The horsemen OF the state had another

winners, were as follows: Free-for-all

been anticipated with no little relish, but

CASES CONTINUED.
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone VIII
Not be Tried for Several Months.

Caldwell, Ida.-"Swearing they
would ne'er consent" the attorneys
for the state in the Moyer-Haywood
Pettibone proceedings consented on
Thursday to file a formal application
that resulted in a continuance Of the
case certainly until the middle of next
November and perhaps until January
or February of 1907.
And yet the attorneys for the de-
fense declare that they did not file a
motion for continuance. Technically
they did not. They filed written ap-
pllcation for a stay of proceedings.
1t was set up in this application, as
in the informal talks before the court
on Tuesday, that habeas corpus writs
on behalf of the defendants were pend
ing in the supreme court of the United
States, and that very clearly the pro-
ceedings in the lower courts would be
null and void until the writs referred
to had been disposed of. The court
record here will merely show that the
application of the prosecution was sus-
tanned. No date for the trials was set,
nor, in view of the uncertainty of the
termination of the supreme court mat
ter, could there any date be set.

ROYAL BRIDE AND GROOM.
King Alfonso Of Spain and Princess
Victoria Welded at Madrid


Madrid.-This city was a blaze Of
color and the sun shone from cloud
less sky on the wedding day Of King
Alfonso and Princess Victoria. All
Spain rejoiced, and the capital has not
witnessed such scenes of enthusiasm
during the present generation.
The municipality had given free rein
to the popular rejoicings, and the
schools and public institutions were
closed the whole population giving 1t,
self up to celebrating the kings mar
riage
The wedding cortege started from
the royal palace at $3.50 a. m. and was
the most magnificent in the memory
of the residents of Madrid.
The church of San Jeronimo ell Real,
where the nuptial mass was celebrated
and the marriage benediction pro-
nounced, is quaint old structure
which has passed through some
strange vicissitudes. This is not the
first royal marriage celebrated there,
for the wedding of Isabella II took
place in great pomp within its walls,
But more recently the church was
abandoned TO a carpenters shop and
planning mill. and the whirr of saws
took the place Of the solemn measures
of the mass. Later 1t has been re-
stored
AS the royal couple entered the
church, the assemblage arose and 200
choristers intoned professional
hymn. The king looked calm, happy
and slightly pale, as usual Across
the breast of his field marshal's uni
form was the blue and white sash Of
the Order of Charles III, and on his
breast sparkled the orders of the Gar
ter and the Golden Fleece.
The bride entered with her mother,
brother and Queen Christina. the sill
vered embroidery of her wedding dress
being reflected by the myriads of
lights until the brioe seemed to be
robed in jewels. Her veil, slightly
drawn aside, revealed her clear, fine
features with cheeks full Of youthful
color.
| The king advanced to meet the bride
and they stood together as the mar
riage service began. The ceremony
was performed with all the impressive
ness of the Roman ritual, Cardinal
Sancha, archbishop of Toledo, robed
in crimson silk, officiating, assisted
by special nuncia of the pope and
the highest dignitaries Of the church,
with scores of acolytes and incense
burners. The ceremony, which lasted
nearly an hour, terminated with the
nunclo pronouncing the pope's bene-
diction on the newly married couple
and the chanting of the TIE Deum.
AS the king and Princess Victoria
were pronounced man and wife the
news was signaled to the waiting
crowds, and all Madrid broke into
| frantic demonstrations of joy, while
cannon doomed and church bells
chimed.
