the altar Miss Fannie Reynolds.
About eighteen months ago Mrs. Kate
Mundi sought and obtained divorce from
her husband, Cons,antins Mundi, on the
grounds Of dunkenne-s and cruel treat
ment. Since then until recently they have
been strangers, but the hearts that once
truly love never forget, 81 when Con.

The following notice from the Clarion,
Pennsylvania Democrat of August 18th
will be read with interest by
the many friends in this
city j. c. Hamm, who graduated from
the State Normal last June with dis
tInguished honor:
On Thursday evening, August 10th, a
very pleasant affair took place at the
residence of Mrs. n. Campbell, of Leath-
erwood. the occasion being the mar.
riage of her only daughter, Miss Lizzie,
to Mr. j. c. Hamm, OF Humboldt, Kan
sas. The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. j. c. Evans. of The Reformed
church, Curlisville, Pa. PunctualIy st
half past three O'Clock, while the organ
was pealiug forth the glad strains Of a
wedding march, the young couple en-
tered the tastefully decorated parlor of
the old honest ad, where, in the pres
ence of a number of invited guests, they
took upon themselves the solemn VOWS
that bind them together for life Then
followed the congratulations of the fam.
lily and friends, and many earnest wishes
that the newly-married pair might have
happy and prosperous voyage on the
matrimonial sea. Presently all were
summoned 10 the dining room, where
merry jest and bright repariee added
Zest 10 q most bountiful repast. Then
later the BEinkertOn brass band arrived
and serenaded the happy pair with some
very excellent selections. Altogether
the day WAS most enjoyable one, and

talent of the party for DING stupid things at
the most opportune nomeat soE the Republi-
can party 10 benefit by then. has displayed
itself at Emporia in = manner which makes
the previous plumbers Ol the party seem ike
the choicest inspirations of wisdom.
platform OF ..slosh'' has been adopted;
the most popular man in the party has been
driven to decline the gubernatorial nom
inatlon with disgust he dots not at
tempt TO conceal; and the mOAt unpopular
politician in the party is placed, like nag
OF distress, at the head Of the ticket. For the
ito Democratsl painful details reference is
made to the telegraPhic dispatches. The
whole sad story Is there, including the melan-
choly zyOwal OF tine gubernatorial nominee
that he has remained = sorI-headed mOurner
and maleontent during the twenty-one years
which have brought glory, freedom and pros
perity to his country and his state.
The whole Emporia business was dismal
failure; the sound and fury, rs usual, signi-
fies nothing. Unpopularity heads the ticket
and nOnentity completes il. The friends of
the family will attend the funeral without
further invitation
