Married h,s GrandMothar.

Stephenson county furnishes rather
peculiar matrimonial affair, in which a
man married his grandmother and be-
comes the father of his own uncles. The
Freeport Daily Bulletin has the following
in regard to the problemitic affair:
If you are fond of solving problems
here is one in relationship for you. Some
two years ago, Jehu Pile, of Buckeye
township, died and left his third wife q
widow with two children, his sons. MI
Pile was about seventy years of age, but
his wife was some forty years younger,
Just in the prime of life. She could not
bear to live alone in the world and so q
few days ago she went to the Woods, not
forest by any means, but to John Wood
to whom she was married. The wedding
took place at Monroe, Wis. Now this
man Woods is son of Mr.. Piles daugh-
ter by former wife This made Mr.
Pile Mr., Woods grandfather, and so
when the latter married. it was to his
grand stepmother, and the sons of the
widow Pile, (now Mrs Woods) who were
and are still Woods uncle's are now also
his stepsons. This young man, Mr.
Woods, who does not have TO go ava,
from home to see his uncles, is not
millionaire, and has no particular calling
or profession in life. He works for hi
daily bread here and there, wherever hi
may find employment.
If he does not make good stepfathe
and nephew and attempts to be arbitrary
in the management of affairs, he ma.
wake up some fine morning and find him
self Piled up as he Wood not be, by hi
adopted family.

The Jesse James Show.

The following item from the Chicago
Tribune settles the fate of the James show
which appeared here a short time ago.
'It ought to crafty David Davis to hear
that the Jesse James Dramatic combina'
ton has gone to pieces somewhere odt in
Kansas. David gave the rotten concern
its first push down hill, and it has been
sliding down ever since. The only re-
gretable feature of the affair is that the
manager of the concern, Jim Wallack, is
an old Chicagoan. He used to pilot
Frank Aikes, John Dillon, and other stars
over the country, but latterly run of bat
luck induced him to engage in branci
of the business which, if less reputable
he believed would prove more remunera
tive"

CLOSING OF NAVIGATION.
The Veteran United States Inspector
on the Prospect.

A La Crosse Republican reporter had
an interview with Capt. Girdon, the
veteran steamboat inspector, on the 9th
of this month. The day was very fine
one, and the captain was sounded on the
probability of the river closing soon.
From the interview it will be seen that
the weather did not mislead him, as it
would have an inexperienced person.
well, Captain Girdon, this don't look
very much as though the river would
freeze over very soon, does itf'
LET me think, said Mr.. Girdon, "this
is the 9th of November. 1t looks bright
but one cannot always tell by the sky and
the atmosphere what is in store for him.
The river may close over tomorrow for
all we can tell"
| "But it never has frozen over so early
as this, has it?"
| Eyes, sir; it has, and the fact is well
worth making note of. Why, on the I'd
of November, 1885, the river froze solid
as far south as Keokuk, and navigation
was not resumed until the 18th of the
following April. The steamer Friendship
had started for Galena with load of lead
ore, and froze in the river at the Narrows
now known as Fulton. That, remember,
was on the I'd of November, and here il
is the 9th. That is the earliest evel
knew the river to close up. On the 7th 81
November. 1860, was frozen in with the
steamer Alhambra at Ninoinger, above
Hastings. The 9th of November or the
day preceding was just as warm and
pleasant as this day. At night the wind
shifted to the northwest and snow fell tt
depth of eighteen inches Ice com
menced forming within one hour, and SC
severe was the cold that the Alhambrs
could not be gotinto winter quarters The
crew came down the west bank of the
river on sleds and across the river on the
! ice at this point"
What constituted the crew, Captain?'
1.-THE usual number OF officers and negro
roustabouts. The latter suffered fcarfully
They were not prepared for cold weather
in the way of clothing, nor were theil
constitutions of the cold climate nature
and can see the poor fellows shiverine
yet
How thick was the ice at this point?'
1T was pretty thin, but tough, with
patches of smooth ice, and shell ice com.
posed of frozen snow and rain, which
J blocks up the river in the fall The way
the crew crossed was to string out severa
yards apart, each one connected to thu
other by a clothesline, so that if one fel
through the Others could pull him out
We crossed in safety. The river may mo-
close up early this year, but the pleasant
days we are just having is no criterion.
