character of most of the leaders, the Gus

ness to the fact that this enterprise had
a missionary impulse and clear Chris
tian complexion. One of the four men TO

Archbishop of Canterbury and three other
bishops besides the dean OF Westmin-
ster and seven other clergymen.

A new political party that is to be ma
tional in character was born in Omaha last
night. 1t was brought forth at the camp
meeting held at Twenty fifth and Mander-
son streets and was christened the United
Christian party. w. r. Benkert of Dayen-
port, Ia. is the chief sponsor assisted by
]. f. r. Leonard of Ainsworth and Charles
Meyers of Parkwood, both of Iowa A meet
ing of the representatives of the party will
be held at Washington, Ia, on November

work will be taken up and considered.
The purpose of the United Christian party
is to work in the name OF Jesus Christ at the
ballot box, or at least that is the explana-
tion given by Mr.. Benkert. The code of
principles has nothing to do with finances or
the tariff. 1t will favor direct legislation
by the people and will be governed by the
standard, What would Jesus do?'
Mr., Benkert says the party will go before
the voters in 1899 and will be a power in
being benefit to the common people. Dis
cussing political parties, he said: There
are two parties, the Christians and the Dew
lis. We propose to organize the Christians
party and will win 1t the polls"

LOVE LAUGHS AT PARENTS
May Galloway of Atlantic Bound to
Wed the Man of Her Choice De-
spite Her Fathers Wrath.

The troubled courtship of Ray White and
Miss May Galloway of Atlantic Ia, ended
in a happy marriage here yesterday. Only
the brides sister and II. ]. Anderson of
Atlantic were present. Rev. C. r. Allen os
the Beth Eden Baptist church tied the knot.
Scarce year ago Ray White returned 10
Atlantic. For a time he lived on his
fathers farm near the town. But soon he
purchased a third interest in the Atortfr
Business college and became the instructor
in shorthand. 1t was while teaching tina. n
met pretty May Galloway. He at once fell
in love with her. She returned his love, but
her parents objected They favored veal
thy young farmer This was in the fall
The neighbors took an interest in the af-
fair and May Galloway and her lovers were
the favorite topic at sewing circles and
sociables. Some espoused Whites suit and
others the farmers. All winter the rival
schemed, White aided by his friends, the
farmer by Mr. and Mrs. Galloway. Lac
in the spring White triumphed and the en-
gagement was announced The father
stormed and the mother wept, but all to
no purpose. At length they forbade their
daughter seeing White.
So the summer wore away At clandes-
tine meetings the lovers hemoaned their
fate Yet May was unwilling to yield to
Whites entreates TO be married, hoping to
win her fathers consent.
Two weeks ago matters came to a head
The Callaways said that If May did not
marry the farmer she must support herself
In anger she left their home and went to
her sister
Then White asserted himself. He said they
must be married. No minister in town cared
to incur the Calaways' hatred by marrying
them, so they decided to visit the exposi-
ron.
Early yesterday morning they went to tho
station. The sister had told her mother of
the pairs intentions, and on the way to the
station Mrs Galloway met May and told her
that II she married White she need never
cross her threshold again. This did not deter
her and at 1880 they stepped off the Des
Moines and Omaha express at the union sta
tion. Before 1 O'Clock they were man and
wife.
They will go through the exposition today
and at 1880 will start for home. A big re-
ception will then be given them by the
grooms father, for they are both popular
and have hosts of friends.

TopEkANs HAVE REAL GOOD TIME
Circulate About the Grounds and
EniON ThemscINes HnselN.


The people who came up from Topeka
Kan, to visit the exposition made their
presence felt yesterday at every turn Of the
road. There were only 700 of them, but they
circulated around until some people had all
idea that they numbered nearer 1000, 900
In the first place the Boyd cadets, forty fiv,
young women, dressed in blue and carrying
army rifles and canteens, marched out t.
the grounds following their drum corps
They gave a drill on the Plaza and another
over on the main court, after which thes
marched around the Midway and back to the
Plaza, where they drilled again. After tina;
they rested for a couple of hours, when
they went at it again and from then untl
after dark they were marching or drilling
being applauded over and over again
Just after the Boyd cadets reached thu
grounds, Miss Anna Rose, queen of the Kar-
nival knights of Topeka, and her suite, made
up of courtiers and ladies of the court
reached the ground. They visited most ol
the main buildings, stopping FOR a brief
period at the Hawaiian exhibit, where she
met Commissioner Shingle, and then went
to Markets, where she and her party
lunched During the afternoon Miss Rose
held a reception at the Kansas buildins
where she met large number of the Omaha
people and the Kansas pepoe who are In
the city. After the reception she visited
a number of the buildings on the main court
and later on occupied a reserved seat al
the Indian dances.
While Miss Rose enjoys the experience
she is growing little bit tired of being &
queen and says she prefers the routine OF
everyday life to being a queen without a
crown or throne.
