A Concrete Building .

Dogs Attack Turkeys .

Two dogs attacked a flock of turkeys on the Dr. Moore farm one day this week, scattering the flock and biting a couple of the fowls so severely that death resulted. A shotgun was brought into use, but owing to distance or poor marksmanship the dogs escaped with their lives. Ele Ogg, who tenants the farm is practicing shooting and a different result may be expected the next time dogs attack any of the stock on the farm, so it would be a wise move on the part of the owners of the canines to keep them at a safe distance and not allow them to visit that particular vicinity.

STOLE A MARCH.
Emil Bromz and Jessie Ager are Quietly Married and Keep it Secret.

It has just leaked out that a couple of Worthington's prominent young people have been sailing upon the matrimonial sea for over a week, unknown even to their most intimate friends, and this announcement of their marriage will no doubt occasion a great deal of surprise.

On Wednesday evening, August 26th, Emil Bromz and Miss Jessie M. Ager went to the residence of Rev. G.A. Cahoon, and there in the presence of the minister's family listened to the words which united them in the holy bonds of matrimony, the ceremony taking place at eight o'clock . Mr. Bromz left Monday night for a short visit with his parents at Alexandria , Minn. , and will soon return and he and his bride will then leave for Colorado , where they expect to make their future home.

The groom is well known and popular among Worthington people, having been for some time a valued and faithful employe of the Rock Island railroad at this place. He is the possessor of a rich baritone voice, and has been engaged in the evening as singer of illustrated songs at the Grand, and has made many friends in that capacity.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Ager, and is a young lady of estimable qualities. She has grown to womanhood in this city and is esteemed by all.

So carefully did the young couple guard their secret that on the evening of the ceremony, Mr. Bromz was not on hand at the appointed time to sing his song at the Grand and another reel of film was run, after which the groom appeared and rendered his part of the program, offering no reason for the delay beyond the fact that it was impossible for him to get there on time, but their was nothing in his manner to indicate that he had just a few minutes before taken unto himself a life partner. The bride too kept her own counsel and not even her most intimate girl friends were let into the secret.

They are an estimable young couple and the Advance-Herald joins with their multitude of friends in wishing them a safe and pleasant journey upon the sea of matrimony.

Were Married Here.

Mr. Hugh J. Dienckman, of Lake Park , Iowa , and Miss Emma Flentji, of Round Lake , were married Wednesday at noon at the parsonage of the Presbyterian church, Rev. Wilder officiating.
