A GORGEOUS WEDDING.

OuC vi ftiiC niOet DIiIituut iiui-
riage ceremonies within the history
of the city took place Thursday
evening at the residence of the
brides parents, when Miss kittie
Van Ransaeller and Mr.. OToole
Jones were united in the holy bonds
of matrimony. 1t was scene of
glitter and gold, resplendent with
true love, and circus spangles. and
floral arches, and lascivious young
cupids, and wedding marches, and
''short order lunches" such as the
citizens of Baxter Springs seldom
have an opportunity of beholding.
The bride and groom were elabor-
ately gotten up for the occasion
and attracted considerable atten-
tion when they pranced in under
the folding doors of the summer
kitchen, but the groomsman, Mr..
McKelly O'Carmichael, and the
bridesmaid, Miss Becky Bartlett, in
their luxurious Worth gowns worth
$50 and Kane's So earrings, were
the attraction of the evening. Chief
Justice English .of the Superior
Court of the City of Baxter Springs
performed or worked off the i'm
pressive marriage ceremony in ac-
cordance with the city ordinances
made and in such cases provided,
in his usual felicitous manner.
a grand march or rush then took
place for the supper table where a
superb collation. had been prepared
under the supervision of that prince
of caterers. Ed. Seaman. 1t is I'M
necessary to dwell on the suppe".
Suffice 1t to say the cake alone cost
a dollar and quarter and there
were three kinds of pies. Tom

the best he ever sat down to.
