Senator Plumb At Topeka.

At the close of Governor st. Johns
welcoming addEsssto The old veterans at
Topeka on the 18th, he introduced
Senator Plumb, who had been assigned
the duty of replying for the soldiers
He was welcomed by three hearty cheers.
Cheers for st. JOHN, President Garfield
and Generals Grant, Sherman, Sheridan
and Hancock followed. In speaking
of the Senator's address the Kansas City
Journal says: when the applause had
subsidized, Senator Plumb advanced to the
front, and for half an hour held the audi
ence spell-bound in an address of match
less eloquence. No report can
do the orator the mead of praise
that was justly his due. The maj
esty of the theme caught and
kIndled and set aflame The audience in
patriotic exultation and melted them in
sympathy into one, until 1t seemed that
speaker and nearer were swayed by an
emotion more than human, and the mag
nificent procession of sentences that
leapt from heart fired by the inspira-
ton of the hour glowed with fervor
and beauty that seemed divine. At the
conclusion of the speech the audience
seemed wild with delight, and after
cheering until they were hoarse found
relief in singing, old John Brown"

Tha TiaThat RIn,l.

The marriage of r. E. Reynolds, en-
pleyed in the Central Land and Loan
Office, and Miss Ruth A. Hawk was sol
emnized Thursday in the presence of
small party of friends, by Rev. DIR.
Cordley, at the residence of the bride, on
Rural street
For some days past operations look
ing to the establishment of household
gods at u neat cottage on Congress street
had attracted the attention of the neigh
bors in its vicinity, and as Mr.. Reynolds
seemed TO be the prime mover in the
undertaking the suspicion had filtered
into the minds of the careful observer of
his movements that business of serious
character was under consideration.
This conjecture was justified when a
grocer's delivery wagon drew up to the
place Thursday morning, and the driver
deposited full line of provisions at the
kitchen door.
The sequel to the whole affair devel.
oped last evening in the celebration OF
the nuptials above noted, which made
man and wife two of the most estimable
young people of our city. Many valuable
tokens of esteem were rendered to the
newly welded pair, among which full
line oftable cutlery, the gift of the Central
Land and Loan Office, deserves special
mention. After bountiful supper and
a most delightful evening with theil
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds adjourn
ed to their new home, where everything
was in the most complete order, even to
the facilities for preparing breakfast
Friday morning. We congratulate the
young couple upon their mutual good
fortune and join with hosts of friends
in wishing them all the blessednes:
which happy marriage inevitably en-

Robb.rv Al the Indiana Hou.a.

Saturday morning, at little after 3
O'Clock, Thos. Buckingham, foreman st
the Santa Fe yard, was awakened from
sleep by noise in his room at the In
diana House, located on Union street,
near the railroad. He raised up and
asked "whose's there" just in time to
see man retreating from the apartment
with his vest, containing watch valued
at $50. Mr.. Buckingham rose and
starting in pursuit OF the thief,
aroused the household, who joined
in the search for the nocturnal
intruder. But he and some pals
by whom he was evidently as
sisted, made good their escape,
and a canvass of the premises
revealed the fact that a ladder
leading TO one of the upstairs windows,
on the south side of the house, had adj
mitted the parties, who, in addition 10
the booty above named. succeeded in
securing $50 belonging TO Benjamin
Trueax, and $23 belonging to Henry
Hamilton, who were sleeping in another
room. There is no clue TO the peFpe-
traitors of this bold robbery.
