Celebrate twentieth Anniversary

Mr.. and Mrs. August Schuerman,
residing at the corner of and First
streets, celebrated their twentieth
wedding anniversary last Saturday
evening, the 18th inst, although
their many friends, with few excep-
tions, were unaware that the event
was an anniversary occasion, so
quietly did host and hostess keep the
secret. The invited guests were
Messrs. and Mesdames F. H. John
son, j. R. Burnette, E. E. Bagley,
Frank Jordan, w. w. Caldwell, F. L..
Camps, d. r. Minkler, o. ]. Stone,
c. l.. Cunningham and w. H. Day. A
sumptuous dinner was in order, the
table decorations being unique, after
which the evening was pleasantly
whiled away with games, music and
social converse. Before speeding the
parting guests, Mr.. and Mrs. Schuer-
man were made the recipients of sew
eral gifts appropriate to the ami
versary event.
August Schuerman and Caroline
Lenox Miner were married in Rich
land Center, Wis, Deceber IA, 1898.
AS their names indicate, they came
from German and Scotch stock. They
are both natives of the Bad ger state,
their parents having been among the
sturdy pioneers of that common.

Modern woodmen Elect.

The local Modern Woodmen elect
ed officers last Friday night. AS it's
name implies, Mahogany Camp Sc
lected the very best official timber,
although in choosing the candidates
parliamentary traditions were cast to
the four winds in the mad scramble
for place and position.
The fats and leans lined up as fol-
lows: Rev. w. A. Schwimley, of the
local Congregational pastorate, daz-
zled by the glitter of pomp and pow
er, was elevated to the venerable
consulship. The office carries with it
handsome decrease of salary. E.
d. Briggs, after years of waiting in
the ranks, was exalted to the posi-
tion of worthy adviser. Backed by
the money trust, George Eubanks
won out easily for reelection as
banker. Gus Hedberg had every
thing cut and dried to succeed him
self as clerk. An effort will be made
at the next head camp to make the
clerks job a life position and then
some, inasmuch as nobody else can
be bribed into accepting it. The
Smiths are we'll represented on the
board. E. F. Smith, who never at
tends camp but as a candidate for
office, was chosen escort, a result
which may be protested. v. o. N.
Smith, at the behest of the insidious
methods of the regional banks, won
out for sentry, another evidence of
the secret influence of the money
power. o. E. Hurst, actively opposed
by many friends, landed the manager
ship. Frank McWilliams was ad-
vanced from the position of venerable
consul to watchman, result which
is also looked upon as a merited pro-
motion.
After the election, which ended in
an uproar, j. w. Simmons of Port
iohu, o'otS uCputy HSdu COnSul, dQ-
dressed the neighbors on general top
les, more specifically upon the Wood
man Sanitarium in Colorado and the
perplexing readjustment of rates
problem.
In the meantime, representatives
from among the Royal Neighbors,
Mesdames F. G. McWilliams, ]. e.
and F. H. Crowson, G. H. Hedberg and
Miss Agnes Hedberg, had quietly ar
ranged an elaborate "five-course"
luncheon consisting of sandwiches,
olives, cake, ice cream and coffee,
and over this substantial spread in
the banquet room goodly number
of the membership of Mahogany
Camp. No. 6565, pledged anew their
fealty to the officers-elect.

Morgan, whise hitting has been one of
the features of the Nationals games of

often than any of his teammates during
the past three weeks, and was playing a
brilliant game at second.
