HOW IT WAS OBSERVED IN OKNKRALXOTBSnEaARplNGI EASTER. Good Friday is a day celebrated by the Roman Catholic aud Episcopal ihurches in commemoration of the leath of Christ. 'Easter, the following Sunday, is typical of 'ills triumph over when a power mightier ttoan any human hands could bestow rolled from the sepulcher the ponderous stone that lay before the door, debarring all Inquisitive personages from the sainted Good Frklay is HometirneH termed by Germans Stiller Frietag for the reason that bolls and organs are silent that day.

At. St. Mary's and St. Joseph's Roman Catholic and at Episcopal Churches there were special services held this Friday, which were largely attended, There will also be services this evening. For a period of forty days previous to Buster Sunday orthodox Catholics and Spiscopulians have abjured the guyi- ties and frivolities practiced by society and tho world, arid have given themselves up to ecclesiastical meditation.

Quiet engagements may have been made, but weddings, receptions, bulls and parties were laid asido for church duties, consequently so far as the com municants of these churches are concerned society has been at a standstill. At the close of the present week worldly festivities will be resumed, to continue until tho Lenten veil again demands a cessation. To tho majority of model husbands Easter is a day long be anticipated anil when realized long to be remembered. To the milliner Raster is a boon. When the dandelion and the Johnny-jump-up first show their colors the good wife commences to plan foi her Eastor bonnet, and she usually gets it.

After Eastor the husband has good cause to remember that clay, for it is he who has to pay for that dovo of a bonnet. Then, Sunday afternoon, Mrs Jones and Mrs. Smith will dissect Mrs Robinson's headgear, and this lady with Mrs. Flighty, will discuss the weak points of Mrs. Smith's and Mrs Jones' latest modes.

The (lowers tha bloom in the spring have hard time worn on Easter bonnets. THE SPIEIT oTlMPROVEMENT. IT AI'l'KAKS TO HAVE TAKKN GOOD HOLD ON THK OF FKKEPOR'l IH GOING ON.

J. W. Newcomer, of the Sterling Standard, who was in attendance al the marriage last week, writes in paper: "The marriage of Mr. George II. Stover and Miss Sadie E.

Wolf, at Freeport, last Thursday evening, was the occasion of much good cheer. Over a hundred guests witnessed the ceremony, which, just for a change, wa performed under a wish-bone made of evergreens and flowers, instead of the conventional horse shoe, Rev. 0. Mattison, of the First M. E.

Church, officiating. The refreshments, the social, and the numerous gifts were each and all perfect in their way, the gifts being very numerous aud many of them costly. Mr. and Mrs. Stover will reside in Ord, Nebraska, where Mr.

Stover is engaged in the mercantile business." The Lena Star, in referring to the event, speaks personally as follows: "The bride, Miss Sadie E. Wolf, was born and raised in Freeport, and by her loveablo disposition, amiable traits, reserved and quiet walk in life, and her willingness to render services whenever and wherever needed, gained for her a legion of friends in Freeport and elsewhere, and those friends found in her a friend in every sense of the term. Mr. Geo. H.

Stover, the gentleman who was so fortunate as to capture her heart and hand, is a resident of Ord, Nebraska. He is a business man, possessing a warm heart, affectionate disposition, and the geniality and all'abloness of a prince among his fellows, and those present on that auspicious evening coukl not help but admire and respect him for his manliness."

THE LABOR TROUULE8 AFFKCT THE MANUFACTURING AND SHIPPING INTERESTS OF THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY.

That the western country is in one way or other affected, by the labor doubles there is no doubt. When the strike on the Gould systems were first announced the manufacturers shippers 4id not take kindly to it, for the reason that it meant a great deal of inconvenience to them in more than one way. Many of the Freeport concerns do great deal of shipping to the southwest, aud the order issues by the railroad companies that "up'perishable freight would be received was such as to interfere with their general interests. In order to ascertain just how much the Freeport- ers are affected, a reporter for the JOURNAL interviewed the railroad agents, shippers and others, with the following result: rt. MURPHY, for the Central Company, said that ho had orders to receive ho freight of a perishable character for the Missouri Pacific and its lines, but everything was running all right now.

The express companies carried a great deal of butter to St. Louis and other points, but their own cars were doing that service now. MR. R. H.

HOLDER, the Northwestern agent, was similarly situated. He said that the strike was considerable of a bother, but his company was so situated that everything received for the south now. Next Monday their through butter train would be running between here and St. Louis. J.

SWKATT, the 8,1. Paul agent, was interviewed, and in answer to the question, said that shippers were generally pretty careful now, and did not care to risk many goods on the road until the strike was at an end. W. G. BARNES, of the W.

G. W. Barnes company, and the Barnes Manufacturing institution, said there was no doubt but the strike affected tho interests of all shippers. The firm had some goods locked up in Missouri several days, but they got out aftor awhile. At the present time there is considerable machinery destined here roui the ea'st that is tieci up in the Lake Shore strike.

He did not know when he would receive the goods, and is anxiously awaiting the outcome. H. WOODMANBK, of the Woddmali'se Manufacturing company, said that most of his shipments for tho Southwest were made by way of New Orleans. A lot of mills were lost some where iu Texas, in consequence of the strike, but lie thought they would trim up all right in course of time, FREDKRIC HARTLETT, President of the Burtlett Hardware Company, said that his institution experienced considerable difficulty whei: the strike was the hottest on theMissour Pacific, as the shipments from here to Mexico were seriously interfered with He was in hopes that the trouble in Chicaga would soon be at an end, foi if there was no receiving or delivering Freeport shippers and merchants would be greatly inconvenienced. W.

A. MERR1FIELU, Secretary of the Stover Manufacturing Company, is also in hopes that the Chicago strike will not be as serious as anticipated. His company had a little trouble in the southwest, but now most of their Kansas City business went through all right. J. L.

ROBINSON, the carriage manufacturer, is anxious that the trouble at Chicago should terminate, for a lot of goods that were shipped to him from the east are ii that city, ou the track. General interviews with the leading merchants and shippers indicate thai they do not relish a strike, for the tendency is to injure trade in many ways ALL QUIET. NO STARTLING INFORMATION FROJV THE CHIC AGO STRIKE TO-DAY. Information from Chicago is to the effect that there is no particular change in the situation. The Lake Shore men are out yet, and under the vigilant eye of deputy sheriffs and scores of private detectives, who are in the employ of the company.

No trouble of any importance is reported, and efforts for a settlement are saiil to be in progress. Will Ship To-Night. Ab. Klee was out with Henry Dor man Thursday, and the result was the purchase of thirteen head of horses. To-night the gentleman will ship a carload to Chicago, and in few weeks he return here and make his headquarters at Bergman Dorman's stable.

Mr. Klee spends considerable money in this part of the country on these periodical trips. The horses average a cost of about $200 each, and in the course of a year a great many thow- ahd dollarsjof the firm's money is left in this county.
