Another beautiful home wedding
took place in our village Tuesday, Oct.
4th, at high noon, when Miss Cora
Ostermier, youngest daughter of Mrs.
Elizabeth Ostermier, became the bride
of Robert A. Kane. The Rev. r. G.
BENEFITS offciated in his always
pleasing manner. The bride presented
a beautiful appearance, gowned in
white silk null trimmed with plated
chiffon and lace, and carried white
asters. Miss Anna and Mr.. Frank
Ostermier, sister and brother of the
bride, were the attendants. Miss
Anna wore gown of white mohair ac-
cordeon plated, trimmed with white
silk fringe. A reception followed the
wedding ceremony, and there were
many in attendance, after which all
were seated at a most elaborate and
sumptuous wedding dinner in the
spacious diningroom. which had been
rendered beautiful with ferns, flowers
and evergreen. The happy young
couple were the recipients of great
many costly and beautiful presents.
The bride is one of Potosi's best young
ladies, and is gracious and charming
young woman. The groom, a most ex-
cellent young man, is from Darling
ton. where he has fitted up coy
home to welcome his charming young
bride, in which they will be at
home to their friends after October
21st. Following the wedding dinner
the happy couple took the afternoon
train on the Burlington bound for ST..
Louis. They have the best wishes of
a host of friends for long life Of
welded happiness.
There was unusual activity on our
streets last Saturday morning, oc-
casioned by the appearance of Rural
Route mail carriers and the Dubuque
High School football team. AS one
careful observer remarked, there was
too much excitement for one morn
ing. The Dubuque boys were enroute
to Lancaster, and we're accompanied
by goodly number of their school
mates who we're determined to cheer
them on to victory in the game to be
played with Lancaster High School
that afternoon. Between the pigskin
kickers and Uncle Sans mail carriers
it was hard to tell which was cock
of the walk. The ball players were
eagerly waiting for teams to be
brought out to convey them to their
destination where they would wage a
fierce contest for honors supreme.
While the mail carriers we're scori ng
for positions in their initial race

DIES IN HIS PRIME.
Sad Intelligence Received of Death
of Oscar Harshberger.

At three o'clock monday afternoon
Mr.. and Mrs. John Harshberger Of this
city were the sorrowful recipients of a
dispatch informing them of the death
OF their son Oscar. The dispatch was
sent from st. Paul, asking for instruc-
lions as to the disposal of the remains.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harshberger Immediately
left for Cassville to catch the night
train on the Burlington for st. Paul,
where they arrived yesterday morning.
No particulars were contained in the
telegram as to the death of this popu-
lar young man formerly residing here.
During the past summer he was en-
ployed at summer resort on one of
the lakes near the twin cities and had
just moved back to ST. Paul with his
employer. About month ago he was
ill with a stomach trouble, and his
condition became of such serious
nature that his parents we're sent for
and they went to his bedside to care
for him. After his convalescence they
returned home. No information has
been received since the dispatch, but
is surmised that a relapse from the
former trouble caused death.
Oscar Harshberger was twenty
years old. He was employed in the
electric light plant for number of
years since leaving school, and was one
Of the head workmen when the plant
was installed Of a generous, genial
disposition, he made friends every
where and retained them. Among the
young men of Lancaster who were his
associates, deep, sincere grief is every
where manifested; and the loss of this
wholesouled comrade is deeply felt by
them all. The parents will probably
arrive in Lancaster with the body
Wednesday noon. An obituary sketch
will be given later

Jury Cases Not to be Tried.

Attorneys throughout the county
have secured from Judge Clement
son an order BY which the trial of
all jury cases is laid over until the
regular February term, and Clerk
of Court Hastings has been in
structed to notify the jurymen
drawn for service on the October

set to consider court cases.
The legal lights are involved in
the campaign too deeply to attend
to other matters.

Catholic Church to Have Pipe Organ.

The contract has been awarded
to the Barckhoff Church Organ Co.,
of Pomeroy, Ohio, for $1,000 pipe
organ to be installed in ST. Clements
Catholic church Of this city. The
trustees of the church have been de-
iberating on this move for some
time past, and the deal was closed
last week which assures it's reality.
With this addition the already Ella
boratefy decorated church will be
one of the finest of its kind in south
ern Wisconsin.
The organ is to to finished in fine
white oak, and will consist Of the
following mechanism: great organ,
consisting of 244 pipes, swell organ
of PA pipes, pedal organ OF 81 pipe S,
making total Of SIS pipes. In ad-
dition to this there are five me
chanical registers and three com
bination pedals.
The power for filling the great all
compressor which gets up the vib.
ration in the pipes may be fur.
nished by electricity, water motor
or hand power. A representative
from an organ house gives the fol
lowing as objections which are
sometimes found with each method
The electric current is very likely
to be suddenly shut off in the day
time, the water pipes leak or freeze
up, and the boy is sure to go tx
sleep during the service. In this
case, however, the power will prob
ably be furnished by water
motor, as the trustees have full
faith in the ability of Lancaster
plumbers to eliminate any danger
of annoyance from that source.
