MISS McMAHAN,S DAEArH.

All that was mortal of Miss Mabelle
McMahan was laid to rest yesterday after
noon at o'clock. The funeral was pri-
vate, owing to the nature of the disease
which caused her death, which was diph-
therra. None but the family attended,
although hundreds of friends expressed a
desire to participate in it notwithstanding
the danger There is something sad about
Miss McMahan's death. A week ago she
was in the full bloom OF womanhood, en-
joying the most perfect health; today she
is seelping her last sleep, lying in the cold
and silent grave, all of which illustrates
the uncertainty of human life She was
young lady beloved and esteemed by all
who knew her and had hosts of friends
among the young people of the city all of
whom will deeply deplore her untimely
end.
Miss McMahan was born in Union coun-
ty, Indiana, Jan. 12, 1870 While young
she moved with her parents to Shawnee
county, Kansas and moved from that
place to Wichita six years ago. She was
member of the South Emporia NJ T.
church, and was an exemplary Christian
young lady; being Particularly devoted to
the cause of charity and good works.

miring friends of the contracting parties.
Promptly at O'Clock the bride and groom
stepped into the parlor, when the beauti-
full ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal
church was performed by the Rev. j. r.
AIillsap. The happy couple then received
the hearty congratulations of all present.
An elegant supper was then served and
at "A reasonable hour the guests began to
depart, leaving many substantial evidences
of the estimation in which these two
young people are held by their friends in a
number of valuable and useful gifts.
