a score of 6 to 5. Only five innings
were played and this was enough, for
the "fats" were beirinnimr to frv in the
torrid sun and the "leans" were show

solemnized Wednesday afternoon at
four o'clock by Father McNamara, at
Holy Rosary church parsonage, in the
presence of Misses Mary and Mid Re
gan, sisters of the bride, and Geo. J.
Burke and T. J. O'Keefe. The bridal
couple were attended by Miss Mid
Regan and Mr. Burke. After the
ceremony, which was most beautiful
and impressive, Father McNamara
Jwelt on the important step in life the
contracting partieshad just taken which
was the acceptance of one of the holy
sacraments of God, and which meant
happiness and blessing through life if
considered in the light that it was giv
en. The ties of wedlock means the
fulfillment of two lives in unison which,
with divine blessing, knows no ending
and the happiness thereof is the halo
tlat surrounds the family circles,
bringing peace and contentment to the
members thereof. The simplicity of
the marriage ceremony was most no
ticeable. The bride was attired in a
traveling gown and the groom wore the
conventional black.
A reception of invited guests follow
ed in the evening from eight until ten
o'clock, at the home of the bride's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Regan,
which was a most enjoyable affair, dur
ing which time fully two hundred
friends of these estimable young peo
ple came to oifer their congratulations
and best wishes. The interior of the
residence was artistically decorated
with choice flowers whose sweet per
fume pei meated the atmosphere
and lent an enchanting influence over
the beautiful scene. One room of the
house was filled with beautiful wedding
gifts which the guests had the pleasure
of inspecting.
In the receiving line with Mr. v and
Mrs. Holden were Mr. and Mrs. F. A.
Hively, the guests being introduced by
Mis. J. N. Andrews.
Mr. and Mrs. Holden are so well
and favorably known that words of
piaise from us would only be super
fluous. The groom was a resident of
Alliance for several years, holding a
position in the office of the general
superintendent of the Burlington until
six months ago when he was promoted
to the position of chief clerk to Super
intendent Lyman at Sterling, Colorado.
He is a young man of reliable qualities
and held in high esteem by a large cir
cle of irieuds. The bride has resided
with her parents in this city for the
past ten years aud her beautiful char
acter and pleasing personality has en
deared her to a host of friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Holden departed on

Loonier, manager of the opera house,
L. W. Gorton and Rev. J. R. Jenkins:
"We wMi to state that Maud Palmer
Terrell of Chicago is one of the best
dramatic and musical artists we have
ever had the privilege of listening to.
Her entertainments are novel and a
distinct drawing card, displaying more
versatility than is customary in a single
entertainer. The musical monologues
should have special mention, being
unique and delightful. She not only
gives programs without assistance, but
puts on high-class vaudeville plays
with home talent. She can have a
return engagement in this city when
ever she so desires. She is of high
character and a hustler."
