Married.

At the Baptist church, Tues
day evening June 4, 1907, at $50
o'clock, Mr.. Elton F. Palmer and
Miss Lizzie M. Edmunds were
united IN marriage, Rev. ]. D..
Brady, officiating, Miss Sarah
Edmunds attending the bride
and Mr.. c. h. Luce performed a
like service for the groom.
The wedding was quietly per-
formed, owing to the recent
bereavement in the family of the
groom, only relatives being pre-
sent.
Immediately after the cere-
mony those present repaired to
the home of the groom's parents,
a mile north of the city and par
took of an elegant wedding re-
past.
These popular young people
are so we'll and favorably known
that they need no introduction.
With an unusually large number
of friends the REPUBLICAN joins
in extending best wishes for a
happy, healthy and prosperous
life.

We Knew He Was Lying.

the REPUBLICAN office, paid ar
rearage and requested that it be
discontinued to his address, say
ing: 81 am already taking more
papers than I can read" His
name is-we'll say-John Henry
Blank. Last week one of his
neighbors came in and said
Say, l wish you'd get John H.
Blank to subscribe for the RE-
PUBLICAN again cause if you
don't I'll have to have two copies
sent to me each week for no SOON
er does the rural carrier leave the
paper than Blank sends over to
borrow it-even before any of my
family get chance to read it."
John, you'd better come back to
the fold and not poster your
neighbor when only dollar will
prevent your doing so.

M. B. A. Rally.

The Modern Brotherhood of
America membership rally for
the Broken Bow lodge, which
was in progress but two weeks,
ended last Friday night when
ninety-seven new members were
accepted and initiated, SO being
for the Broken Bow lodge, 6 for
Mason City, 2 for Ansley, 2 for
Galloway and l for Sumner.
Large delegations were present
from neighboring towns in the
county where an M. B. A. lodge
is located, to witness the confer
ring of the degrees, which was
quite task as great deal Of
the floor space needed by the de-
gree team was used by spectators.
S. S. Hayman, state manager,
who organized the forces for the
rally is certainly a pusher for the
order and through his general
ship has raised Equality lodge,
M. B. A., of Broken Bow, to the
largest number of members in
the state, the addition of SO last
Friday nigh! giving it 3o2:
After the initiation of candi-
dates and remarks by Mr.. Hay
man, the special drilled team
elected the plaudits of all by its
intricate and beautiful maneuvers
A light lunch of ice cream and
cake was served and all present
felt that they had spent the
evening most proftably and
pleasantly.
The order was originated in
1897, only ten years ago, yet has
membership of S9,439, having
gained 10,419 members during
last year. The total amount of
claims paid in Nebraska during
the ten years of its existence is
$156, 1888, and the total amount
paid in all states is over two and
a quarter million dollars. AL
though young organization it
is indeed mighty.

Desecrated the Day in Broken Bow.

Memorial day was originally
intended to be just what its name
implies-a day for the observance
of respect for the honored dead
who served their country. OF
late years it has become some.
what subverted and many have
used it as a day for the enjoy
ment of sports of various kinds
inasmuch as it is legalized
National holiday. Efforts of the
old soldiers and their friends
which have been directed towards
checking this tendency, have,
during the past two years, met
with considerable success and
several states have passed laws
prohibiting people from indulg-
ing in sports on that day. A
general sentiment is developing
against the dissertation of the
day and one thing that has
helped to stimulate this .senti-
ment in Broken Bow was a dance
at the Temple theatre last Thurs
day night-Memorial day. 1nas-
much as this dance on that night
has shown itself to have been
offensive to a number of citizens
and an insult to those comrades
both living and dead-in whose
honor the day is consecrated, II
is hoped that those in charge OF
the Temple, the Opera house,
and other halls in the city,
will not permit their use for
dances on future Decoration days.

Entertainment Course.

entertainment NOurSe.
During the Junior Normal
school which will be held in Bro
ken Bow, June 18th to August
3rd, a course of fine entertain
ments has been arranged and
they will undoubtedly be largely
attended by citizens. Supt.
Pinckney informs us they will be
as follows:
u. S. Senator E. J. Burkett,
Wednesday evening, June 10Th.
Senator Burkett will also give
an address during the day if
train service will permit.
Chicago Glee club, Thursday
morning and afternoon, June 20.
Train service and date in Iowa
will not permit them to give an
evening concert so they have
consented to give the two con-
certs.
O. J. Kern, Friday and Satur-
day, June 28th and 10Th. Mr..
Kern will give one illustrated
evening lecture, and one or more
day addresses. ilMr. Kern is one
of the most wide-awake, pro-
gressive school men in existence.
He is well.kuown as the author
of one of the books in the Read
ing Circle course for Teachers,
entitled among the Country
Schools.
University of Nebraska Glee
club, Thursday evening, July 4.
Miss Charlotte Templeton,
Friday and Saturday, July II and
|13. Miss Templeton is Field
Secretary of the State Library
association. The teachers who
met her at Institute last year will
be delighted at the pospect of
having another opportunity of
meeting and listening to this
cultured lady, whose ideas and
utterances are always uplifting,
helpful and practical.
Edmund Vance Cooke, Wednes-
day evening, July II. Will also
give an afternoon or morning
reading if train service will
permit. Mr.. Cooke is recognized
as one of the foremost of present
day readers and impersonators.
Additional interest will be given
by the fact that he recites only
his own writings, which easily
places him in TIE front rank of
genuine humorists.
Senator E. L. King, of Polk
county, Wednesday evening, July
"a. Will also give morning
talk.
We hope that Governor Shell
don will be able to visit this
school, but are unable to an
nounce a date for him.
AS before stated, all students
enrolled at the Junior Normal
will be entitled to a season ticket
to all the entertainments. Sea-
son tickets will be sold to others
at $1.5 so; children under ID, $1.O0.
Single admission tickets, SOC;
lchildren 35c. No admission will
be charged for the lectures of
the Governor, the Senators or
other representatives of the
people, but those who hold sea-
son tickets will be entitled to
Preserved seats.

