A Measuring Wheel.

The rotary measuring instrument will

ment it takes up very little room. 1t will
do the work of either rule or measuring
tape and will measure with accuracy frac-

and by its use the necessity of employing
two persons to measure is avoided. Be-
sides it is invaluable in measuring curved
lines. 10 measure any object it is simply
necessary to run the instrument over the

PRETTY WEDDING.
The Keysor--Flittie NuptiaIs
Tuesday Evening.
Two of Mankato's Popular Young PEG.
pie United in the Bonds of
MatrimoDy.

A very pretty wedding occurred at
the home of Capt. and Mrs. Clark
Keysor Tuesday, on North Broad
street, when their daughter, Miss
Elizabeth, was united in marriage
with Mr.. Jean A. Flittie. The interior
or the residence was tastefully dec.
grated with fall flowers. The guests,
who numbered about thirty, were in-
innate friends of the family. The
ceremony was performed at eight
o'clock, by Rev. Geo. Fl. Davis, rector
Of St. Johns Episcopal church, and
the full Episcopal service was follow
ed. The bride and groom were un-
attended.
Following the ceremony, delicious
refreshments were served. The bridal
couple received the congratulations
and best wishes of all present, and
were accompanied to the depot by
the entire company, who gave them
an appropriate send off on the train,
with rice and other usual accom-
paniaments. Mr.. ard Mrs. Flittie
left for Omaha, where they will visit
the brides brother, Judge Keysor,
and attend the exposition. They
will return in about two weeks and
will be at hom on Poplar street after
Nov. 18th.
The brides dress was check green
and white silk. trimmed with chiffon,
satin and velvet, and she carried
beautiful bouquet of brides roses.
Her going away gown was a new blue,
tailor made.
The BRIDE received a number of
handsome and useful gifts-tokens Of
the esteem in which she is held. No
table among these was one from her
Masonic friends.
Mrs. Flute graduated from the
Normal school in 1889, and taught
one year at Worthington, and the re-
naming time since then in the Union
and Pleasant Grove schools in this
city. She was one Of the most sue
cessful teachers that the schools have
had. She is favorite Of large cir
Gle OF friends. Mr.. Flittie graduated
from the Normal in 1888 and from the
State University four year later. He
has practiced law in Mankato for
several years, and was recently ap-
pointed by Judge Lochren, Of the
United States court, as referee in
bankruptcy for the Blue Earth county
district, comprising a number of
counties. Heis young man OF ability,
and an active and successful future
doubtless awaits him in his profession.
Only good can be said of him, and his
popularity is only limited by his ac-
quaintance. The best wishes of all
will accompany Mr.. and Mrs. Flittie
through life.
