LKffM. ijew Mi (he Chliafro bt A Stills Cotaftty trowttg v' MABOtJS TAST MABB1SD. I Attended the wedding of Mr. MB rous B. Tfift and Mise Laura Willard at the beautiful hotne of the bride's parents on avenue last Thursday after fioofl.

It was one of the most enjoyable BMoBions of a matrimonial nature that 1 hate ever witnessed. Everything pnreed off harmoniously, as is 'usually the case at such places. The number ol gtieste, which included the relatives ol both parties end their immediate frierds, was quite large but they were easily accommodated in the spacious mansion where the ceremony was per- foimed. The bride is a highly cultured and intelligent young lady whose amiable disposition and delightful manners have made her an especial favorite with all her acquaintances. The groom is loo well known to the people of Mills county to require any comment from me.

His parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Taft, are two of our oldest and most respected erstwhile citizens.

For many years they were residents of Mills county where Mr. Taft held various positions of honor and trust. Marcus is now one of Chicago's most promising attorneys and io rapidly mounting the ladder of fame and fortune. The happy couple go to housekeeping at once in their home at 9548 Woodlawn. THKY LOOK FUNNY.

I had occasion in an earlier letter to speak of the ubiquitous bicycle and how it was carrying all before it here in Chicago. But I hardly did the subject justice. Where there wasone bicycle at that time there are fully one hundred at the present time. It is absolutely dangerous for a man to walk abroad any more, 'unless he has his wits very much about him. One of the legitimate results of this rage for wheels is the regular cycling costume which is no.t bloomers as was freely predicted that it would be.

No, the reform stopped short of that and crystallized in a short skirt reaching just below the knees. This is the costume universally worn and it is worn by the wearer every place she goes she is off her wheel. For instance i University girls who ride bicycles, "and their name is legion, attend their classes in their cycling costumes. These abbreviated skirts looked very funny at first but one gets used to them in the course of time. Now, no matter where they are seen they never create a single ripple of excitement.

IN AN AKT STUDIO. I visited an artist friend of mine yesterday morning in his studio and saw a variety of things that pleased and instructed me not a little. His name is nnd he is the art critic for the Chicago Tribune. Ha studied in Paris and his experiences there were entertaining to a degree. His wife is a black- eyed, little Parisienne, not so very email either as far as diameter is concerned, and his wooing and winning constitute the most delightful of romances.

Mr. Cameron is a very pleasant acquaintance as indeed is his wife who speaks English quite fluently, and they did their best to initiate me into the mysteries of Guide's art. Mr. Cameron sells hia pictures for from $25 to $40 apiece, ordinarily, which is very fair wages for hie work. An artist's studio, by the way, is fearfully and wonderfully made up.

I never believed half the things I read about studios in the novels but I do now since I have seen one. SPOONING IN PUBLIC. I had my indignation aroused, in a walk which I took through Washington Park the other evening, to see how careless sundry couples were in observing the proprieties. From one end of the Park to the other, one could see lovesick couples in the most affectionate of attitudes, the prevailing fashion seeming to be to have the young man lie with his head in the young lady's lap. It is strange indeed why people, no matter if they are in love, can't observe some semblance of decorum in these things.

Manifestations of tenderness between people whose hearts beat as one are perfectly proper but such exhibitions should take place when the parties are securely screened from observation and not when they are exposed to the gaze of a vulgar and unsympathetic public, To kiss your sweetheart when all the world is looking on, is a violation 'of all the canons of good taste that were ever formulated. Buoh spectacles always jar more or less painfully on our sense of what is decorous and decent and few people who wish to preserve their own respect or the respect of others will pe guilty of such an impropriety. To be sure I said nothing of all this to the couples in question tho I must confess that I felt strongly tempted to do so. However concluded that I could stand it if they could and so made no effort to interrupt their felicity with inopportune talks on etiquette. AMONG THE FAIRIES.

took a walk last Saturday afternoon on South Clark street. This and the territory contiguous thereto is one of the most interesting sections of Chicago. The residents of this locality seem vary friendly and all, especially the ladies, seem disposed to be very sociable. The second band stores and pawn shops in this pprt of the city are as numerous as the sands 09 the seashore or very nearly so and the proprietors are all extremely by ewb place of bojiness genial end a Sable gentleman cotinedted therewith 'wbttld slip kindly In- fjnire if I didn't want a "nice suit of ciodings" or something else in his line, The bargains in "clodiogs," jewelry, that I hod offered me in the course of that houVa walk were truly marvelous. Unfortunately, in anticipation of the route I had planned to take, I had left my pocketbook at home and so was unable to avail myself of all or any of these golden opportunities which were presented in such prodigal manner.

