Event Tonight Promises the Success

Events of u Day.

A quiet wedding ceremony was per-
formed yesterda afternoon at st.
Paups by Rev. John Wright, D. D.,
who Joined together Albert L. TOwle,
of Niobrara, Neb, and Miss Mary Z.
Hill, of Stevens Point, Wis. The two
people arrived from their respective
homes during the day, met by appoint
ment, and without delay proceeded to
ST. Paul's, where DR.. Wright read the
impressive Episcopal ritual which
made them one, in the presence of sew
eral witnesses whom they had never
seen before. This was at o'clock.
Mr.. Towle, who is an attorney by
profession, is a we'll known Nebraskan,
was receiver of the land Office at
O'Neill during HarrisOn's administra-
ton, has been one of the leading Re
publicans in the state Legislature at
Lincoln, and in addition is the prOpri-
etor of the Hubbard hotel at Niobrara,
in Knox county. Nearly eight years
ago he met and fell in love with Miss
Mary 2. Hill, an attractive young
woman who had lost her parents and
who was visiting friends near his
home. In spite of his manifold duties
as attorney, lawmaker and boniface,
Mr.. Towle found time to win the
young woman's heart, and 1t was I'M
derstood that they would be married.
They have corresponded from that
time. and, according to plans made by
letter, Miss Hill came to st. Paul yes
terday afternoon on the Wisconsin
Central train, and was met by Mr..
Towle, who had reached here earlier in
the day via the Omaha, and had Sc
cured a marriage license and notified
the minister. When the deputy city
clerk issued the license for two people
whose homes were so far apart, he
uuiZzed the prospective groom about
romantic marriages, but Mr.. ToWle
gave him little reward for his trouble,
afterWard commenting that the sole
reason the affair had not been celebrat-
ed long before this was owing TO ms
being extraordinarily busy. Mr.. ToWle
seemed not unwilling that the people
at his home should be told at this time
of his marriage, although he thought
there need be no undue haste about 1t.
Mrs. TOwle seemed to enjoy the rather
romantic circumstances surrounding
her marriage to the man who courted
her eight years ago, and eVlhced
childish curiosity as to what manner
Of reception r would be accorded her at
her husbands home. She has sister
living not very far from Stevens Point.
in Portage county, Wis, but no invita-
tions were issued for the interesting
function, so she was not present. The
story of the wedding Will be news TO
some of the friends of both Mr.. and
Mrs Towle, who were not let into the
secret. Mr. Towle will take his bride
home to Nebraska this morning. They
are registered at the Merchants.
