CLAIMS HIS
B0NNY BRIDE
POPULAR YOUNG oMAHAN MAR
RlED TO JUST AS POPULAR
AMlE GIRL THIS MORNING.
Mr.. w. c. Weigel of Omaha and Miss
eeulah Roger Made One at Home
of Bride at Eleven O'clock and
Leave Few Hours Later for Omaha
to Reside-Pretty Romance.

Mr.. w. c. Weigel of Omaha. CHIEF
clerk in the Office of w. r. McKeen, jr.
superintendent of motive power and
machinery for the Union Pacific, and
Miss Beulah Roger, daughter of Mrs
Roger, were married here today, al
the home of the brides mother, Sixth
and University avenue, in the presence
of members of the family and a few
invited guests, Dean Bode of the cathe,
dral performing the service. Miss Re.
ger was unattended. Following a
luncheon at the Roger home, Mr.. and
Mrs. Weigel left for Omaha, where
they will reside.
A Touch of Romance.
The marriage of this popular young
couple at this time is a great surprise
to their friends. They had intended
marrying later in the winter, but Mr..
Weigels promotion and changed con
dition made him more anxious TO claim
his bride, and when he came this time
they arranged that she should return
with him. 1t was a fitting finale to a
courtship begun months ago. Both
have received hearty congratulations.
Mr.. Weigel came here first about the
time of the beginning of the work of
%reopening the rolling mills. He was
then travelling accountant for the rail-
road company. His visits we're bust
ness ones for a time, but he soon en-
listed the help of the little god of love
and later his business" visits had a
very different effect upon the com
pany's payroll.
Social Favorite Here.
Miss Roger is one Of the most low
able girls the city claims. She is ev-
erybody's friend, a social ~favorite,
sweet and gentle, and Mr.. Weigel has
wont a prize. That they may live long
and happily is the wish of every friend
they have.
Showered With Rice.
Among the guests were Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. B. Jacobus and Mrs. Leslie Ken
nedy. Members of the family were
present and sat down to the bridal
luncheon with the happy couple. At
the depot hosts of other friends testi-
fed their friendship with the usual
shower Of rice and the decorative eff
forts at the trunks of the blushing
bride in the baggage room. The bag
gagemen will have no difficulty in
realizing that a bridal party is aboard

Washington, December 1.-The Ameri- can National Red Cross In annual session today, elected the following officers for the ensuing year. President. William IT. Taft Secretary of War; treasurer, Charles H. Keep. assistant secretary of the treas ury; counselor, J. B. McReynolds, as sistant attorney general; secretary, Charles L. Magee; executive committee. Robert Bacon, assistant secretary Of state; Brig Gen. R. M. O'Reilley, medi- cal director; J. o. Wise, United States navy; James B. McReynolds, James Tan ner James R. Garfield and Miss Mabel T. Boardman. The afternoon session was presided over by Secretary Taft.
 At the morning session the questions discussed included methods of increasing the membership by personal solicitation, cooperation of the press, and boys and girls first aid drills. It was decided to accept all applicants for membership who pay their dues promptly. Considerable discussion followed over the question: Shall state branches and subdivisions be called State Red Cross?" the opinion be- gates that so many auxiliary Red Cross societies confuse the mind of the pub lie and place the American National Red Cross in a bad light before foreign coun- tries.
 The delegates were received by the President today.

YOUNG MEN WILL

Ressemer Will Have an Organization to lndorse Honset Men for Office
 and to Condemn Dishonesty.

 You are requested to meet Thursday night, December 6, at Rebie hall for the purpose of perfecting an organization to be known as the Young Voters club.
 All young men under 90 years of age are eligible for membership who are voters, or wish to become voters by pay ing back taxes, or those who will attain their majority by September. 1907.
 There are nearly 200 young men in and around this city and they can make themselves a powerful factor in state. county and municipal affairs if they will only organize and agree to become quali- fled voters.
 Nearly 100 have already made applica- ton for membership, and l earnestly request that all who put their name on the list Monday and Tuesday be pres ent promptly at 9:9O D. m. Thursday night. Short talks will be made by several prominent men, who are not candidates for any city office on the importance of the young men of the city and county be- coming qualified electors.
 The policy of this club will be to en- dorse clean, honest men for onice and to condemn raseality and corruption wher- ever we find it.
 No member will be pledged to support any candidate for any office, and is, therefore, free to vote as he wishes, but an effort will be made to always have the majority on the side of right and justice Respectfully.

PRESIDENT BARRETT
 VISITS FELL CITY
Attributes Large Measure of High Priced Cotton to Work of
 Farmers Union.

Pell City, December 4.-(Special )-Na- tional President c. s. Barrett of the Farmers union was in this city today, the guest of State Secretary E. J. Cook, on his way to Little Rock to attend the meeting of the national executive committee which meets at that place in few days to attend to some ir '~"4H mt business.
 President Barrett is very enthusiastic in the work and expresses himself as well pleased with the work in Alabama.
 In an interview with him he said, among other things, that it was really amusing to hear the small speeulator say cot ton just happened to go up,' and that the union had nothing to do with it. They say this years crop is the bumper crop.
 Suppose it is the bumper crop" con- tnued MT. Barrett doesn't it look like the market would take a tumble? In- stead, it advances every day, which is very encouraging to the farmers, con- sidering such an enormonS crop as the spectators say. Now, if such large crop was made, and the prices advance every day or two, doesn't it go to show that farmers are holding their cotton and will continue to hold until the minimum price is reached?'
 President Barrett urges the farmers to hold for their minimum prices and 10 pm the good work of building ware
