Lillie, of Gilbertsville, N. Y. S. L. Wilhite, of Bloomington E. P. Hammond, .lr., of Lafayette, and F. Lleadley Jobbins, of Aurora, 111. Previous to the marriage service the organist, Miss Olive VanCatnp, of Indianapolis, rendered a number of appropriate selections and Miss Bess Nicholson sang "Oh! Star of My Heart," by Danza. Miss Nicholson was attired in white organdie and carried American Beauty roses. At the appointed time Miss VanCamp played the wedding march from "Lohengrin" to which the bridal party entered. The bridesmaids were the tirst to appear and were four in number, being Misses Alice Patton, of
Remington Fan Jones, of Bloomington Anna Robinson, of Owensville, and Anna Lane, of Greencastle. Misses JoDes and Robinson wore costumes of white organdie over blue silk, trimmed with pleating with blue baby ribbons, blue sashes Misses Patton and Lane were attired in white organdie ever yellow 6i)k, trimmed with pleatings and yellow baby ribbons, yellow sashes. It was a blue and gold wedding—blue and gold being the colors of the Sigma Chi college fraternity, of which the groom is a member. All the bridesmaids carried bouquets of pearl des jardin roses.

ber attendants approached the altar from the west aisle. The four ushers preceded the bridesmaids, who were followed by the maid of honor, Miss Monta Kelso, of Nevada, Mo. Miss Kelso wore blue organdie over blue silk with organdie sash and carried pearl des jardin roses. She preceded little Miss Madoline Kelso, her sister, who bore the bride's flowers and who was attired in white organie. Finally came the bride on her father's arm. She made an ideal bride and was gowned in a becoming costume of white organdie over white taffetta silk, trimmed with real Valenciennes lace. She wore t"he double bridal veil and carried bridos' roses. The groom with his best man, Mr. H. L. Gilbert, of Columbus, Ohio, followed the officiating clergyman, Dr. Everett B. Thomson, from the south vestry and itiet the bride at the altar. The service was that of the unabridged ritual of the Episcopal church, including the marriage by ring, the responses and the giving away of the bride by her father. During the ceremony which was most impressively performed, all in the church stood up and Miss VanCamp played softly DeKoven's "Oh! Promise Me." Upon the conclusion of the service Mendelssohn's wedding march was played, to which the bridal party, headed by the bride and groom, passed out of the church by the east aisle, taking carriages at the door for the home of the bride's parents, on east Market street, where about seventyfive intimate friends were entertained at a reception. The residence had been handsomely decorated for this occasion with plants, vines and flowers and in especial did the dining room present an artistic appearance. The flowers here were all white, while from the chandeliers were hung wide bands of white satin ribbon. The assistants were gowned in white and the refreshments were white rose ice cream with white confections and cake. The receiving party was composed of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Brewer, of Gilbertsville, N. Y., the bride and groom, and their attendants. Mrs. J. R. Bonnell assisted in the parlor, while in the dining room the assistants were Misses Florence Stevenson, Gertrude Mun-
hall and Harriet llouser. Little Misses Maude Bonncll and Madoline Kelso distributed the favors, which were monogram boxes of bride's cake. The presents to tho bride were displayed in the east parlor and were numerous and elegant, tl\ere being many exquisite pieces of pottery, cut glass and silver. At midnight Mr. and Mrs. Brewer left on their wedding trip They will spend some days at Eastern watering places and the balance of this month at the Brewer homestead at Gilbertsville, N. After October 4 they will be at home at 177 West 73d Street, New York City, Mr. Brewer being engaged there as instructor in a high class private school for young men.

Mike Britton, the dog king, although a married man, has for some time been rather attentive to Mrs. Maud Hymer, wife -f a livery stable hand. Last WodnesdayMaud had the rich red nervo and unheard of audacity to get in a buggy with her husband and go out for a drive. Of course when Mike heard of this he was very justly indignant, and naturally felt that I10 had been vory deeply wronged. Aud why not? What's the world comiug to anyhow when women consent to go off buggy ridiug after dark with their husbands and leave their admirers to suck their thumbs all alone. Such actions are surely of a most reprehen sible character and deserve a severe rebuking on each occasion that they come in evidence. If things keep on at the present ruinous rate it will get so after while that admirers will have no rights which husbands are bouud to respect. Mr. Britton is a Puritan of the old line, and when he heard of tho scandalous action of Maude he resolveu tocall herdown. Along about midnight Maude appeared at the resi donee of Marshal Grimes and rousted him out of bed to show him the scores of bruises and scratches which she asserted Mike had iullicted upoa her.
She stated that he lay in wait for her at her home, and after hiv husband had driven off to the stable to put up the horse Mike came out and gave her a terrible beating. She was instructed to come to the Mayor's cilice next morning and file complaint.

The Frankfort Times speaking of the thief bat s: "Sam Haymaker, who was arrested at Elizaville for stealing a hors-j from Waveland liverymen,proves to bp. one of the most accomplished thieves caught in Indiana for a long time. Officer Denton, who went over to Elizaville to seo if Haymaker was the individual wanted for stealing wheels in this part of the State, found that he is the party wanted. Under the "sweat" he gave up such information that convinces the police that during the month of August he stole five bicycles and three horses and buggies. Two of these wheels wero stolen from llussiaville, one horse and buggy at Thorntown, one at Waveland and tho other property at various towns in this State and Illinois."

Lebanon He/toiler: We were misinformed yesterday as to the arrival of J. B. Garner from Indianapolis. He is still in the hospital there and will not probably bo brought home for several weeks yet. Word from Indianapolis to-day is to the effect that, although, he passed a bad night, he was resting easy to-day. He took nourishment this morning and seemed to gain some strength. While he is not out of danger, yet the attending physician gives the family much encouragement of his ultimate recovery.

Wddncsday nightjligtit was observed in the south Walnut street residence of Prof. Emery. As tho neighbors knew that he and his family wore absent in Europe they sent in a message for the police, and ono, more daring than tho rest, wont over to tho Emery house. As he came up a man left the place and galloped oft' into the darkness. When the police came they went through the house but found things practically undisturbed. Two tramps had been seen loitering about during the day, and one of these was most active iu conducting the search for the burglar after tho police arrived. He disappeared quite early in the investigation, however, and could not bo found by Marshal Grimes when that officer was told that he was one of the strange loiterers of the afternoon.
