TRUESDELL-HOFFHINES MARRIAGE:

Yesterday at high noon occurred the wedding
of MR. LAMBERT S. TRUESDELL,
of Des Moines, and MISS AMIE R. HOFFHINES, at
the elegant home of the
bride's parents in this city.

Just as the clock struck twelve, the bridal
party entered the parlor
while the "Norwegian Bridal Procession" was
played on the piano by Miss
Lulu Mowatt of Sigourney, and stopped under a
large ball of
chrysanthemums suspended in the south bay
window. Rev. Geo. M. Hughes
stepped forward, and with one of the most
beautiful and impressive
marriage ceremonies we have ever listened to,
pronounced them man and
wife. The ring ceremony was used and at the
proper time little SCOTT
ROBINSON came forward with a silk pillow on
which rested a beautiful
diamond ring. At the close of the ceremony,
by a clever contrivance,
the ball above the heads of the happy couple
opened and scattered roses
over them.

The bride was dressed in cream brocaded silk
and carried bride's roses.
The groom wore the conventional black dress
suit.

The bride's sister, MISS LANELLE acted as
bridesmaid, dressed in white
satin, and MR. SAM BOWMAN was best man.

The groom, while a comparative stranger to
most of our citizens, is well
known to several of them. He is a native of
the state of Wisconsin,
where his father was one of the leading
members of the bar.
He was educated at Berlin, and after spending
four or five years in
teaching, adopted journalism for a profession
and was for ten years,
Editor of the LaCrosse Daily Leader, one of
the leading papers of the
state. While thus engaged he was elected
Clerk of the Wisconsin
Senate. Three years ago he came to Des
Moines, in the interest of
special advertising manager of the Des Moines
Daily Leader.

The bride is one of Leon's fairest flowers,
where she has grown from
infancy to womanhood, being the eldest
daughter of MR. and MRS. JONAS
HOFFHINES. She has always enjoyed the
friendship of a large circle, not
only in Leon but all over southern Iowa, and
will make a model wife for
the man of her choice.

An elegant wedding breakfast was served, over
l00 guests being seated.

The newly married couple took the afternoon
train for Chariton, where a
reception was tendered them in the evening by
Mrs. R.H. McCollough, and
then took the night train for Chicago to
spend their honeymoon, after
which they will return to Des Moines, where
they will be "At home" to
their friends at 622 Sixth Ave. after Dec.
l5th.

They were the recipients of many elegant and
costly wedding presents,
tokens of the high esteem in which they were
held by their friends.

The guests from abroad were MR. and MRS. L.H.
TRUESDELL, Perry, Iowa;
MR. and MRS. L.S. ROBINSON, Glenwood; MRS.
W.E. LEWIS, MRS. JAY J.
SMYTHE, MRS. R.H. MCCOLLOUGH, Chariton; MISS
LULU MOWATT, Sigourney; MR.
CHAS. H. SIMMONS, Council Bluffs.
