A Wedding WrlIe-Up.

Boomers e; we're married at the
church last evening. The church
was prettily decorated with flow

promiscously over town OF people
who didn't want to lend them.
The decorating was done under
protest by some of the ladies Of
the church who we're asked to do
so by the bride and they couldn't

the opinion that if the couple
were bent on having a stylish
wedding they should have been

home again. The bride wore d
handsome Silverstern gown,
made at home, and the groom
was diked out in a ten dollar
hand down suit. The ushers
wore cut-away suits, borrowed
for the occasion. Sallie Pots was
maid of honor and the cOneensus
of opinion was that she was two

bride. The couple took the
morning train for St. Louis,
where they will spend more mon

earn in three months. Willie
says now he's married he's going
to settle down. Some OF the
merchants think it would have
been better if he'd settled up first.
The groom gets a salary of twenty
seven dollars month, which is
about the allowance which Bette
has been used to for pin money.

the old-saying that it takes no

the great scenic and electrical produc-

member of the company executed their
parts with a degree OF perfection that
appealed to the audience and met with
their hearty approval. The burial alive,
the exciting knife fight to death. the

OF Mount Nesuvius, all combine TO make
this one of the grandest displays of
