litically. He was at that time resi-
dent of Columbus, Ind. The next fact
on record proves one of two things
that history repeats itself, or that the
present day still clings to some Gus
toms Of the past, for as editor he was
appointed postmaster under Filemore's
administration and during that period
he filled the Office of state representa-
tive, fulfilling the same duty for the
state of Indiana that he is today, fifty
one years later, performing for the
state OF Iowa.
In 1851 he made business trip to
Davis county which resulted in
the purchase of tract of land, now
included within the boundary lines OF
West Grove township. Returning in
1853 with his family he settled down
to rural life and for two years was
content to till the soil and reap the
golden grain. But the busy world
could not permit man like Col.
Moore to live quiet farmers life, and

most fashionable Presbyterian house
of worship. Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin,
pastor of the church, performed the
simple ceremony, being assisted by
Rev. H. c. Hayden, pastor of Stone
Memorial church of Cleveland, Ohio,
which was erected by the brides ma
ternal grandfather, the late Amasa
Stone.
Pure white satin, without ornament
or garniture of any kind, formed the
bridal robe of this young woman of
striking beauty and brilliant mind. and
the soft grey crepe de chine gowns of
her two attendants, Miss Alice Hay
and Miss Dorothy Whitney, made q
wonderfully charming effect. The col
lection of jewels bequeathed the bride
by her grandmother is probably the
most magnificent ever possessed by
an American girl of her age, and to
them was added the wedding gift of
VIM. G. Whitney in the shape OF a
gorgeous diamond necklace and pend
ant But the white sheen of her satin
gown was unenhanced by gems of any
kind, which was dictated not only by
the deep mourning of the Hay family,
but carried out the simple tastes of the
bride herself.
There were one thousand invitations
issued to the church, containing the

request Respond to S00-16th Street"
The query which is going the rounds
is, why the request for reply was
included, and the address of the sec
rotary of state given. 1t is presumable
that invitations did not exceed the ca
pacity of the church, and no cards
were issued for the very exclusive
function at the house, the guests Tin
vited verbally or by personal note) in
Guiding only the President and Mrs.
members Of the wedding par
ty and immediate relatives. Furth-
ermore. since the church invitations
We're issued from THE Secretary and
Mrs. Hay" it would seem that no
street address was called for, if re
sponse' was made as requested.
Owing to the family mourning, every
possible effort was made to make this
occasion strictly personal affair, and
the further query is heard as to why
cards did not go forth as from the pri-
vate individuals, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Hay. especially as not one of Secre-
tary Hays brother officers was invit-
ed to the wedding breakfast. The di'
plomatic set in Washington are guilty
of covert smiles at the discrepancy,
and that such representative society
folk as the Hays should make so glar,
ing q breach.

has been crowded with happenings at
the capital Social events seem to
have reached climax of brilliancy,
and to have almost overlapped in the
rush to get in before the final ring
down of the curtain for Lent.
The Hay-Whitney marriage, howev-
er, being of such international inter
est, stands out in bold relief as the
paramount occurrence of the closing
season.
The ceremony was performed with
ostentatious simplicity. While the
deep mourning of the Hay family pre-
cluded fulfillment of official obliga-
lions on such an occasion, the simplest
observances served to fill two days
with continuous round of feasting
and pleasurable exchange of courte-
sizes.

fortunate young couple who assembled

not allowed to drown out the interests
of the proposed railroad through Iowa,
via Ottumwa. The Courier publish
ed at the top of it's editorial column
the following call:
Don't forget the railroad conven-
ton. Friday, the 18th inst, is the day.
Let everybody be here
Just below was another article bear
ing upon the all-important convention
reading as follows:
I'VE would suggest to cur citizens
the prop1iety of making arrangements
to accommodate portion OF the dele
gates to the convention Of the 18th,
at private houses. The hotels cannot
entertain the half of the delegates that
will be here from distance
The remainder of the editorial space
was taken up with attacks upon the
Des Moines Republic. which paper, it
seems, was the sworn enemy of the
Courier in 1852. This matter crowded
out the railroad editorials that would
otherwise doubtless have been featur-
ed. but news articles bearing on the
proposed railroad were to be found in
various places in the Courier. Among
these are the following:

ward are probably unfounded although
no authoritative statement has been
made by the President in regard to
the matter.
If Miss Roosevelt goes to London as
the guest of the Reds, it will be de-
.lightful experience which no one could
begrudge this already over-fortunate
young woman. But if such ostenta-
ton as has been suggested were at
tempted in her honor it is almost su-
pertiuous to say that the American
people would resent bitterly the cir
cumstances which made such ostenta.
ton possible. There are no princess
es in America, and none are desired.
No such honor is courted as would be
offered Miss Roosevelt if she should
be permitted to attend the coronation
in semi-oficial capacity. In truth,
the suggestion is absurd, and every ef-
fort should be made to relieve the En-
glish from observances which, to say
the least, would be prompted merely
by the exigencies of the situation, and
would be, after all. the hollowest
mockery. since the essence of Ameri-
canism is distinction for merit and
merit alone. Arabella Gushington.

COL. S. A. MOORE--The Nestor of the Iowa House,

in 1856 the wings named him as the
nominee for county judge. He was
elected and served two six year terms.
Having served his time in that capac-
ity he resumed farm life and turned
his attention to the management OF
saw and grist mill. In the year 1860,
on Christmas day, he moved his fam
lily to this city where he opened gen
eral store on the east side OF the
square in the building now occupied
by Curl & Grants grocery. For ten
years this work was carried
on during which time came
the country's call to arms,
to which the colonel responded with
the patriotism and enthusiasm that
characterized his career in battle life.
Entering the army as a private he be-
came second lieutenant OF Company &
Second Iowa infantry, and was promot-
ed to captain He participated in the
battles of FL Donelson and Shiloh and

Fifty years ago in Ottumwa, politics
were beginning to affect the minds of
the people, as the preliminary arrange
ments were being made for the con-
vention OF the wings of the country to
be held in June. The Courier support

ideas in the matter evidently, which
later proved to be about right as to

Telegraph shows something of the SEN
timent at the national copital at the
time:

Comparison of the two families just
united by the marriage of Miss Helen
Hay and Payne Whitney brings to
light some interesting points on both
sides. 1t is doubtful if the brilliant
intellect of Secretary Hay could alone
have achieved for him the high posi-
ton in the state and in society which
he enjoys. through the aid Of his wife's
wealth. Mrs. Hays father was a man
without particular distinction save that
he amassed great fortune, and the
wife of the secretary should not now
be made to shine altogether by the re
Elected light of her husbands intel
lectual effulgence, since with her in
heritance she has contributed SO large
ly to bring about its general apprecia-
ton and acknowledgement.
Those familiar with the breach in
the Whitney family, which has exist
ed for some time, were interested to
note that while Harry Payne Whitney
and wife were present at the wedding
of his brother. Payne Whitney, the
