AN ILLINOIS BRIDE.

Oklahoma City Attorney Was Married at Effingham Christmas Eve.
Mr. Gus A. Elbow of the new firm of Robinson, Reeves & Elbow, was married at
Effingham, Ill., on Christmas Eve, securing as his bride Miss Nellie A. 
Porter of
Kinmundy, Ill.  They will be at home in Oklahoma City after February 1.  The 
following
is from the Effingham Republican:

Miss Nellie A. Porter and Gus A. Elbow were married Wednesday evening at 
half past
eight o'clock at the home of the groom's mother, Mrs. Cornelia Elbow, on 
Washington
avenue.  The wedding was the elite social function of the year, both young 
people having
been prominent society leaders of this city.

The parlors of the Elbow home were elaborately decorated with palms, cut 
flowers,
smilax, holly and mistletoe in a corner, especially arranged with a bower of 
the stove,
was where the young lovers clasped hand and spoke the words that made them 
husband
and wife, consummating a great romance of Austin college, where they first 
met and
learned "the sweet story" that some students do learn aside from the studies 
in our college
curriculum.  Both are alumni of Austin.

The bridal party was formed upstairs and marched down while Miss Jennie 
Truesdale
played Mendlesohn's wedding march.  First came the ushers, Miss Daisy Bruce 
of Mt.
Vernon, Ruby Lawson, Frances Broom and Elizabeth Homes, dressed in white and
carrying pink and white carnations.  Then Mr. Elbow, the groom, dressed in 
black,
cutaway white vest.  He was accompanied by the minister, Rev. G.W. Scawthorn 
of
Kinmundy.  Following them came little Hugh Austin, dressed in pink and 
white, carrying
a white satin pillow, the ring being attached to a rose and lying on the 
pillow.  Little
Hugh let the bridesmaid, Miss Elsie Elbow, and the best man, W.E. Nelms of 
Rockford.
Miss Elbow was dressed in pink silk null and point lace and carried a boquet 
of pink
roses.  They were followed by the bride and Mr. Alfred Porter, an uncle, of 
Salem, who
gave the bride away.  The bride was attired in white etamine over white 
taffeta trimmed
in white chiffon grapes, pearl ornaments and ribbon.  Her hair was worn 
high, molihe
pompon, with roses.  She wore white satin slippers.  She carried a large 
boquet of white
roses.  They formed in the north parlor, and Rev. Scawthorn read the 
Episcopal service
while Miss Truesdale softly played on the piana Cavalleria Rusticana, by 
Pietro
Mascagni.

Refreshments were served in the large dining room by Misses Eva Shephard and 
Mable
Peters, and Miss Frances Loer presided at the cake table, where monogram 
boxes
containing wedding cake were presented to the guests.  Preceeding the 
ceremony Mrs.
Paul Williams of Newton sang, "For This," by DeKoven.

Among the guests who deserve special mention is the old Marble Heart club or 
Peach
club, of which the groom was a member.  They were all there, some of them 
coming from
a distance.

Among the guests from a distance were A.L. Sprinkle, Chicago; Miss Ruby 
Bissell,
Chicago; Miss Daisy Bruce, Mt. Vernon; A.E. Curson, Miamisburg, Ohio; Grace 
Potter,
Lexington, Ky.; H.L. Barnes, St. Louis; A. Arendt, Grenville; A. Porter,

(1/25/1903)

The week has numbered so many charming society affairs both big and informal 
that it
seems almost impossible to review it as a whole without mentioning 
everything that has
occurred.  One reason for the gaiety has been the many affairs given in 
honor of Miss
Van Winkle, who will be married at St. Paul's Episcopal church next 
Wednesday.  Miss
Van Winkle is a charming girl that the matrons will be glad to number in 
their set and the
girls will refuse to part with.  Bishop Brooks will pronounce the marriage 
service and
Miss Van Winkle will have but one attendant, Miss Byrd Lincoln.  Miss 
Lincoln will be
gowned in white Paris muslin and carry roses, while the bride will have on 
white crepe de
chine and carry a prayer book.  Mr. Du Mars will attend the groom, Mr. Major 
Moberly.
The ushers chosen are Mr. Carl Filson, Mr. Fay Bond, Mr. Archibald Woodside 
and Mr.
House.  At eleven o'clock the Van Winkle mansion will be thrown open to 
about one
hundred and twenty-five invited guests.  The bride and groom will make a 
trip through
Missouri to visit Mr. Moberly's parents, and then on through some of the 
southern states,
when they will return and take up their residence with the bride's parents.  
Another bride,
from out of town, however, has made her debut in Oklahoma City society the 
past week
and her coming has been the occasion of some charming entertainments.  Mrs.
Kirkpatrick and Mrs. Richardson gave musical in her honor and everyone who 
met her
profess Mrs. Salmon to be an addition to the cultured set of the town.  Mrs. 
Homan's six-
handed cuchre was also lovely and indeed the past week has been a series of 
successes.

