WHITING NEWS
Wedding Takes Place.

A pretty and perfectly appointed
wedding took place this morning
Tuesday, at the Presbyterian church
in Spirit Lake, Iowa. when Miss Mary
Stoerlein and Alexander M. Hamilton
were united in marriage.
The wedding is of extreme interest
to Whiting people inasmuch as it i'm
plicates two of our popular young
people. The bride has been connected
with the local high school for the past
seven years acting in the capacity of
assistant principal and English teacher.
During her residence in Whiting she
has always been a social favorite. Her
bright nature and striking appearance
have served to win for her a universal
popularity. She is also a charter mem
Der of the Fortnightly club. one of
Writings most exclusive organizations.
Mr. Hamilton came to this city from
Louisville. KY. about four years ago
a stranger, known to but few. He
readily made friends which are num-
bered by his acquaintance. He now
holds lucrative position with the
Standard Oil Co., being held in the
highest esteem by his employers.
After spending two weeks with the
DTlQS parents III OplIlI Lake, MI. ana
Mrs Hamilton will return to Whiting
and will reside in New York avenue,
where a coy little home is already
awaiting them.
The courtship of this couple which
was watched with great interest owing
to their popularity. dates back about
three years. The last few months sew
eral difficulties have popped up, but
as fate would have that did not inter-
fere with the date of their marriage.
| The first of these difficulties. arose
when the groom was taken Ill with
| typhoid fever and for six weeks hover
| ed between life and death at st. Ber-
| nard's hospital in Chicago. During
| this time his fiancee proved her loyalty
| to her intended husband by being a
| daily visitor at the hospital and saw
that nothing was left undone for his
welfare. When he came from the hos
pital, he being very weak, was forced
to go to his home in Louisville, where
| it took him several weeks to recupe-
rate.
While in the hospital a real estate
transaction was made which brought
Mr.. Hamilton into possession of the
house in New York avenue, which is
to be their future home. AS soon as
| he was able men were engaged to en-
| tirely remodel the house, putting in
| all modern conveniences and improve
ments. The work was about completed
| when about 1870 p. m. two weeks ago
the Hickory family residing next door
discovered the home to be on fire. The
! fire caused quite a little stir but, al
| fhnnOh axoifad r. l..
ton said he was thankful that it was
no worse. The house is now again re-
paired and ready for occupancy.
A most hearty welcome will be ex-
tended to them upon their return by
their many friends, who are anxiously
| awaiting their arrival.

Mr.. Sprague was the editor of
that paper tor period dating
from 1864 and his last copy was
turned in a few hours before he
died From the comments of
the opposition papers it is clear
that deceased enjoyed the highest
confidence and esteem even of
his political opponents. Mr..

Sprague and his death comes as
personal grief 20 our townsman.
