LOVES LABOR WINS.
How the Old Folks Objections Were
Overcome.
It was even-tide in Belyidere.

tL,well Citizen.
1t was even-tide in Belvidere.
The tide was altl pretty near even In
Centralville, Chapel Hin and other parts of
the city.
Angela Todd stood by the window of her
papa's palatial residence on Nesmith street,
and toyed with the tassel of the heavily
hemstitched curtain. In her clear blue eyes
there was far away look, like that seen in
the eyes of a man in a corner drug store,
waiting for a horse-car.
"Will he never Gomez 7"
The words were spoken deliberately, and
with outward calmness, but there was dis
tinguishable a tone of sadness that told of
an anxious heart, and as she spoke she
jammed back a hairpin that was slipping
out of her back hair, with a movement
touching In the extreme.
For Angela was in love. There was
reciprocity of the tender passion between
herself and Jabez Jubb.
JabeZ was poor, and in debt to his tailor
for year back, ever since he met his fate in
Angela, and commenced to dress up to his
deal but he told her he was smart, and she
believed him. But Angela's proud parents
would have nothing to do with the impecu-
nious youth, and had already In their minds
afiianced her to old Rocks, moribund and
wealthy, who was already paying court to
the lalr GIRL
Angela told all to Jabez, and together
they had bewaied their sad fate. But JabeZ
recovered first, and swore by yonder stars,
that ere next pay day came around, he would
fix up some racket on old Rocks that would
take him out of the race.
And tomorrow is payday, and Angela
stands at the window, looking out into the
night, waiting for Jabez, and wondering If
he will never come.
But she has not long to wait. Her quick
ear catches the sound of shoe nails on the
concrete sidewalk, and with one look to
make sure, she flies to the door and lets In
her lover before he has time to ring the bell
or wipe his feet.
"Have you fixed it 2" she cries, and then
they are folded in each others arms as
Jabez murmurs "You just bet have"
''It is a short story, Daisy" he exclaimed
in passionate tones, "but 1t will do the bust
ness for you and me. / shall have a few
thousand as a starter in life, and old Rocks
will soon be poor man. have sold him

to be levied by the 18th. He will hang on
and be ruined within three months; and we,
we can be married then dear, can't we I"
"Well, l should smle," she whispered,
with tears of joy In her eyes, and they took
to the sofa and smiled at each other far into

Almost an Accident.

Many of the workmen at Bowers,
Dure & Co.'S. and Moir's cannery are
nightly in the habit of crossing the
railroad bridge instead of goiEg over
Eleventh street bridge, which is now
open for travel, TINS running u great
risk of losing their lives. Thursday
evening about quarter past six o'clock,
over 50 persons, men, women and child
rem, were crossing the bridge, when the
Delaware train was coming south,
They paid but very little attention to
the fact. and If IL had not been for the
timely discovery OF the crowd on the
bridge By tie engineer, who reversed
his engine, a terrible loss of life would
have been the consequence. As it WAS
the train was stopped and the bridge
cleared, thus preventing a terrible ca.
lamity. There Is no foot path on this
bridge and signs are erected forbiddiag
anyone to cross, but there are some
people who rush right into the arms Of
death, regardless of all warnings and
then the railroad company Is blamed
for the result. The people who arc in
the habit of crossing this bridge should
desist at ouce before some of them are
injured or killed by passing trains.
Any one who is injured or loses his
lie on this bridge cannot held the rail
road responsible for the occurrence. 1t
is hoped this timely warning will be
needed by all who work in this vicin-
ity.

The Waters hssuaw1uR,

The rivers fell slightly at Memphis
and Helena yesterday, and there was a
feeling of relief at the latter place. A
new levee near Lake Charles broke in
several places on Thursday morning,
and the workmen encamped upon it,
barely escaped with their lives. The
news from the interior counties OF Ar
kansas and Mississippi continues very
gloomy, and there are also unfavorahle
reports from Louisiana. The Point
Coupee Crevass is now one thousand
feet wide and about ten feet deep, and
terrible devastation is expected in con-
sequence of the rush Of waters through
it. Reports from Yazoo city and Friar'
Point, Mississippi, state that the riv
is rising at those points. Captain Siu-
mott has arrived at New Orl an from
Alexandria, Louisiana, and reports $50
families living on RATS near that place,
in deplorable condition.