high yoke
of lace studded with seed pearls and with garlands of pearls outlining the 
yoke and on the
shoulders.  The sleeves were only to the elbow and white gloves were worn.  
Garnitures
of real lace fell to the waist line.  The skirt was made softly tucked and 
with sweeping
lines to the train.  She wore the customary  tulle veil which was fastened 
to the hair by a
magnificent diamond cross, and a white prayer book was carried.  Miss 
Lincoln wore
white Paris muslin over white silk.  The gown was made high and with a train 
and was
elaborately trimmed with lace.  She carried a shower bouquet of pink roses.  
Just before
the entrance of the bridal party Dr. Coulter sang, "Oh, Holy Hour," and Miss 
Hatten
played Mendelssohn's wedding march both for their entry and departure.  The 
church was
magnificently decorated with southern smilax, palms and white roses.  The 
chancel was a
mass of bloom and just before the entry of the bridal party the ushers, 
Messrs. Filson,
Bond, Woodside and House, stretched ropes on smilax down the aisle to the 
chancel.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents.  
The house
had been transformed into a vision of floral lovliness.  The reception hall 
was banked
with flowers.  White roses and smilax smothered the mantel and twined the 
carven stair.
The alcove had been banked with palms, from behind which the orchestral 
music floated.
The dining room, where a buffet luncheon was served, was decorated with 
smilax,
asparagus fern and bride roses. Broad what satin ribbons stretched from the 
chandelier to
the four corners of the table.  The parlor where the bride and groom and Mr. 
and Mrs.
Van Winkle received was in green and white, with carnations as the flower.  
Mrs. Van
Winkle wore a creation in filmy blue, trimmed with bands and medallions of 
ecru lace,
cut square about the throat, and made with a train.  She wore diamonds.

gown
magnificently trimmed in jet and chiffon, Mrs. Colter in green crepe de

LAMB-CLASSEN.

One of the prettiest weddings of the season occurred at the home of Mrs. 
Mary C. Lamb,
41? West Main, Thursday evening at 6 o'clock, January 29, when her daughter, 
Ella Dell,
was married to Mr. Anton H. Classen of this city.

The bride was gowned in an exquisite creation of white French lawn, trimmed 
with point
lace, and carried a shower boquet of bride's roses.  She was attended by her 
little cousin,
Miss Helen Lamb of Perry, Oklahoma, a beautiful child with brown curls and 
big blue
eyes, who was gowned in a hand-made frock of white swiss, trimmed profusely 
win
valencennes lace.  She carried pink roses and also had charge of the wedding 
ring.

Rev. E.B. Rankin of Edmond, assisted by Rev. Thoma Co?ke of Oklahoma City, 
both of
the First Methodist Episcopal church, performed the ceremony, the beautiful 
ring service
being used.  The bridal party stood under a canopy of Southern smilax, palms 
and roses,
the archways and pictures of the room being decorated with the same.

A wedding dinner was served at 7 o'clock, one of the prettiest features of 
which was the
table devoted entirely to the children who were present.  The bride's table 
was decorated
with white carnations, ferns and broad satin ribbons of white stretching 
from the
chandelier to the four corners.

The wedding was as simple as possible, and only the relatives in the 
territory and a few
intimate friends of the bride and groom were in attendance.

Mrs. Classen is very well known to Oklahoma City residents and has many 
friends here,
having resided here for twelve years.  Mr. Classen has been in the country 
since the
opening, having formerly resided at Edmond, but for the past five years 
having made
Oklahoma City his home.  He is very prominent and well known, being a 
leading and
influential citizen, a man of wealth and progressive ideas.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Classen will be
at home after March the 15th at 214 West Ninth street.

(2/1/1903)

HOEFER-McMECHAN.

A very pretty little home wedding occurred at 100 Pottawatomie street, the 
residence of
Mrs. F. Hoefer, on Thursday morning at eleven o'clock, when her daughter, 
Minnie, was
married to Mr. James McMechan of this city.  Rev. Harper of the 
Congregational church
performed the ceremony.  The house was prettily decorated with palms and 
flowers, and
after a delicious dinner the young couple left for Fort Worth and other 
Southern points on
a wedding trip.  They will be at home to their friends after February 15th 
at the home of
the bride's mother.  The wedding guests were limited to the relatives of the 
bride, Mr. and

founder of
the Hoefer Packing Company, and a well known and highly esteemed citizen.

Epidemic of Marriage.

First
National bank, will be married at Welectka, I.T., on February 11, to Miss

Blackman, an estimable young lady of that city, daughter of a former 
resident here, and a
well known young lady.  Mr. Blake is also the treasurer of the Conservative 
Loan and
Abstract company.

He is the fourth man in the First National to be married in a short time, 
and the epidemic
has alarmed the four single men left in the five banking institutions of the 
city, so much
that they have organized a "Marble Heart Society" with each man as one of 
its officers.
They defy the ladies to catch any more of the crowd, but another wedding is 
soon to be
announced with the president of the society, Russ Johnson, of the State 
National, as one

Chickasha Society Wedding.

Chickasha, I.T., Feb. 18.—Henry Whiteman, manager and half owner of the 
Independent
Telephone company, also a member of Whiteman Bros. Wholesale Grocer company, 
and
Miss Gettye Johnson, sister of Henry B. Johnson, president of the Commercial 
club and
cashier of the First National bank, were married Friday morning at 1 o'clock 
by United
States District Clerk J.W. Speake at his office in the court house.  For 
reasons best known
to themselves the young couple desired the nuptials kept secret, and Mr. 
Speake was
enjoined not to mention it to anyone, or something terrible would happen to 
him.  Mr.
Speake kept faith with them till today, when the weight on his conscience 
became too
great, and he summoned a reporter for the Daily Express and gave him full 
details.  When
the couple learned that their secret was no longer a secret, they promptly 
put a barrier
between themselves and the friendly "joshes" and good wishes of friends by 
taking the
first train for Dallas, where they will spend a brief honeymoon.

