AT THEIR HOME AT MANN POSTOFFICE.

On the 18th day Of October,

ship. had reached the littleth
milestone in their matrimonial
journey through life, aud it was
made the occasion for the home
coming of children ard the as
sem bling of neighhors and
friends. Of course, the serving
of sumptuous dinner was by no
means the least of the many at.
tractlve features OF The occasion.
Seated around the great family
board were thlrty-slx guests,
with father and mother Mann as
host and hostess who presided
with the dignity and grace of
those whose hospitality had been
bestowed upon their friends for
tueSe many years.
Mrs. Mann's maiden name was
Mary E. Little. She was one of
the pioneer settlers of Buck Val.
ley, having emlgrated with her
mother, a sister and two brothers,
from Philadelphia, sixty two
years ago.
What is now one of the most
beautiful valleys in the county,
with It's beautiful fertile farms,
fine farm buildings, and best OF
allan intelligent and progress
i've citizenship, was, at the date of
Mrs. Mann's entry, an almost un-
broken foresj.
October Is, 1855, she was unit.
ed in marriage with John Mann,
son of Peter Mann, one of Bethel
townships most prominent farm
ers, the ceremony having been
performed by the late Rev. b. A.
Cooper. Six children were born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Mann, four of
whom are living, namely, William,
residingatLouisville KY; Albert,
at Midway, Pa; Mertle and Res
ley, at McKeesport, Pa, and Pc
ter and Elmer at home.
Their son William, of Louisville,
was not present, having been de.
tanned on account of the illness of
his wife. One of the things that
is especially noteworthy, is the
fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Mann
have no grandchildren.
Mrs. Mann has had poor health
ior long time, but the day was
greatly enjoyed by her. The re.
union of her family and friends
was a source of great satisfaction
to her. The many souvenirs Of
gold presented to Mrs. Mann, at
tested the tender ties that bind
her to her many friends.
Those present besides the chil-
dren named, were Joseph Run.

and daughter; DR.. D. E. Fisher

DUNBAR, -Neb.. Nov. 2S.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: II would seem that tho
easiest and quickest way by which rep
aration can be achieved or redeemed is
by emphatically damping the last legis-
laturc. l read with interest the address
of President breckenridge TO the Nebraska
Bar association, sind. while in the main
his remarks will meet the approval OF all
of us, 1 confess that the plain language
unsparlngly used, under the caption OF
freaks of the last legislature" criticizing
the legislative tinkering of that august
body appears hardly warranted or justified
by the facts OF the case
There was no act passed by it limit
ing the practice OF law to duly admitted
members OF the bar" Such a law has
been on the statute. books for years, and
the first section WAS simply amended by
bill introduced hy properly qualified
attorney at the instance of the legal fra
ternity of Nebraska and for its beneft.
Regarding the charter of metropolitan
cities, I am inclined to believe that the
members of both houses credited the lead
ing lights of the Omaha bar and their
henchmen, the real estate dealers Of the
metropolis, with the possession of suai-
Gent legal knowledge and unAdulterated
patriotism TO carefully safeguard the in
terests Of the Eternal City" in their
championship OF It's ever-new charter.
President Breckenridge simply suggests
criticism by mere mention of the fact
that counties may now pay the premiums
on the surety bonds substituted for the
Individual heretofore given by their treas
urers. He certainly knows that in the
case OF other county officials a similar
provision has for some years been part
of law. The experience of many terms
OF legislative work has made the gentle

Nebraska is very likely to become

United States District Attorney Baxter
Wednesday morning. THE land investiga-

offending is but modicum of the offense
and will be handled with vigor by the Land

There are other offenses of more serious

with the cattlemen. One indictment was
