We, meaning wife and self, took in,
on life's way, the pleasure Of the Kellogg
concert given at Minneapolis last Friday
evening. To our uncult,vated under
standing of music it was delight Tar
beyond our anticipation, and to those
who could listen and enjoy with a cul.
tured ear, and critical taste, ii must, in
deed, as the Minneapolis Tribune says.
have been musical revelation. Five
musical stars at one concert is a treat not
often enjoyed. The audience was limited
to the capacity Of the large Academy of
Music, which would accommodate about
1000 persons, every seat being filled, and
chairs occupying every inch of available
space. There were thirteen numbers in
the program. Herr s Liebling, opening
the concert with the, mastery touches of
a genius, in love with his plan o,3and in

almost divinely written strains of music

as he follows the sweetness and rich
floating melody until the singer ceases,
and then he vainly wishes the delicious
memory of the singing and the singer
could linger and abide with him forever.
The concert was a grand and rich treat
throughout, and will long be remem-
bered by that large and enthusiastic au-
dience which filled the audience room
of the Academy OF Music at Minneapolis
last Friday evening.
THE MISUNDERSTANDING the social
events in Austin of this season was the
wedding at the Congregational church
last Wednesday evening, when Alex II.
Loucks and Miss Mary L. Engle were
united in marriage. The church was
beautifully decorated by kind and loving
friends for the occasion. Spanning the
roslrum, was a large arch, bound with
evergreen and trimmed with white flow
ers, from the center of which was sus-
pended The symbolistlc marriage bell.
These with the flowers and other floral dc.
signs, attracted general attention. and was
admired by the many friends who were
hidden to the marriage ceremony. The
ushers were Mcssrs. Geo. Fish, John
Fisher, Luther Wheeler and Eli Steven
son. An orchestra comprised of Miss
Lottie johnson organist, Charlie Wilbour

coursed the sweetest music we have ever
listened to by home talent. At the ap-
pointed time the wedding party entered
TIE church, the bride leaning upon the
arm Of her groomsman, taking the right
aisle, and the bridegroom and brides
t,naid the left aisle, while up the center
aisle walked six sweet li,,le fairies in
white, as bridesmaids, bearing as incense,
their lovely boquets for this new altar
which was now to be erected. The little
misses who were so happily honored
were Susie Basford, Clara Vaudeville,
BERTHE Eugle, Veta West, Goldie Roome
and E,lIel Fleck. There was no co nfu-
sion, each taking their proper place.

forward, and the impressive words were

was very becom,ngly att,red, and whis.
pered compliments for the bridegroom
were not lacking. FROM the church the
ridal party were driven to the home of
the BRIDES parents where the wedding
supper was served and congratulations
received. Mr.. and Mrs. Loucks left on
the night train for the cities Of the north,
expecting to be absent about a week, and
bearing with them the hearty good will
and best wishes of all who know them.
Many useful and very elegant bridal pres
ents were sent in by friends; among
them several pieces of solid silver by Mr..
and Mrs G. w. Taylor of Spring Valley,
marble top bedroom SET by the BRIDES
parents, and an elegant parlor suite by
friends. Other gifts, costly and numer-
Gus, were also added to these, and will
long be cherished as precious mementoes
of the wedding day.
