New Home to
Be Built for First
Presbyterians
Old Landmark at Seventeenth and
Dodge Street to Be Sold
at Once.

That the present church building has
served its purpose and that owing to the
development OF the city a new location is
desirable, was the decision arrived at at n
meeting Of the congregation OF the First
Presbyterian church last night. The trus-
tees were authorized to sell the property
at a sum not less than 10000. and C. X.
Coutant, who as chairman OF the board %
trustees presided, stated that they would
have no difficulty in getting that amount,
that in fact an option was at present be-
ing sought at that figure. The trustees.
he added. expected to get at least $4,000.
The selection of site was left with the
trustees and the members Of session, who
were also requested to formulate plans for
the raising of the necessary money. The
trend OF opinion seemed TO be that size
near Twenty-fourth street and Farnan,
would be the most suitable and that IL the
church were erected there 1t would not
only have excellent street car facilities.
but would serve the entire congregation OF
the church.

Board Holds Off
Boulevard Work
Park Commissioners Make Creighton
Pasture Available for Avia-

Wednesday afternoon the Park board de-
cided to postpone indefinitely grading the
proposed new boulevard that is to run
through Creighton pasture. This makes It
certain the aviation meet set for July GA
can be held at that location, which is con-
sidered the best one available for the
Permission has already been secured from
the owners for the use of the tract during
the aviation meet
The board also decided to indefinitely
postpone the grading advertised 10 be done
at the northwest entrance to Riverview
park. In this instance, as in the case of
the boulevard, the board was of opinion
the prices asked by the bidders were too
high.
The board was advised by the city legal
department that the street railway COM
pany cannot maintain the tracks It has
laid on the boulevard at Eleventh and
Pierce streets. Protests against laying
the track on the boulevard were received
from residents in the vicinity, and the
board will request the mayor and council
to take whatever action may be necessary
to have the track removed. The permit
for the track laying was secured from the
city engineers office last February, but
was not used until recently. when a short
piece of track was built from the new
car barn.
| BY July 10, according to advice received
by the Park board, the new street car
stub from Fortieth and Leavenworth to
ElmYood park will be completed and In
operation.

general. You can bet your last dollar that
the big fight will be pulled off in my town,
just as advertised
Mayor Pat Mccarthy of San Francisco
skipped from depot TO depot to catch
Pacific coast-bound flyer, delivered this
'ultimatum just after scurrying through
the sporting extras which had announced
rthat Governor t1illett of California had is
sued orders through the attorney general
that the Jeffries-Johnson battle must be
pulled Off outside the boundary lines Of the
Golden state.
& Mayor Mccarthy, who went into office
son the union labor ticket as the candidate
of the San Francisco organized labor,
further added q few words TO this point,
which are indicated by asterisks.

State" he continued, iii he thinks he can
step into my town and tell us what we
must do and what We shall not DO. We
know what we want and we get what we
want. when we want It,

vi tell you we run San Francisco" he re-
piled. I'VE run it to spit ourselves. We
have policemen who do what We tell them
70 do. The best bet of the day is that
somebody will be badly licked In san Fran
cisco on July 4th. and by that mean either
Jeffries or Johnson"
Mayor Mccarthy evidently was angered
by the bulletins that Governor Gillett haC
slammed the lid on the fight. He had come
from indianapolis. Four weeks ago he
went to the Indiana capital to participate In
the dedication of the new building of the
Carpenters union. He broke his leg during

That was simply the cold news fact an
nounced with eight or ten other marriage
licenses issued last Monday by the clerk
Of the Pottawattamle district court
But there is somethig behind that license,
that reads like a romance, and a pretty
romance 1t is.
Not long ago, it was last summer, Miss
Martha Launer of Fremont, Neb., was one
Of a party of picnickers on Fremont island.
Incidentally she wrote her name and ad-
dress upon a fragment of a paper napkin
and putting it into an empty pop bottle.
closed the bottle again and threw the bot1
tie into the Platte river. She shortly after
forgot all about the incident.
The bottle floated away and a week or
two afterward Roy Meyers OF Louisville,
Neb., recovered the bobblng bottle in the
river near Louisville, and noticing piece
Of paper in it, opened the bottle and found
Miss Launer's address.
He wrote her of the find, and a CORE
spondence sprang up between the two
which grew in interest. The two met al
Fremont, and the meeting ripened into a
determination to marry.
Play waiting Game.
The parents of the girl objected to the
marriage on account of her youth, bu
!
objections. So they bided their time, be-
lieving that they would win over the par
ents Of the girl to consent to the union.
Last Monday the young couple for th'
moment eluded the family vigilance Of thu
Launers and Roy and Martha came t
Council Bluffs to secure a marriage license
lest the parents of Martha should object a
the last moment.
They presented themselves at the Council
Bluffs court house and applied for a mar
riage license. Clerk Harry Brown was
little skeptical about the age Of the girl, an
so with her consent and that Of her futur
husband, he telephoned to Fremont to tn
girls parents to ascertain If the girl was o
legal age. The parents Of Miss Laune
were considerably surprised at the stan
affairs had taken but making the best o
it, stated that Miss Launer was Of legal ag
and gave their partly reluctant consent t
the marriage.
The young couple went to minister o
Council Bluffs, who was known to some o
Mr.. Meyers friends, and were made one.
They have gone on a short wedding toul
and will make their home at Louisville
