At the residence of the bishop of
Jamestown, Tuesday, February 26, at
$50 a. M, occurred one Of the pleasant
est weddings in the history of the city,
says the Jamestown Alert. The marriage
ceremony united in wedlock Mr.. Dennis
A. Murphy of St. Paul, and MISS Beftie
Klaus of Jamestown. Both are well
known to all residents of Jamestown, in
addition to an extended circle of acqusint-
ances in the northwest. The bride is
niece Of Anton Klaus, the founder of the
city, who is one of tho most enterprising
Of the early settlers of the state; sister
of Postmaster Chas. Klaus, and young
lady OF many graces of character, and
personally loved by her friends and ad-
mired by all who know her, in her own
right. She has resided here the greater
part of the time since 1892, spending
portion Of recent years in Red Wing,
Mimi, and st. Paul. The groom, also
former resident of jamestown, hag been
for the past eleven years prominent
business man of st. Paul, member of
the cigar manufacturing firm of Hart &
Murphy, we'll known from the Twin cities
to the coast. He is also popular per-
sonal favorite, having large acquaint-
ance in half dozen states, and counting
steadfast friends by the manyscore where
ever business or other association has
been formed. The union of such worthy
couple for life partnership ispeculiarly
appropriate, and the happy auspices un-
der which the same occurs adds to the
promise in store for them. The wedding
itself was devoid Of any display or un-
necessary show. The affair was of pri-
vate and family character, the ceremony
witnessed only By few Of the most in
innate friends Of the principals, besides
the immediate relatives Of both. The
services were performed by Rev. Father
Connolly, and during intervals of the
ceremony special music was rendered.
The bridal couple LETT on the overland
train for an extended tour of the Pacific
coast, visiting Seattle, Portland, Tacoma,
San Francisco and returning by way of
Los Angeles, and the Southern Pacific,
intending to be absent month or more.
They will reside in st. Paul as their fu-
ture home. It is the sincere wish Of all
that the future will disclose the least
Of care, and the most Of pleasure o them,
and that q life companionshp may result
only in the happiness that comes from
mutual and partaken bliss.'' y.
