    3. HOWARD, KREIGER, TEITER "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, April 27, 1899 MARRIED IN A CARRIAGE Abe KREIGER, yard master for the Heim Brewing company, was married yesterday in a hack to Miss TEITER of 2512 Front street. The ceremony took place just across the Kansas line on Nineteenth street, the couple standing up in the hack, while a clergyman from Armourdale tied the knot. The hackman, Frank HOWARD, from Carlat's barn at Third and Main streets, was the witness. It was the intention of Mr. KREIGER and Miss TEITER to have been married at the home of a friend at Seventeenth and Wyoming streets. KREIGER procured the license across the {state} line, however, and after all of the arrangements had been made, the preacher, who had been summoned from Armourdale, discovered the license called for a service in Kansas and refused to perform the ceremony on this side {Missouri}. The wedding party then adjourned to the hack, and in company with the preacher, was driven across the {state} line, where the brief words were said which made the yardmaster and his sweetheart man and wife. They were then driven to Mrs. KREIGER's home, on Front street. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

    3. "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, April 27, 1899 IMBIBE AND FEAR NOT. Since the present smallpox scare, the physicians have been frequently appealed to by frightened individuals for some preventive for the disease. In most instances vaccination was resorted to, and the arms of hundreds of school children were bared to the virus points, but for older persons the doctors have a much more agreeable safeguard. One of the most prominent physicians in the city says that there is no better way of avoiding the disease than by the absorption of plenty of good corn juice, and yesterday there was a noticeable demand for jugs at the crockery establishments, and the joints did a thriving business. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this recommendation but I'd appreciate knowing if you find corn juice helpful.) :) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
