CUPID's GROWN.
Happily Placed at the Union OF Frank
Keller and May Randolph.


nuptials of Frank Keller and May
Randolph. By o'clock alarge number
of the friends and relatives of the con-
tracing parties had assembled st the |
suburban home of the brides parents,
south of the city. A joyous party had |
gathered TO witness the always interest |
ing ceremony that unites an esteemed |
couple and completes the beginning of |
that happiness which harmony and love
must render perpetual.
All eyes were attentive as the beautiful
notes of the ever appropriate Mendels-
sohn's wedding march. under the excel
lent execution of Miss Anna Goddard,
filed The room as the bride and groom
entered The latter was dressed in the
style and suit usual TO the occasion, and
leaning upon his arm the happy bride
was most tastefully arrayed in cream col
ored nuns yelling, cut low in neck, with
panier, polonais and double box pleied
skirt, the front of white Spanish lace;
bunch of natural flowers, heliotropes
and cornation pinks, at her belt
and the entire absence of jewelry rem
dered her attire one of charming sim
plicity In the brief and impressive
manner peculiar to Rev. DR.. 'Cordley,
who officiated, the VOWS were sealed
whereupon the groom kissed the BRIDE
and both were Immediately surrounded
by the best congratulations Of all the
favored guests. The boys were not out
done in their fervent manner of show
ing their pleasure at the contamination
| of the devoted courtship of their two
| friends, and We'd with the other sex in
showering their attentions.
Frank Keeler is we'll known and liked
by all his acquaintance, has lived here
for dozen years and is at present in
the employ of the Missouri Pacific rail
road at this point, and were he not one
of the best of young men, he would be
unworthy of the most estimable young
lady who is now his wife. May Ran
dolph is Kansas girl, and We do Kansas
proud in saying so and ourselves in re-
cording the fact. She was born in
Lyon county few rods south
of Emporia. The daughter of our
esteemed citizen, J. V. Randolph,
whose was the first wedding
in Emporia, on December 90, 1859,
she is lady whose excellent qualities
of head and heart will ever prove a
source of pride and pleasure to the for
tunate gentleman TO whom she will be
an invaluable helpmete and an unswerv-
ing friend and companion.
After the event of the evening, the
time was pleasantly spent In a social
way, the votaries of Terpsichore joining
in the popular pastime. Nothing occa-
stoned more expressions of delight than
were brought out by the handsome dis
J play OF presents, whose worth, use and
appropriateness were the theme of uni
: versal mention. In fact, nothing pre-
: sented to the bride was duplicated, save
the kisses of the gallant ad
r mirers, and as they can never be re
} placed they were doubtless duly appre
ciated. The gifts were disposed to view
in the reception and adjoining rooms
and the taste of the donors certainl!
merits the highest compliment. Gu
