The K. of P. dancing club had a very enjoyable season of it last night. Sickness and misfortunes kept many away who otherwise would have been among the foremost to make the inaugural a success.

Last evening a lamp explosion was narrowly averted at the home of Wm. Gebhard by C.A. Miller, who entered the house and threw the flickering lamp into the yard.

DR PEAIRS WORSE TODAY – His Father and Dr. Burly, of Chicago, Sent For.
That Dr. Peairs is seriously ill there is no denying. Although he was resting easier yesterday, his condition was by no means convalescent as reports would have led one to think, and he is in a worse condition today. The doctor is not as robust of physique as might be, and the turn his condition has taken has called for the sending for his father who resides in Iowa. He signified his desire to have Dr. Burly, for whom he worked at the hospital while studying medicine at Rush Medical College, to come down and hold a consultation with his attending physician, Dr. Palmer. It is sincerely hoped that the latter may be productive of encouraging results; and the entire community will wait with anxiety for news of the recovery of Dr. Peairs.
Resolutions of Condolence: Whereas, it has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from our midst by death, our neighbor Patrick McAllister, therefore be it Resolved, that by his death Cherokee Camp, No. 231, M.W.A. has lost a faithful neighbor, who was ever ready and willing to aid us by his work while among us.
Resolved, that our Camp tender the bereaved wife and child their sincere sympathy in this hour of their sorrow and that our charter be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days as a further token of our esteem.
Resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon the records of this Camp; also a copy be given the Modern Woodmen and Morris papers for publication, and a copy be presented to the bereaved family.
“We cannot tell who next may fall, Beneath His chastening rod; One must be just, so let us all, Prepare to meet our God.”

Dibell-Carroll Wedding
Charles Dibell, son of G.E. Dibell who lives on a farm south of the river, was Monday wedded to Miss Jennie Carroll at the residence of the groom’s brother at Streator. Both the contracting parties were raised in Morris and are well known in this section. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Carroll. Mr. and Mrs. Dibell live south of the river on a farm near that of the groom’s parents; and the Herald joins in congratulations for their welfare and happiness.
