Quite a number of people from this city will go to Magley this evening to attend the wedding of Miss Hulda Fruchte, the daughter of Henry Frucbte of that place, to Mr. Fled Kolter, a prosperous young farmer also of that place. The happy event is to occur at the Magley Reformed church at 6:30 this evening and is to be quite a large event. Mrs. Ernest Miller of north Seventh street was greatly surprised last evening, whene a number of her friends rushed in to see her. In response to a knock she opened the door and the guests, masqueraded, rushed in. Mrs. Del Lake and Mrs. Carl Platz plannt d the affair in honor of Mrs. Miller’s thirtieth birthday.
