A NEBRASKA young man broke his marriage
engagement because his girl used powder on her
face, and now he is defending breach-of-prom.
Use suit 1t is to be hoped that the young man
will be compelled to pay damages to a large
amount that others may be warned from a simi-
lar course OF conduct. If powder is held to be a
bar to marriage, young women may reject lovers
who appear in pointed shoes, or are detected
smoking cigarettes, and the matrimonial mar
ket of the country will be destroy ed.

DIED-CURKY In this city Nov.
I'd, 1888, after protracted illness,
Susannah Richards Curry, wife Of
Mr.. VIM. II. Curry, in the 47th year
of her age.
Mrs. Curry was born near Glus-
tonbury, Somersetshire, England,
Dec. 30, 1886 At ten years of age
her parents came 10 Wisconsin and
in 1850 settled i'm Mineral Point,
whore she was married and has since
resided.
About ten years ago she began to
lose her health, and for several
months of each year since has been
a great sufferer, until about year ago
when she underWe an operation for
cancer which seemed to be success
full. During the early part Of this
last summer she seemed in a meas
ure to regain her health, but in Sep
tember she had a relapse and has
had a severe struggle ever since, but
without avail
Mrs. Curry was lady Of fine tenn
perament, quiet and unassuming,
very strong in her affections. For
the ten years that she has been shut
in from the world she has been
cheerful and happy, seeming to be
willing to forego life's pleasures with
Christian fortitude, and only endeav-
oring to make all about her happy.
A good woman has gone home and
the community deeply sympathize
with the bereaved family.

with complete statement of re
ceipts and disbursements for the
year, take up considerable space to-
day, which, however, will prove of
interest to citizens generally. 1t will
be seen that Notwithstanding the I'M
favorable weather the receipts of
the fair proper exceeded those of
last year, and the expenses, barring
printing and premiums, are consid-
erable under last years report. The
large amount Of advertising secured
for'the premium list increasing the
size 25 per cent, together with the
500 increase in the number issued
explains the magnitude of the print
ing bills, but this extra amount il
more than counterbalanced by the
receipts for advertising The
amount paid for premiums is about
IS per cent greater than ever before
The report is certainly very en-
couraging to the association.

ELDER CrougH drove from Sparta
last week coming through Monroe,
Vernon, Crawford, Grant and Iowa
counties. On the way he made
many inquiries concerning corn and
found that where the seed had been
brought from Kansas, Neb aska or
the regions south there was little if
any that matured. But that where
the seed was well acclimated from
so to 90 per cent has matured.
There is a great amount Of good
seed corn in Monroe co. where far
mers are saving it with great care.
It seems advisable to secure as
early varieties as possible, and also
to secure that quite early.

regard to cleanliness, and improve
ments of business blocks and resi-
dences. Our growth wasn't marked
or in comparison with several places,
but whoIesomeness and neatness
placed above par. This might SAVIOR

voueh fer the mans reliability, and

A HORSE owned by JAS. Spensley,
while hitched to a wagon and stand
ing in front of Moffett's drug store,
Thursday last, was taken with "blind
staggers." Luckily he was detached
from the wagon before his craziness
reached a high pitch, but the way
in which he reared and rolled around
he sidewalk soon afterwards proved
an uncomfortable sight to the own
err of plate-glass fronts. Finally
the animal backed away from in
front of the plates, and sat down on
the sa>h of Eden a Blewitt's front,
breaking large pane of glass. AT
this he took fright, and started up
street at terrific gait, following
the sidewalk and causing pedestrians
to seek safety hurridly. A Miss
Tenant fell in her flight and was
jumped over, receiving no bodily in
iuries, but some Of hel clothing was
slightly muulated by being stepped
on bv the horse. The horse soor
became himself, without doing any
further damage.
