■ St. church. Ideal June weather for that rarest of: days as described by James Russell Lowell—dawned this morning, and with everything bright and beautiful, and every detail working itself out charmingly, the wedding was certainly one of the prettiest of this season of many brides. Felix Halthouse and Glen Neptune were ushers and the St. Mary's church was filled with the friends of the couple long before the bells pealed forth and Sister Aloysia began Mendelsschn’s beautiful wedding march, announcing the approach of the wedding party. Meeting the bridal party at the cabs, the ushers lead the procession. Next came the bridesmaid. Miss Genevieve Bremerkamp. and .the groomsman, the groom’s brother. Ernest Bistiop of New Washington, Ohio. Miss Bremerkamp, of fair, girlish beauty, was pretty in a pale pink crepe Grecian gown, with trimmings of banding and shadow lace. She carried pink roses and wore a lovely hat with exquisite palest pink plumes.

Then came the two little flower girls who were lovely. They were in pure white, except for the pink and white sweet peas which they carried in large 1 baskets, adorned w’lth tulle bows. These dainty little maidens were the bride’s niece, Miss Isabel Neptune, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Nep- . tune; and Miss Mary ('olchin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Colchfn. Both < wore long waisted frocks of white embroidery and French lawn, with white shoes, and white ribbon bows on their hair. Last but not least came the bride and groom. There was never a lovePer bride than Miss Kinta, who is peculiarly flowerlike in beauty. Gown ed in pure white, and enveloped in her floating veil of tulle, caught to her hair with sprays of lilies of the 1 valley, she was even more so. Her dress was of white crepe, with a fish tail sweep. The high neck was of shadow yoking, and the short sleeves were met with long white gloves. The waist was made in surplice style with embroidered chiffon trimmings White clippers and all white accessories completed a pretty costume, and the flowers she carried were the bridesroses. The Rev. Father Selmets oficiated with the ever impressive ring cere mony, and during the service, the choir, of which Miss Kintz has been a valued member, sang Roeewlg’s mass. The bride's sisters, Mrs. Newton Anderson of Gideon, Missouri, and Mrs. J. Q. Neptune also sang, an Ave Maria. At the close of the ceremony, while the bridal party was leaving the church, Mrs. L. A. Holthouse and Mrs J. Q. Neptune sang, "Night Folds Her Starry Curtains Around.” A wedding breakfast at eleven o’clock for the nearest relatives, the girls of the Slna Cura club and three other intimate friends of the bride, was served at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Kintz on Russell street. Pink and white, the wedding colors predominated in the cut flowers and tasteful streamer and chhndelier hood decorations. The table centerpiece was th-' b Isc.’ie wedding cake, and the cut ..)»<>■<• sides the relatives and thoae of the bridal party, the guests were Mrs. Perry Gandy, Churubusco; Miss Helen Aurent -ort Wayne; Mrs. Paul Kenr'llt, T >.on; Miss Agnes Mefbers, Miss Agnes Kohne, Miss Mamie Harting, Miss Bernice Andrews, Miss Geo-

The safe, which is used only for fire protection for papers, and which is kept open, had been ransacked, but nothing of value taken. The burglars had gained entrance through a small east window in a little warehouse adjoining the store proper at the rear. The window is high, but the glass broken from one of the small panes, was large enought to ad mit the body.

Exit was made through the hick door of the- ware house, by unlocking f:om the inside. Some tracks about th ) place of entrance and exit, may give some due.-.

OUTLOOK JS GOOD Governor Ralston is Pleased With the Reports of Political Conditions OVER THIS STATE Vice-president Marshall Wi'l Open Home in Indianapolis and Live Here. (Democratic Nows Bureau.) Indianapolis. Ind.. June 16 (Special to Dally Democrat) Tho outlook (or ■ >.-ar Is growing - 1 r-htig I, , 1 f ,,|, ~| $ kJgrWi jggM

The Governor aid today that th-' lias been a decided improvement tn tl.e situation during the last two weeks as far as the Democrats are concerned. He said that in the first place the people are getting wise to tlie efforts of the Republicans to make business conditions appear a lot worse than they are. He asserted also that the Republicans have received a set-back during tlie last two weeks by the apparent activity oi the Bull Moosers. The Republicans have been claiming that the Bull Moosers were down and out but they have been holding some very large enthusiastic organization conferences which have given the Republicans the cold chilis. The Governor has been quick to detect the change of attitude among the Republicans who are not so cocksure of themselves as they were recently, Undoubtedly the Republicans are working the ‘calamity howl’ very hard these days with the view of making it appear that tlie only thing that can save the country will lie the election of a Republican congressional and Republican officials generally. But there has come a reaction that Is evident to men who pay attention to political and business conditions. The Governor lias observed it through his many sources of information and naturally is very well pleased with the result. The Bull Moosers are showing that they are going to be as active as they were two years ago which is another cause for pleasure among the men who are interested in the success if their party and who want to see the Wilson policies get a fair trial The Governor Is confident that the Republicans are not making any headway in their attack on the state administration although they are sending out wagon loads of literature for that purpose. The Governor is not going to take a vacation. He proposes to remain right cn the job and he will lend his hand to his party as soon as the campaign opens. Democratic loaders generally say tiiat the national administration is gaining in popularity and that it is going to hi* helped very materially by the way the Mexican situation is being handled.

The presence of Vice-president Marshall here today and the word from hln\ that he Is going to open his home here as soon ns Congress adjourns also lias ailded to the generally good feeling among Democrats. Mr. Marshall expects to epend a part of the summer and autumn In Indiana and he will he on the ground so that he can take an active part in the state campaign before his services are required else, where. Governor Ralston in deciding to set aside a duy In October tor the promotion of gixid health doctrines has taken an advanced step that is attracting nt tention throughout the country. He said today that he will fix the date as soon as the state health decides what it wants to do. It Is expected that sanitarians and medical men from all parts of the country will come to Indiana to watch the experiment. Already some of the most prominent men In the country are writing the Governor for Information about his plans so that they can be inauguarted In other states. The movement probably will become national within the next year or two. The plan under discussion calls for parades and meetings in every city and town In the state a» which better means for health preservation will be discussed and illustrated ,
