of st. Paul, and Miss Bette Klaus OF
jamestown. Both are we'll known to all
residents Of Jamestown, in addition to
an extended circle of acquaintances in
the northwest. The bride is niece of
Anton Klaus, the founder of the. city,
who is one OF the most enterprisinR Of
the early settlers Of the state; sister of
Postmaster Chas. Klaus, and q young
lady of many graces of character, and
personally loved by her friends and ad-
mlred by all who know her, in her own
right. She has resided here: the greater
part of the time since 1898, spending q
portion OF recent years in Red Wing,
Mimi, and St. Paul.
The groom, also former resident Of
jamestown, has been for the past eleven
years prominent business man of st..
Paul, a member Of the G gar maDufactur-
ing firm OF Hart & Murphy, we'll known
from the Twin cities to the coast. He is
also popular personal favorite, having
large acquaintance in half dozen
states, and counting steadfast friends by
the many score wherever business or
other association has been formed. The
union of such q worthy couple for q
life partnership is peculiarly appropriate,
and the happy auspices under, which the
same occurs adds to the promise in store
for them.
The wedding itself was devoid o: any
display or unnecessary show. The affair
wasof a private and family character,
the ceremony witnessed only by few Of
the most intimate friends of the princi-
pals, besides the immediate relatives of
both. The services were performed by
Rev. Father Connolly, and during inter
walls of the ceremony special music was
rendered.
The bride was attired IN an elegant
and stylish travelling costume of mottled
Bengaiine, with hat and gloves to match.
The travelling hat was composed of satin
braid and velvet, trimmed with brown
ribbon and purple violets. There were
no bridesmaids or groomsmen.
At theconclusien Of the ceremony
the bridal party returned to the Glad
stone hotel where light breakfast
awaited them. They spent the day
quietly receiving the congratulations
and best wishes Of friends. In the after
noon q sumptuous dinner was served at
the hotel for the guests and participants
in the affair.
The bridal couple leave tomorrow on
the overland train for an extended tour
of the Pacific coast, visiting Seattle,
Portland, Tacoma, SanFrancisco and
returning by way of Los Angeles, and
the Southern Pacific, intending to be
absent month or more. They will re-
side ia St. Paul as their future home.
1t is the sincere wish of all that the

the happiness that comes from mutual
and partaken bliss"
