been ringing and two more hearts
are made happy. Mr. Adolph
Thomte and Miss Mattie Bryan
were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony Wednesday evening at
the home of the bride's parents, Mr.

very pretty ceremony which was
performed by Rev. G. A. Cahoon,
pastor of the Methodist church.
Both the young people are well
known and popular in the com­
munity. The bride has since grad­
uating from our public schools been
one of the successful teachers of
this county, having taught at Bige

nas made his home in Worthington

the successful firm of Harding &

have nearly all discharged th4
duties and everything now poiifcs
to the greatest demonstration of the
kind ever held in Worthington. All
the principal attractions have been
secured and the minor details "are
being rapidly disposed of and whs
the day dawns the eagle will scream
with an enthusiasm that will thrill
the living and possibly startle the
dead.
The event has been well adver­
tised with flamiqg posters and other
printed matter, and it will be
strange if Worthington is not called
on to entertain the largest crowd in
its history.
The oration of the day will bo
delivered by ex-Attorney General
W. B. Douglas of St. Paul, who
gained national fame in the
prosecution of the merger suits.
Mr. Douglas is one of the foremost
orators in the west, and his address
will be a rare treat to all who hear
him.

20, and a daughter of G. Casper,
of Hersey, last Sunday oommitted

of the time as a domestic in the

the Catholic churoh in this city and
was largely attended by friends of
the famliy. Miss Feit was a
popular young lady possessed of
many admirable qualities, and her
taking off by the great White
Plague is a sore affliction to her
parents.

Mrs. Anton Garmar of Ewington,
Jackson county, died last Sunday,
aged one day. The funeral was
held on Wednesday.

TWO HAPPY COUPLES
June Wedding Business Picking
Up Some Around
Brewster.
Between the hours of ten and
eleven o'clock Tuesday morning
Rev. Father Sherman, of Worthing
ton, performed the ceremony which
united for life Anthony W.
Weinandt and Miss Alice McCall,
the affair taking place at the
Catholic church.
The groom was attended by the
bride's brother Michael, who was
formerly his partner in business.
The bridesmaid was Miss Kate Mc­
Call and little Miss Bridget acted as
flower girl.
The witnesses of the event in­
cluded only the relatives of the con­
tracting parties, and these were
afterward entertained at the home
of the bride's mother in this place.
Among the guests present from out
of town were Mr. and Mrs. R. J.
Beaton and daughter Alice and Mr.
and tyre. Jerry Sullivan, of Heron
Lake, Mr. and Mrs. John O'Connor,
of Sioux Valley, Mrs. N. Weinandt
and Miss Julia McCarvel of Worth­
ington,
In the evening the Brewster band
gave the wedding party a pleasant
little serenade, and at its conclusion
the boys were invited in to partake
of the wedding feast.
The groom was formerly engaged
in the meat business here and also
acted as chief of police for some­
time. He has many friends in this
locality who congratulate him upon
the step he has taken. The bride
has grown to womanhood in
Brewster and vicinity, and 'for a
number of years has been a suc­
cessful teacher in the rural schools ..
well as a respected and popular
member of our community.
Mr. and Mrs. Weipandt left yes­
terday for Mankato, where they
will reside during the summer,
Tony having taken a position in a
meat market at that place. In the
fall he expects to return to Brewster
to run his threshing rig.
On the same day that the above
mentioned parties assumed their
perpetual partnership a similar
scene was enacted at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb Caspar three
miles northwest of town, their
daughter Ida having been joined to
Nicholas Kaufman by wedlock's
holy bonds. The officiating clergy­
man was Rev. Hayenga, of Sibley,
Iowa. The bride's sister Rose at­
tended her as maid of honor, and
Tillman Kaufman, brother of the
groom, was best man.
A large number of relatives and
friends were in attendance at the
wedding and reception, and the
band went out to liven up affairs
for a short time in the evening.
The happy couple came to town
the following day, and commenced
housekeeping at the Kaufman
residence.—Brewster Tribune.
Masonic School.
Thos. Morris of Crookston, Grand
Master of the state of Minnesota,
last Friday evening visited Frater­
nity lodge No. 101, A. F. and A. M.,
of this city, when he held a school
of instruction. A very profitable
session was the result, which was
followed by a banquet.
O. E. S.* Picnic.
The local chapter of the Order of
the Eastern Star held their annual
picnic on Wednesday of this weeK
in the Masonic ^hall. It had been
intended to hold it in the park, but
a heavy shower shortly after noon
prevented this. The picnic" -was
attended by the members of the
Star and their husband. A very
enjoyable time was had.
Conductors to Picnic.
The conductors on the Omaha
and Rock Island railroads are en­
deavoring to arrange for a joint
picnic to be held at Worthington at
some date in the near future.
Worthington enjoys a favorable
location and natural advantages for
affairs of this kind that are begin­
ning to attract attention.

PITCHFORK TILLMAN
Brief Sketch of Our Leading
Chautauqua Attraction.
Eroneous Popular Conceptions
of Distinguished Southerner
Dissipated.
Senator Tillman of South Caro­
lina, who is one of the chief
speakers at the Worthington Chau­
tauqua to be held Aug. 6th to 14th,.
is one of the most sought after men
on the American platform and
every one within a radius of 100
miles of Worthington should make
it a point to bear him. We are
pleased to give the following sketch
of Mr. Tillman, which dissipates
the eroneous popular conception of
him:
When Tillman first came into
view as a public man the impression
spread abroad was that here was
an uneducated, uncouth, brawling
Southern farmer, who aspired to
rule his State. This was one of
the earliest misinterpretations of
the man that was circulated over
the land. Benjamin R. Tillman
came of one of the most intelligent,
an it might be said aristocratic, of
the old South Carolina families.
When he was a boy before the war
he had for a governess and tutor
the sister of Chester A. Arthur,
who afterwards became President
of the United States. The Tillman
family lived in luxury until the
war swept away its property in
slaves and left it nothing but
depreciated land. The present
Senator, on that account, did not
go to college, as nearly all the
rich Southern youth did before
it
n\
'I
--am*
ancestral estate, and there he stayed
literally a tiller of the soil, until the
great political uprising of the
farmers of the West and South took
place in 1890. Mr. Tillman, how­
ever, during the twenty-five years
of his steady farm life was an eager
student of books and affairs, such
as became the brother of a promi­
nent fourteen year congressman,
the cousin of perhaps the leading
lawyer of the Alabama bar, and a
near relative of other
Tillman^
who
became respectively a professor at
West Point, a district attorney in
Tennessee and a United States
minister in the diplomatic service

Will be held at Worthington Next
Saturday—Large Crowd
Coming.
The picnic of Sioux City and St.
James shopmen of the Omaha rail­
way to be held here next Saturday
promises to be one of the best at­
tended events of the kind ever held.
The grounds in the city park are
in first class condition and every
thing that can be done by local
people to make the occasion enjoy­
able has been done. A good band
has been sercured for the day, and
a dancing pavillion has been erected
in the park for the accommodation
of the visitors. It is to be hoped
that the picnic will be so successful
that the railroad boys will decide to
make Worthington the permanent
location, of their annual outing.
