BRIDAL COUPLE
The HeadIlners Of the Bill Which
Was to Have Been satsed at
Union Depot Did Not
Appear.
And Charlie lodged!

Anu sOudIlle uOuBGu!
The fastest sensation In Keokuk
theatrical circles was pulled off this
afternoon at 1855, when Burlington
train No. 3 arrived from the south
The thrills, however, were not felt by
the large and expectant audience of
travelling men, and passengers about
to depart from Keokuk, but by the
company which had descended the
johnson street hill for the purpose of
furnishing the excitement. For at the
moment when the comedy should have
reached its climax, the curtain came
rolling down and the lights were
switched On. The star of the bill did
not appear. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Dodge, recently married, but still
wise enough to slip one over expect
ant friends anG relatives did not step
off the train to ride through Keokuk
in the gaily decorated machine which
awaited them. Charley had made
good on his name, and the committee
of welcome had to indefinitely post
pone the presentation of the keys of
the city to the benedict and his bride.
The popular proprietor OF the Dodge
theatre was United in marriage week
ago In Quincy to Mrs Sadie Mont
gomery The bride who has had
charge of Woodland home, in Quincy
for a number of years, has many
friends in Keokuk, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Dodge decided to visit the former S
brother here as a sort of finale to
their honeymoon. At least that was
what postal received by Bert Dodge
said. Bert and the boys at Dodges
theatre decided to give Mr.. and Mrs
Charley welcome that would be ap
propriate, to the happy occasion.
To this end the services of W. A
Buey were enlisted. The result was {

No LONGER Afraid Of Thirteen.

Thirteen has at last come by its
own. The cloud has been removed
from it; it's character is reinstated.
In fact, 1t is positively in favor So
far from being considered unlucky. 1t
is now actually regarded in the light
of mascot, for the newest charm is
a '13" in precious stones or even in
plain gold. On many motor it can
now be seen, and the hostess who
finds herself with 10 guests on her
hands for dinner or supper need no
longer fear to face them The thir.
teenth will now be justified in con.
sidering herself or himself the luck.
