A WEDDING ON THE jim
Louise Everson narried to William
Beard of Cambria.

Louise Eyerson, the oldest daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Everson Of Cam
bria township. was married to VIII
liam Beard of the same place on Fri
day, March 18th. at I p. m. in Aber-
deem. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Doctor Swickard of the
NJ. +. Church of Aberdeen. On the
evening of the 14th. the happy couple
were given a reception at the hospit-
able home Of the brides parents. A
large number of the most intimate
friends of the bride and groom were
present who partook OF the lavish
good cheer of Mrs. Everson's bounti-
full table. Many the useful and
elegant presents bestowed upon the
newly welded young folks as tokens
Of the very high esteem in which they
are held.
On the bank of the Jim river in
Cambria township, Louise Everson
IA born October 9th. 1880, and there
she has always lived. Her husband
occupies the VIM. Young farm one
mile up the river where she takes
charge of the new household. Mr..
Beard is a member of the firm of
Beard & Nelson who are engaged in
stock raising and general farming.
He is we'll connected in England and
has been in this country several years.
1t was supposed by the writer that
the bride was the first white girl born
in Brown County but upon inquiry
the fact seems to be that early in the
spring Of 1880 a daughter was born to
| Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. York on what is
now the Pfeifer place. Kittie York
the first girl born in the county left
the county when IN infant.
Mrs. Beard has always been most
popular among her wide circle OF
friends and they all unite in most
sincere wishes that she aud her huS-
band may meet with their full share
Of the good things Of the days tocome.

The question as to the city OF
Waterfowl accepting from Andrew
Carnegie a donation for Il library
building of ten or fifteen thousand
dollars is up for the consideration OF
the city council az that place. The
matter was referred to Il committee
after same discus ion at the last meet
ing The discussion was spirited, aud
an extract from iaubtic Opiniun's ac-
count or it follows.
In the course OF the discussion
Judge Nicholson. city attorney,
stated that in the event the offer was
accepted he would be in favor OF a
ten thousand dollar building which, in
his estimation, would be fine enough
for WATERFOWL. Aberdeen has q tlf-
teen thousand dollar building but the
Judge said Aberdeen is larger than
Watertowf. G. G.. Whistler was on
his feet in q minute and expressed
his nsurprise that a mar OF the stand

olson would for a minute concede
that Aberdeen is larger than Water
town Mr.. WhiStlcr's remarks were
cheered by his aid tors as was Alder
man Lester a few minutes later when
he stated that il the city is to have
a Carnegie library at all ne would
favor atifteenthausan nd dollar building
instead Of Il ten Thousand dollar one.
He SAID bnut while lie does not favor
the &C :eptance vi Il donation from
Mr.. Carnegie he wished to say that
he would prefer fifteen thousand
dollars to a smaller sum for building
purposes.

ROW he SIGNED CONTRACT.
Story of Philadelphia Publishers
VISIT to Col. ~Roosevebt's Camp
at Montauk.

The inspiration which caused A. R.
Keller, of a Philadelphia publishing
firm to induce Mr.. Roosevelt to sign
the contract for the reproduction of
his writings in two luxurious editions
was akin to prescience. Toward the
close of the Spanish-American war
Mr.. Keller became convinced that the
hero of San Juan hill would be the
central figure in American politics.
He started for Cuba, but missed Col.
Roosevelt, who was then on his way
to Montauk Point. He wents4o Mon
tauk and vas rebuffed. but continued
to argue his case. Finally Mr.. Roose-
welt said: Hold on, i must Think
He jumped upon his horse and rode
away at tor. speed. For more than
half an hour he galleped around, and
then came back TO the tent. Before
Mr.. Keller could say a word the colonel

longer galloped.over the hills. return
ing with his animal snorting and paw
ing. He threw himself from the sad
die with the words: TAI right, Ill
do it,"
Ihere was no PAPER or pen in the
tent. Col Roosevelt produced a linen
cuff and the publisher q fountain pen.
Then it occurred to them that there
might be n blank sheet in soma Of the
letters lying unopened on his camp
bed. a small piece was found and
upon this q contract wasdrawn up.

