Huebsch BLANK N~uptiaIs.

Last week we neglected TO mention
the marriage Of Miss Clara J. Blanks

at the German Lutheran church in this
city, Rev. Pasche officiating. 1t was
purely an oversight on our part and we
hope our readers will pardon MS. The
wedding occurred Thursday, December
81, 1906, and was one of the prettiest
ever in Webster. Miss Josephine Blank
a sister of the bride was bridesmaid and
and the groom was attended by his
brother as best man. The ceremonies
were simple and impressive and the
church was handsomely decorated for
the occasion. After the ceremon was
performed the wedding party drove to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. August
Blank, north of this city, parents of the
bride, where a reception was given in
honor of the young couple which was
attended by a large number of invited
guests. At the close Of the reception a
moot elaborate wedding upper was
served in courses which was very much
enjoyed by all. II the young couple
have half the happiness wished for
them that night there will never be a
cloud to hide the sunshine in their
married life.
Miss Clara Blank has grown to
womanhood here in Webster, and 10
comedy, accomplished, Of pleasing man
ners and q happy disposition and will
make an ideal wife.

TElEGRAPHER ON
SOUTHERN TO STRIKE

Richmond, Va Sept 21.-Ac-
cording to a report current in local
telegrapher's circles. the order has
. gone forth for general strike Of
every telegrapher on the Southern
system Monday morning. the strike
to be effective unless the Southern
restores two telegraphers DISCHARGED
on Monday near Atlanta for refusing
to handle Western Union messages
Tor offices where the Western Union
operators are on strike.
l.. 5. Bentley. general chairman of
the Order OF Railway Telegrapher.
Chesapeake and Ohio division. said
this afternoon that the matter con-
cerned the men OF the Southern rail
way only. and that he was. there
Tore not in position to discuss the
matter. He stated. however that
he had heard the rumor that the
telegraphers of the Southern would
strike on Monday.
According to the report the West
ern Union and Southern officials last
week in Washington agreed TO make
a test case for railway telegrapbers
In this conference, it is said. the
Southern agreed TO fire the first Oh
orator who refused TO handle a mes
sage from a man who had taken tho
place of a striking telegrapher. Two
operators near Atlanta refused TO
handle messages from a strikebreak-
err Immediately after the men had
been fired a committee from the To-
legraphers waited upon the South
ern officials and demanded the rein
statement OF these men. This de-
mand was refused and the Southern
Is said to have done everything nos
sible to force the issue.
N THE LOCAL SITUATION.
{. ). Hervey, president of the To-
cal union of Commercial TeIegra-
piers, who is in charge Of the strike
here. will leave for New York to-
morrow. He goes to confer with
members of the national body OF the
union.
There is no change in the local
situation" said he today. I'VE are
still as confident of victory as we
were in the first OF the strike. The
telegraphers are obeying the ininnc-
ton to stick knowing that the tele
graph companies are badly harassed
and that the situation IS growing
more desperate for them every day
The Western Union, by its last fnan-
cial showing, has surplus OF only
$66.7O0. This tremendous decrease
in surplus is highly significant indi-
eating the financial plight brought
about by the strike The corpora-
tion appears to be putting up
mighty bluff. A dividend OF one and
one Fourth per cent has been declar-
ed despite the fact that the earnings
for this quarter are less than five
per cent Of the normal"
President Hervey says that a mer-
ger of the Commercial Telegrapbers
Union of America and the Order OF
Railway Photographers is now con
templated and will probably be af-
tected within a brief time The
question of consolidation had been
favorable acted upon by majority
OF the local unions The object OF
the merger will be TO bring the or
ganized telegraphers Of the country
under one head in a formidable un-
ion.
