At the residence of George Bogenreif, in Glenwood township, the home of the bride, yesterday occurred the marriage of Miss Lizzie Bogenreif to Mr.

Frank Larkin. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Wm. Snow in his usual pleasant manner, and in the presence of the members of both families and a few invited guests. Frank Larkin is a eon of T.

G. Larkin, of this city, a young man of excellent habits and one of the prosperous young farmers of the county. The bride is the youngest daughter of George genreif, one of the thrifty farmers of Glenwood towuship. Miss Bogenreif is a charming girl, highly accomplished, and we get it from her new husband, of courseou the quiet, that she is one of the sweetest girls in all that country, andthe knows. The happy young couple will begin housekeeping on the farm of Mr.

Larkin and start with the best wishes of a large circle of friends, among whom the Dispatch desires to be numbered. ueu.ll Ultra JU cccc rs are IN POLICE COTJKT. Last Sunday afternoon there was quite a row between some of our citizens which occurred near the depot about the middle of the afternoon. The evidence showed that R. M.

Baker sent his son, a lad about 10 years of age, on an errand to the Ohmer hotel. The boy was stopped on the way by Ray Wilson and W. L. Smith, who refused to allow the boy either continue his journey or to return homo. Mr.

llaker learning of the trouble went over to where the child was and demanded of Wilson and Smith that they allow the boy to continue on his errand. His request was also refused, and when he insisted that the child be allowed to proceed unharmed his detainers fallowed fight. The Wilson boy picked up a large lump of coal and threatened to hit the old man if he interfered with their plans, and when Baker attempted to disarm his assailant, Smith caught the old man around the waist and endeavored to hold him while the Wilson boy used, his chunk of coal When Baker found that he was in for a fight he picked up a brick and proceeded to pound Smith over the' head and in the face in the most approved style. Max Fromuth, who was an eye witnesB to the whole affair, rushed in and separated the be-ligerents, but not until the blood had begun to flow pretty freely. Smith and Wilson had been drinking quite heavily and were, to use a very common expression, "about nine sheets in the wind.

This ended the fight aud all the beligerents returned Bound Over to Court. On Saturday of last week the Assyrian peddlers who visit this county regularly about eyery three months, drove into Prairie View with three or four of their wagons filled with their goods. During the night the wagons were broken open and 43 pairs of shoes taken from them. The next day 10 pairs of stolen bhoes were found just back of the barber shop in that town, which the parties supposed were hidden completely from the curious eyes of the officers. Oa Monday warrants were sworn out before A.

F. Walker, justice of the peace, for the arrest of Frank 11. Newell, the barber at Prairie View, William Shook and George Troup, charging them with grand larceny. Newell and Troup were arrested and theii examination was held before Justice Walker on Tuesday and both defendants were held for their appearance to the district court in the sum of I Young Troup, who is a boy about 10 years of age and a grandson of ex-Sheriff Troup, furnished the required bond and was released, but Newell failing to furnish bond was brought to this city and placed in jail where he will await the convening of district court. The defendant Shook is still at largo but the officers are hot ou his track and he will probably be brought in ia time to jiin the other boys in their trial in the district court.

J. G. Schheiuann, of I'hillipsburg, who is at present touring Kansas and lecturing on the war in tho Philippines, causing the pop cohorts inucli uneasiness because in his remarks lie never fails to assert that "We have Filipinos in our own country who are as antugo-nistie to us as are the inhabitants of Luzon." Chaplain Scliliemanu recently lectured in Osborne, aui every word he uttered was in hearty sympathy with the administration's war policy.

Mr. Schliemann is a populist niul was appointed chaplain of the UOth Kansas by Gov. Leedy. Osborne Farmer. Just one mistake, Charlie, Chaplain Schliemann is a splendid, level headed, republican, notwithstanding his appointment by Gov.

beedy. We think his knowledge of tho true situation has strengthened republicanism and his admiration for the administration. There would be more people In sympathy with giving the democratic party a chance to bust the trusts if tliey did not remember that the democrats also bust the bauks, the farmers, the merchants and tho whole pushWill Morgan, While Billy Bryan was running -'round hist month whiniiijr about the government discriminating1 ugainst silver, the republican party was running the mints night and day turning out two million stiver dollars, every one of them equal in value to any other dollar in the world.

