brilliant weddings. a more beautiful wedding day )U ld scarcely be imagined and with ' ',,.1! a glorious outburst of nature, ' s'littfe wonder that the minds of Vn and maids are wont to turn ® Is thoughts of love. Two brilliant weddings were solemnized •esterday and the realm of society 1 eenfbusy. Yesterdag at eight ,‘/lock at the St. Mary's Catholic ( . bu crh, Rev. H. Theb. Wilkens ..erformed the sacred ceremony ; vh ich united in matrimony, Miss Clara Voglewede and Mr. James P. H-iefling- ft w % s an impressive and beautiful ceremony, attended by several hundred of the friends of the bride and groom. The bridal pwty arrived -promptly at th- apixinted hour and marched to the a ger where the marriage was ]>er fjmed and Father Wilkens read High Mass. The maid of honor was Miss Bert Voglewede, the’ bridesmaids Miss Mayme Confer and Miss Mayme Deininger and the groomsmen, Mr. Tom Haefling and Hr. Frank Wemhoff.

She is a clever and popular lady whose friends are numerous. The groom is one of the best known young men in the county, having served during the past three years as deputy clerk and held other offices of trust. The many beautiful and costly presents but partially’ shows the high esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Haefling are held, and we join their army of staunch friends in ex tending heartiest congratulations.

The contract was not awarded however but the city council will meet in extra session this evening and take decisive action. There were four bidders on each job and the prices varied but very little. On the Fourth street job, Woods & Company, Calvin Miller, F. M. Kemp & Sons, and Neil Paving Co., of Montpelier, offered respectively to build the street with the Metropolitan paving block for 11.885, $1.94, |1.98, and <2.00. With the 11.97. $1.98 and 12.00.

After the bids had been layed aside the question of advertising for bids on Sixth street was brought up and it was decided to delay action iSatil more thorough understanding of the law in regard to the improving of streets had been obtained. Eugene McKean filed his report of the survey of south Tenth and Elm streets which are to be macadamized, but it was referred back to him for correction -and action on the improv ing of those streets is still forthcoming. The sewer committee in a report stated that they had gated the condition of that part of th» Monroe street sewer, west of Tenth street, and found it to be of insufficient size to carry oft all water from abutting property and in view of that fact asked the council to have it enlarged. Accordingly it was resolved that the street commissioner reconstruct the sewer from Tenth to Twelfth streets, lay-

Both < young people are well knbwn here and- their hosts of friends wish ! them well in their new life. More than eighty landownrt-s of Kirkland townships have presented a petition and filed the same at the auditors office, which asks for an I extension of the Peterson macadam road. The voice of said petition is (that said road extended from secI tion two, range thirteen, north to the Kirkland township line, a disone mile. This proceeding was made possible by an act of the last leigslature for extension of macadam roads. Friday, July 10, at the i) auditor’s office has been set for the hearing of said petition, said session being heard before the board of commissioners, who will then take action thereon. The building iof this short connection will be of ■ great benefit to the people of Kirkland township, and would give them ! a good road in every direction and ! at the present time but little or no j opposition is registered against the proposed improvement.

® Mr. and Mrs Charles A. Dugan cleverly entertained the whist club Thursday at their home on Monreo | street, four hours of the real enjoyment of life is the verdict. The 1 high honors were awarded to Mr. and Mrs. Ellinghani. Visitors were Mrs. Claude Cole of Lancaster, Ohio; Miss Rose Christen, Miss Bessie Schrock, and W. A. Keubler. Delicous refreshments were served . Now that the western waters are subsiding the people in the towns of this state can look for the professional beggars, both male and fe.rpaje. cgnie through working the flood graft, says tne Tipfbn Tribune. They will tell how they were drowned out of East St. Louis or some other place, barely escaping with their lives and losing everything they possessed in the way of property. Usually they represent that they are trying to get to the home of relatives in the cast, north or some other section of the country and in that manner they will manage to pick up a great many dollars in cash and clothing. There never Was a time w hen the country was not flooded with this class’ of people. They manage somehow to get a horse and wagon and start on a tour of collecting the traditional living which the world owes them.
