DR.. and Mrs. Kessel left at 1925 in
the evening for st. Paul From
there they go to Quebec, and will
take passage May 20 on the Empress
of Ireland, to be gone three months
on Europen tour. They will be at
home after the 18th of September at
202 Second street, Cresco, Iowa.
The wedding presents were numer-
Gus and beautiful.
DR.. and Mrs. Kessel have the
hearty congratulations of many
friends here and in other places.
Mrs. Kessel, whose acquaintance may
be said to be world wide, has been in
Rochester for fifteen years and has
made many friends. She is native
of Owosso, Mich. She came here
from Chicago and Immediately en-
tered the Mayo office. To her fell the
task of administering anaesthetics to
patients about to undergo operations.
| She has proven herself most efficient
| in this work, and there have been
over 1900 persons who have been
safely carried through a period of in
sensibility to pain through her minis
trations. She is lady of rare vir-
tues and sunny disposition, and DR..
Kessel is to be doubly congratulated.
The groom is one of Iowa's leading
physicians and takes his bride to "a
home where there is no doubt of her
welcome and future happiness.
Miss Lizzie Kessel, Miss Lena Gill
bertson, Robert Thompson, and
daughter, Miss Thompson and DR..
Kessel's two daughters were among
the guests, from Cresco, Iowa.

kessler-Magaw.

A recent issue of the Rochester,
Mimi, Post and Herald, contained the
following notice of the marriage OF
Alice Magaw, former resident of this
city and sister of Mrs. Frank Thomp.
son Of Caledonia:
Miss Alice Magaw and Drp George
Kessel, of 'Cresco, Iowa, were united
in marriage at six o'clock Saturday
evening, at the home of DR.. and Mrs.
William j. Mayo, 27 West College
street.
The Mayo home was decorated es-
pecially for the occasion, green and
white being the color scheme. An
arch of asparagus ferns was erected
at the south side of the parlor, and
beneath this stood the minister,
Rev. Robert K. Wharton. Promptly
at the time appointed the bride ap-
peared on the stairs, escorted by her
brother, John Magaw, through a lane
formed by ribbons held by four flow
er girls, the Misses Gertrude Kessel
Alice Stinchfield, Dorothy and Phebe
Mayo. Arrived in the parlor they
were met by the groom and DR.. w.
J. Mayo, and the bride and groom
took their places before the arch,
where the words were spoken which
made them man and wife.
Congratulations were Immediately
in order and were spontaneous and
sincere.
A wedding dinner followed, which
was partaken of by thirty-eight peo-
pie, and as mark of the generous
hospitality of the host and hostess.
The large library was used as din
ing room. Three tables were used
and the decorations were in the pre-
colors, enlivened by brides

Carry Passengers and Freight.

Since the meeting held in New
Haven township over a week ago, at
which time the railroad proposition
was discussed, meeting has been
held in Owosso and the lines have
been drawn closer around the project
The report has been circulated
that the road will be used only as a
beets. This report is denied by the
New Haven people who claim they
must have a regular passenger train
service or nothing. I 1t is probable,
however, that the road will only ca
ter to the freight trade, until it is
extended through to New Lothrop
and the terminus. Nothing definite
has been decided upon as to New Lo-
throp, but a proposition will be sub
mitted by the promoters soon.
The capitalists of Saginaw are
becoming active and the board of
trade of that city will probably take
up the matter and pull for the line
to enter Saginaw. Meanwhile the
Flint people are stirring around
quietly and will make an effort to
chase Saginaw out of the deal and
head the lien for Flint. The Flint
people are not doing any shouting
about the matter but as the Hazel
ton Coal Company's Office is in that
city it is understood that Flint bust
ness men are doing considerable
hustling to steal a march on Saginaw.
If the project comes to head
and the road is built it will mean
much to either Saginaw or Flint
whichever city gets the terminal.
Owosso also will be greatly benefit
ted. The country to be opened by
this line is heavily populated and
rich in agricultural products and coal
The chances for New Lothrop get
ting this road are considered bright.
1t will take some money and steady
pull to land it. There will be de-
velopments soon which we think will
be favorable to New Lothrop and

