A Young Bride's Confession In the Wan
 ing of the Honeymoon.

Young Brides Confession In the Wan
 ing of the Honeymoon.
 Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sproek- ett had been married nearly three weeks, and they had just returned from their wedding trip. They were supremely happy in each others love, and the honeymoon so far had been 10 them as one long, blissfril dream. Within the next day or two, however, the bride grew slightly depressed in spirits, and an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos session of her The young husband no. tieed the change, but attributed it to fatigue from the recent travels. But his bride grew more nervous and took on such troubled expression that he said so her:
 You have something on your mind, darling, that is troubling you. Tell me what 1t is. ''
 At first she tried to persuade him that he was mistaken. that nothing worried her.
 You are wrong, Charley, dear, " she would say. Really, am not wor. rying over anything am just as happy as can be. '"
 The day following, however, tho young wife wore such troubled loai; that her husband said to her.
 Lucille, you must tell mo what is troubling you. will not be puff off any longer. As your husband have right to know.

VERY PRETTILY UNITED
Miss Cora Bird and MIR. Guy Marshal are
Welded for Life.

Last evening at the Central Church of
Christ one of the pTettiest weddings OF
the new year occurred, in which Miss
Cora Bird, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lew
Bird Of College Hill and Mr.. Guy Emer-
son Marshal. prominent young con-
tractor of this city. were united in the
lasting tie which unites two hearts for
life
At half past seven the bridal party
came slowly into the church TO the we'd
ding march from Mendelssohn and pro-
ceeded 10 the rostrum. where the groom
and mis- best man stood awaiting them,
Rev. Sims standing on the opposite side
Of large arch of evergreens. Here the
wedding ceremony was performed very
beautifully by Rev. Sims. who used a
part Of the beautiful Episcopal service
After the wedding the bridal party re-
paired to the residence of the bride where
the wedding reception was held, full
account Of which may be looked for in

to hear them again. they came promptly
forth and obligingiy favored them with
anC ther selection. This was also true or
the band, which received several en-
cores. Upon one encore the band played
Liberty Bell which in moment set
the audience into strain OF thought
which this bright selection suggests
This was also true of the Spanish air,
la Paloma'' in all its warm, southern
variances, which at once carried the
hearers over into the land or the warm
hearted, intense dark-eyed, bonito senor-
tia. who loves like fire or hates ike
fury.
Mrs. Northrop sang as an encore
Comm Thro' the Rye" This dehghted
her hearers, as did evrey number or the
entire program. The time was marvel
Gus in its perfection, never break nor

them like Sousa's. They were there up

The only thing which marred the en-
tire evening was the action of a dozen or
50 individuals with souls so lnfnltelsmeiy
small, that were il material, the lick tel

laid upon a white sheet OF paper. Some
people have no more idea of the beauty
of line music than a mouse has of the
pleiades, and just after the first few bars
of the last selection are played, snow
their appallingly small importance by
getting up and taking themselves cut,
and by this means managing 10 disturb
the pleasure. not to say the delight, OF
those who can do without cigarette or
a drink for a few moments longer, at
least. It IS puzzle sometimes just why
such people were born important instead
of handsome. rich or most anything else.
1t is needless to say that the concert
was a delightful one. The saying of it

BRIEDENTHAL Is IN DANGER
Jerry simpson Thinks He is Not Sure of
Re-Appointment.

Jerry Simpson passed through New
ton Yesterday and the Newton Republi-
can reporter interviewed him as follows:
simpson has evidently put some very
,iosp thought on the matter Of apDor-
t:onment. as when asked about the
boundaries Of the new districts he took
from his pocket a map CT Kansas ON
which he had very carefully outlined
thc divisions for the new districts.
He did not attempt to conceal his
satisfaction over the fact that all Of the
proposed apportionment bills put Har-
vey county in what will be the new
Eighth district, and so take away from
MS district what has also proven To him
d very Troublesome county. He freely
admitted that Harvey county Is RepUb-
lican beyond any hope of Populist con-
nuest. He admitted that the new Eighth
district would he Of a very uncertain pc
Tt;cal complexion. but asserted that the
rest with the exception OF the hrSt
would he Demo-Pop in their pToclivities.
John W. Breidenthal told a Republi-
can reporter not more than two weeks
ago that his re-appoinment as sid -
hank comm 5ssioner would be made as
soon as his new banking bill had been
enacted into law. Jerry Simpson has
come 20 an entirely different conclusion
and ne said last night that not only was
Rreidenthars re-appointment doubtful.
but that Representative Brown of King
maa county had already been partially
decided upon as his successor. Then
the concressmsn-elect added that
Brown was running this state admins
,ration. anyway. and very broadly
limited that Governor Leedy - afraid 70
take step politically without getting
orders from BTOwn-a statement which
would lead TO the conclusion that things
are not altogether lovely in the Populisl
camp just now.
IN the opinion of the congressman
elect The present Pop Legislature Is sure
u enact some other very radical legisla-
ton before they adjourn. He looks for
one OF Tha most radical OF the proposed
maximum freight rate enactments 10 BE-
passed within week or two. He also
prophesied that the law regulating ne
Kansas City stock yards would amount
10 an annihilation for thar institution.
And there viii be Others as radical, says

WALK In THE MUD
BRIDE AND GROOM CREATE A PRO
FOUND SENSATION.
They Disembark From Missouri Pacific
Train, and Notwithstanding the Fact
That the Streets are in a FearfuIly
Muddy Condition aud the Bride Wears
White Kid Slippers, They Prefer to
Walk Side by Side up to the Office of
Probate Judge Haymzker and the We'd
ding Ceremony is Performed.

They diSembarked from a Missouri
Pacific train and started up Second
street on their way to the court house.
They were certainly going to the court
house, for their appearance spoke the
words bride and groom as loud as II
some one mad shouted it. They were a
peculiar looking couple. The groom was
attired in his best bib and tucker like
he would wear only on the Fourth of
July. His shoes were not shined but
were new as was MS hat. There was an
air of possession about him which indi-
Gated his satisfaction that ne was the
fellow most 20 be envied above all 9TH
ers His hands and collar seemed to he
in the way. The former he carried with
a bent elbow, and the hand hanging at
the other end OF the forearm in much
the same fashion that a frozen dish-rag
droops from nail The other hand he
waved about in an absent sort Of way,
as though he had no especial use for it.
His step was quick and elastic and he
held his head high in the air and walked
along after his bride TO be- as only low
ers do. They get over the disease with
n a month or so after the probate judge
makes the invisible coupling on the side
track of his office, and runs them out
on the main line, minus a couple of
ounces of silver. This gives them an
impetus which land then at the
first section house with an empty tender
and a dead engine.
The bride in this case was quite a
pretty and robust looking girl. She wore
a pair of white kid slippers with high
heels which she did not seem accustcm-
Cd 20. The shoes matched perfectly
with her white clocked stockings. Her
dress was of the most brilliant royal
purple, made up in a very plain style
with deep ruffles around the bottom,
which in itself was very pretty The
waist Was made plain with the latest
style sleeves and all in purple. Her
bonnet was of white and she also wore
veil. Long white mousquetair gloves
completed her attire with the exception
OF A lavender cape which she had
thrown lightly over her shoulders.
The couple attracted considerable at
tention as they waded through the mud
on their Way to the court house, and
the dainty white slippers had received
many a touch of mother earth IN semi
liquid form before they departed from
the city on the way 10 their future home
as happy as it is possible for humanity
in any stage of existence, OF any class
Of society, and in any cline, to ever be.
