Two Young People Married ut Probate
Court ParIOrS.

Wednesday evening Mr.. Charles Cam
eron decided to wed Miss Maude Hig-
gins. Miss Higgins was willing and they
both went to the court house to get the
matter fixed up but found that Probate
Judge Haymaker was not in his office.
They did not then know what to do.
While the couple was discussing the
matter, Deputy Sheriff Syl Dunkin drove
up, and when he understood the case he
offered his services to find Judge Hay
maker. This was characteristic of Mr..
Dunkin for he is already to accommodate
people who need any assistance. Accord
ingly he set out to Judge lawmakers
residence. When he reached the house
on North Topeka avenue, he learned from
the children that the judge had gone to
some lecture but it was not known where
the lecture was being given.
Mr.. Dunkin was baff1ed for a while,
but he happened to remember that James
Allison was to speak at the First NJ. E.
church, so he made his way to that
place.
Upon arriving there he caused a search
to be made in the audience. Finally
Judge Haymaker was spied in the crowd
and called out The judge did not know
what was up especially when he saw the
deputy sheriff, but when an explana-
ton was made, he jumped into the buggy
awaiting him and was driven rapidly to
the court house.
When he reached his office It was only
a matter of a few moments until the
young people were man and wife.

music lovers to hear Miss Jetta Grover

Her singing was delightful and a great
surprise to her friends, who knew how
very few months of study Miss Campbell
had had with Mr.. Burritt.
The voice is a high soprano, brilliant
and full in quality. Schubert's ''Hark!
Hark! the Lark" was sung very lightly
and brilliantly, while Scsrlatti's a Milo
Cor in contrast was full, round and
sustained. Miss Campbell is of a dra-
matte temperament and sings hsr arias
with an artistic and thoughtful hterpre-
tation. Her rythm is good and her
enunciation is very highly to be praNed !;
her style is finished and cultured
Mr.. Burritt's remarks at the close of
the recital praising the work of his pu-
Pill and calling to the minds of the guests
that Miss Campbell was only a student
who did not pose as a finished artist
were very graciously received.-Chicago,

Miss Campbell will sing next Wednes-
day evening. October 18th at theAFirst

herself strictly to classical music, but
will sing bright sparkling melodies we ali
