Mr.. Gates turned and walked back.

and the wedding service followed.
The bride wore a gown of ivory sat
in, with trimmings of India silk ar
ranged in Grecian folds over the front
of the high corsage and fastened in
the folds of satin at the side. Orange
blossoms and buds and leaves outlined
this drapery and adorned the edge of
the skirt.
A coronet of orange blossoms fast
ened the veil, and garnitures of the
same blossoms were artistically ar
ranged throughout the costume. Her
veil of silk tulle enveioped her and
softened the effect of the satin gown.
1t fell over the entire length of the
long court train.
Gloves reaching to the elbow COM
pleted the costume. No jewelry save
her engagement ring was worn. and no
flowers were carried.
The habit of gift making had not
reached It's height when President
Cleveland was married and the
crowned heads of Europe, the Ameri-
can Ministers at foreign courts, and
countless other people contented
themselves with sending kilograms of
congratulation. The only gift the bride
exhibited to her friends was a dia-

string of brilliants. the gift of the
bridegroom. To this gift Mr.. Bissell.

Paying Dearly for Titles.

The attitude of the average titled
suitor for the hand of an American
girl ought to be considered insulting
by her. So apparent is it that her
money is what he wants that all at
tempts to put a decent face on the
matter are but transparent shams.
Usually the girl realizes this fact, but
she is dazzled by visions of social
triumphs in glittering foreign courts
and thinks she can do without the
love of her husband If she cannot win

power and usually is revenged upon
her. She finds her lot a miserable
one unless she is utterly callous. II
children come her position is rendered
almost uncomfortable. How often this
has resulted in public scandal every
newspaper reader knows.-Cleveland

The moment they were gone the citi-

Those who had gone home for arms for
defense rallied the others. Horses were
procured quickly and the small band
started out in the direction taken by
the raiders.
At daylight, other citizens were ready
for the chase. More horses were pro-
cured and the posse set out, inquiring
at farm houses and in other villages
for news of the strange horsemen.
e As soon sas the telegraph Office was
opened this morning messages were
sent by the Underwood authorities to
Bismarck and other cities and towns
asking for assistance in capturing the
raiders. The men had worn masks and
it was evident that they had in other
ways disguised themselves, so it was
difficult to give an accurate description
of any of them. The Underwood citi-

country and are determined to run the
desperadoes to earth.

touched, and are intact. Both banks
were insured and the loss to them will
