A Girf WHO Changed Her Mind
on Her Wedding Day.

WESTON, w. Vas, December A.-
A recent case of failed.tocome of
wedding occurred in that region
which rejoices in the euponious name
of Big Skin Creek, that surpassed
the caseof the young lady near Cam.
den, who had made all necessary
preparations to elope, but when all
things were ready and the young
gent IN waiting suddenly changed
her mind.
1t seems that in this case the
bright and happy morning Of the
single life of the two young people
was about to merge into the noon of
matrimonial bliss, for the day was
set, about Two dozen guests had as.
sembled andsthe minister, who lived
in sight, had given his tie its final
adjustment preparatory to joining
the throng and sealing the contract,
when all at once the fair young girl
cnncluded'to remain single u little
while longer, and announcing the
fact, causedlthe affair to be indefin-
itely postponed. but failed to assign
any reason for Her act. The gentle.
man in the case is wcll-to.do,- and
may account himself happy that he
was not welded to one Of such tickle
mind.

Silver Coinage.

The President in his message
adopts the notions Of the gold-stand-
ard gentry in reference to silver coin
age and silver certificates, He thinks
the coinage Of silver ohght to be
stopped, and the silver certificates
outstanding be redeemed. In oppo.
sition to these suggestions, the ST..
Louis Republican sensibly remarks:
"As silver and silver certificates have
proved to be very good money and a
useful addition to the sountry's cir
culation, is not easy to make this
Recommendation accord with the ap.
prehensionr expressed in. another
part Of the message about a contrac-
ton Of the national bank circulation
threatened by The rapid reduction Of
The public debt. The President re
CARDS this too rapid reduction Of the
public debt with alarm, because it
must force the banks to call in their
circulation; and yet he looks with
disfavor upon silver coinage which
will fill the place made vacant BY
the disappearance of the bank circu.
lation. He seems to think that bank
notes are better currency than silver
centifcstes-an opinion in which the
people certainly DO not concur"

The Tariff Tax.

1t should not be forgotten, says the
St. Louis Republican, "that the, tariff

it puts on the people and not by the
revenue it yields the government.

cult to make fair estimate of the
cost of the protective system, since it

were issuing from the frame ware.
house in the rear of w. J. 0'Seil g.

formerly occupied by DR.. John Sanns

straw and CHEMICALS The fire de-
paftment were at the FIRE In good
time, and we're making good head
way in subduing the flames when a
section of hose burst. From that mo-
ment the flames passed beyond con.
troll. The frame warehouse few
feet south caught and added its in.
tense heat to the cracking flame
The rear portions of the brick houses
occupied by w. j. 0'Neil & Co.,
drugs, and P. A. Sanns & Son, drugs,
and Harry Frank, clothing, ignited
and became almost total wrecks. All
efforts were now directed to save the
Hutsinpiller building, occupied by
Uhrig 4 Dilcher as the Florentine
Hotel. 1t escaped with but little
damage, though it was several times
on fire. South Of the CABOT building
the ground was not covered by build.

had nothing to feed on.-Joitrnai.

then, is only about fourteen per cent.

the general public is reduced to one.

enough certainly to be taken from
the unprotected thousands and given
to the protected TENS of our popu-

to pay for protection. Let it be re-.