The wedding, when it became known, created a profound sensation among the 
society
circle, of which Mr. Whiteman and Miss Johnson are prominent members.  While 
it was
known that the two were very good friends and were seen together 
occasionally, a
matrimonial alliance was scarcely anticipated.  Mr. Whiteman is one of 
Chickasha's most
substantial young business men, and has large property interests here.  
Under his
successful management, both the telephone and electric light systems have 
become
models of their kind, and have doubled in value many times over.  Miss 
Johnson is one of
Minco's reigning belles, and has numerous friends in Chickasha, where she is 
a frequent
visitor.  She is a one-eighth blood Chickasaw Indian, and one of the most 
beautiful and
popular members of the tribe.  Her family is one of the oldest and 
wealthiest in the nation
and she is very loyal to her people.

Mr. and Mrs. Whiteman will reside in Chickasha on their return from Dallas.  
After the
ceremony Saturday morning, in order to keep anyone from suspicioning, Miss 
Johnson
repaired to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Redford Bond to spend the night, while 
Mr.
Whiteman went to his rooms.  Next day the couple were seen together in the 
morning, but
in the afternoon the bride returned to her home in Minco, where she was 
joined by her
husband Sunday.  It was the constant thinking of the long distance telephone 
bell, bearing
messages of congratulation Monday morning, which informed them they had been 
found
out, and warned them that if they desired to escape the teasing most popular 
newly-
married folks receive, they must strike out for Dallas at once.

(2/19/1903)
Miss Eberhardt Married.
Chickasha, I.T., Feb. 18.—Miss Lizie Eberhardt, until the past few weeks a 
popular
employe of the Mississippi store at this place, was married one day last

Chickasha Society Folk at a Dance Decide to Marry.
H.C. Whiteman and wife, nee Johnson, of Chickasha, are late arrivals at the

secured, a
justice pronounced the ceremony and, like the swallows, they were off to the 
south.  Both
are prominent society people, Mr. Whiteman being connected with the electric 
lighting
company, and his bride the sister of a prominent banker in Chickasha.  They

bride, accompanied by her father, entered the church to the music of 
Lohengrin, rendered
by the regular organist.  She was preceded by the ushers and two maids.  The 
later were
Miss Irene Turner of Oklahoma and Miss Marjarie Post of Michigan, who wore 
trained
gowns of white mulle built on white taffeta, with picture hats of white 
gauze and gloves.
Both carried white lilacs, tied with light green chiffon.  The bride's gown 
was an
exceptionally handsome creation of white panne velvet made with yoke, bertha 
of

Society News and Gossip.

On the eleventh day of the month, at 9 o'clock in the evening, will occur 
one of the most
interesting and brilliant home weddings of the year, when Miss Veta McClure, 
the
beautiful and clever daughter of Mrs. Mary McClure, will wed Mr. I.T. Jones 
of Boise,
Ida.  The bride's home, at which the wedding will occur, is admirably 
adapted to the
purpose, being artistically arranged, with a large reception hall which 
opens with folding
doors to the drawing rooms, which are long and large and handsomely designed 
and
furnished.  Roses and carnations with ferns and smilax will be used in 
profusion, and the
bride, who will be unattended, will wear an imported Parisian gown of Rose 
Point lace,
over chiffon, built on a taffeta foundation.  Mr. G.V. McClure, a brother of 
the bride, of
Carmen, O.T., will give her away, and the groom will be attended by Mr. H. 
Neal P.
Jones, of Muscatine, Iowa, his brother.  After the ceremony and reception, 
the bride and
groom will leave for California points, to be followed by a trip to South 
Dakota, and will
be at home after July 1 at the Idan-ha hotel, Boise, Idaho.  The bride, 
although educated
in the east, is a true daughter of the west, and it seems most fitting that 
of the many
suitors for her hand it should be claimed by a western man.  Bred in 
Oklahoma when the
vast cattle ranges flourished, her father one of the prominent cattlemen of 
the early days,
who numbered his acres by the thousands and his cattle by the tens of 
thousands, the
romance and charm of the life on the open and breezy ranges has never been 
forgotten
nor ceased to be regretted by Miss McClure.  Although a slender and 
beautiful blonde,
she is very athletic, and is as true a shot and interprid and graceful rider 
as any of the
boys who rode her father's ranges.  Mr. Jones was a former resident of 
Colorado Springs,
Colo., where he was associated with the Hon. J.W. Ady, of federal court 
fame, and tried
many celebrated cases, being also a prominent club and society man of the 
town.  Later
he became interested in mining in the Cripple Creek district, afterwards 
extending his
operations to Deadwood, S.D., and to the Thunder Mountain gold mining 
district of
Idaho, where he has extensive interests.  Mr. Jones still finds time to 
attend to the more
important part of his practice, having recently been retained in the famous 
Stratton will
case, which is being so greatly talked about and is of absorbing interest 
all over the
United States.

It was while Miss McClure was visiting in Colorado Springs two years were 
introduced
by a mutual friend, and ever since Mr. Jones has been anxiously urging his 
suit, which
will be happily culminated on Monday, the 11th.  Of the two hundred and 
fifty invitations
which have been issued to the wedding, only about seventy are out in the 
city, the others
being sent to out of town friends.  Only the most intimate friends of the 
bride and groom
are invited.  Of the affairs planned in honor of the wedding, two have been 
arranged for
at Guthrie, on the 8th.  Miss Brooks will entertain in the afternoon and 
Mrs. Reidles will
give a large dinner part in the evening.  Mr. Jones will be present, 
stopping off at Guthrie
on his way here.

