BROTHER AND SISTER
LIVE AS MAN AND
WIFE IN IGNORANCE

Six years ago Lena Rebeck and
August Reske were married in Canton
after a brief courtship following thelI
meeting in a Cleveland amusement
park Last Thursday the awful truth
was brought home 10 the woman that
she had welded her own brother and
had borne him two children.
The knowledge was forced on the
woman during a hearing in the Cuya-
hoga county probate court last Friday
regarding the guardianship OF the two
children, both boys. one and four years
OF age, the father being dead.
The mother OF the woman vouched
for her story and said that she came
to this country in 1853, bringing with
her the two children. She gave the
daughter to August Wolfe, OF Che
boygan, Mich, and later she was plac-
ed in a girls industrial school 10
Wis. II was after leaving
that institution that she met and mar
ried the man whom she learned last
Friday was her brother.

ALPEN.ROESLl
Gave Their Second Annual Concert at
Opera House Yesterday-A Pro-
nounced Success.

The second annual concert OF the
Canton Alpen-Roesli given yesterday
afternoon at the Grand opera house
was a pronounced success and the
members Of the organization were Civ.
en- unstinted praise by their friends
for the success OF their efforts. The
concert gave every evidence of a long
and careful preparation and was a fin
ished musical entertainment. A good
house was in attendance and was lib.
eral in its applause.
All OF the musical numbers were ex.
cellently rendered and we're received
with much favor but the "Schnitter
Tanz," Harvest Dance, given by six
couples in costumes OF the i4th cen
tury, and the living picture and tab
leau which closed the entertainment
were probably the most interesting
features OF the afternoon The dance,
in which the gentlemen were armel
with scythes and the ladies' with rakes
was gracefully executed and proved
TO be filled with graceful steps and
movement. The costumes were pretty
and by the brightness OF their color
added 10 the general pleasing effect.
The tableau, in which the same per-
sons took part as gave the dance was
very pretty and was greeted vita
much applause. Prof. Z. Scheliing
was the director Of the entertainment.