He also said it didn't take as much
money invested in tools in those days
and they could raise better crops and
more bushel to the acre.
What kind of roads should the
farmer demand?" Mr.. Place answer
ed the question by saying that we
should demand just as good as dirt
and gravel can make them, so they
will be in good shape to draw loads
over. Mr.. Stewart gave some advan-
tages and disadvantages Of the new
road tax law.
What do you think of prohibiting
the liquor traffic by law" Mr.. Hur-
rell says we have laws now covering
all sides, but they don't enforce
them. What good are they or what
use to make more? He thinks liquor
is all right as medicine. Mr.
Stewart says he thinks the time is not
far distant when Shiawassee will be
numbered among the dry counties.
Mrs. Getman thinks an egg nog be-
fore breakfast is better than a
whiskey sling. Mr.. Willoughby says
the old country points a finger of
scorn at our prosperous land, on ac-
count of our liquor traffic. 1t is the
curse of our people. Mr.. Place
thinks it has no place in home,
even as a medicine. Mr.. Stewart says
anyone who has never been in large
city, has no idea how much evil can
be traced to drink. We had very
lively discussion of the subject last
ing about half hour.
After a song by the club a rising
vote of thanks was given the hostess
for her hospitality. The Lord S
Prayer was repeated and the meeting
dismissed. The hostess then served
fine supper.
Following is the program for the
June meeting:
rs life insurance a good invest
ment?" Mr.. Saver, Mr.. Schultz.
"The corner stone of education"
Mrs. Place.
"How many foreign flags are car
ried by American war vessels for the

passed from this world the spirit of
one of earth's ''noblemen.,, About the
time when mortals sat at the MONDAY
table he took his seat with the Gen
eral Assembly and Church of the first
born, which are written in heaven.
Some may say that he wasan "em-
pire builder" that he had a hand in
the corporate public utilities, which
tended to make life in this section
desirable, etc, this is granted.
We know that a picture to be ap-
preciated fully must be seen from the
proper perspective, distance, light,
etc. 1t may be, it is true, that in all
that goes to make up life stand in
the distance from the subject. And
this is what | see: A man not rugged
in physical makeup, but of strong vi
tality, in mentality keen and incisive.
He could almost intuitively grasp CON
ditions and shape affairs to take ad
vantage of them. A man Just the re.
verse of the spectacular He did not
wish to do anything for mere show.
In business, careful, methodical no
plunger, but always safe and sane
He was that high order of mental
character, a counsellor. He would
IN a thoroughly unselish way give
anyone a piece of good, sound advice.
II he has amassed a competence
so his progeny need not want il has
come to him as the result of honest,
patient, continuous toll through a
long and busy life. He has laid down
to rest, but his bed is not made of
iron rails, nor nuggets of silver. nor
gold, but he laid up his treasures in
heaven.
Another beauty in the picture is the
aesthetical nature so beautifully
drawn out Not so materialistic that

He loved pictures, music, flowers. He
sat in his 'art gallery" among paint
ings from different countries and
among them Colorado scenes. cowboy,
cattle, mountains, and then the most
beautiful of all, to my mind. | see

that brilliant part of his nature

kindness, in God. His house was built
on the Rock of Ages. He has said, 81
don't want money to come to me
where it leaves widows and orphans
crying for bread" and yet he was
business man, or working man all his
life. Here We have an example of
what the simple life can produce. No
aristocrat and yet one of the noblest
of earth's sons. When Marcus Aurel-
ius came to the throne he determined
to devote his great abilities to the
state for the good of the people. He
had a great incentive and his name
stands alone in history Here is a
man who devoted his great powers as
plain American citizen to live for
his family, city and state. He with

the ceremonies of opening parliament,
and as the house of commons is effec-

ministers would see them, the women
demonstrated by ringing doorbells and
delivering addresses from the door

dispersed after seven arrests had beer

emphasize the emergency nature of the
act that is proposed, and to this end
various amendments are inserted In
