the worse and It was seen that his

We fain vould offer words of con
olstion to the bereaved parents
brothers and slaters, but words can
scarcely comfort heart that are torn
by such affliction It Is a source of
great consolation to them that they
sorrow not as those that have no
hop of a happy reunion in the great
hereafter. Their loved one has
gone to the happy shore of which he
delighted to stag:
"On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Caanan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie."

ttngton linen west of the Missouri,

and the couple will start on a 10,000
mile honeymoon today.

B. Wilcox of the Trinity Methodist
'Episcopal church offldated. Dr.

Dallas for the last nine years, and
Is one of the leading woman practi

tire control of the lines In the west,
which division embraces more track
age than any other.
The couple met in Ikmver two
years ago, at the home of a mutual
(friend. Dr. Day was summering in
Denver, and Young was here inspect
Ing the road. The two were seen
much together. Then there was
correspondence between them, and
last summer Dr. Day again found it
convenient to spend considerable
time here.
The engagement was announced
vex-ently and caused considerable sur
prise In railroad circles here and in
medical circles in Dallas.
The bride and groom will leave to
day in Young's private car for San

to New Orleans and will be present
at the Mardi Gras, and will go from
there to Mobile and Birmingham.
Then after a tour of the Florida
coast, including Palm Beach, they
will go to Cuba and the Isle of Pines.
They will return to Alliance, where
they will make their home, via Chi
cago. Elaborate decorations were, ar
ranged for the wedding at the Jen
