WEDDING BELLS.

A very pretty wedding was that of
DR.. Henry Williams McIntire and
Miss Laura Elizabeth Klein, at high
noon Tuesday at ST. Johns Episcopal
church. The interior of the church
was beautifully decorated with cut
flowers and plants, among the former
of which full blown water lilies form
ed a CONSPICUOUS part. The
front portion of the church
was cut off by white ribbon,
and reserved for the relatives and a
few of the immediate friends of the
family. The ushers were B. Frank
Pay and E. Fraser Soaring, and fully
two hundred invited guests were
seated, filling the church to nearly
its capacity.
At promptly twelve o'clock Prof.
Dentinger started the impressive
Mendelssohn wedding march, and
to this stately music the
bridal party entered, the bride
resting upon the arm of her father.
The uSherS parted at the head of the
aisle and retained their positions
there until after the ceremony, while
the bride and groom, accompanied by
the brides father, advanced to the
altar, before which stood Rev. A. r..
Taylor. The regular marriage office
was recited by the rector, while the
low notes of the organ fioated through
the building.
The bride was becomingly and
tastefully dressed in white corded
silk, cut decolette with shiffon trim
mings, and she carried bouquet Of
white carnations. AS usual with day
time weddings there were no brides
maids, nor was the occasion full dress.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
the wedding party, with some thirty
friends and relatives, repaired
to the Clifton House, where
a reception followed in one of
the private parlors. After this,
the company sat down to an elaborate
and well prepared dinner, to which all
did ample justice. During this meal
and the social occasion following, Mrs.
Made Cleveland Berry rendered the
following excellent program on the
piano, which was fully appreciated.

The bride and groom took the 2:56
p. m. train on the Omaha road for ST..
Paul, and it is their intention to go
down the Mississippi river by boat to
Iowa, where they will visit relatives,
and will return in about two weeks.
On their return they will take up their
residence temporarily at the Clifton
House until the Security block is COM
pleted, where they will have corner
suite of rooms. The destination
of the party was kept a secret, but the
young people present were determined
not to lose the opportunity to give DR..
and Mrs. McIntire proper ''send-off'
with rice and old shoes, SO they Sc
cured two hacks and followed them
up. 4 round about course was taken,
through alleys and around blocks, but
the pursurers could not be thrown off
the track and finally caught them
after the train had come in.
Among the guests from abroad were
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry McIntire and Jes-
sic McIntire, of Red Wing, parents
and brother of the groom, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Woodrus, of Red Wing, close
friends of the groom. The parlors
and halls of the Clifton House were
handsomely decorated with green's
and flowers.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. G. J. Klein, and is one of
the best known and most beloved
daughters of Mankato. Her many
attractive characteristics have made
her numerous friends. The groom
has resided in this city for several
years, having come from Red Wing,
and has already established large
and growing dental practice. He has
a host of friends in this city and else
where. The FREE PRESS joins their
other friends in wishing DR.. and Mrs.
Mclntire a long and prosperous life,
filled with the choicest blessings.
