1t is stated upon good authority
that Lolita, the frisky little actress,
is to marry W. E. Baker, tile editorial
writer on the Kansas City Journal.
Although several years her junior,
Mr.. Baker has been desperately in
love with the little lady for a long
time, and she has by no means been
verse to his attentions. The Baker
and Crabtree families nsed to be on
very intimate terms in California 20
years ago-in fact, We believe there
is a blood relationship between the
two. Mr.. Baker is a very bright and
promising young man, and is in every
way worthy Of the gifted and popu-
lar lady of his choice.-Denver Tn-

Referring to the scandal with which
President Arthur's name has been SO
prominently mentioned, a correspond
ent of the Pittsburg Leader says it is
whispered about that the husband of
the lady, who has protested in vain
against his w,fe's reckless exposure
of her character to these scandalous
ins~inuations and attacks. has gone
higher with his complaint. and has
personally threatened to hold Mr..
Arthur accountable. If but a small
part of what is talked about is true
there is a tempest brewing in the
neighborhood of the White House
which will raise the hair of the whole
country.

FROM LADDONIA.


Correspondence oi the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, March 1--we have the
busiest little town on the railroad.
Everybody has plenty of work to do, and
they are doing it. No drones in Laddonia.
Last Friday was ''moving" day with many
of the Laddonians, and there were so
many changes made, "they are too numer-
Gus to mention" Many lots have been
sold during the past two weeks, upon
which buildings will be erected-some
business houses and some dwellings.
This would be a first-class place for a
Touring mill, n more good lumber yard
and one more irst-class store. Tit mer-
chants here sell on an average about 900 lbs
OF -four a week. Corn is coming in lively
this week, and selling at Ssc.
The merchants are receiving new goods,
and there are more goods OF all kinds in
the town than ever before.
Miss Ida Spencer has just opened the
largest stock of millinery that has ever
been brought here.
Mr.. johnson and C. Doss have put their
harness shop and shoe shop in the same
building, and are having a good trade.
Bruton & Gilliland, real estate agents,
are kept busy.
Mrs. NJ. f. DeGeer returned here last
Friday and delivered three lectures. Last
night she spoke in the church to a crowd
ed house. She is a fine scholar, a good
writer, and is well posted on the issues OF
the day. While she makes temperance
a specially, she delivered lectures
on other topics of much interest.
She leaves tonight for her home in Chi
cago, but will return here next week and
give two lectures on ssThe Laws of LIFE
j. T. Llewellyn, proprietor Of the Cum
mings House, is in Centralia IN business,
Land is renting higher this spring thar

From the wellsville Democrat.
Bob Torreyson, formerly a resident
of this place and lately of Vandalla,

was Mrs. John Pence. Lately Mrs.P.
gave Robert $50 in crisp greenbaeks,
with which to buy him a nice wedding
outfit and started him to Mexico to
procure the necessary marriage IL
censs. Bob went to Mexico, but did
not get the license, did not return to
Vandalia, and now Mrs. p. mourneth
her lost love CD and $50 worth of

ssRepublican" Genes Again.

correspondence Oi tHt LtuReE.
MEXICO, Mo-, March 14.-H my
friend Llew.llyn chooses to think that
senator Vest is silly Or even stupid
on the tariff question he has a clear
to SO express himself. Senator
Vest may or may not be governed by
political or sinister motives in not adj
to the free trade doctrine of
his political associates. If free trade
is anything than a political
hobby to ride into power it means
this: that the labor of this country
saves the a%ristocracy of other govern
ments by reducing the price Of labor
here to the level of pauper labor in
England. The farmers and mechan-
les of this country would much prefer
the payment of a sac, 900, 900 tax on
Mich. lumber than to occupy apauper's
position. No intelligent democrat or
republican will believe the statement
of the tax levied as spoken of to be
true. The price of Michigan lumber
sold daily in this market does not
warrant the statement. Capital in
vested in lumber interests in Michi-
gan or Oregon barely pays the usual
rates of interest, and the price of Ia
Dor engaged in that trade is fully as
low as that of other ayocations, farm
labor not excepted. No intelligent
democrat or republican will deny the
fact that capital in iron interests and
various manufacturing enterprises
has and will continue to obtain adj
vantages owe the laboring classes,
whether farmers or operatives in the
manufacturing interests of this coun-
try. 1t is idle nonsense to make so
extravagant a charge as some free
traders do by asserting that Michigan
farmers are robbed of SAG, 900, OOC
annually for want of free trade in
pine lumber off the little %penlnsulal
state of Michigan. If our free trade
friend Llewellyn will theorize less and
give his republican readers facts to
consider instead Of extravagan'
statements We will read his communi
cations with more interest in the fu
ture. Our doctrine is that free trade
cannot be adopted and put in prac
tice by this government. Tariff fol

What every farmer wants is a good
plow. He wants the best. 1t pays
him to have the best. The best Is
always the cheapest.
There was a pillow test on Nj. l..
Duncan's farm last Monday, managed
by r. J. Boswell and R. B. Sigafoas
experts, where it. was thoroughly
proven that a Gilpin sulky pillow runs
lighter than a walking pillow of the
same style and make. The Gilpin
pillow sold by Gill & Garrett has a
fine reputation in this county, and
the sales are largely on the increase.
ALI who saw the test were pleased,
and those who have this pillow would
have no other. The judges we're
farmers known to our readers, and
decided unanimously in favor of the
Gilpin in every point as being the
best pillow they YER saw. The draft
of the Gilpin, cutting l6 inches wide,
5 inches deep was only 314 lbs. The
draft of the walking pillow, same make,
style and turn, cutting l6 inches wide,
5 inches deep, 368 lbs. Draft in favor

A farmer who once secures q supply of
ice for summer use, will never afterward
be without it. Ice is indispensable for
diaries, either for butter or cheese, and is
valuable in any cellar for keeping fresh
meat in warm weather. A good ice
house of moderate size can be built for
$50 or $40, and the interest on the cost,
with the trouble of filing it, are triies
compared with the convenience of having
ice during the su umer.
