and she wore a dress Of shining
white satin Topped and hung with
deep-hearted rubies, and her long
hair was pinned to the bottom Of
the train, each strand with a cross
Of burning rubies.

kid" Nichols Loses.

A few years ago an Iowa Falls
correspondent sent out the report
that Kid Nichols, at one time a
resident of Webster City and some
thing of second rate wrestler, had
been sent to the pen for shooting
elk in Yellowstone National Park.
This correspondence was published
in a number of the papers of the
state and Nichols brought suit for
damages. The report grew out Of
the fact that Nichols had shot elk
in the park, had escaped from the
officers by abandoning his horses
which were carrying the carcass of
an elk, had later surrendered him
self to the officers and had been fin
ed 500 and costs, amounting in all
to $131.96. His horses were also
confiscated. A case recently brought
by Nichols against the Waterloo
Times-Tribune was tried a few days
ago and the jury returned a verdict
for the newspaper.

Tolstrup-Cohagan Nuptials.

The unusual chilliness of the first
weeks of June has not caused no
ticeable decrease in the number of
June weddings in this vicinity. An
other bride of the month was added
to our list when, at the home of her
father, H. J. Tolstrup, south of
Kamrar, Miss Syrena Christina Toll
strip became Mrs. S. Arthur Coha-
gan.
Shortly after six o'clock Wednes-
day evening, June eleventh, Miss Le-
la Snow, niece of the groom, struck
the opening chords of "The We'd
ding March" from Lohengrin, while
the bride and groom took their
places in the north parlor. Then as
the music changed to the soft strains
of the Spring Song" the dignified
and solemn ceremony of the Metho
dist church, including the ring SER
vice, was pronounced by the Rev.
Lewis F. Havermale of Alpha, H.,
and relatives and guests rendered
their fluctuations. The bride was
charmingly gowned in brocaded
satin with surplice waist trimmed
with shadow lace and pearl beads,
the skirt having the draped effect.
She carried a bridal shower of white

decorative scheme was pink and
white, cut flowers being used in
profusion, while sprays of smilax
garnished the board. Altogether it
was one of the most attractive we'd
dings of the season.
1t will be remembered that the
bride, Syrena c. TOlstrup graduated
from Iowa state Teachers College
in June, 1912, and for the past year
has been teaching in Iowa Falls.

The Grocer's Dream.

The following poem, understood
to have been written by Miss Jennie
Breitenkamp of Sheldon Bros groc-
cry store, was handed the Freeman
Tribune with request to publish:
Last evening I was talking
With a grocer aged and gray,
When he told me of dream he had,
think twas Christmas day.
While snoozing in his office
This vision came to view,
For he saw an angel enter,
Dressed in garments white and
Said the angel: "I'm from heaven;
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory
And put on your golden crown.
You've been a friend to every one,
And worked hard, night and day;
You've supported many thousands
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up in glory,
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, just reward"
Then the angel and the grocer
Started up towards glory's gate,
But when passing close to hades
The angel murmured "Wait-
I've place I wish to show you;
It's the hottest place in hell,
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment forever dwell"
And behold the grocer saw there
His old patrons by the score,
And grabbing up chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more.
He desired to sit and watch them
AS they'd sizzle, SINCE and burn;
And his eyes would rest on debtors
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the angel, Come on, grocer,
There are pearly gates to see.'
But the grocer only muttered,
This is heaven enough for me-"

Obituary..

Harriet NJ. Carpenter was born in
Lenox, Astabula county, Ohio, Feb.
l19, 1S47. She received her educa-
ton at the Grand River Normal
school in Ohio and followed the oc-
cupation of teaching for a number
of years. She came to Iowa in the
spring of 1877 and continued teach
| ing. She was considered one of the
strongest educators in the county.
She was married to Otis G. Robb,
March II, 1896 She has been a
faithful and constant worker in
Purity Rebekah lodge since her mi
tiation April 3, 1896. She has held
in succession the Offices of financial
and recording secretary and vice
grand and noble grand and was re-
elected financial secretary and held
the office of recording secretary I'M
til a few weeks before her death,
when she resigned on account of i'll
health The deceased was a dele
gate to the Rebekah assembly in
|1904-O5.
In 1902 the Rebekah convention
was organized in Webster City and
Mrs. Robb was elected president
and was the present vice president.
The district then, No. 50 and Sc, is
now known as No. 40 and "a. She

United Brethren, Baptist and Meth
odist Churches Hold Interest
ing Meeting in Metho-
dist Church.
GATHERING IS WELL ATTENDED
Speaker Devotes Most of Her Ad-
dress to the white Slave
Traffic"

The union service of the United
Brethren, Baptist and Methodist
churches held in the Methodist
church Sunday evening was we'll
attended in spite of the unusual
heat of the day and twilight hours.
AS prelude to the service the
Methodist male quartet sang that
beautiful twilight hymn, Now the
Day is Over" Yesterday was the
first time for several weeks that this
musical organization has been heard
and their contributions to both
morning and evening services were
very much appreciated. Also the eff
forts of Miss Malou tombstone, who
played the pipe organ, are worthy
of favorable comment. Miss John
stone has only handled the organ for
a few weeks and has made remark
able progress on this instrument. A
solo by Mrs. E. n. Law, who accom-
panies herself upon the autoharp,
completed the musical prelude. Mrs.
Laws clear sweet voice brought
home to every heart the pathetic
words of that sad message of "Some
Mothers Child" and a quiet hush
spread over the restless audience as
she sang.
In the address of the evening,
Mrs. Law spoke for the greater part
Of the time upon the subject Of the
white Slave Trade and its Evils, -
giving from her own and others ex-
perience, which she knew to be true,
some all too terrible facts and stor-
les of this social evil of the civilized
world.
Mrs. Law speaks with force and de-
termination, evincing an almost con-
suming hatred for the evils she is
trying to help eradicate. Yet some
way in listening to her one can not
help but feel that behind her words
of forceful and bitter denunciation
there lies the great loving heart of a
good woman, whose knowledge of
the awfulness of evil has in no way
turned her against humanity, or les
sened her faith in the everlasting
triumph of the good that is in man
kind.
Mrs. Law declared that close in
vestigation of the white slave traf-
fic, the slum districts, the thieving
and numbering places of the great
cities, points ever more steadily
back to the liquor business as the
greatest cause and the strongest al
ly for their existence and mainten-
ance. Were it not for the open sa-
loon and the licensed manufacture
of alcoholic liquors these places
could be greatly reduced in numbers
and brought down to a condition
bordering at least upon annihila-
ton.
The government, however, is at
present licensing institutions such
as the red light districts of our
cities and open brothels which are