On the seventh day of March Miss Hulit Trapp, daughter of Colonel and Mrs. 
S.B. Trapp
of this city, was married at Manila, Philippine Islands, to Lieutenant Noble 
J. Wiley,
commanding Company M, Fifth Infantry.  The bride left during the first week 
in
February, being chaperoned by Mrs. Richards, wife of Colonel Richards of the 
Sixth
cavalry, who was going to Manila to join her husband who is stationed there. 
  The trip
was a very pleasant one, there being many wives of army officers on board.  
The wedding
was one of the most beautiful ever celebrated in Manila.  The chapel where 
the ceremony
was performed was gorgeously decorated with palms, ferns and beautiful 
tropical
flowers.  Eight officers of the Fifth infantry ushered and the famous Fifth 
infantry band
played the wedding march.

The bride was a beautiful vision in a gown of pure white silk grenadine made 
on a
foundation of white taffeta silk, handsomely trimmed with duchess lace and 
chiffon
roses.  After the ceremony a very large and handsome reception was given the 
bride and
groom at the residence of Colonel ?orden, which was very enjoyable and will 
never be
forgotton by the happy company.  The gifts were many and unusually handsome,
especially those presented by Lieut. Wiley's brother officers and his 
regiment.  The bride
is a bright, vivacious and beautiful young lady who has been educated at, 
and is a
graduate of the Weslean Female College of Macon, Ga., the oldest woman's 
college in
the Union.

Colonel and Mrs. Trapp moved to Oklahoma City from Montgomery, Ala., in 
November,
and during her brief stay in the city Miss Trapp has made man warm friends 
and
captivated all who met her with her sweetness and charm.  Colonel and Mrs. 
Trap still
reside here and are of the influential and prominent people of the city, and 
among those
that Oklahoma is proud and anxious to call her own.

Lieut. Wiley, the groom, is a son of Hon. A.A. Wiley of Montgomery, Ala., 
who is the
representative of his district in congress, and is one of the prominent men 
of Alabama and
known and honored throughout the South.  The bride and groom have known each 
other
since childhood and the wedding at Manila was the happy termination of a two 
years'
engagement.

The marriage of Miss Veta Ellean McClure and Mr. I. (Isaac) T. Jones, 
celebrated at the

over seventy-
five guests being present.

The house was beautifully and elaborately decorated with a profusion of 
roses and
smilax.  The back drawing room was adorned in white bride's roses, smilax 
and broad
white satin ribbons.  In it, a recess, where the ceremony was performed, was 
curtained
and canopied with smilax, from the center of which was suspended a wedding 
bell of
bride's roses, which also drooped in fragrant clusters on either side, and 
was illuminated
with tall white candles in graceful holders.  Stately palms banded together 
with wide satin
ribbons of white stood at the sides and white satin cushions lay on the 
raised dias.  An
attractive room was the library, done in yellow jonquils and ?ags, 
intertwined with
smilax.  The music room decorations were of pink roses in enormous clusters 
and
intertwined with the smilax portiers, which were tied back with bands of the 
white satin
ribbon.  [More of the house decorations are omitted here…]

Before the entrance of the bridal party and while the guests were arriving, 
Miss Verna
Jones of Plano, Tex., sang Halevy's "Call Me Thine Own."  Mr. Heintz Braun

[the bridal
gown is described next]  The groom and his best man, Mr. Harry Fagin of 
Cincinnati,
Ohio, descended the stair first, leading the bridal procession.  They were 
followed by Mr.
Walter Beadles, a dear little chap, in a handsome page suit of black velvet 
trimmed with
ruffles and jabot of costly lace, who bore the wedding ring on a white satin 
cushion.
Miss Fannie Laing of Ft. Worth, Tex., the maid of honor, in a white Paris 
muslin, lace
trimmed, and carrying an armful of pink roses, followed the ring bearer, and 
immediately
after her, and preceding the bride, came Miss Jeanette Beadles of Guthrie, 
the flower girl,
who wore a dainty dress of white swiss and lace insertion and carried a 
large basket filled
with rose petals, which she scattered in the path of the bride.  Rev. Graham 
of the
Presbyterian church met the procession in the back of the drawing room and 
read the
Episcopal ring service.

The bride's gifts to her attendants were handsome pearl rings and the 
groom's costly stick
pins.  Mr. Jones' gift to his bride was an exquisite diamond bracelet.  The 
gifts, which
were displayed in the upper hall, and which were received from all parts of 
the States,
were magnificent, many handsome silver and cut glass pieces and exquisitely 
painted

The bride is a handsome blonde of the up to date, athletic type of an 
American society
girl, and belongs to one of the foremost families of the Territory, her 
father having been,
during his lifetime, one of the cattle barons of the west.  Mr. Jones is a 
distinguished
member of the Idaho and Colorado bar and a mining capitalist, besides being 
a well
known club and society man.  The only regret which attends the happy affair 
is that it
takes the bride, who is a universal favorite, from Oklahoma City.

A JUNE WEDDING

OKLAHOMA CITY REALTY MAN HAS GONE TO SECURE A GEORGIA ROSE.

EVENT OCCURS JUNE 25TH

Miss Dallas of Lagrange, Ga., to Wed Mr. Robert Johnson Hill of Oklahoma 
City on
That Date.

