Novel and Interesting Occurrence on

81. Louis Republican
When a young man decides to plunge
into the uncertain sea of matrimony at a
certain previously specified time, ii usu-
ally requires an exceedingly able-bodied
obstacle TO prevent him from carrying out
his fell purpose-that is, of course, if he
is young man Of any nerve whatever.
The truth of this statement was exempli-
fed on Tuesday by the marriage of Mr..
J. r. MCGOWAN, of Springfield, H., TO Miss
Bertha Hill, Of Mclean county, Ill. The
ceremony took place on a Chicago and
Alton passenger train between Atlanta
and McLeansboro and the details of the
event were related yesterday by conduc-
tor Maurice w. Clark, who was in charge
of the train.
1t appears that Mr.. MCGOWAN had been
courting Miss Hill long enough TO acquire
the conviction that she was intended for
his wife, and mutually they decided to
have the ceremony performed on Tues
day. lie therefore secured marriage
license in Sangamon county and started
for the home of his intended in Mclean
county. On his arrival there he consult
ed with Rev. James I. Orr, the clergyman
selected to perform the ceremony, and
found that the license would not work in
Mclean county, as it was only good in
the county in which it was issued. Here
was predicament. The idea of postpon-
ing the wedding until new license could
be secured was not to be entertained for
an instant. The marriage had been set
for Tuesday and the prospective bride
groom was determined that it should take
place on that day according to program.
Accompanied by the prospective bride
and the clergyman he boarded train
going in the direction of Springfield and
informing Conductor Clark of the nature
of the case, told him to inform him Me
Cowan) when the train had passed with
in the borders of Sangamon county. The
bridal party took seats in Pullman car
and at 800 o'clock the conductor an
nounced that they had reached the prom
ised land. Thereupon the party arose
and in a loud voice the clergyman per
formed the ceremony which made Miss
Hill Mrs. MCGOWAN. The car was well
filed, and the passengers witnessed the
marriage with evident enjoyment, ex-
tending their hearty congratulations to
the now happy couple The party left
the train at Springfield after thanking the
conductor for his courtesy and the pas
sengers for their good wishes.

CONSUMPTION.

1t is said that $4,000 people die an.
nually in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is
from Consumption. This can be, and
should be avoided; our people are too
careless about an ordinary cough OF
cold, and other symptoms of throat
and lung affections that lead to this
disease. You should arrest it while
it is in the germ. Two or three doses
of DIR. Bosanko's Cough and Lung Syr-
up will relieve an ordinary cough or
cold. 1t does not dry up cough like
many preparations on the market and
leave the disease behind it but acts
directly on the throat and bronchial
tubes, removing all the phiegm and
morbid matter that accumulates in
the throat and lungs. 1t allays all ir-
ritation, and renders the voice clear
and distinct. Sold by r. S. Freeman.

AGRICULTURAL AND REFUSE SALT
Few know the difference between agri-
cultural salt, proper and refuse salt.
Until of late years only refuse salt
was used for fertilization purposes.
This is dirty salt, and may be coarse,
common or dairy, or all these mixed
together with more or less dirt. A
great deal of common fine or common
barrel salt is used in the West, it
having some kind of dirty material
mixed with it to spoil it for ordinary
uses. Agricultural salt is made from
the brine just as it is pumped from
the wells, without any settling or pur-
living whatever. 1t contains all the
impurities of the water, including a
small amount of iron, some plaster
and about two and half per cent. of
potash. The chemists say that these
impurities make the agricultural salt
worth one dollar ton more for fer
tilizing purposes than refuse salt is
worth. The quotations, however,
are 1896 per ton for agricultural salt.
at the works, by the carload of twelve
or fifteen tons in bulk and 1886 for
refuse or dirty salt. As with other
fertilizers, it is easy to determine
whether salt will be beneficial to the
soil by trying it in small quantities.
No fertilizer is of any value on soil
where it is not needed. Hence, the
many disappointments that follow the
use of commercial fertilizers. 1t is
not because the fertilizer is not good,
but because it is not needed. In one
of the dairyman conventions, a gen.
tleman said that heaps of horse ma
nure, which usually fire-fang and be-
come worthless, can be perfectly pre-
served and prevented from ferment-
ing by throwing little salt in each
day as it is thrown out of the stable.
We think the hint worth considera.
tion.-Er.
