assigned for this is that the Herald pub
lished false news, but the real cause is be-
lieyed to,be that the paper has lately been

SAUCE FOR AUSTRIA.
All was jubilant last night in Ministerial
circles The coming Congress is at least
definitely settled for the 18th inst, at Ber-
lin. Earl Beaconsfeld, the Marquis of
Salisbury and Lord Russell are to be
members for England. The session is to be
very short. 1t is said Austria will find her
self compelled to take what England and
Russia are willing she should have or stand
alone against united Germany, Russia and
England. This was the tone of the conver!
sation in the lobby of the House of Com.
was absolutely compelled by pecuniary
difficulties to assent to Englands den ands
which are not extravagant.
Russia is now spending 10000 roubles
per day in merely keeping her army in
position, and her difficulty in obtaining
ready money becomes day after day greater
The Liberals, on the other hand, refuse tc
share these views, and insist that when the
Congress convenes fresh trouble will begin
and that it will end in disagreement or in
Russian triumph.
ASSISTANTS APPOINTED.
The Secretaries and other necessary as
sistants to the English Special Congress
Mission have been appointed. The nego
tlations for the ultaneous withdrawal OF
the English fleet and the Russian army fl on
before Constantinople have been aban
doned.

A Creston dispatch of the 18th. says
Events tending to the dissolution of 8
hasty marriage contract occurred
here to-day. 1t appears that Thurs
day evening last G. Caristrom and
Miss Hattie Eggers were married al
the residence of the brides parents
in Lockridge, Jefferson county
Some of the guests were impressed
with the idea that the bride partici
pated in the proceedings with some
reluctance. The couple took the night
train west, and upon their arrival al

time lover in the person of Freight
Conductor Sedgewick. Caristrom il

strste her dislike for the nuptial kno1
just tied, through the fundamentally

throwing herself into the arms of the
more attractive conductor, and de-
handing that he rescue her from hel
obligation. The latter confessed hi
willingness, but seemed afraid of tn,
legal results, and the bridal party
came to Creston. The bride, how
ever, remained here only few hours
when she took the returning train fol
the parental roof. There she wal
met by her Indignant: parents, wht
spurned her from them, the mother
even going SO far as to compel her Il
return to her legal but unloved spous,
by accompanying her daughter to thi
place, where they arrived this morn

tor had preceded them, and to-day, by
the aid Of City Attorney Patterson
arrangements have been made where

the indications are that after brie1

tor will step into his shoes, in spite o.

die in the attempt to prevent the con

The Deuce to Pay.

r..
Reports have come to our ears OF
deeds done in Agency during tho few
months past that would be disgrace
to Red Oak, and we are sorry to say
the doings are not confined to any
class Of men. Old men, young men
and even boys, scarcely yet in theil
teens, are implicated. For the past
year the people of Agency have been
thinking.that we had one Of the most
moral towns in the State, but 1t seems
that the better class of citizens have
allowed themselves 10 be deluded
while another class have been trying
to see how far they could carry their
dissipation and lewdness.

Tho nla Q<a,w

Three or four years ago q fellow
named John II. Williams came 10
Burlington, Iowa, in INDECENT cir.
cumstances and procured work as q
brakeman on the railroad. In short
time he became acquainted with a
gentleman afflicted with rheumat ism,
and by slapping and manipulating
him in magnetic way, relieved him
Of his ailment. Soon after, Williams
launched out as . magnetic doctor,
took rooms at first class hotel and
fiourished like sgreep bay hoss."
There also lived in Burlington Miss
Sadie Corse. one Of the city's aristo-
cratic daughters, who also was afflict-
ed with rheumatism. As a dernier
resort, DR.. Williams was called to
slap and magnetic her, and he did it
SO effectually, that although Williams
had wife living in destitution at
Kansas City, Miss Sadie fell in
love with the doctor. and in q few
weeks they became engaged to be
married. Williams succeeded In get
ting divorce from his wife, and two
weeks thereafter, in October last,
married Miss Sadie, at Chicago, and
started off on a wedding tour, vi.
lSpringfcld, Ills. AT this place thu

Confidence Game.
The confidence operators and mon

by Imprisonment in the penitentiary,
have been little careful about their
operations in this State. However,
once in while they make play, and
usually get away and almost always
go tnpunished.

traveller, we believe, whose name We

nearly heartbroken when the fellow
who got the money ran off and left
