AN OLD STORY.

The Peoria Journal gives vent to the
following anent the smallpox experience
of this city which is hardly in accordance
with existing facts Rock Island, having
now swept her house of infection, and
garnished it anew, admits that she has
had fourteen cases of smallpox in her
midst, during the recent reign of that
scourge in these parts During the prev
alence of the disease it was hard to find
mention of one case in her daily papers.
Peoria has had a solitary case, which was
blaZoned to this wide world by the papers,
and no man in her midst said nay; bust
ness and everything else interested taking
the consequences. We are proud of our
record the past year regarding the plague;
proud of our almost entire freedom from
the disease, and also of our exceeding
frankness in publishing the fact, when we
did have case.

The Dwelling House OF Richard
Is. Cochran Totally DesirOyed-
Marrow Escape Of the Inmates.

Sometime during last night or early
this morning, the dwelling house owned
aud occupied by Richard r. Cochran,
situated on the road between Sassa
tras and NJ Massey's cross roads, about Q
miles north of Middletown, was totally
consumed by ire. The ire was caused
by defective tlue in the kitchen. The
flames soon communicated to other
parts of the house aud in short time,
before anything could be done, the
house, together with most of its con-
tents, was smouldering mass of
ruins. The occupants of the house
were all asleep at the time, but were
awakened by il dense volume OF smoke,
when they hastily dressed and made
their escape and succeeded in saving
part of the furniture.
The h juse WAS a two and half story
frame, recently re-modeled and was
considered liao country residence.
The exact amount Of the loss sustained
could not he ascertained, but the build.
ing is thought to be fully insured. Mr..
Cochran and his family found refnge
in the house of neighbor, after tne
fire. The burned building will be re-
built Immediately. The light from the
fire could be plainly seen in Middle

How to Secure Good Husbands.

Among the Zuni Indians, who have
recently come to the front by coming
east for ocean water, there is said to be
social custom that might be worth
adopting in more civilized circles. In
Zuniland the houses belong to the
women instead of the men, 80 a man
can marry without tirst being obliged
to buy, or hire house; marrying men
are therefore abundant among the
u ,nis. On the other hand, man who
marries can occupy his wife's house
during good behavior, the wife having
always the right to put an unsatistac'
tory man out of doors This is a privi.
lege that would raise many an Ameri-
can wife from abject slavery to the
rank ofequal partner in the conjugal
firm. But, whether tor husband or
wife, the Zuni plan is an advantageous
one; it encourages early marriages, as
sures every woman of home, 80 that
she eed not marry merely to get one,
andit keeps husbands in order for almost
any man will behave himself ii BY so
doing he can avoid the onerous duty
of paying house rent.-New York Her.
