" Ha4 lis Mrlli la rllB i f Portrait Tir (irMM. " (From a Staff Correspondent. LINCOLN, Oct. . (Bpectal )-The last Chapter In the romance of a picture. ; reached at 7:39 o'clock this evening In the ' tastefully decern ted parlor of the home of ' ' her parents, Mr. and Mm. William J. Bryan, when Miss Ruth Bryan and Mr. William Homer Leavltt were married. Chancellor V. W. C. Huntington of Wes leyan university read the marriage cere mony, which, like the details of the wed ding, was simple and impressive. The fate ful picture of Mr. Bryan, painted by the groom, formed a part of the decoration. The guests numbered scarcely 190 and I. theea only the members of the Delta Gamma aoclety and a few Intimate friends and relatives of the two families. The -' oocaelon was more like a gathering of friends to spend a social evening than It waa the wedding of the daughter of a presidential candidate. The guests were iet at the door by Miss Bryan and in her . unafTeceted manner, which has won for .' feer numerous friends In this city, she re ceived them and gave them their first - welcome. The wedding waa a Delta Gamma affair ; and the members of this fraternity pre ; ceded the bridal party down the stairs to t the parlor, stopped at the entrance and r formed a lane, through which the couple ' passed. Miss Margery Watklns played the ' march and Miss Grace Bryan and Mlas Dorothy Raymond led the way to the altar. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. Lea- vltt and his bride mingled with their I guests and joined in singing the Delta Oanuna wedding songs, until the hour of ; their departure to catch the train for the I east. After an extended visit to the T principal cities there they will go to New ' port, where they will spend the winter at i the home of the groom. Miss Bryan was married In her traveling gown, a creation of gray xlbeline with shadowy conventional figures of a darker ; tint, made by a Chicago tailor. . The ma i terlal Is striking, yet quiet In effect and ' Its silvery surface ia shimmery and sheeny ' as satin. The skirt Is untrtmmed except I with stitching and Is to be worn over a drop skirt of blue and green1 changeable i taffeta. " The suit has a Louis XV coat lined with pf.le gray satin, with collar and belt of ; Velvet edicd with gray and white guipure. The blouse to be worn wtlh the suit Is of black and white checked silk with a . crushed band and rosette of black mallne at the throat. The toque Is of gray panne ) with black chenille brim, and black aigrette and the gloves are of gray suede with a single large button. The entire costume Is characterised by elegant simplicity and Is exceedingly becoming to Miss Bryan's -tal) graceful figure. Story at m Plctere. Probably the engagement of no other couple of recent time has been more thor oughly discussed by the press of the coun try than this one. Not only because the bride la the daughter of Mr. Bryan, but be- nun of the romantic meeting, the short j engagement, the rumored opposition of the parenta to the wedding and the youth of the ' bride. The groom came to Lincoln some five months ago for the purpose of painting a , picture of her father to be placed on ex hibit at the Louisiana Purchase exposition, .after which it was to-be presented to Mrs. Bryan.i It was between the sittings for tbs picture that Cupid worked. And while the wires were busy with the : snnouncement of the engagement of Miss Bryan and Captain Hobson and the previous announcement that Miss Bryan was to de vote her life to the work of Hull House, Chicago, the bride to he was overcoming the opposition of her parents to her wed ding. Following close on the heels of the Hohson Incident csme the announcement of the engagement to Mr. Leavltt. made public at a party given by her society at the home Of Mrs. Mary FitsOerald. The bride Is 18 years of age. her birthday securing the day before her wedding. The groom comes from Newport and Is SI years of age. Since his advent In Lincoln he has been constantly at the side of Miss Bryan and for many daya driving, walking, at the matinee and at the part Irs the two have been together.

The Iowa Woman's Suffrage asso ciation will meet the same days at Boone. It Is expected that all the meetings will be largely attended owing to the several women of national reputation that will address each meeting. The conflicting dates la a disappointment to many, how ever, as many of the women hold mem bership in all of the organisations. ' i The Omaha Woman's club will hold Its first open meeting of the fall tomorrow aft-i emoon at I o'clock in the club rooms at the First Congregational church. Some thing more than the usual interest at tache to ttie meeting, owing to the ex pected presence of several visiting women of national prominence. These will be Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, Mrs. Dore Lyon and Miss Mary Hay of New Tork. and Miss Lucy Laney of Haines Normal and Industrial school of Augusta, Ga., the colored woman, who for her work among her people In the south la frequently called the "woman Booker Washington." With the exception of Miss Addams, who lectures In the evening, all of these women will speak. The usual business hour will come first, when reports will be heard and announcements-made. A few minutes will be devoted to an address by Judge Blabaugh on city Improvement and a vote will be taken on the proposed amendment to the constitution to shorten the business hour with the view to making earlier dlsmlasal possible. The annual ad dress of the president will close the hour and during the Intermission the members of the house committee will distribute the Invitations to the deception Jo be given in the club rooms Monday evening, October 12, to Mrs. Demies T. 8.

