nence in the social circles of Des Moines
occurred at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
David NJ. Bowmer, 933 w. Thirteenth
street Dec, %, 1909, when their daugh-
ter and only child Miss Ethel Marie was
united in Marriage to Luther H Smith
of New York.
The ceremony was witnessed by
guests numbering about fifty, who
were received by the Misses Allen.
Owing to the inability of the Rev.
Daniels to be present, the ceremony
was reformed by the Rev. Thomas L.
Griffith, pastor of the Corlnthian. The
house was beautifully decorate with
the holiday colors, red and green.
Promptly at 9:2O o'clock, to the strains
Of the wedding march played by Miss
Allen, the bride descended the stairs
with her father and proceeded to the
canopy, from the canopy of which was
suspended a large white wedding bell,
where she was met by the groom. The
beautiful and impressive ing ceremony
was used.
The bride was becomingly attired in
q beautiful gown Of white, hand en-
broidered french silk null, with trim
mings Of pearls and lace, and wearing
the bridal veil Her boquet was Of
brides roses. The groom was attired
the conventional full dress.

were ushered into the dining room
where refreshments were served by
Messrs. Baker Dixon and Finis Bled-
soc; Mrs. W. H. Humburd catress.
The bride has many friends in Des
Moines where she has resided since
three years Of age. She is an accom-
plished young woman and musician
worthy Of note, being one Of the best
accompanist in this part of the state
See will be sadly missed in the St. Paul

The groom, it will be remembered
was here two years ago in interest Of

many lasting friends, among whom was
Miss Boamer, and their acquaintance
ripened into a friendship, which termi-
mated in,his coming now to claim her as
his bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith expect to leave
for New York about January 10, where
they will be 1t home to their friends
after February 1st.

FACING
CIVIL WAR

(By United Press Leased Wire, }
MADRID, Via Hendaye, Ja1.
1S.-Following the renewal OF
hostilities in Morocco between the
Riff tribesmen and the Spanish
under General Marina. much pop
ular dissatisfaction is finding ex-
preston today in Spain and an
other outbreak of domestic strife,
similar to that which recently
threw BarceloSa into a condition
bordering upon civil warfare, is
feared.
The immediate cause of dissat-
isfaction is the order which has
stopped the transportation OF
Spanish troops from Morocco to
their homes.
Although the withdrawal was
well under way, instructions to
re-garrison Moroccan posts has
gone out.
1t is believed generally that the
favorable reports returned by
General Marina of the Moroccan
were made public only
to allay the public's mistrust.

by John Swanson, of North
Forty-eighth and Highland
streets, which broke down on
the Point Defiance car line
and narrowly escaped a COL
lision with a street car last
Friday.
AS Swanson was crossing
the track at North Forty-fifth

wagon broke, allowing some
of the dynamite to slip to the
ground.
At the same time an ap-
preaching car just grazed the

regards it as a miracle that
he was not blown to eternity

car.
