A New Lumber Yard

II. II. Bruce, who but recently
was manager of the p. ID. Smith
Lumber Co. of this city is putting
in lumber yard on the fraction
of the block south of the creek
between Fourth and Fifth Aven-
ues. Work in grading the block
down commenced the first of the
week. Ed. Molloy has moved his
barn from the block to the north
side of the creek and S. M. Doris
will have his buildings out OF
the way within few days.
The new firm which is to be
known as HI. II. Bruce & Co. are
already receiving their stock and
placing it as rapidly as the
ground can be put in shape.
We are reliably informed that
the Company is composed OF
local capitalists, but are silent
partners in the business.
Whether the new deal means
cheaper building material is Z
matter yet to be seen. At any
rate the new firm is to be con
graduated on it's location and we
predict for it a fair share of the
business of the city and country

LILY-kAUPP:-On Christmas
Day, Frank Lily and Rose Kaupp
were united in marriage at the
home of the brides parents at
Klurnp, Nebr., at high noon by
Rev. w. f. Mathews. The wea-
Their was unproitious, but early
in the morning the friends began
to gather and by the time APP
pointed the rooms were filled
with relatives and friends, who
had come with good wishes and
kindly Interest to start the young
couple on their new career.
Promptly at high. noon and the
strains of the wedding march,
played by Mrs. Brown of Lincoln,
a sister of the bride, the process
sion consisting Of Miss Nettie
Kaupp, Master Lloyd Cox, Miss
Ruby Klump, Mr.. Hardy Kaupp
and the bride and bridegroom
moved out. The bride was dress
ed in brown trimmed with white
silk and wore white carnations
in her hair. Amid deep silence
the words were spoken which
made the couple man and wife.
After the congratulations came
the wedding dinner. There was
not only an abundance OF good
things to eat but bewildering
variety spread out upon the
tables. Though the tables were
filled four times there was great
quantity of things left over, cry
ing out for the friends who had
been invited but had not been
able to come. The cut flowers
on the table and the presents
given by the numerous friends
helped to make the occasion even
more enjoyable. The young
couple are we'll known and highly
respected. The bride has lived
nearly all her life in the com
munity where she was married
and the groom has lived there fol
several years past. Good wishes
for them are heard on every hant
and they have won the respect o.
all. They will make their home

Tempest Tossed" one of the plays
to be produced by Walter Sanford s
players, is a drama full of characte
which will recall to our minds some
of the lovable types in Dickens "Da-

of Nelly" in Tempest Tossed" is
similar in many respects to that of
Little Emily" and the scenes being
placed among simple fisher folk, fur
niShes another reason for it's resem-
blance to the Yarmouth folk of David
Copperfield.
