An Economical Marriage

1t is reported that there is a
minister here who a shcrt time
ago was somewhat put out over
the marriage of a couple. 1t
was not particularly the marriage
that frustrated him but the
Tip, the minister gets for his
performance Of ceremonies. It
lis generally understood that the
happy groom is going to come
across with a note of the value
of two bones. If he is ex-
traordinarily happy and the
minister tacks on a few happy
phrases the elated groom may
forget the b. c. of !. and come
across with a dollar or two more.
The story goes that this minister
married the couple and as the
groom turned to leave, he press
ed into the minister's outstretch-
ed hand, a coin about the size a
ten-dollar gold piece. The min
lister didn't want to look at that
time, afraid he might break the
spell so showed the coin in his
pocket, willing to dwell on this
later. When he reached his
room he pulled out the coin and
found it was a fifty-cent piece.

Jaco, who is a good swimmer
succeeded in saving the young
est sister but the older after a
struggle, sank to the bottom and
later her body was recovered

been in the water solong as to
make attempts at resuscitation
futile, and all that could be
done was to prepare the body
for burial and ship it to her
home for burial which was done
on Friday on No. 8. The whole

quite a few people from here
Wednesday. Some of them got
pretty wet on the way back.
The show was the Yankee Robin
son circus and it was the same
show there last year. 1t was
poorer if anything than a year
ago and it was not strong at
that time. Some trained seals
and an act or two of the many
put on by quartet of over
worked Japs constituted the only
meritorious parts to the per-,
formance. 1t was decidedly
punk and the tent was filled dur
ing the afternoon. A ten-cent
side show for a quarter, ten
cents to look at a bunch of COM
mon snakes and fifty cents to
see a bum show, made the out
lay a poor one. The parade
started about 1890.

New Franklin Howard County,
Mo-, May 5 1904 and died at the
come of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Tom Norman August 13,
1914 of spinal meningitis after
an illness of but a few days.
The young girl was attending
party a few evenings prior to
the attack by the disease, and in
play she was pushed violently
and fell in a chair in such a man
ner as to injure her spine. AL
most Immediately symptoms of
the terrible malady appeared and
in spite of all the skill which
could be procured and the most
devoted attention of her family
she succumbed to one of our
most implacable enemies. Her
father was absent from home
during her sickness and death
and funeral on some secret
mission, and the great distress
of the family was increased by
this circumstance.
The remains of the bright
young girl were brought to this
city Saturday and deposited in
the city cemetery an
unusually large attendance of
friends of the family being
present. Services were con-
Quoted at the grave by Revs.
Meyers and Russell. The floral
tributes were profuse and
splended. The deep sympathy
of the Courier is extended to the
relatives of the deceased.

prot to Brunswick for interment

where, gained the respect and
confidence of all with whom he
fame in contact. The latter
part of last week he was seized

was discovered that the ap-
pendix had bursted and septic
poison had spread.

Brunswick during the latter
part of his school days, securing
permission from his teacher to
absent himself from school one
afternoon in order to go to a
meeting being held by Rev.
Robt. White at which time he
hnited with the church.
The people of this city will
remember him more particularly
by his connection with the B.
III. S. athletic club in their con-
tests with the X. H. S. team.
He was splendid athlete, and
never was there a suspicion that
he was not strictly fair in all his
acts. He was quiet, dignified
and all round splendid young
man, and the Courier joins his
relatives and their community in
sincere regret over their loss.

Sell Non-PrOducers

Some of the people here are
wisely selling their stock of old
hens and roosters and elimina-
ting from their flocks the non-
producers, etc., in the face of
the high price of feed. Corn
was selling on the local feed
market at 95 cents and wheat
was selling for the same, Tues
day, with the market entirely
devoid of either grain. This
makes chicken feed high. How
ever. the tendency to keep the
springers is strong because
they are at least as cheap,
healthful and delicious food as
beef and this is on the upward
bound with pork and other
commodities of the character.

Jesse IECHMEIER dead
Overcome With Gas While
Working in Well, Falls
and Breaks Neck.

Monday, while assisting his
father, VIM. Techemeier and
others in cleaning out a well,
Jesse Techemeier. oldest son,
aged twenty-five fell from the
bucket near the surface and
broke his neck on the bottom Of
the 25 foot hole.
The young man went down in
the tub to do the filling and be-
coming sick, asked to be hauled
out. He got in the tub and
grasped the rope, but when
within about 10 feet of the top
he dropped from the vessel and
shot headforemost to the bottom.
His sister was lowered inn
mediately to his rescue, but was
unable to pull him from the
mud into which he had stuck.
Becoming faint, she was pulled
out, but was barely able to
cling to the tub and rope until
she reached the top. A neigh
Dor was summoned who made
the attempt with the same re-
suit. 1t was not suspected that
the neck had been broken until
his body was recovered. The
black damp nearly caused the
death Of two others.
Jess Techmeier was one Of the
best respected and most un-
iversally loved young men in the
southern or any other part Of
the county. He was a musician
as well asa hard working young
man and the nelghborhood will
greatly miss him. He was
buried at the Lutheran cemetery
near Aholt Wednesday, nearly
every one in this section of the
county being present to synpa-
thize with the relatives and
testify their regards for the
deceased.
