MINNESOTA FARMER GETS AN IOWA GIRL Affnlr Starts. Through, at Mataal Friend sal rfnds la a Wedding; la Omaha aad a Hoaeymoaa la Caaa ' e,H Blnffa. "T. W. Matthews, Wllmar, Minn.," ap peared among the autographs on the regis ter of the Grand hotel Friday. Testerday this was changed to "Mrs. and T, W. Mat thews, Wllmar, Minn," but still In the Same handwriting. The second inscription on the register denoted the culmination of a ro mance whereby T. W. Matthews, a young farmer from Minnesota, and Miss Mlnnio Hunt of this city became yesterday man and wife. , Previous to yesterday morning Matthews and his bride had never met and they had never heard one another's voices until they conversed over, the 'phone Friday evening. Matthews' Introduction to MIhs Hunt came about by letter through a mutual girl friend. He commenced to correspond with her and through this correspondence, al though neither had ever seen the other, Cupid began to get In his work. Miss Hunt sent the young man her photograph, but he did not do likewise, for, as he ex plained yesterday, he was not, according to hja own . opinion, good looking and he feared that If the young woman saw his picture before she could Judge from the original she might change her mind arid have nothing to do with him. Becoming tired of courting at long dis tance, Matthews made up his mind to come here and take back the young woman with him as his wife, of course, provided she was willing. Miss Hunt was spending Christ mas day with friends, so the meeting be- tween the two had to be postponed until j era, began the stove and hardware busi yesterday. They met at the Grand hotel ness. After two years he bought out Mr. and after being In conference together for two or three hours they dined together. Miss Hunt evidently decided during the dinner that the young man was all he - -' - -. - - claimed to be, as shortly after they boarded a car for Omaha and on returning to the hotel at S o'clock Matthews, who admitted to the' clerk that he felt somewhat nervous, signed the register ss "Mr4. and T. W. Matthews, Wllmar, Minn." .' Matthews' first act on returning to the hotel was to send one of the bell bays to the florist for an Immense bouquet of American Beauty roses for his bride. He said that he and Mrs. Matthews expected to spend several days at the hotel before returning to Minnesota, where he owned a farm of 700 acres and had a comfortable bank account. The bride, a good looking young woman, has been employed as a seamstress and roomed at 728 Mynater street. i ' , ' PAST WEEK IN BLUFFS SOCIETY Wedding's and Hoaiecosalaa' fer tae Holidays Slake Joyaas . .

DES MOINES, Dec. 26. 8peclal.-Th annual meeting of the Iowa State Teachers' association Is to be held here next week, with a program covering four days. The most Important topics that will be con sidered will be that of how to better the condition of the teachers. The preliminary meeting of the association, that of the state educational council, or higher court, beglna on Monday evening, and this body on two separata days will consider two important topics. On Tuesday a committee under the lead of Superintendent A. T. Hukill of Waterloo will give a geeond year's report on -."The Teaching of Eng lish." When thla subject was presented last year there was such diversity of opin ion that no report to the association was possible.' It Is regarded aa. possible that the subject may have to go over for still another year before being finally disposed of. A special committee wss created to consider the teacher question and to report this year for final report, If possible. State Superintendent Barrett named as head of this committee Prof. Thomas Nicholson of Cornell college. Prof. Nicholson has since become president of the South Dakota uni versity, a denominational college at Mitch ell, and he will not attend the meeting. His report will be presented and will be taken up by the council lor discussion. The committee was given by Prof. Nicholson,, at the meeting last year, an outline or tne t utject, in tne ronowing rorm A thnrnnrh and scientific investigation or the average salaries paid in Iowa for the various grades of teachers compared with those Jn other states and in other countries; a comparison of the compensa tion of teachers with that In other pro i..,Un law ma.liclna. the ministry. business', etc.; a determination of methods of tabulating and publishing tne lacts, so in nt tfiem tn school boards and to publish them In the papers and In other ways, so as to make them the basis of a campaign of education for the raising of salaries and of the social appreciation of the teachers.
