Nussbaumer-McKinney

A quiet wedding occurred in Wrangell Saturday night when Nicholas Nussbaumer and Miss Marie Mckinney became man and wife.
 Almost every one in Wrangell believed that the couple would marry sooner or later, and yet the wedding, coming just when it did, was somewhat of sur prise.
 On Saturday evening Miss Gussie Leonard was invited to go to the show with MT. Nussbaumer and Miss Mckinney, as their guest. At the show the young people met Louis Scribner and Miss Florence Billion, and Lloyd Dalgity and Miss Consuelo Orig wire. MT. Nussbaumer proposed that they all repair to his home for a lunch. The young people gladly accepted the invitation none of them having the slightest suspicion that they were being invited as wedding guests. But when Mir. Nussbaumer opened the door of his home and the guests beheld Miss McKinney's parents and the Rev. H. P. Corser they knew that a wedding was at hand. It was but a few moments until MT. and Mrs. Nussbaumer were receiving the congratula- tions of their friends.
 Mrs. Nussbaumer is a most charming young woman who has resided in Wrangell withher par ents for the past seven years.
 Nicholas Nussbaumer, the groom, is young man possessing many sterling qualities of charac- ter. He holds most responsible position with the Wilson & Syl- vester Mill company. When war was declared he was among the first to volunteer, and saw almost two years service overseas. He is a person who is every inch a man, and one whose integrity, honor, and love of country have been fully demonstrated during his 10 years residence in Wrangell
 The Sentinel joins with the many friends of this young couple in extending congratulations.

Interesting Meeting Held

| ~~SSsAA6 N@SAe
 There was a fair attendance at the meeting of the Americans Monday evening. The topic se- lected for discussion at the meet ing was Has Representative Government Been Attack ed in the Decision of the New York State Assembly to Deny Seats to the Five Socialist Members from New York City?'
 The first speaker was Mr. F. E. Bronson who gave brief his- tory of the case. and also stated some of the arguments that had been introduced from both sides. MT. F. H. Gray who was to have spoken on the question had been called to Ketchikan, and the Rev. H. P. Corser was called upon to substitute for him. Mir. Corser also gave review of the case and expressed his views in such a manner as to indicate that while he considered that the ac. tion of the New York Assembly in unseating the Socialist mem- bers was legal he did not consider that denying them their seats was an act of political expediency.
 The next speaker was Mir. Cor don c. Mitchell. He was very sorry that the issues were not more clear cut, but from what he had been able to learn about the case he was inclined to think that a blow had been struck at the civic liberty of the individual. He gave it as his opinion that if the Socialist members-elect of the New York assembly were men who were un-American there should have been some other way of getting them without unseat- ing them. He declared that per sonally he had always been a great supporter of the ballot, and that he believed that inasmuch as the Socialists had trusted to the ballot to elect these men that they should have been seated.
 Following the discussion there was an oratorical contest by the school boys. The speakers were: Andrew Engstrom, John Coulter, Elton Engstrom and Marion My CTS. The young men all did them selves great credit. The judges decided that Marion Myers had won the contest, with Elton Eng. strom a close second.
 The speaking contest was fol- lowed by two songs by the fol- lowing little girls: Etolin Coul- ter, Erma Grant, Margaret Me- Cormack, Dorothy Johnson, Mar jorie Johnson. These little song- birds were accompanied on the piano by Miss Ann O'Connor.
 MT. Bronson stated that during the next few months many of our townspeople would be out of town. He then made a. motion that the meeting adjourn subject to the call of the president, until the second Monday in October. The motion carried.
 The committee having charge of the program of the evening was composed of Messrs. F. E. Bronson, H. D. Campbell, and F. H. Gray.
