Hopkins-Yeoman Wedding.

The many friends of Miss Harriet Yeoman and Mr. Bert Hopkins had rathet expected to attend their mar-riage-some time in November, but Cupid, the little god of matrimony, had made such rapid progress in their case lately that they decided to no longer resist the darts from the bow of the tiny archer, aDd at the same time haud their friends a surprise.

They waited Saturday to get the license until the Daily Republican repci ter had made his final court house rounds, but this precaution was not sufficient to fool the wise ones whb comprise the bride’s friends, aud scarcely had the license been issued than plans were started for a lively depot chariv iri. The marriage took place at the' home of the bride’s parents at 6 o’clock, only the immediate relatives being present to witness the ceremony, which was prouounced by Rev. H L. Kindig of Trinity M E. church.

TJhey went to the railway station shortly after the ceremony and ran into a bi£ crowd of friends fresh from ihe rice fields, and they got busy at once. There was a deluge of rice and a simultaneous expres sion of congratulations that surprised the eurprisers. The groom was marked by red and white bows pinned to his shoulders and both bore every symptom of ‘(jast married” bliss. After a short stay in Chicago they will retnrn to Rensselaer and begiu housekeeping in Miss Maud Spitler’s beautiful new home on north Van Rensselaer street. Miss Spitler will retain rooms there and Mrs. Spitler will go to Oklahoma to spend the winter with her sofa, Mariou L. Spitler.
