A large number OF friends OF Otto

and comfortable home on Monday
evening this week to surprise and
cheer him upon his arrival at the
fifty-ffth milestone in his iourney.
OF life. Mr.. EdWardth was detained
down town little longer than usual
and when he arrived home little
after six o'clock, he was much sur
Hprised to find the house taken pos
session Of by a multitude OF old
friends, both ladies and gentlemen.
Mrs. Edwardth, who had been let.
into the secret, served a most d.linty
and bountiful supper OF which all
.partook to their hearts content.
Refreshments were also served at a
later hour, and the entire evening
spent very pleasantly with cards and
in social converse. In memory of the
occasion Mr.. EdWardth's was pre-
sented with a handsome silver toilet
set and a fine gold watch chain and
charm, Senator Grindeland making
the presentation speech. Mr., Ed
Wardth, in his characteristic way,
thanked his friends for the presents,
and for their kind expressions Of
friendship and good will, which he
valued more than anything else.
Mr.. Edwardth is one OF the pioneer
settlers of Warren, having come here
from Sweden in 1882. A few years
later, he married Miss Othelia An
derson, who has made him a good
and affectionate wife. Now they
have an interesting family OF three
boys and four girls, a fine home and
a large valuable farm just outside
the city limits, and it is the wish OF
their friends that they may enjoy
these blessings and comforts Of life
till the hundredth milestone has
been passed.