SOCIETY IN HURRY UP MOOD (Continued from Sixth Page.) and as there were no men present It was carried out with embellishments. As quick ss the suggestion was made one of the dear girls had loosened the pully wires on her little white skirt and with a swish and a flourish she, had draped It over the shoulders of the bride to be for a wed ding veil. Then a red and whif handker chief was tied around the arm' of the girl who waa to be preacher, and another little gM started a wedding march that wasn't a wedding march at all. Another girl, who had been through the mill, acted as ring bearer and she did It with the Jack of clubs aa the pillow. The little flower girl was she who In her office Is noted for her queenly beating and dignified ways. Then came the selection of a groom, but that didn't take long. With grace attained from long years over a typewriter, she deftly bent her figure forward, reached her little hand down till It touched the floor, under her skirts till It reached the train in the rear. Tills she grabbed, and with a motion too quick for the eye she dragged that train straight through, and hiked it-to the front and up, and there she was with the nicest pair of bloomers ever seen off the' stage. The marriage ceremony proceeded and more music came next. . Coming down to the real goods In. the society line, Lincoln was right there with a bargain counter rush, and the regret was that the week didn't have eight days. Of ocurse the talk was all about one tiling and another, and what will we do next week, when Ruth Bryan and Mr. Leavltt, the artist, are gone; and light here on this word artist considerable discussion has been going the rounds as to how to pro nounce It with the Newport accent. Some are putting the soft pedal on the "Ust," Just like they used to, but the real swag gers now are saying it "awtist," with the base on both ends. And still there arc other ways to say It and the Up movements are many and awfully pronounced. ' And speaking about the artistic nuptials, I A HAT F CFNTTTPY 'I OF SUCCESS 5 2e pi is tbe wonderful record made by the famous jj -Hostetter.s Stomach Bitters.

JCIIJl ItlllilJ,' "4 tikliukMlikH Si It Is a question among the srnmen of tbe society set whether the publicity given the bringing shout of the event snj othpr things connected ffth the principals and their families wse Jjst the proper thing. Oae woman who writes society news fer a iocs'. psfer, had a talk with the principal and then wrote an editorial, whkh she submitted to them, to the effect tht the publicity was out of all teste and reason. The principals agreed with her, and With their endorsement she submitted the edi torial to her city editor. "I Just hope you will publish that," she ssld. "becsuee It is a shsme the way the papers have been taking on shout this wedding." The rlty editor agreed to father the story, and he was Interrupted by the woman In her neat breath with "Well, can I have a column and a half In which to de scribe the bride's costume?" But then all this didn't Interrupt the real things, and from the mk wedding Monday right to the real doings Saturday night a right lively bunch of events have been pulled off. For instance: The Century club got busy over the dls- Pcusslon that will continue to be discussed as long as the name, "The Evolution of Woman, and the American Woman Com pared with Women of Other Lands Their Legal Rights, Educational and Social Privi leges." And even with that Mrs. H. C. Bwearington was elected a member of the elub and stood for it. Mrs. George Waite was the homesa and Mrs. Baker lead the debate. It will be two weeks before the club gets together again, however. Mrs. John S. Reed gave a 1 o'clock lunch eon te thirty guest and used photographs of views in her ysrd for place cards, which was quite an agreeab'.e change from ths Yellowstone park views that "we got dur ing the' summer." Mr. and Mrs Grant Watkins gave an Informal dinner to Rev. and Mrs. F. U. Wharton, Mr. and Mrs. J. L Miller, Mr. and Mra. C. H. Robblns. Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Wells, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Steckley. George Behwake and Mrs. Newton. One of the attractive numbers was a garland of smilax that extended around the table and a cerRerpiece made of meteor roses. Tbe Fortnightly club opened the season brisk at the home of Mrs. A. J. Sawyer, where it was announced that the members would do a stunt with French and Ger man and with French aa the opening btlL Mrs. G. M. Larabertson was leader and she told of the life of Daudet besides reading some of his works. r At the home of Mr. and Mra. George Hibner occurred a banquet In honor of Mrs. H. M. Casebeer by the J. O. C. club, of which she was the former president. At this the men were given tiny pictures of the women folks when they were tiny girls and whoever guessed who took who to 'dinner, which was spread on a table taste fully decorated with smilax and roses. A six-course dinner was served and a number of speeches were made. On this same even ing the men folks broke Into print because the Round Table was entertained by A. J. Sawyer and