threatened 10 vacate the
Offices IL Il is not abated. Judge Dale will
hear the cause OF the petitioner tomorrow.
and Il is likely that quite an interesting
case viii be made Of this suit A few
weeks ago the nelghborhood in the vi
cinity OF the Turner opera house raised a
kick against the use OF the escape pipe
OF gasoline engine used by the box fac
tory. for the reason that II popped so
loudly and frequently that IL almost
caused nervous prost-ation Of many Of
the women within hearing distance. TIE
escape Pipe was removed and the noise
