Mosher was shortly after arrested and
was placed in Ire Douglas county Jail.
While incarcerated here. in the charge Of
Sheriff Bennett, something OF a scandal
arose over tic fact that Mosher was having
2 high old time whenever he felt like il,
outside the jail walls. He was finally CON
voted. however. and sent TO the peniten-
tiary at Sioux Falls for five years, which
term he served. Then he went back to his
old home in Peoria. and from there he
later moved into Chicago, taking up the
brokerage and promoting business.
Mosher came of good stock and had in
nuential connections. so much so that he
was given credit for preventing Lincoln
being made a reserve city when his bank
was in deep water and would have been
exposed II the move had gone through.
He was a nephew OF c.. w. Marsh, who
had started the Marsh Harvester bank in
Lincoln and which had died of inanition,
This dead institution became the founda-
ton on which Mosher built the Capital Ma
tionsl.
The failure OF Mosher's bank affected
disastrously many a man and woman OF
small means. and the man is mentioned
with bitterness even today In Lincoln. The
failure also figured to a very large extent,
that led to Nebraska losing a very large
sum OF money through the BARLEY de-
salcation.

Beautiful Family Reunion.

Of the many happy homes in
Bnncombe there was one on Thurs
day last decidedly happier than all
of the others. Mr.. and Mrs. r. FL.
Minis celebrated the ffty-fourth an
niversary of their marriage by hold
ing a family reunion; their three
children and five grandchildren
gathered under the ancestral roof
for day of sweet communion and
social intercourse. Not only has all
of Mr.. and Mrs. Minis very beauti-
full married life been spent in their
present home, but the former was
born and reared in this house! 1t
may be said that he has been occu-
|>pying the same room for upwards
of three score and. ten years. May
these good Christian people be
spared yet many years to bless the
lives with which they daily come in
contact.

Fifty-Sixth Anniversary.

On Wednesday lastMr. and Mrs.
M. N. Holstein celebrated the ff-
ty-sixth anniversary of their mar
riage in Edgefeld at the home of
their daughter, Mrs. M. A. Taylor.
During this long period in which
each has shared the joys and sor-
rows of che other, the Great Giver
of all good gifts has dealt kindly
with them. Although Mr.. and Mrs.
Holstein have reared a large family
of children this devoted family cir
Gle has never been broken by a
death. Their present home near
Monetta has been their dwelling
place continuously since they
plighted their troths nearly three
score years ago. Indeed Heaven
has blessed these good people in
their happy marriage relation as
possibly no other couple in the state
has been blessed.