H. H. Wilson lead the dis cussion on "The Quantity Theory of Money' Miss Ruth Bryan entertained the mem bers of the Delta Gamma at Falrvlew and gave each one of the girls an opportunity i to see her trousseau and such like, and j they had been Just dying to see it ever J since they heard about It. And then Miss Susie Chrisms n and Mr. Jean Edwards got married, with two preachers to tie the knot, and Mrs. R. M. Turner entertained, and Mrs. Earl McCreery gave her first post nuptial . at home, and Mr. and Mra. Walter Davis gave a dinner, and the Sigma Alpha Epsllon gave their first dance of the season, and the Eames Ama teurs met with Mrs. Frank Fisher and she Is the wife of a twwepaper man, and the Hall in the Grove met with Mrs. WV B. Richardson, and W. i. Bryan and Miss Ruth Bryan and Mr. W. H. Leavltt went to Omaha and met Mrs. A. L. Leavltt, the mother of the artiat; and Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Davidson of Tecumseh announced they are well known in Lincoln, and then the birth of a eleven-pound boy because there .was a heap more doings. The marriage of Mrs. Jeannette Rehlean der of the office of the land commissioner to Mr. O. S. Ward 1 Omaha last Wednes day evening .takes out of the state yioune a most attractive and popular voung woman who has been one pf the first In dishing up nice entertainments for those she knows. She is Just full of good words and good deeds, snd to attest their love for her a number of state house girls and others gave a luncheon In her honor Mon day evening. She and her husband have gone south for a trip and upon their re turn will be at home at 1125 South Twenty-fifth street, which has Just been com pleted. Mr. Ward is a member of the Farmers' Grocery company and Is a very popular young man. Some of the young men of Lincoln are rejoicing exceedingly these days because of the calling together of the V. B. club to prepare for the season's campaign. U. B. In this Instance meana "Unappropriated Blessings" and of Course with su4i a name Its origin was In the state house and its members are state house girls. It has been the custom of this club to give about four parties during tbe year and everyone of them Is the real thing. The teu.it e chamber Is their stamping ground and when the legislature convened last January some of the hearts were still on the walls that had been left over from the Valentine's party of a year ago. An off shoot of this club is the Hot Air aggregation, which, of course, admits eligible young men, of who-n Lincoln has a few. The parties that this latter club gives are not quite so furinal. Well. It's certainly up to the dear !oya good and plenty these hard time'. Jut to keep It warm this week the Llndell ' cafe, with Its up-to-date cafe prices, haa been thrown open to tear the strings loose from those last summer's . wages. The Lincoln haa a cafe with the same kind of prices and the boy that doesn't try each of them onoe is certain to lose s home, for every girl In town dates everything from the time "I was down to the cffy." But that Isn't all that s going to hold the dear boy's none to the grindstone and knock out that next summer's trip. Thres theaters are running full blast, and though one of them la of the "ten. twent. thlrt," order and tbe other Is a contlnunu aft ernoon and evening, 10-cnt-a-thr3w af fair, the first mentioned has those sliowj that appeal to the girls and be has to go often because it is cheap, Tom L. Barger, a draughtsman in the employ of the Burllngtun. recently took unto himself a bride, who wus Miss Alice Peterson of Plattamouth before she mi to Lincoln, and so recently did the event occur that both the bride and groom have a horror of being looked upon as belrg real new to the trust business. It was be cause of th's horror that they made such strenuous efforts to spuear "old-time s" while going from Lincoln to South Omaha Saturday evening and why the denouement caused thesa so much esnbarrsssment snd thu other passengers so much Joy. Tht couple occupied tbe front seat in the car and as soon as they got settled down the bride, who of course didn't look like a new bride except that she wore a light gray traveling dress, with hat and gloves to match, and some blushes, proretded to pull out a Ladles' Home Journal from somewhere, and ths groom did likewise with a Ltnoola paper, tack watthel th other out of the corner ef sn eye and tch kept the corner of another rve on every passenger that came by.

Havens ft Company, 1 Webster street, returned a vn-dkt setting forth that deceased came to his death from hemorrhage of the brain, produced by a blow on the bud by an "un known instrument In the hands of an un known party." The examination of wlt neases waa personally conducted by County Atturney English, owing to the fact that the manner In which deocased came to death was shrouded In myswry. The Inquest did not throw any Kddltional light upon the case other than that n j w In the possession of the police, who sre still following slender clues along lines that Indus te a foul murder waa committed. The strongest evidence obtainable on this point came from Ir.
