Many old time Idahoans living in
the great Snake River valley cherish
pleasing recollections of John q.
Fleming. For many months past he
has been a resident of Wausau, Wis
consin. The latest intelligence we
have of him is from the Merrill, Wis
consin, Advocate.
That paper gives the surprise that
MIR. Fleming, the modest, temperate,
economical man that he was, has
grown almost suddenly extrayagant
and become passionately fond of
champagne. He likes the Wisconsin
vintage and for months past has
been under its influence every day,
so much so that the most casual OBJ
server would notice it. What won
derful surprise to his old Idaho ac-
quaintances. Think of it: John Flem-
ing given to champagne with that
fondness which viii prevent his return
to Idaho. Well may Rube Dunn won
der how it all happened, as his fingers
itch to open correspondence with Mr..
Fleming with view of making an in
vestment himself in Wisconsin vine
yard.
But this is what the Advocate says:
aLast Tuesday afternoon in the pres
ence OF friends and relatives at the
palatial residence of the bride, in this
city. occurred the marriage of Mrs.
Alice g. Champagne to MIR. John r.
Fleming, of Wausau.
The time for the ceremony was at
two o'clock and at precisely that hour
Mrs. A. L. Heilman touched the fin-
gerboard OF the piano and as the first
strains OF Mendelshon's wedding
march vibrated through the rooms, the
bridal party descended the stairs and
entered the large and spacious parlor,
where the ceremony was to be held.
The bridal party took their position
at the open window leading from the
parlor to the conservatory, the guests
forming a semi-circle. The beautiful
wedding service of the Presbyterian
church was used. The ceremony over,
cordial and hearty congratulations
followed, after which the guests re
paired to the handsomely decorated
dining room where an elaborate and
dainty wedding dinner was served.
The tables were decorated with chrys-
anthemums, and were very pretty.
The dinner was served in courses and
about an hour and a half was taken
up and ample justice was done the
tempting viands.
The marriage corner was in the
open window leading from the parlor
into the conservatory and was most
beautifully decorated with smilax and
chrysanthemums. The parlor was dec
GRATED the same and In addition on
one side was canoe filed with flow
ers, and on the mantle piece and fire
place were exquisite plants and ferns.
On the whole shone the electric lights
with which the residence was lighted.
During the dinner hour, Mrs. A. l..
Heilman rendered some very sweet
music on the piano and Messrs Allyn
j. Coon and Fred Heath several mum.
bers on the mandolin and guitar.
The bride was attired in hand
: some shell white Satin de Almo dress
and looked the picture of health and
: happiness. She wore diamonds and
brides roses.
The groom was attired in full even
ing dress.
The bride is too we'll known to oul
! readers as lady of loving kindness
l. and charming disposition for us II
: add anything TO her goodness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fleming were the re
: cipients of a great many beautiful and
: costly presents"
And that's the way Mr. Fleming
was overcome with Champagne.
