Judge Brazee. is expected back from his two months' fishing trip tomorrow, but from sources close to the grand Jury it is learned that indictments may be returned before that time, as It Is probable that the Jury will, on next Friday, adjourn until the following Tuesday on account of the intervening holiday. In that event Judge Tarrant, it is believed, will again be called in. Only a few indictments are expected In this it is said high city officials will be found in the dragnet. It is believed that the efforts of the district attorney since the Jury reconvened after lt vacation have been directed toward finding material which will lend itself to discredit certain high city officials.

It is believed that no more indictments will be returned on the confessions of Setdel and Strauss, the self-confessed grafters. No little comment is being occasioned Because of the nonappearance of either Adam Kreuter or Robert S. Nelson, members of the Chicago firm of Nelson Kreuter, before the grand Jury. When Mr. Kreuter pleaded guilty to the Indictment found against him by a former grand Jury and was lined $1,000 and costs a month ago, both members of the firm made full confessions to the district attorney and were placed under bonds of $800 each to appear before the grand Jury when wanted, So far as known, neither has haen asked to repeat to the Jury what he has told Mr.

MeGovern. Strauss, as chairman of the printing committee of the county board, is said to have intimated knowledge of alleged irregularities in the awarding of Job printing work by the county. Indictments In this connection have been found by former grand Juries, but the present grand Jury has apparently not touched upon this subject. It is not known whether the district attorney has made arrangements 'to bring this phase of Strauss' testimony before that body. i.

News of a secret wedding has been gradually throughout the village causing no little talk and much speculation as to its date. The wedding is that of Miss Hallie Olive Elrod and Peter Aloysius Dwyer. On the day of the Northwestern picnic, Saturday, August 5, Mrs. Dwyer confided to a couple of close friends the news of her Change of name, and inevitably the news slowly spread. This morning when the bride was accosted as Mrs.

Dwyer she gave a very perceptible start of surprise, but laughingly pleaded guilty to the charge. "Why," she said, "we didn't expect to have anything In the papers yet. Why, yes, I suppose If it Is pretty well known, it might as well be published. No, I don't believe I'll give the date you see It Is such fun to keep the 'know It alls' guessing. I'll tell you, though, that It happened about five weeks ago.

We-were visiting in Chicago, and slipped across to Michigan. No, I don't believe It la necessary to say where but It to a pretty well known summer resort." Miss Elrod and Clyde Rogers were married by Justice of the Peace Colburn at North Fond du Lac on Eaeter Monday, 19i)3. It was a runaway match and caused no little excitement. Just a year from the day of the marriage the couple parted, and Judge Rlchter granted Mrs. Rogers her divorce and permission to resume her maiden name.

The case went to the plaintiff by default, Mr. Rogers not appearing In the court room, being, Indeed, at the death bed of his mother. The Michigan marriage of mysterious date will, perhaps. Illustrate the adage that "He laughs best who laughs last." Messrs. Rogers and Dwyer were both boarders in the Elrod home when Miss Elrod was atlll a maiden, and both were presumably suitors.

Mr. Rogers was seemingly the victor, but after that matrimonial venture proved a failure. Mr. Dwyer resumed his courtship and his constancy has finally been rewarded. Mr.

Dwyer Is a brakeman on the Ashland division of the Northwestern, having a run out of North Fond du Lao. He and his wife will make their home with the Elrod household at 1128 Michigan avenue. Mr. Rogers Is an Oshkosh man, his father owning a farm Just outside the city. HAS EIGHT HUSBANDS.
