R. r. Trump and Edna Leslie Were
Married Here Today and
Wanted it Kept
Deep Secret.
IVES NO REASON
Groom Asked The License Clerk
the Justice and the News
papers to Forget
About it.

Did an clipping couple get married
In Keokuk this morning when r. r.
Trump and Edna Leslie, both of Chi
cago, were married just before noon?
1t looks like it from the actions of
the groom who tried every possible
means to have the news of the we'd
ding suppressed.
The couple arrived in the city this
morning and secured license to be
married. Both gave their ages as 81
years and their homes as Chicago
After the license was issued they
inquired of Clerk Lotion if he could
keep the license from getting into he
papers but the clerk informed them
that the license book was always open
to the public and that he could not
hide it from the newspapers.
The couple then hunted up Justice
of the Peace James S. Burrows, who
united them in marriage in his office.
The groom gave his occupation as
that of a fireman, but he had nice
white hands which did not look as
though they had been firing anything
larger than meerschaum.

Tried to Suppress it.


Trump asked Justice Burrows to
keep the wedding secret and not let
the newspapers get hold of it, but the
Justice told him that he could not keep
It out of the papers, but for him to call
on the papers himself
And he did.
Trump called at The Gate City office
and said that he had good reason
for not wanting the wedding publish
ed, but would not state the reason.
He was accused couple of times
by different parties of figuring i'll an
elopement, but denied this.
He claimed to be no relation to the
Trumps of Fort Madison or of Kahoka,
both prominent families of this sec
ton.

Diplomats Fear a Confiasration.

Central American diplomats fear
there may be a conflagration where
now there is only a blaze. In such
case the governments most interested
in the various countries would inter-
fere. with the result that chaos would
ensue and a new organization would
be necessary all around.
1t is believed that DIR. Anderson
hurried south in anticipation of such
an eventuality. He has the indorse-
ment of Mexico. the most powerful
near neighbor of Central America, and
holds the confidence of at least two Of
the other states on the isthmus. In
the event that affairs reached a crisis
demanding consolidation, he would be
on the ground and ready to step into
the breach.
Friends of DR.. Anderson insist that
he has gone to San Jose merely to at
tend meeting of the international So
ciety on sanitation and to visit his
family during the holidays. This. 9th
ers declare is clever blind. They
maintain that DR.. Anderson's plans
were not changed until it was learned
that Zelaya's abdication was inevitable.

MIR. Jenkinson, as American consul
promptly rushed into the breach, re-

his companions over the city.

dent which occurred at Glasgow on the
occasion Of the kings visit to that city
in the summer Of 1873. He was spend
ing some weeks at Edenburg with a
suite OF rollicking young men, who
were very coldly received by the better
class OF people of that city. And
though he was full cousin of Queen
Victoria she utterly repudiated him
and would not receive visit from him
One day a telegram was received at
Glasgow, directed to the Lord Pro.
vost (the mayor or any other official
of the city," and coming from Leopold
the king. In this he announced his
intention of visiting Glasgow, and
wished to be driven about the city for
an hour. 1t was Saturday afternoon
and it happened-not an unusual thing
that all the important officials were
out of the city at their summer homes
The dispatch was therefore delivered
to Mr.. Nichol. the city treasurer. Mr.
Nichol was very good, but very
timid man, and the thought of receiv-
ing and entertaining the king without
assistance from the other officials
greatly upset him. In this dilema he
came to me for help. I consented tC
aid him to the best of my ability. The
king had said that he would reach
Glasgow at four o'clock by special

Mexico Wants Amalgamation.

The Mexican government is commit
ted to the amalgamation of the five
fiery little republics on the isthmus
Senior Enrique Creel has declared that
his government would like to see such
consolidation, though qualifying the
declaration by saying that he did not
believe the time ripe for such a trans
formation.
Although the United States has been
deliberately and studiously shying at
the subject, il is understood that this
government would not entertain any
great enthusiasm over such consoli-
dation. 1t would mean that Mexico
could exercise far greater influence
over such a group and that the United
States would lose prestige. The close
alliance of the tin-American race
would bring such a situation about.

knowledge of the movements of DR..
Anderson or his object in going to Cos
ia RIGA at this time. Central Ameri-
can diplomats tonight protested Wig
orously that they knew nothing what
ever about the matter.

that resolution declaring the col
