From cdncsdry's Dali .
IA predicted in yesterdays paper, the
vote ca It Mt the election was very light,
scarcely a two.thirds vote being polled
as compared with the election Of n year
ngo. The voters were apathetic, but
not more 40 than the party workers.
Indeed there appeared to be but little
politics in the election for, while The
democratic ticket was successful In most
instances, the vote on the candidates
for the two leading offices was widely
divergent. Koenigstein. the democrat
candidate for mayor, won by n majority
of 2ll while Mcfarland, republican can.
didate for city clerk, almost completely
reversed this showing and won by n
majority Of 200 over his opponent.
This is sufficient indication that the
fight was not made along party lines and
as nc party principles were at stake the
voters apparently scratched indiscrimi.
nately, making n choice in accordance
with the popularity of the candidate or
for other reasons best known to them
selves. There was not even n saloon
issue as last spring to put spice in the
contest.
The democratic candidates were sue.
cessful in all instances except on city
clerk and two members of the city
council from the Third ward.
The disagreeable weather of the morn.
ing had the effect of keeping voters from
the polls to such an extent that it ap-
peared as though n half vote would not
be cast, but in the afternoon 1t was more
favorable and a larger number of voters
turned out and cast their ballots.
Upon learning the result of the cleo.
tion the band, accompanied by n large
number Of citizens, proceeded to the
home of Mayor.elect K%oenigstein and
serenaded him with some appropriate
music. Mr.. Koenigstein responded and
was greeted with cheers. He made q
short address thanking his friends fol-
their support and the band for its music
and those assembled as well as the
entire neighborhood were placed in
happy frame Of mind by the incident.

of n carried by Mabel Odiorne was

ticiated at the ceremony and in a few
impressive sentences the two were made
one, the ritual service of the Presby-
terrain church being used. a The bride
was becomingly attired in a dainty
gown of white silk null, the gift of her
sister, Mrs. T. E. Odiorne, and carried a
beautiful bouquet of BRIDES roses.
The ceremony was followed with the
sincere congratulations of guests who
were then invited to the dining room,
where a wedding supper of dainty
viands was served by girl friends of the
bride. The dining room and table were
tastefully decorated in green and white.
On leaving the room each guest was

keeping in a home provided and fur
nished by the groom.
The bride and groom are so we'll
known here that q personal sketch is
hardly necessary. Both have spent the
larger parts of their lives in Norfolk and
taken a lively interest in the social af-
fairs of the town. Mr.. Pilger was for
years an efficient employee in the Nor.
folk National bank where he served un.
til offered the position of deputy by
County Treasurer r. G. Miles, in which
capacity he is at present serving with
credit to the Office and satisfaction to
the people. The bride is one of Nor.
folks most charming daughters and has
by her gentle ways attached to her a
large circle of friends, who are almost
e~nvious of Mr.. Pilger's good fortune in
securing her as his heipmeet through
life. The Norfolk friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pilger will unite with THE NEWS
in wishing them a high degree of sue.
cess and pleasure through life.

mother knows there is no release, the

But when they are with her every mo.

preparing for the stage. They give up
social life, pleasure and amusement
and spend enthusiastic years in study.
An interest like that In the training
Of a child brings sure results OF good.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox In speaking OF
the education Of children says we
might call reason, judgment, intelli-

while love and sympathy represent the
atmosphere within these walls. Then
there should be a roof of patience and

may be taught through their plays the

from father, OF older playmate, will
educate a child in the habits and APP
pearance Of every animal existing, and
the child will never know he is being
