Madame RaEor SAYS tia. las:
Monday morning, the mother OF one
Of Clarinda's most beautiful young
ladies met young man, who had
been setting up" with said young
lady, Just as he was emerging from
he parlor into the hall, aud very pc
fitely urged him not to be in hurry
aud if he would remain few minutes
longer. breakfast would be ready.
Clarinda has had a sensation. A
couple arrived there on Tuesday eve
ming to be married a. some point on
the road the nnxt day. The hotel
was SO full that there was but one
vacant room and bed in the house,
and IT was discovered they must eth
er marry OF sit up all night. They
determined to marry--the county
clerk was hunted ND and a license
procured--the minister routed up
out Of bed, and at 'the wiching hour
OF midnight they were made twain,
and thereby had the privilege OF oc-
cupying the same room without fear
Of law or reproach.
They have got the girl of the Pc
Rod in Des Moines. She is of Swed-
ish origin and robust in form. A
Young man pursued her in a dark
place on Sunday evening, and, catch
ing up with her, made insulting pro-
posals. Quick as thought the girl
turned about and sliced him. With
one blow she knocked him down as
completely as if mule had kicked
him. Then she kneeled on his pros.
irate form and pummeled the whelp
until he begged for mercy, CRYING
like child. When he did this, wo.
man like, she relented and permit
ted him to depart, instead Of turning
him over to the police.
