WEDDING BELLS AGAIN
EVENTS OF FIFTY YEARS AGO
WILDLY RECALLED.

Soon after the civil war was over
a young soldier returning brought
back with him love of country and
,comradship.
The girl he left behind him became
his sweetheart his bride, his comrade.
The tie that bound them has stood
the test. and ON Wednesday, Nov. Is,
1916, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Butler of
North Seventh street extension, eele.
brated the occasion of the fiftieth an
niversory of their wedding. Fifty
years holds much of JOY and sorrow,
but time has certainly dealt lightly
with this couple. Their entire married
life has been spent in Mahaska Coun
ty, Iowa. Two children, Mrs. Mabel
White and Edward L. Butler, and three
grandchildren have been granted them
during the years, all of whom were
present when the fiftieth milestone
was reached.
Golden Chrysanthemums, Golden
Hours, Golden Wedding.
Henry r. Kendig, brother of Mrs.
Butler, pronounced an impressive we'd
ding service.
The bride and groom stood in the
archway leading from the hall to the
living room where the guests were
assembled. Frederick Butler and Dor
othy White their attendants.
The solemnity was relieved by the
groom presenting a very modern
wedding ring to his surprised bride.
Miss Rebecca Kendig, Henry r. Ken
lig, Ada Kendig Of Ottumwa, Iowa,
and Lana Butler were also present at
the first ceremony in 1866. A niece.
Mrs. Olive Lake, when small child
was present with her parents (Mr. and
Mrs. Peter Butler) at the first we'd
ding. Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Lake OF
Lake Charles, La, sent telegram
with greetings fitting the occasion.
Also that box of fifty Sat Suma or
anges were enroute. One golden or
ange for each year of their welded
life. Also by mail gifts and letter
from Mr.. and Mrs. Laurits Nielsen,
of Winterset, Iowa, regretting that
the condition of the roads made it
impossible to come by auto as plan
ned, and sending kindest wishes that
their future years might be full OF UNI
abated happiness and pleasure.
The relatives and friends, thirty in
number were lead to the dining room.
Golden pom-poms as souvenirs mark
ed the places, and the tables with
their golden candlesticks and gor-
geous wedding cakes, presented
most festive appearance. A four course
dinner was served, and with music
from the Victrola and the happy re-
hearsal of "reminiscences, the after
noon passed all too quickly. After the
gifts had been yiewed-and the conf
pany had departed, the bride and
groom of fifty years sat down in the
dusk to collect their scattered happy
thoughts. The only regret being that
more of their friends could not have
been included in the days festivities.
The sounds of a charivari party, men,
bers of the Lincoln Grange brought
them a pleasant surprise for the SER
enading party proved to be the very
friends and neighbors for whom they
had wished. The evening was spent
in merriment and music, Refresh
ments were served And so the day
ended a pleasantly and peacefully and
with as great promise of future ac-
tivity and Joy as any one might wish
for the eve of their wedding day.

Now that Chick Evans has won the

tcrmined bid for the national amateur
championship at Merton to establish an
American precedent for holding both
titles at the same time. This has new
or been accomplished on this side of
the water and only on one occasion
abroad.
John Ball, the perennial amateur
champion of Great Britain, won the
amateur championship at Hoylake in
1890 and the open championship at

such a feat in this country occurred

ing Tor the secrecy of returns, by
imposing the same criminal penal
ties upon any person for revealing
any information regarding income
frauds or eVasiOns that are imposed
upon the tax thief who robs the
treasury of millions. Congress slim
ulated cOncealment of income by
providing that income from dividends
need not be reported by individuals
unless the net income was more than
$4,000. Congress encouraged eva
sion by providing that returns should
be made only when the net income
Of individuals exceeded $4,000.
Congress protected the thieves by
providing that the income tax re-
turns, although described as public

inspection only upon formal order of
the president under the regulations
Of the secretary Of the treasury.
The president of the United States
and the secretary of the treasury are
responsible for the continuance of
the frauds because they have failed
to exercise the power given them bv
congress to open the returns to the
public in order that the nation might
know who the tax thieves are and as

have stolen.
