p M, Wednesday, June 10, 1898, Mr..
| Thomas E. Harris and Miss Emma
Brooks, Rev. Hopkins, of Pella, Oil

The wedding was one of the pretti-
est of the season. The home was
elaborately and beautifully decorated
with roses and orange blossoms. a
large company of friends and relatives
witnessed the service that linked the
two lives together 1t was brief but
impressive. Congratulations and well
wishes having been expressed, the
guests were seated to an elaborate
wedding supper. The bride is much
liked in large circle of friends and is
popular with all who know her. She
will rule the new home with a dignity
and grace that cannot fail to bring
happiness. Mr.. Harris is young man
well and highly respected. The pride
never looked prettier than when she
stood up to give herself and name
away. Her costume was beautiful
creation of white oIgandie over blue
silk, trimmed with Valenciennes lace,
and she wore orange blossoms and
carried boquet of orange blossoms.
The groom was in perfect contrast in
his black suit. The guests from
abroad were; Mr.. and Mrs. A. L.
Bransom, of Trinidad, Colo, sister
of the bride; Mr.. and Mrs Il. Evans,
of Avery, sister of the groom: Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. Brooks and j. H. Harrison,

smuggled in files, saws, false whiskers,
ETC., which the prisoners secreted in
their cells. The sheriff had been
giving them the privilege of the prom
enade outside the cells and walked
right in ON them while they were en-
gagged in saving the iron bars of the
outside windows. He ordered them
back into their cells where they are
likely to remain the rest of the sum-
mer. Since their break for liberty
was frustrated they have become
most troublesome and abusive, shout
