have a place SO important as foreign ad-
wiser for the throne is regarded as Of
particular Importance. Mr. Stevens viii,

the shadOw-lille ruler Of the empire.
The position given to Mr.. Stevens Is
one Of the most remarkable that an
American has ever had. His appoint
ment and the general terms of the

clerk in this city, but now a
railroad conductor, with a run
out of Omaha, Neb., and Miss
Viola L., only daughter of Mr..
and Mrs Raphael Leake were
united in marriage by Rev. D.
F. Sullivan Monday evening at
800 O'clock.
The bride was gowned in a
handsome aud becoming gray
cloth travelling suit and looked
like lovely picture.
The witnesses, her cousin,
Miss Agnes Hays, was gowned
IN black and Frank Losson, like
the groom, in black.
After the ceremony an elegant
wedding feast was served at the
home of the bride. Only few
intimate friends and relatives
were present.
After a trip to Kansas City
and Linwood, Kan, the young
folks will be at their new
home ON aha.
Viola was practically raised
in this city, where she was
known as charming and pref
ty girl and member of the
Holy Rosary choir, from which
her flute.like voice will be sad
ly N ssed. Luther was not the
only one by several, it was not
a leap year affair by any means.
