groom making the trip to Denver 30
as to avoid the elaborate ceremony
which a wedding at that place would
have meant. Miss Louise Seeberger,
daughter of E. f. Seeberger, one of
the most prominent bankers and real
estate men in North Platte, and
Francis Leo Tobin, of the firm of
Harrington & Tobin, operating the
largest mercantile store between
Omaha and Denver, are the princi-
pals and their marriage is the cul-
mination of friendship formed in
childhood back in North Platte. Mr..
Tobin was born there and Miss See
berger, who was born in Lamar,
Colo, went there as a small child.
They became acquainted and were
fast friends. A few years ago both
came to Denver to attend school.
Miss Seeberger going to Loretto
Heights and Mr.. Tobin to the Col
lege of the Sacred Heart. Both com
pleted their studies not SO very long
ago and resumed their old acquaint-
ance, which resulted today in their
marriage.
The ceremony was performed at
Logan Avenue chapel at high noon
by Father III. l.. McMenamin and
was followed by a wedding break
fast at the home of the groom's
mother, Mrs. NJ. Z, Harrington, of
934 East Seventeenth avenue. Mr..
and Mrs. Tobin will leave tonight for
Colorado Springs and other points
in the state, after which they will go
to their future home in North Platte,
Neb.
MIR. Tobin is manager of the Har-
rington -Tobin Mercantile company's
store at North Platte as we'll as being
junior partner, and although but 22
years of age has a marked talent for
business. Mr.. Seeberger, father of
the bride, is at the Brown hotel, hav-
ing accompanied his daughter to
Denver. Miss Ida Ottenstein at
tended Miss Seeberger as brides,
maid and Quinby Tobin, brother OF
the groom, was best man.--Denver
Post.
Miss Seeberger will be remember
ed by all old time Lamarites as the
bright little daughter of one of the
former editors of the Register, and
she is now beautiful and accom-
plished young woman. The family
has a host of friends here who will
join with the Register in extending
heartiest congratulations and best
wishes tor the future.

chased by the United States Govern
ment Its future management is of
peculiar interest to the owners OF
trans. continental railway stocks.
The probable rate reduction policy
cannot fail to have marked influ-
ence upon overland rates from Cali
fornia.
The result of the company's oPer-
ations for the year 1904 was e,-
tremely favorable. After the pay
ment of operating expenses and Tx
ed charges there remained net earn
ings of S71O,S95, or more than 10
per cent of the capital took. The
prosperity of the railroad is assured
by the construction of the Canal.
During the ten or more years before
the canal is opened, the road is as
sured of large increase in its local
and through business and even after
the waterway is completed, it is GER
tain that the local traffic on the 18th
mus will produce much larger earn
ings than those which have hitherto
received.
An important transaction mention
ed in the report is the termination of
the exclusive contract with the Pa
citic Mail Steamship Company, which
has lasted since June l 1, 1902. The
termination of this agreement is ex-
pected to introduce further confu-
sion into overland freight rates.
The report contains the statement OF
the Committee on Interstate Com
merce of the House of representa-
tives. The conclusion OF this report
is that the Panama Railroad is val
liable property which should be re-
tanned and operated by the United
States Government The committee
holds however, that the rates now
charged are much higher than would
be necessary to insure fair return
on the capital of the road, and recon
mends a considerable reduction.
The committee also recommends an
improvement IN the steamer connec-
tions of the railroad.
The experiment of public opera
tions of the Panama railroad will be
watched with great interest. This
is the first attempt of our federal
government to embark upon an en-
terprise of this character, and the re-
suits of the experiment will throw
much light on the possibility OF
government operation of railroads
under the American political system

[From the Amity Optimist.l
According to agreement, the Santa
Fe unloaded five carloads of cinders
at Amity the first Of the week to be
used in street improvement. Men
with teams have been busy placing
the cinders and as a result a fine
sidewalk now extends from the de
pot to the postoffice, and strangers
entering Amity in the dark hours of
night can find their way up town
without getting into mud shoe top
deep az has been the condition in
the past.
Owing to the extreme high water
in the river Tuesday caused by
recent heavy rains, much anxiety
was felt among our people for while.
The river overfowed just north of
the railroad bridge but not enough
to cause material damage, and did
not reach town. Considerable drift
came down stream and the railrosd
bridge at the east approach was
moved about four inches out of line,
in the center it has settled some six
inches. Traffic was in no way re-
tsrded but trains approached very
cautiously.

The La Junta Tribune printed a

In the district court this week
Judge Northcutt signed decree
awarding the Fort Lyon Canal com
pany 172 second feet of water in ad
dition to the priorities for 76l cubic
feet of date August 81, 1893. This
gives the canal priorities for 933
cubic feet. In addition to the above
the canal has something like 200
feet on account of the loss it sustsins
when carrying its second priorities
for 933 cubic feet. The petition of
the canal company asking that it be
awarded this additional priority was
fled about two years ago. The Cat
lin ditch through its attorney, j. NJ.
Waldron, fought the matter bitterly,
and while the court upheld the con
tentions Of the Catlin company, as a
whole it sustained the position taken
by II. L. Lubers, attorney for the
Fort Lyon Canal company.-Bent

THE rain has not made it unpleasant