Dry Valley DoMings.


Since our recent rains the winter wheat
is looking fine.
George Steele has made application for
a patent for his glass cutter.
Do not forget the next meeting of the
Farmers club at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Squires, the third Saturday of
this month.
At the present the outlook for a good
crop is very flattering in our vicinity.
Alfalfa is looking fine and in about ten
days will need cutting.
We are having ideal weather for the
termination of alfalfa seed sown before
the recent rains and if this year doesn't
get good stand we shall stop guessing.
Percy Glover had FIVE hogs stolen out
of his feeding yard some time ago. 1t is
getting about time this gang of thieves
are run down and landed in prison as did
gang in Iowa some years ago who were
run down and given long terms to serve
in the penitentiary. There is lookout
for this gang already.
Bert Brass marketed one car load of
hogs last week and had one car load of
com shipped him to Comstock. 1t seems
we must import corn in order to fatten all
of the stock grown and fed here. How
ever, large acreage as we'll as yield of
corn was produced in the Valley and still
we haven't enough of the cereal, without
having it shipped here, Why not put out
more corn? Those who have land that
can be broken up should By all means
have it broken and put into corn and
thereby grow more and make good
money from the same.

Decoration Day.

Il HuISudy, VeIcIdHS VI inc civil
war and their defendants and
friends assembled to pay tribute
to the heroes of that great strug-
gle, who have marched for the
last time. Wearers of the little
bronze button assembled around
the graves of former comrades
and dropped "tear and flower"
on the spot where heroic soldier
lies. 1t is a beautiful custom,
made doubly so by its universal
observance.
The patriotism of a nation is
guaged by the respect it pays to
those who have fallen in battle
for the preservation of its govern
ment. More enthusiastic or patrio-
tic men ever marched to battle
than Observation-Disclosures in the
struggle of the early sixties.
Their proud record stands out as
a most striking example for the
youth of today and every child,
should be taught to regard
Decoration day with patriotic
reverence. It's observance
should be on as high plane as
the most sacred religious rite.
Every assistance should be given
the surviving members, of the
Grand Army of the Republic in
their annual tribute to the dead.
In Broken Bow this was pretty
generally done, and it was to the
credit of our citizens, who, in
general, observed the day as it
was originally intended and as
sisted to make it a memorable
one, all places of business being
closed between the hours of II
and S o'clock. The day was
cloudy, damp and cold, and the
rain, which had been threatening
from day-break, commenced
falling at about S p M, after the
services of the day had been COM
pleted, however. Had the day
been bright and warm an usually
large number would have come
from the country to attend the
sacred services.
AT 1890 a M, a procession
was formed on the south side of
the square and marched to the
cemetery in the following order:
Broken Bow Band
Co. M, LIST Reg, Nebraska
National Guards
Washburn Post, G. A. h.
Spsnish-America war veterans
Woman's Relief Corps
Citizens in carriages
At the cemetery the services
were very pathetic, beautiful and
impressive, especially those by
the Woman's Relief Corps.
At 2 o'clock p. M, the time
announced for the beginning of
Memorial service in the Temple
theatre, that edifice was crowded
and a large number were unable
to gain entrance, which indicat-
ed more than words the reverence
IN which the G. A. h. and Me-
mortal day is held by residents of
the city and vicinity.
The exercises were announced
by Judge Reese, as follows:
Prayer by Rev. Baumgardner.
"Lincoln's Speech at Gettys-
burg" was recited by Charles
Mullen.
A vocal solo by Miss Ada Bow
en-, when Sherman Marched
Down to the Sea-" was rendered
with much feeling and in a
charming manner.
Rev. ]. D. Brady recited
"Picket's Charge at Gettysburg"
and Violet Larson Clusters
Last Charge"
Then followed the address of
the occasion, delivered by Major
Miller, of Omaha, which was
able and highly appreciated.
America" was sung by the
audience, led by Mrs. C. L.
Gutterson and benedictiou was
pronounced by Rev. Early.