Bissell on next Monday evening for the purpose of considering the advisability of organizing a fair association. Arrangements have been made by which the land south of town where the race track is, can be secured on a ten year lease for the payment of the taxes, with permission to remove all buildings and fences at the expiration of the lease if a new and satisfactory one should not be made. No county in the United States with the population and the commercial standing of ours should ever be one single year without a county fair. There are fdw counties in the state better prepared in evdry way to hold an interesting and profitable fair than Phillips, aud P.iillipsburg being the county scat aud within two mi.es of the geographical center of the couuty, is tae proper place to hold such a fair. The business man of this city miiht not ina'te the mistake of thinking that because we urj thus favored the balanoi of the county are going to force a lut of these good things upon us.

They are not jing to do it, but if we want these things we must reach out for them. We must in the first place, show that we waDt the trade of our country friends by miking our town us attractive as possible. We should furnish entertainment when we can conveniently do so, and in every way possible malie tho.se whom we wish to have our patrons, djsire to come to our town. In short the people of thecounty will expect the Ptiillipsburg people to take the initiative if we are to have a county fair. We must not only take the lead in the matter, but we have got to raise a large percent, of the mbney and do nearly all the work if we are to have an attractive county fair.

If we do not want to do this let us say so by ab senting ourselves from the meeting at Mr. Bissell'a office Monday night, but if we would like to see a good live county fair, gotten up for the benefit of the county and the entertainment of of the people, rather than to line the pockets of those who may be chosen its officers, then let us emphasize this fact by going to Mr. Bissell's oilice promptly at Monday evening and taking part in the plan which is to result in much good to our town and county if carried to a successful end. The Water Supply. Our city has been supplied now for about two weeks with water from the new pumping station on the banks of Deer Cneek.

There is an abundance of water all the time, and enough water running down the creek to supply the city of Chicago. The water is filtered through a long canal, filled with the best of material for this purpose, and from a pumping basin at the end of the filter is conveyed directly into the mains, so that the water is as pure as any well or spring water. The water is as clear as crystal and as soft as rain water. It is found to be superior to the water which has been furnished the city from wells in the past in every particular. The city is just now experiencing a little difficulty to keep the pipes from freezing during the little winter we are just now experiencing.

This is caused by the fact that the cold snap caught the workmen before they had finished the engine house and a portion of the machinery, which the intention is to have in a warm room, is out of doors exposed to the severe weather we have been having for the past two weeKs. This will all be done away witu as soon a the weatner moderates so that tone masons can work outsid-j again, and when this part of the work is completed and a little additional work is done on the our system of water work will be complete and will be one of the Tery best la the state lorbstb supply and quality. Just received a new lot of Harness Harness to-their homes. Monday morning Mr. Baker appeared before Police Judge Strain aud swore out a warrant, charging Roy Wilson and IV.

L. Smith with au assault aud with being drunk in the public streets of the city. The boys both plead guilty to the charge of being drunk aud the other charge was withdrawn. Judge Strain fined them each 5 and costs, amounting in each case to $14.40. The Wilson boy paid his tine and costs in full and Smith paid half of his and was given time for the balance and was released on his recognizance.

This bit of Sunday afternoon sport reminds us that we have an ordinance on the city statute books which makes it a criminal offence to be drunk oil the streets of this city and the minimum fine is $5.00. This statute seems to have been about forgotten by our people, but it is there all the same and Marshall Duvall may have occasion to remind some people in the future that such a law exists. There are some people in this city who are ''hitting a right lively pace" and it they are not stopped in their mad rush, they may "land up" in the penitentiary. We hope it will not be necessary to refer again to a violation of this law, at least for a long time, but the only way to avoid it was to put the tempter aside. It is with pleasure that we announce the marriage of Mr.

Geo. F. Churchell to Miss Minnie A. Uuuiou, both of this township, at the home of the bride's parents about four miles north west of this city on Tuesday evening of this week. These young people are well and favorably known to the peo' pie of the uorlh part of the township where they have both lived from child hood They are children of two of the well-to-do and prosperous farmers of the couuty, arid start in life with very flattering projects and with the best wishes of a largo circle of friends among whom the Dispatch wishes to be numbered.

Rev. Shockley pronounced the words which united this happy couple in the presence of about flirty guests. From his description we know it was a very pretty wedding, Mr. Sockley said the wedding cake was abou! the finest he ever saw.
