red last Sunday. Rev. OSman preach
ed and held communion services in
the morning. Presiding Elder Housed
preached at night. The quarterly
conference was held Monday forenoon.
Rev. Osman appears well pleased with
the way matters are starting out.
One of the most impressive scenes
ever witnessed in a Phillips county
court occurred in the sentence of
Joseph Hinton last Saturday. The
prisoner, however, showed no more
emotion than if he were listening to
speech instead of the awful sentence
which depriveS him virtually of life.
VERNE Curl, who is making his
home with Harry Mann, met with a
very painful accident Saturday. He
was riding in a wagon and in some
manner fell out, catching his arm
between the wheel and brake, tearing
the flesh badly. He will be compelled
to carry his arm in sling for some
time.
Landlord SanderSon is painting up
the entire woodwork of the Bissell
House. He has ordered a 70O-candle
power gasoline lamp which he will
place in front Of the hotel to light up
the surroundings. Mr. Sanderson is
not satisfied until he has everything
possible done for the comfort of his
guests.
A Union Y. P. S. c. E. was organ
lied last Sunday evening at the Bap-
fist church with the following officers:
G. NJ. Arnold, pres, Mrs. S. S. Hage-
man, vice pres, Lulu Hahnenkratt,
cor. sec, John Garberson rec. Sec,
Bertha Wells treas. A cordial invita-
tion is extended to ali the young
people of the city to attend these
meetings.
County Attorney W. G. Bissell who
conducted the Hinton murder trial is
young man only "a years of age, and
this was his second term of court as
county attorney. He has necessarily
had only a limited experience in GRIM
inal law, though he has been uniform
ly successful in his practice. But he
is the only county attorney in the 18th
judicial district that has secured a
verdict of murder in the first degree,
and the manner in which he handled
this case, bringing it to a successful
issue, gives him an enviable reputa-
tiOn all over this portion of the state.
Married, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed a. Mann on Wednesday even
ing, April, oath, Mr.. Charles E. Mann,
Of this city, and Miss Ethel Lowell,
of Phillipsburg, Kans. The nuptials
were solemnized cy Rev. E. H. Sayre,
in the presence of a small party, al
most entirely composed of relatives.
The bride, accompanied by her aunt,
Mrs. BOughton, arrived on that after
noon. Mr.. Mann has not been here
long, but has acquired a considerable
acquaintance in his work with the
Courier, and is no doubt the recipient
of general good will. The lady is not
yet known, of course, but there is
every indication that she is charm
ing girl, who will be distinct addition
to our social circle.-Gering (Neb. J

The Odd Fellows Celebration.
The celebration at Kirwin last Fri
day was a decided success, notwith-
standing the bad day. We reproduce
the following account of it from the
KirwIn Globe of Saturday.
THE SD anniversary of Odd Eel
lowship in, America was celebrated
here yesterday. Although the day
was very windy and dusty, the attend
ance was good. Over 100 members
took part, Phillipsburg being well
represented. Many ladies and gentle
men not members attended. At Il m.
a double line was formed in front of
the hall, headed by the Phillipsburg
COrnet Band, with the Kirwin COrnet
Band in the rear. The procession
marched around the square, then to
the northwest corner where a number
of Daughters of Rebekah fell in line
and marched to the opera house where
a fine dinner was served. At 2:30 all
met at the opera house to hear the
opCdhILSs liz OIClISSUId 1GuUG16Q
some very fine selections, when Hon.
John BisseIl, in few we'll chosen re-
marks, made the address of welcome,
which was very appropriate. Hon. c.
FL. Turner made short address full
of words well suited to the occasion.
Major Warner, master of ceremonies,
then introduced Rev. j. P. Allen of
Topeka, orator of the day. His adj
dress was in part quite unique, but
interesting and instructive, and a
definition of Odd Fellowship. The
audience was very attentive. G. NJ.
Cole of Phillipsburg and Rev. Muxlow
of Kirwin, each made few remarks
that were to the point and were ap-
preciated by the audience.
F'The Rebekahs had a business meet
ing in the evening
sat night the Odd Fellows initiated
two candidates and opened for work
in all the degrees,