Blaniford bears witness to the fact
that from his personal knowledge Mr..
Hum used the same device in Vermont
twenty-three years ago Only last
Sunday the Union on authority OF
Mayor Hunt said: Later it was
charged by an inventor that there
had been an infringement on his pat
ent hoops. AS a matter of fact he had
no grounds for such complaint, but
he made it anyhow" Mayor Hunt in
conversation on the same day stated
that ALLEN had no patent Yet Mr..
Blandford quotes Judge HanfOrd as
declaring in answer to the plea that
such a pipe as we had built was not
Datentable," that he had held that it
was and that his decision had been
confirmed by the circuit court of ap-
peals and by the supreme court of the
United States
1t is plain that it was due to the
stubbornness of the mayor that the
Allen patent was infringed upon. Be-
cause he had used the same device in
Vermont when he was a boy he was
dead sure that Allen was trying to
bluff the city. But Judge Hanford took
a contrary view. as he had done before
in a suit brought by Allen against the
city of Tacoma, the result of which
should have been known to the city
authorities of Walla Walla.
1t is an injustice to lay the blame
for the infringement of the Allen pat
ent upon Contractor WOrley. who did
not make a cent upon the East Alder
street f1ume, but came out several
hundred dollars in the hole, guaran-
tee company having to pay the Hunt
company over five hundred dollars for
the little iron bands and little iron
rods" that could have been made by
any blacksmith in the city at a few
cents apiece But poor Morley has
gone. perhaps never to return, and that
is why ne has been chosen as the
scapegoat for the Hunt administra

BEATS ALL POLITICS.
Harness Making Contest Between
Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Lydick,
Nebraska Women

Omaha. July "A peculiar contest
which stands a chance from present
indications Of bankrupting one or the
other of two Nebraska towns is now
Oh hotter than any political contest.
The point to be gained is the discovery
that Mrs. j. G. Graham. Of PapilliOn,
owns the only woman harness maker
in the United States"
The affair started by an item pub
lished in an Omaha paper announcing
that Mrs. J. G. Graham, of PapillliOn.
was a harness maker Of reputation
and that she could make a complete
set of harness from the hide to the
finished product without the assist
ance Of any one. The next week the
same paper contained an item from
Lon Lydick, Of Harrington. Neb. in
which that man said he was willing
to wager 100 acres of Cedar county
land against $1,000 that Mrs Graham
is not a harness maker and that Mary
d. LydicE. of Harrington. is the only
woman harness maker in the United
States. My condition is that a har-
ness maker is one who cuts, fits and
finishes any part of harness without
assistance"
Edward l.. Clark. a patriotic son of
PapilliOn, came forward at once with
the $1,000, and then raised the bet
$1,000. Lydick showed another 100
acres of Cedar county land 10 the
center, and said be would go another
100 acres which he owned in Holt
county.
Clark dropped into the Papillion
postoffice and consulted with a few
friends with the result that several
more PapilliOn citizens took chips and
began dropping them into the pot To
meet the raise Lydick responded in a
similar manner. In each town a cam
paign was started that gave the in
hahitants the first touch of high life
since Billy Bryan ran for president
At present there is estimated to be
n the center of the pot over 200 head
If livestock. 1000 acres of farm lands
and something like $4,000, and the
letting still open. A contest between
he two women has been arranged to

for elections Each member of the
community will be entitled to drop one
ballot in the box with the name of the
voter and his or her choice for judges
written upon it.
Clark, of Papillion, says of the con-
test: Mrs. Graham, | am certain,
will win the contest hands down. She
can make a complete harness quicker
and better than any one | ever saw.
She has made a great many sets OF
harness for me and for workmanship
they can not be excelled."

BRENTS AND BETZ.

The Union is forever charging that
the Statesman opposed Thomas
Brents and Jacob Betz. In fact the
Statesman under its present manage
ment never opposed either. The
present editor of the Statesman
as publisher of the Weekly Argus re-
fused to publish the charges against
Judge Brents for any price, because
he believed that it was suicidal party
policy and because he was person.
ally friendly to Mr. Brents, although
not one of his political supporters
Jacob BetZ knows that no one has
ever said more complimentary things
of his administration than the pres
ent editor Of the Statesman. Under
the present editorial management the
Statesman has repeatedly said that
during the eight years that Mr.. Betz
was mayor Of this city there was
never suspicion of a graft on his
part, and if he had consented to the
use of his name this year he would
have had the support of this paper
| in behalf Of an honest and economi-
| cal administration of municipal af-
fairs. Mr.. Betz owes nothing to the
Ankeay machine which threw him
down when he ran for state senator
in 1900 and proposes to keep him
down if possible

