A brief but decidedly interesting ro-
nance was brought to sufficiently sat
iSfaetory finale Yesterday evening by
the marriage at the residence of Mrs. j.
j. Deleyan. on Wood street, of Walter
ID. Stead, of Detroit, to Miss Amelia
White, daughter of highly respected
and wealthy farmer of OSceoia county,
Iowa. The story of the courtship lead
ing up to yesterdays ceremony is an UNI
usual one. The bride was one of four
sisters who resided on the farm with
their parents when not attending high
school in Sioux City. Each of the sis
tiers graduated from that Institution,
the last to do so being the fair Amelia,
who completed her education six months
ago. The White girls are known as the
handSomest in the county, and it
degree heireSSeS. The oldest of the
girls, now the Mrs. Delevan referred to
above and in whose house the marriage
of yesterday occurred, was the first to
leave the old farm and become wife,
which she did with the consent and ap-
prevail of the old folks. With Amelia,
however, things are little different.
About a year ago there found its way
into the white farm house copy of a
Chicago matrimonial paper, and In a
spirit of fun the fair Amelia answered
an advertisement appearing in its
columns. An answer was received by
her in turn, her correspond
ent proving to be Walter d.
Stead, commercial traveller, en-
ployed by Beggs & De Witt, the whole
sale druggists of Chicago. Suisse
quently photographs were exchanged,
and the young people set up firSt-claSS
mutual admiration and correspondence
society. 1t was at last arranged that
while Miss White was in Sioux City at
school Stead should visit her there.
This he did, and the result was clan
months. until the young lady Informed
her parents of the affair and asked their
consent to a union, which was promptly
refused. Mr.. Stead visited the
farm and produced the most
unexceptionable credentials, which
however, the irate Farmer White re-
fused to examine and ordered the young
man off the premises. Matters at last
became desperate with the lovers, and
III their despair they applied to Mrs.
Delevan for assistance. That lady,
having satisfied herself of the worthi-
ness of the sutton for her sisters hand,
determined to aid the couple in the
conSummatIon of their desires and in
vited Amelia to visit her in st. Paul.
Mr.. Stead arrived only few hours later
than his lady love, and for several
days the lovers revelled i'll absolute
possession of Mr.. Delevan's front par
lor. All this time the most rapid sort
of work was going on in the cOhstruc-
ton of wedding trosseau, and yester-
day morning at 10 o'clock. in the pres
ence of few friends of the bride and
groom, the marriage ceremony was per-
formed A telegram announcing the
marriage and asking his blessing was
dispatched to Papa White. and In the
meantime the young couple have gone
to Detroit, where the parents of the
groom reside. Mr.. Stead is one of the
best known travelling men on the road,
and his marriage under circumstances
SO romantic will be no less surprise to
his friends than will Mrs. Stead's sud-
den leave taking of her former girl as
sociates to them and her parents.
The Minneapolis police officials last
night declared they knew nothing
whatever OF the case, and the informa-
ton was received at an hour too late to
make any extended inquiries into the
whereabouts of "Big ALT"
