Her cos tume and general make up calculating to give the appearance of juvinility to her supposed thirty summers. The pretty gowns of the other ladles won the hearts of the feminine portion of the audience who declared them "too sweet for any use."

DELAYED THE MAKICIAUE. no ot pattern hats just re- Cin County Couple Lacked a Signature to Written Consent. From Thursday's Daily. Carl Oscar Larson of Nehawka and Miss Emma Catherine Stratton of Weeping Water were married shortly before 6 o'clock last evening by Judge Douglass. The groom Is a well known and prosperous young farmer, while the bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas C. Stratton, who reside in the vicinity of Weeping Water. The-appy young couple called at the judge's office about 1 o'clock yes terday afternoon, and, with a smiling countenance, Ihe groom applied for a license. However, a little hitch oc curred in the proceedings just then which delayed the ceremony for sev eral hours. It developed that tho bride-to-be was only "sweet sixteen," and, although they produced a written consent from her parents, Judge Doug lass quoted from the statutes to the ef fect that it required the signature of at least one competent witness in order to make the marriage legal. This was a rather unexpected occurrence, and had a tendency to somewhat mar the happiness which the features of the twain betrayed.

It was a fine train, and was viewed by quite a crowd of people who bad been notified of its coming shortly be fore its arrival. Une 01 the cars con tained a large megaphone, with a steam attachment, and the noise made by it could be heard for blocks away.

They turned north at the corner of Main ana Sixth streets and were stopped near the post office. No damage, however, resulted from the runaway.

The following article clipped from yesterday's Lie coin News will be of local interest: ' "Had the two young university stu dents known the destination of the charming girl, stylishly dressed, who lelt them on the library steps and walked down town, their feelings to wards her would doubtless have been very different from the sentiments which welled over in their youthful hearts as the young lady moved away. She was indeed a very attractive, witching girl, and popular among boys and girls alike at the university; be longing to one of the ranking societies she was considerably in society and had many admirers and friends. Of the former class were the two youths with whom she hod been talking. Not a trace of trouble, worry or anxiety showed in her. features, and there was nothing about her in any way to in dicate that Bhe had anything more momentous in prospect than a few minutes' shopping! ryireaTo go with her, however she refused him on some slight pre text. Then, with a smile and a laugh she tripped away. "Five minutes later this same young lady walked up to the private door of Chief Hoagland's office, wher"o eh rapped. Tho door swung open and closed again. Half an hour later th girl emerged. She returned to th uniyerrity by tho roundabout way in which she hud come and appeared as blithe and gay as usual. None of he friends ever know what a" terrible or deal of shamo and suffering she had been through. "Una astonishment el the young lady's student friends had they known howeer, could not have exceeded that of Chief Hongland as ho wa con fronted by this airy vision in pink and white.

When she had left her home in one of the principal towns of the state a few months before an only sister, two years younger than herself and a charming, lovablo girl bad remained at homo with their par ents. Two months ago this girl had disappeared and every effort to find her had been fruitless. The soarcl had been fruitless. Tho search hai been conducted quietly,with tho aid of private detectives, and to nil tho friends of the family the daughter's absence meant only a visit with rela tives in the east. "Meanwhile tho parents had becomo fairly frantic with anxiety and grief and this was shared by tho daughter at school in Lincoln, who knew all the particulars and was kept informed as to progress. Just this morning eh had received a letter from her father saying th.it they had at last found trace of tho other girl. But ho would never go another step towards bring ing her back, for she was living a life of shamo in Lincoln. "To the oldqrgirl her sister's shame seemed her own. The news was an absolute shock, as she had Dover for a moment entertained such a thought as tho cause of her sister's absence But she was not, as her parents, will ing to give up the girl so soon. It had only been two months. It might still bo possible to tear her away and, that done, the reconciliation would bo easv So this heroic young woman toou upon herself this task, which seemod to her a duty, and she went into it absolutely alone,without even tolling tho stricken parents of her resolution "The next day found this girl again at tho chief s otlice, according to agreement. In tho meanwhile both night and day police had been search ing the shady part of tho city for tho 6ister. And they had found her. But the chief had sadder, bitterer news for this loyal girl than she had yet under gone. As gently as possible he told her that ho had found her sister in such a place as she had expected, only worse a thousand fold.
