OREGON WooIKG AND WEDDING
Speaking of a sloigh.ride to Sebewa a
short tina since, the Portland Observ-
or" says -
Norman Carpenter and Laura Meal
lister date their happiness from one
Friday evening after they had started
for singing school. For some distance
the conversation was brisk, until Laura
became absorbed In looking at figure
on the dashboard, and Norman in the
antics OF curl that had somehow stray
ed from under Laura's bonnet. She
was about to allude for the thirteenth
tune TO the weather, when the fascna-
tion of that curl prompted him to lean
over toward her and whisper in his
sweetest tones, Laura. I'll stump
you to get married." That was a pro-
ser, but she was equal to the occasion.
A SMILE wrinkled the corners Of her
mouth as 1t came into view under the
bonnet, and she laughngly said.-
"NOrm, you dars'nt do it, Norman
and Laura rubbed their moses together,
and turned their horse toward the Rev.
Mr. Aliens. A few moments corver-
satIon with that gentleman sufficed to
CONVINCE laura that Norman was'n nj
fooling bit. A fifty cent scrip was
pressed into the parson's reluctant
hand, and the happy pair started home.

An Interesting Whisky Case.

Quite an interesting whisky case comes
here on change of venue from Whiteside
county,-the case of Malvina Pape VS..
Kilgore, Dodge and Johnson-three saloon
keepers in Fulton. The story is this: On
November oath, 1874. John Pape, the
husband of the plaintiff, who lived on
small farm in Whiteside county, started
to his home from Fulton, attempting to
drive span Of horses and a lumber
wagon. He was intoxicated, and was
thrown from the wagon, run over and
killcd-leaying six children. all minors, to
derive their support solely from the
plaintiff. Each defendant kept a saloon in
Fulton. The plaintiff alleges that she was
united in marriage to John 'Pape on the
9th day of December, 1860, and that her
husband. following the pursuits of farming.
on the farm above referred to, derived an
income sufficient to support his family
comfortably; that, up to the LIST day of
july he was possessed of moderate mears
in adli ia to what was necessary for the
: conif.r! Of lis family, but frotn that time
to the day Of lis death he was an habitual
drunkard, not only failing to earn liveli
hood for himself and family, but squander-
ing the means he had previously accumu
lated, and parting with portion of his
farm-all for drink obtained from the de-
PENDANTS at their respective dram-shops
that each of the defendants had sold him
liquor on the day of his death, the same
having made him drunken, and being the
direct cause of the fatal accident which oc-
CURED to him. that by his degradation, as
well in mind as in body, and his subse
}quent death, the plaintiff and her six
minor children were deprived of their sole
source of support, the plaintiff being
obliged, by the labor of her own hands, tc
, derive maintenance for herself and hel
children. Damages are therefore claimed
, in the sum Of $4,000.
The attorneys present, attending to the
, case are as follows:
, For plaintif-Hon, James Shaw, of Mt
, CARROLL j. @. Wing, of Monticello, Iowa
, and Sweeney & Jackson of this city.
t For defendant-J. A. Mccoy & Son, o

They are WORRIED,

The water board ring, not satisfied with
forcing upon the people of this city heavy
debt without their consent and withou,
even consulting them; not satisfied with
forcing upon them system of water works
which runs them in debt aud increases
their taxes every year; not satisfied with
doing a miserable, boyish job of work,
which had to be done over again, they
still further abuse the position they are
Incompetent to fill, by undertaking to over
ride the peoples representative and usurp
power which the law and the people have
placed in his hands. Their last move was
to attempt to force money out of the PEG.
pies treasury contrary to law. Finding
their reckless scheme thwarted by an
honest mayor, who regarded the law and
his oath of Office, they then bring suit
against the people and propose to compel
the people to pay for law suit which they
have brought against the people. They
endeavored, for long time, to drive the
mayor into bringing suit, but the mayor
was satisfied with his position and could
not be induced to make bills for lawyers
fees and court fees for the people to pay
Finding they couldn't drive him to do that
the water board ring then got up suit
against the people in which they propose
to make the people pay for water boarc
blunders and thus show their water
board spite against the peoples repre-
sentative. That's about the size of th,
case which Mr.. Hawley will attend to il
lbehalf Of the people Of this city.

The Rivex.

Our remarkably mild winter continues.
At this POINT very little ice is to be seen in
the river, and the ferry boat makes its
trips as regular as in the summer. The
river is falling again, and is now less than
g feet above low water mark.
In Sylvan Water, between this city and
Moline, ice has formed inches thick, or
more.
Above Hampton the river is closed over
with ice. At Port Byron they cross with
horses and light wagons. At Cordova
they cross on foot, and probably might do
so with light teams
At Rock river, the ice packers have
commenced work and find, in the still
water of the ponds, ice about inches
thick-a. very convenient thickness to
handle No one need fear that February
will not bring US plenty of good ice.

Of 800, 900, and on land oyer which the
Jurisdiction has been ceded by Illinois to
the United States, but which building is
wholly apart and outside of the plan for the
Rock Island Arsenal buildings 1t was
erected under the plan of Lit. Kingsbury,
who had 20 conception of what was want
ed for an Arsenal. 1t looks more like a
court house than like any thing else, un-
less it be Presbyterian meeting house,
and it is more than half mile away from
the arsenal buildings. 1t is not suitabl e
for arsenal purposes, but is entirely and
admirably adapted to court purposes. The
court can be located here, with a magnif-
cent stone court house already built and
belonging to the United States. and which
is not wanted for any other purpose. 1t
is wholly outside of the grounds enclosed
for arsenal purposes. The guard house is
quite distance up the main avenue, from
this New England meeting house. No
passes are required to reach it, and nc
change in the government plans at the
arsenal would be required to make it as
public as any court house in the land. Ii
is now open and free Of access to the free
street and carriage bridges connecting
this city with Davenport, Iowa, and hun

except the storage of some traps used in

$4,000 clock which keeps excellent time,
and with great bell which grandly rings
out the hours of day and night for the
the ears of $4,000 people now within hear
ing of it. 1t is exactly what is wanted for
United States court house, and it is use
less for any other purpose.
