MARRIED IN HASTE.
DICKINSON GIRL Welded AT 80
NILES AN HOUR.
Miss Rebecca Wilson, a Former Teach
er Of this County and Resident Of
Enterprise, Has Unique Exps'
rience- An Odd Wedding

A former Dickinson county girl,
Miss Rebecca Wilson, who taught
school in this county and also taught
music at Enterprise, was married in
a decidedly unique manner this week,
on a Missouri Pacific train between
Cofeyville and Conway Springs. The
groom was I. 7. McGannon, engineer
Of the same train, and popular rail
road man.
A party consisting Of Miss Wilson,
the bride, Rev. z. +. Robertson, pas
tor Of the Baptist church, and James
NJ. Tull, engineer between Coffeyville
and Ossawatomie, boarded the west
bound train at l;l5 p. M. at Cotfey-
vile for Deering. On arriving at
that point Mr.. Tull continued his
journey to Caney, and there relieved
Mr.. McGannon Of his position as en-
gineer Of the east bound passenger
train. Mr.. McGannon then donned
his wedding suit, and in short time
arrived at Deering and invited the lit
tie party which was anxiously await
ing his coming to step aboard and
witness the ceremony. As the train
pulled out Of the yards Rev. Robert
son announced to the interested pas
sengers that he was there for the pur-
pose Of performing the ceremony
which bound together in the holy
bonds Of matrmony Mr.. Thomas I.
McGannon and Miss Rebecca Wilson.
He then pronounced the words that
made them man and wife, and offered
short prayer. To say that the pas
sengers were surprised would be to
put it very mildly. Everyone en-
joyed the situation to the fullest ex-
tent, from the stalwart conductor to
the colored porter who grinned his
appreciation from the front door Of
the coach, and nodded his approval
from time to time as the ceremony
progressed. Such an event as an en-
gineer being married on his own train
is seldom witnessed, and Rev. Robert
son says it was the first couple he
ever Joined together on the run.
The bride is a sister Of Mrs. Charles
Kubach Of this city and has been
bookkeeper and manager Of the Ire
mont hotel in Coffeyville for some
time. She is popular and attractive
lady and deserves the good wishes
that will be expressed for her happi-
ness.

never mind. This is what he says
for the latter part of the month The
storm period 10Th to 25th is precisely
coincident with the center of the We
nus period, both being central on the
22d, with moon at first quarter. AT
this period, 10Th to 25th, the widest
extremes Of winter warmth and cold
may be expected. Regular thun-
der storms with high tempera-
ture, hail and violent winds need not

blizzards and intense cold following
within a few hours. The last four
days Of the month will be reaction
ary storm period. 1t will grow
warmer ending in storms turning to
