Laura Schumacher departed Satur-
| day for Minneapolis and St. Paul on
the steamer Dubuque, there was some
suspicion that Dan Cupid was fixing
things for another of his triumphs, and
this proved to be true, as the well
known young couple were married
at O'clock that morning at Daven-
port before taking passage on the
boat. The principals of the event,
l.. Af,.e- I
Creedon, of 312 Railroad avenue, de-
parted early in the morning for Dav-
export, their plan being known only
TO near relatives. Although it was
their wish to keep the event a secret
until their return, the news of the
wedding, which had been expected
for some time, became generally

company with Mr.. and Mrs. Creedon,
will spend the remainder of the
month in the north. The bride is the
well known daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Theodore Stenger of 1872 Third ave-
nue. and the groom, employed in the
composing room of the Mail, is
popular young man and an active
member of the Red Men and the
Vorwaerts.

ems was offered for probate Friday,
and after the 20 days have elapsed