As this regretable fact was communicated to each of my new found friends, his eloquence became speedily hushed and he went away sorrowful. The next time I take a tramp in this direction, I shall go with my pockets full of money so as to he able to take advantage of some of those rare bargains I had to miss on this occasion. I have been in a good many different parts of Chicago but I do not think I have ever been in any place where the people seemed so disposed to cast aside all conventionalities as in this neighborhood. Nearly every body I met, both ladies and gentlemen, spoke to me and no one waited for the formality of an introduction. NELSON C.

FIELD. The Scott-Cole Nuptials. Yesterday at high noon the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.

E. Scott was the scene of the marriage of their daughter, Miss Mary Scott, to Prof. H. N. Cole, two of Glumvood's estimable young people.

The words that made them man and wife were pronounced by Bev. F. L. Hayward, of Hamburg, the ceremony being very simple. After congratulations were extended the company sat down to a bounteous repast which was served in a very pleasing manner, six little girls dressed in white, former pupils of Miss Scott, noting as waiters.

The bride and groom, together with the family of the former were seated by themselves at a large table, while the other guests were arranged around smaller tables in various parts of the house. The rooms were tastefully decorated with roses and carnations, and the occasion throughout is spoken of as being a most enjoyable one. A feature of the gathering was the reading of a short original poem by Miss Emma L. Kellogtt and the playing of the wedding march by Miss Mary Bradford. The presents were numerous and appropriate.

Miss Scott, the bride, was born and has grown to womanhood in Glenwood. She is a graduate of our high school and for several years past has been one of our most successful teachers, whose loss will be deeply felt by the patrons of the Glenwood public schools. As a vocalist she has a well trained voice of much power and sweetness, while possessing many admirable traits of character. The groom, Prof. Cole, has resided in our midst but a comparatively short time, having been employed for several years past as assistant principal in the Glenwood high school.

Industrious, energetic, and a man of character, he has proven to be an able educator and a thorough going gentleman at all times. Prof, and Mrs. Cole left at 6 o'clock yesterday evening for Grand Rapids, Michigan, where the former's parents reside. After a short stay there they will go to Macatawa Park, on the shore of Lake Michigan where the greater part of the summer will be spent, preparatory to entering the state university at Aun Arbor next fall where a two or three years'course of study will be taken up.

fhe Sfoffthftn fiotse Sheriff Tttbba has new boarder at the cottnty jail in the pefaon of H. Cobb who it is thought is the man who stole the horse and buggy from Mr. C. Stevesson, of Strahan. on the night of May llth.

it seems like Cobb made a confident of some of hia friends in Omaha and told them about having stolen a horse and bu'ggy at Strahan and taking the outfit down into Missouri where he sold it. The matter was reported to the Mills county authorities and on last Thursday the man was arrested in Omaha and was taken to Mai- vern without rpquisition papers by Deputy Sheriff E. W. Bnshnell, where he was arraigned before Justice Hammond for preliminary hearing. Cobb waived examination aud in default of bail, which was fixed at $700 he was bound over to the grand jury which meets in September.

There is little doubt that they have secured the right man as the evidence is verj strong against him, although Cobb asserts his innocence. Siuce writing the foregoing paragraph some interesting developments have taken place. Deputy Bushnell went the first of the week to Grant City, where he recovered the buggy while he found the horse and single harness fit St. Joe. It is thought he will be able to get the double harness that was also stolen.

In the course of a 50 or 75 mile trip through Missouri the thief it would seem made a number of trades of various kinds disposing of the stolen property by piecemeal. W. H. Cobb, the man in custody, worked two weeks for Mr. D.

N. Salyers, near Strahan, quitting his employ and going to Omaha May 5th. On May llth, the night of the robbery, Mr. Salyers met a man in the road near where the horse was stolen whom he thought at the time looked very much like Cobb. Should Cobb prove to be the right man (which there is now very little doubt of) Deputy Bnshnell will realize a good thing as an unusually liberal reward had beea offered for the conviction of the thief and recovery of the Stevesson offering $100 and the Strahan horse thief protection association making an additional offer of $100.