Mr. Robert J. Hill, a prominent and popular young real estate agent of this 
city, recently
departed for Atlanta, Ga., ostensibly for a visit with friends and 
relatives.  That the
journey is fraught with more serious import may be determined from the 
following, from
a recent issue of the Journal of that city:

Mr. and Mrs. George E. Dalils, of LaGrange, announce the engagement of their 
daughter,
Ethel, to Mr. Robert Johnson Hill, formerly of Atlanta, now of Oklahoma.  
The marriage
will be solemnized June 25, at the bride's beautiful old colonial mansion in 
LaGrange.

Miss Dallis is the only daughter of the family.  Her father is a capitalist 
of prominence
and influence, and her mother, who was a Miss Ren??er, of Greenville, 
represents one of
the oldest families in the south.

Mr. Hill, the son of Mrs. J. Hill of Greenville, is a grandson of the late 
Chief Justice
Hiram Warner, who is well remembered throughout George and especially 
Atlanta,
where he made his home for many years.  Mr. Hill was graduated several years 
ago from
Emory college, going shortly afterwards to Oklahoma where he has entered the 
real estate
business and where he will take his bride to reside.  Mr. Hill is at present 
with his sister,
Mrs. E.W. Martin, on Washington street.

On yesterday the sequel to a very pretty romance was enacted when Miss Irene 
Bowers
was married to Mr. Harry L. Fagan of Beaumont, Tex.  On May the eleventh Mr. 
Fagan
was best man at the marriage of his friend, Mr. I.T. Jones, who married Miss 
Veta
McClure.  Here he first met Miss Bowers and it was a case of mutual love at 
first sight.
Mr. Fagan lingered after the other wedding guests had departed and before he 
left had
won the promise that Miss Bowers redeemed on yesterday—the promise that she 
would
be his wife.  The wedding was very simple and quiet, being celebrated at 
2:30 by Rev.
Graham, pastor of the Presbyterian church, of which the bride is a member.  
The bride
was gowned in a grey traveling dress, the young couple leaving on the 
afternoon Santa Fe
for California where they will remain a few weeks, afterwards visiting 
Colorado Springs
and Denver and making a visit to Oklahoma City before taking up their 
residence at
Beaumont, Texas.  Besides the immediate family connections of the bride 
attending the
wedding were Miss Milner, Miss Richard, Miss Gardner, Dr. and Mrs. Miller 
and Mr.
I.T. Jones.  The bride is well known, well loved and has many friends here.  
She is
brilliant and pleasant, one of the society girls of the city and very 
popular.  Her literary
work on the Times-Journal has been of a high order and her absence on the 
staff will be
felt.  Mr. Fagan is a well known western capitalist and president of the 
Fagan
Development company of Beaumont, Tex.  Prior to his operations in Texas he 
was a
mining broker at Colorado Springs, Colo.

STILLWATER EDITOR MARRIED.

Mr. I.O. Diggs and Miss Blanche Wise of Stillwater, Okla., who were married 
last
evening
[separate photos of each with this article]
Stillwater, Okla., June 24.—Mr. I.O. Diggs, editor and proprietor of the 
Stillwater
Democrat, was married to Miss Blanche Wise of this city last evening.

The wedding took place in the M.E. church, the impressive ceremony was 
pronounced by
Rev. Sam G. Thompson, of Oklahoma City, in the presence of a large gathering 
of
friends who, anxious to show their esteem for the young people, exerted 
every energy and
to a queen's taste decorated the interior of the church and the scene was 
added to in
attractiveness when the handsomely attired bride and groom stood before the 
altar.  It was
a quiet, pretty church wedding, with no reception.

Mr. Diggs and his wife departed on their bridal trip at once, their 
objective ???? being his
parents'  home in grand old Missouri, where his friends are ???? to offer 
the hand of
congratulations.

This marriage is the happy culmination of a courtship which was watched with 
interest,
hopeful that time would bring them to this relation that it is trusted will 
be filled with
perfect happiness.  The bride is well known in social circles and among the 
educators of
the city of Stillwater, she having taught in the Jefferson school here for 
the past year.  She
is a sweet young woman of education, culture, refinement and endowed with 
all the
graces that make an attractive womanly woman.  Close acquaintance with the 
groom
warrants the saying that not a better Christian character could be found, 
good natured,
kind disposition, genial, of excellent business and social qualifications, 
he will make a
model benedict.  For three years he has been the editor and publisher of the 
Stillwater
Democrat and no man stands higher in the local business world than this 
young publisher.

It is hoped that their pathway through life may be strewn with flowers of 
sweetest
fragrance.

for himself a home in their midst, and his bride will be welcomed by many

friends.

AN ODD MARRIAGE

PLEAD GUILTY OF OFFENSE IN POLICE COURT, PAID FINE AND WERE WED.

CAME FROM BRIDGEPORT
O.T. McKinnes and Grace White End an Escapade of Dalliance in a Manner 
Perhaps "the
Best Way."
An odd marriage occurred in the private office of the Chief of Police 
Emerick at about
half past five o'clock yesterday evening, the ceremony being performed by 
Police Judge
Stephenson immediately after the adjournment of police court.

The principals in the event were Mr. O.T. McKinnes, age 22, and Miss Grace 
White, age
19, both of Bridgeport, Okla.

