A very pretty wedding occurred at
the home of the brides parents Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Drury at o'clock p.

Ava Drury was united in marriage
to Mr.. Luvern Snelbaker Of Chicago.
Only few friends outside of the

ceremony which was performed by
Rev. \. r. Grant.
The bride is we'll known in Audu-
bon as very attractive young lady,
and the groom though stranger
appears to be worthy OF the prize he
has won.
After the ceremony the guests were
invited to the dining room where a
splendid wedding feast was served.
That peace and happiness may ever
attend this couple on their journey
through life is. the wish and pray er
of their many friends.

nesday Afternoon.

A few days ago q large number of
invitations were sent out by the teach
ers of the Audubon public schools to
the mothers asking them to attend q
reception at the schoolhouse yester-
day afternoon. About fifty responded
in person aud the occasion was both
pleasing and instructive. The pro-
gram was opened by an instrumental
duet by the Misses Brown and Doak,
and solo was sung by Mrs. Russell,
Mrs. Watts then made an interesting
report of the Mothers Congress in
Des Moines. Miss Mary Davis made

a MIDNIGHT RIDE.

The Carroll teachers had an expert
ence last week that they will not for
get for long while. They came down
on the evening train over the North
Western on their way to Atlantic to
attend the association, having been
assured that the Rock Island would
wait until their train was due at )
o clock. Iiut their train was an hour
late add as consequence they were
LETT in Audubon. 70 wait for the
train on Friday would deprive them
of much of the best Of the program.
So after much talk pro and con, they
decided 10 hire Law "CarryaIl" and
drive down that night. About eight
O'Clock they were loaded-two gentle
men and sixteen ladieS-and on their
way with Will Mushrush as driver of
thu four-horse team. They reached
Atlantic about two in the morning
without any mishap nor unpleasant
ness from the cool weather.

Proceedings in Garnishmenl.

According to developments since
election there was quite little money
made and lost on the result. And
one case from Extra has appeared in
the court Of Justice Mantz in which
the Stockholders have been garnisheed
to secure payment on judgment
secured two years ago against Mr..
Grant Smith, who it is thought has
been on the winning side in some of
his prediction representations
which he backed up with some good
money. Some nice points of law will
arise in connection with the case. If
a man bets money, to whom does it
belong while in the hands of the stake
holder before the result is known?
Whose money is it after the result is
known before it is paid to the winner?
If man wins q bet, was the money
his just as soon as the polls were
closed or not until the official count
was made and certified to by the
County Board? The question as to
law and equity is respectfully re-
ferred to the corner grocery for
settlement until the Justice decides the
matter.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE,

The ministerial conference of the
Atlantic District held in Audubon
last week brought in most Of the
preachers on the district and few
lay members. OF the number, Ship
man of Guthrie Center and Dudley of
Harlan had been former pastors of
the church in Audubon. There was
general agreement among the breth.
rem that they had an unusually good
meeting and a strong program. DR..
Henderson of New York was present
as a representative of a commission
on evangelism and made three ad-
dresses that we're instructive and
helpful. lie is man of wonderful
power and tact in presenting and en-
forcing the truth. There was one
thing quite noticeable among the
preachers, namely, their physical
proportions. Judging from their
size, their lines have evidently fallen
in pleasant places, and green pastures.
The conference adjourned and they
left for their homes on Thursday
evening.