REELECTION OF DIAZ

Much Concern About Who Will Be

imous nomina %. by tAa LIBERAL union
convention 0. president DiaZ as a can
didate tC si.,c-e>. himself ana his re-
election to i Presidency, Wnicn is
fOregOne result Ct the General election
which takes. place this month. while
it could not be otherwise than sat
isfactory to the people of Mexico
generally is still a cause for some
anxiety in the minds of those who
have the welfare OF the republic sim
cerely at heart and who look forward
to the time when the maker of mod
ern Mexico is no more. The decis-
ion of President Diaz to stand for re-
election was somewhat of a surprise
even to his most intimate political
associates. His advanced age-he
was born in 1S30-makes it impera-
tive for the nation to look about for
an able successor to take up the reins
OF government when death causes the
hand that has SO long and SO sue
cessfully guided the car of state to
release its grasp.
1t is publicly known that the inan-
cierS Of Europe desire the retirement
of President Diaz solely because they
wish the matter of the succession to
be arranged during his lifetime. This
has been one of the conditions the
ROthchilds have made when appealed
to for a great loan to place Mexico
on a gold standard. They fear that
the president will die suddenly with
the result that the country will be
plunged into confusion AMI thai a
oil will
that civil troubles will ensue and in
which case the bondholders would be
the principal sufferers.
Diaz has hitherto been known to ad-
nit that he fully realized the force of
this argument in favor Of his retire
ment and was willing to sacrInce him
self to the situation. Consequently
his decision to accept another term
of office is all the more surprising
The three other candidates mentioned
for the honor We're Linantour, Menas
and Marischal, but now that Diaz has
accepted the denomination they have
quit the race in favor of the incum-
bent.
1t is well understood that those who
have large financial interests in
Mexico, would like to see J. Ives Ii
mantOur secure the presidency. as he
is considered by far the most able fl
nancier and diplomat the republic
has yet produced. He was acting
president Of Mexico during the visit
Of President Diaz to the United
States in 1901, and has always been
considered the choice of Diaz for his
successor, although he is run close in
that respect and in the favor Of the
Mexican aristOcrats by Gen. Bernardo
Reyes, who as secretary of war and
head Of the army, has strong claims
to the place Gen. Reyes has a more
engaging personality than Senior Ii
mantour. but he has lost some of his
popularity by showing too plainly his
aspirations for presidential hOnOrs.
N the event of the death of DiaZ while
in office the presidency would devOlve
temporarily at least on Senior Maris-
chal, the present secretary of state,
and who would serve until a general
election could be held.

mourning libel suits that might prove
as costly as his election to the Unit

game has been thoroughly exposed by
the Statesman, and Mr. Ankeny can
not escape full responsibility for the
utterances of both papers issued from
his newspaper office.
The Burford- Smails machine that is
backing Mayor Hunt and Frank KEGS
never made bigger political mistake
than when it assumed responsibility
for the diarrhetic slush published in
the daily Argus. 1t is making votes
for the opposition every day. In its
first issue it exposed the fact that the
candidacy Of Hillman for chief OF po-
lice is in the interest of KEGS, and that

THAT WORLEY BID.

The Statesman has proof of the
strongest kind that Charles P. Allen
at a meeting of the water committee
in the registrars office warned the
committee not to infringe upon his
patent. This was several weeks be-
fore the contract was let. There is
also much interesting inside infOrma-
ton at hand about the manner in
which the specifications were secretly
changed in order to give the contract
to WOrley over the rival bidders,
Carts and SchOll. that would make in
teresting reading Worley was not
the lowest bidder to start with, but
the specifications were changed so as
to allow the use Of iron bands instead
Of steel and to allow the use of mar
rover slaves so that WOrley was en-
abled to reduce his bid from over
$4,000 to $500, the other bidders not
being given an opportunity to bid on
the changed specifications. 1t is also
stated that Worley's bid was taken
away and doctored after the bids had
been submitted. Neither of the other
bids would have infringed upon the
Allen patent Worley had the Allen
device manufactured by the Hunt