A young man by the name of J.H. Glenn arrived in the city yesterday from 
Bridgeport,
and going direct to police headquarters, asked police assistance in locating 
one O.T.
McKinnes.  He said that the latter had left Bridgeport taking away with him 
a revolver, a
diamond ring, and some night shirts, neckties, etc., which belonged to 
Glenn.

The police soon located McKinnes at Hotel Lee and found that he had come to 
the hotel
on Sunday evening, accompanied with a young woman whom the hotel people 
believed
to be his wife, as he had written on the register, "D.M. Bradley and wife, 
N.O."  While
Glenn and the police were in the lobby of the hotel, "Mrs. Bradley" was seen 
coming
down the stairs and was identified as Miss Grace White, the daughter of a 
carpenter at
Bridgeport.  She was placed under arrest and accompanied the policemen to 
her room,
where "Mr. Bradley" was found and identified as O.T. McKinnes.

The couple had been occupying the room together since Sunday evening, and 
were taken
to the police station and a charge filed against them fitting the situation.

The young people appeared in police court at five o'clock and pleaded guilty 
to the
charge.  McKinnes was assessed $13 and the young woman $6, and McKinnes 
promptly
paid the total amount.  They were then conducted to the private office of 
the chief of
police.  While there, Assistant Chief Brown came in and recognized the girl 
as one he had
known as a child in Missour and that she belonged to an eminently 
respectable family.
When he learned the particulars concerning their escapade he suggested that 
McKinnes
procure a wedding license and right the wrong he had done the girl.  
McKinnes seemed to
take to the idea and gave his assent.  The document was secured.  The rest 
has been told.

The young people were pleased and it is probably they left town soon after, 
as McKinnes
settled his account at the hotel and they disappeared immediately.

Glenn, the man who had caused their arrest did not see fit to follow up the 
case, believing
that McKinnes would square things at the first opportunity.

The young couple were well dressed and of good appearance.  Both seemed 
considerably
frightened at the notoriety created by their escapade.  McKinnes is a 
beardless blonde and
wore a natty business suit of gray.  The girl was attired in a white waist, 
black skirt and
wore a fashionable hat.  She was much embarrassed in police court and spoke 
scarcely
above a whisper.

The whereabouts of the couple at this time is not known, but it is believed 
they left the
city.

WEDDED AT CHICKASHA

Young Couple Met Through Agency of Matrimonial Paper.
Chickasha, I.T., Aug. 22.—Mr. Harry Mallon, a leading business man of 
Anadarko, and
Miss Nan Church, of Mount Pleasant, Maine, were united in marriage at high 
noon
yesterday by J.W. Speake, United States district clerk, at the Schafer 
house.

There is something of a romance attached to the marriage, as the couple 
never met until a
few hours before the ceremony.  Their courtship was carried on for over a 
year by
correspondence, they having heard of each other through the ministrations of 
a
matrimonial journal, "The Helping Hand," published at Chicago.  The 
correspondence led
to an exchange of photos, and the more they wrote to each other the better 
they were
pleased.  When they met their mutual conceptions of each other were 
satisfied, and they
proceeded to complete the business of the occasion.  The groom is about 35, 
the bride 30.

Mr. Mallon is an old railroad conductor, but at present is engaged in the 
mercantile
business at Anadarko.  The bride is a prepossessing young woman.

CULLIMORE-SHARP.

A pretty home wedding with such a charming touch of romance was that of Miss 
Virginia
Sharp and Dr. Grant Cullimore, which was celebrated at Kirksville, Mo., 
Monday
morning.

Miss Sharp has spent the past winter and spring here with her sister, Mrs. 
J.S. Corley.
She has taught in the public schools and was to have again resumed her 
duties here this
fall and was at her home at Kirksville taking a summer course of study to 
better fit her for
her work when the wedding occurred.  Dr. Cullimore, whose devotion to Miss 
Sharp was
well known, left Wednesday on a "business" trip to Kirksville, as he told 
his friends, and
there persuaded Miss Sharp that any further delay was useless, so between 
Saturday and
Monday the wedding was arranged.  It occurred at the home of the bride, her 
father, Rev.
G.W. Sharp, for years the minister of the Presbyterian church, one of the 
largest and most
influential in the city, performing the ceremony, which occurred at 9:30 on 
Monday
morning.  The bride looked very sweet in just a simple little white frock, 
which was a
part of her girlhood's wardrobe, and carrying a bunch of white garden 
asters.  Everything
was unaffectedly simple and homelike, and as Mrs. J.S. Corley and her four 
children of
this city, Mrs. George B. Simpson of Kansas City and her daughter, Virginia, 
and Miss
Grace Sharp, were present, all the family were at the wedding in spite of 
its impromptu
character.

Dr. and Mrs. Cullimore left Monday afternoon for Oklahoma City, reaching 
here
Tuesday.  They are at home to their friends at Mrs. Jones', corner of 
Eleventh and
Broadway, where they have apartments.  Later when their plans have had more 
time to
mature they will begin housekeeping.

The bride is very popular at her Kirksville home and here at Oklahoma City.  
She is an
attractive, vivacious brunette, a splendid musician and possesses an 
exceptional
education.  Dr. Cullimore is an oculist of the enviable ability and fame, 
and is one of the
foremost citizens of Oklahoma City, having scores of friends and admirers.  
He is a
cultured and scholarly gentleman.

Richard M.
Lester, a young attorney of Tishomingo, I.T., were married last evening at 
the residence
of the bride's parents, corner of Robinson and Fifth, in the presence of a 
large number of
relatives and friends.

The house was beautifully trimmed with flowers, the east drawing room, where 
the
ceremony was performed, being done in green and white.  An altar was 
constructed at the
end of the room of southern smilax, white clematis vines and blossoms and 
tall palms.  A
large wedding bell of white roses was suspended over the altar and broad 
white satin
ribbons attached to the altar rail were carried through lines of palms to 
the door through
which the bridal party entered, where they were tied in big bows.

Miss Mabel Crawford and Prof. Meyer played Mendelssohn's wedding march, to 
the
strains of which the bridal party advanced to the altar, little Miss 
Constance Ball of San
Antonio, Tex., the pretty dark eyed and ringleted niece of the bride 
leading.  She was
gowned in a slip of white Paris muslin and carried a chip hat filled with 
rose leaves,
which were sattered before the advancing bride.  The maid of honor, Miss 
Hallie Cooke,
another niece of the bride, came next.  She was dressed in a handsome frock 
of white silk,
with yoke and trimmings of seed pearls, and carried a large shower boquet of 
pink
carnations.  The bride, leaning on the arm of her father, followed.  The 
bridal robe was of
white crepe, inset with medallions of rare old lace, made high and with a 
softly falling
train.  The bride wore a tulle veil caught up gracefully with a diamond 
sunburst, and
looked very beautiful.  She carried a shower boquet of white carnations and 
ferns.  The
groom met the bridal party at the altar and was accompanied by Mr. George 
Cooke, who
was the best man.  Rev. Arthur Higbee of St. Paul's Episcopal church 
performed the
beautiful ring service of the church, Miss Crawford and Mr. Meyer playing 
softly while
the words were pronounced.  After the ceremony the flower girl, little Miss 
Ball, untied
the satin ribbons forming the aisle and laid them back upon the altar and 
the many friends
and relatives of the newly married pair pressed forward and offered 
congratulations.

The second drawing room and music room were done in yellow, while the dining 
room
was again in white and green.  Here ices and cakes were served being in the 
heart shapes
and of the color scheme.  The bride cut a large cake, decorated with white 
and green
hearts, and the best man, Mr. George Cooke, drew a ring, which indicates 
that he will be
the next of the assembled party to approach the altar.  Miss Lincoln drew a 
button and
Miss Richardson a thimble, which would be construed that their reigns as 
bachelor girls
are to continue uninterrupted.

the groom's
parents; Mr. and Mrs. R.L. Ball and daughter Constance of San Antonio, Tex.;

The groom's gift to his bride was a handsome piano, and gifts were also 
received from
relatives and friends in magnificent numbers and exceptional beauty; chests 
of solid
silver and a solid silver tea service being some of the gifts bestowed bum 
ear relatives.
Pictures, cut glass, china and rare pottery made the gift room a brilliant 
scene.

once begin

bride.

The bride belongs to one of the oldest and most prominent families of

friends here.

Groom Manager of a Mill at Mulberry, Arkansas.

Stroud, Okla., Sept. 10.—At the home of the bride's parents in this city

residence had
been beautifully decorated for the occasion.  The color scheme that was 
carried out in all

was an altar of
cedars and ferns under a canopy of white smilax, from which depended the 
wedding bell
of white carnations.

The bride wore a beautiful gown of white muslin over taffeta, with a long 
silk
embroidered veil.

The ceremony, which was performed by Rev. J.A.B. Ogilvee, was without doubt

march the
wedding party entered the parlor and walked to the altar down an aisle 
formed of white
and pink ribbons held by four little girls in white.  There were no 
bridesmaids and no best
man, and the guests were mostly relatives of the two young people.

Among the out of town guests were Hon. C.B. Ames and Mrs. Ames of Oklahoma

THE GIRL WAS UNDER AGE

John Balked on Proposition of Securing Maternal Consent and That is How a 
Mighty
Hope was Blasted.

Big John Burgess is today enlisted in the army of disconsolates.  Having 
been for ??,
these many years a bachelor, it was thought by his friends he was proof 
against the wilfe
of Dan??? Cupid.  But Burgess thought to spring an agreeable surprise upon 
his friends
yesterday, and the fact that his plans miscarried he attributes to the red 
tape regulations of
the laws relating to the marital process.

Yesterday morning the three hundred and odd pounds averdupois constituting 
the
corporosity of the subject of this sketch squeezed through the doorway 
leading into the
office of the probate court, and after sparring a few moments for wind, 
announced that a
marriage permit was desired.

Opening the big book labeled "Marriage Record," the probate clerk, with pen 
in hand,
inquired:

"Give your name, age and place of residence."

Somewhat nervous and excited, the applicant responded:

"John W. Burgess, age 44, residence Oklahoma City."

"Now, the lady's name?  inquired Probate Clerk Hurry.

"Velma Wheatley, age 17, residence Oklahoma City," came the response.

"Have you the written consent of the parents?" asked the clerk.

"Is that necessary?"

"Yes; the young lady is not of age."

"It's all off, then," replied the applicant, with waning enthusiasm and a 
crestfallen
countenance.  "Here I've been debatin' this marriage question for more than 
forty years,
and when at last I work myself up to the point of doubling up, the law, 
instead of lending
encouragement as it ought to do, confronts me with a lot of red tape 
proceedings and
discourages enterprise.  I'm not goin' up to Missouri to ask her mother 
about it.  I'm all in
right now."

With this the weighty John lumbered out of the court room with the air of 
Napoleon on
the retreat from Moscow, of one who had experienced the blighting of mighty 
hopes.

On Again.
Later information is to the effect that Mr. Burgess and Miss Wheatley were 
married at El
Reno late yesterday afternoon.  They arrived home last night and were 
congratulated by
their friends here.

Past Finding Out.

(Enid Wave.)

It seems strange that Miss Ruth Bryan would choose a second-handed husband,

is what she has done.  Mr. William Horner Leavitt was married when 22 years

Newport lady, who died a year later.  He is now 32 years of age.  The wisest 
kind of a

select. But Ruth
loves Bill and that settles it.

GUILTY OF BIGAMY

ROBERT E. CARLYLE, ALIAS SHELDON, WAS THRICE MARRIED.

Jury Quickly Returned Verdict of Guilty and Prisoner Will Probably Get Full 
Limit of
Law.

Kingfisher, O.T., Oct. 20.—At the October term of the district court, which 
convened in
this city Monday, October ?2, the grand jury being duly empaneled, found and 
returned
an indictment against Robert E. Carlyle, alias Shelden, charging him with 
bigamy.  He
was called to the bar Monday to plead to the indictment and pleaded not 
guilty and asked
immediate trial.  A jury was empaneled after a special venire for five 
jurymen had been
issued, and the ???ing of the testimony commenced Monday afternoon at 2 
o'clock.

After hearing all the testimony the jury was instructed by the court, and 
departed for the
jury room at 5 o'clock this afternoon.  They were only out about thirty when 
the court
was informed that they had arrived at a verdict, and marching into the court 
they handed
the court the verdict which found that Robert E. Carlyle was guilty as 
charged in the
indictment.

Section 2182 of Article 31, chapter 25 of the statutes of Oklahoma of 1898, 
says:  "Every
person guilty of bigamy punishable by imprisonment in the territorial prison 
not
exceeding five years.

Sentence will be pronounced by the court Saturday, giving the defendant in 
all
probability, the limit of the law.

The defendant, in some way, received three files while in jail here, and 
taking the spring
out of a small alarm clock, made three saws and before he was found out, had 
sawed two
of the prison bars on the outside of the county jail.  Only one more bar 
stood between him
and liberty, but a boy who was an inmate of the jail, peached, and the 
delivery was
nipped in the bud.

Carlyle married Stella Anderson, daughter of H.H. Anderson of this city, 
April 3d, 1902,
and had prior to that time married a girl in Little Rock, Ark.

On the witness stand in his own defense, Carlyle stated that he was married 
to a girl in
Memphis, Tenn., in 1898.  The first wife, as claimed by him, was not 
present, but his
second and third wife were in court, interested spectators and witnesses.

Mr. Bennett, accompanied by his father, Mr. G.W. Bennett, had departed for 
Eureka
yesterday, came as a total surprise to his many friends here.  He has been 
one of society's
most reliable bachelors and his resolution to become a benedict was kept 
from his nearast
and dearest friends.

All wedding are built about a romance, but in this case it is a particularly 
prêt ???? it
about Mr. Bennett's meeting his bride last summer at Gueda Springs, Kanasas, 
where
both spent some time.  Love at first sight resulted and the wedding, this 
evening will
close a pretty courtship.

CHICKASHA.

ESTES-SACK NUPTIALS.

The marriage of Miss Olga G. Sack and Mr. Rufus Paul Estes was solemnized 
Thursday
at high noon at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. I.T. 
Wimple, who reside
on South Seventh street.  Rev. Ray of the M.E. church was the officiating 
clergyman.  It
was an exceedingly attractive home wedding, the apartments being beautifully 
decorated,
darkened and lighted by many electric lights.  The reception room was 
profusely
decorated with gorgeous American Beauties and ropes of red satin ribbon.  
The ceremony
was performed in the front parlor, before a beautiful altar of potted 
plants, Japanese
chrysanthemums and palms, while overhead hung feathery festoons of maiden 
hair ferns,
tied with a large true-lover's knot of white satin ribbon.  The bride was 
beautiful in her
wedding gown of white silk grenadine over white taffeta, with trimmings of 
Irish point
medallions, satin ribbon and chiffon, and carried a shower bouquet of 
exquisite Bride
roses.  Mrs. A.J. Everett, sister of the brid, was matron of honor, and was 
handsomely
gowned in cream crepe de chine, with trimmings of jeweled appliqué and blue 
panne.  At
the conclusion of a most impressive ceremony, and after congratulations, the 
guests were
ushered to the dining room, where an elaborate nine-course dinner was 
served.  This
room was perhaps the most beautifully decorated of all, the colors pink and 
white
predominating.  Festoons hung from the walls and every available nook was 
banked with
fragrant carnations and lovely palms.  Large vases of carnations adorned the 
dining table,
and a center-piece of luscious fruit, carnations and ferns added much to its 
beauty.
Mesdame Ben Brooks and W.M. Edwards most ably assisted Mrs. Wimple in this
apartment.  As the guests left the dining room, each one was presented with 
a dainty
silver cup engraved with the words, "Chickasha, Dec. 10, 1903," and tied 
with the bride's
colors.  The bride is a bright and charming young lady and has many warm 
friends here.
The groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Estes of this city and is a 
rising and
promising young railroad man.  Many handsome and useful presents were 
received from
both Chickasha and out-of-town friends.  Mr. and Mrs. Estes will be at home 
to their
friends at the elegantly furnished cottage on Colorado avenue.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed Estes entertained Friday with a charming dinner party
