were vastly curious as to what provision
had been made for Belle Cunningham. an

the money. Any way, rumor pointed ia
Miss Cunningham as the heress aud match

came public property, it was found that
the old gentleman's fortune IA matter of
some sixty thousand pounds was divided
between his son Cyril CIere aud his niece
Belle Cunningham on condition that the
two young people contracted joint mar
riagej in default of which, the whole Of
the money with the exception Of Bellies
small annuity Of forty pounds, was to be
paid over to various London corporations.
The matchmaking mammas were very
angry when they heard about the condi-

with Reginald CIere. They said he had
no business to make such a WILL called
him an unnatural, pig-headed old man, be-
cause he wanted to keep the whole Of the
money in his own family And they were
angry with Belle, whom they denounced as
an artful, scheming girl; poor Belle, who
was about as innocent an agent in the
whole affair as the man in the moon.
Luckily for Belle she knew nothing about
the hard things that were said Of her;
though he'd she known all about them it is
doubtful whether she would have greatly
cared She was an exceedingly independ-
ent and high-sPirited young lady.
:" In the peculiar position in which we're
both placed, don't think either Of Us
would be quite justified in refusing the
other" said Belle.

IN sTANDARD JACKsoN OHIO, THURSDAY july 2a, 1885

If we might be pardoned for using
ii seemingly uncOuth expression, we
should say that the Devil seems to
have broken loose among the married
men of this country. There is scarce
ly AN issue of the daily papers which
does not contain the sickening de tails
of a wife-murder, aud sometim
three or four in one issue. One of
the latest and most horrible is that
by David Conger, living near Woods
field, Ohio. David went to the spring
and got some water in lineup. and
threw it on one of the children. His
wife objected, when he threatened to
kill her. She told the brute to kill
her if he wanted to when he assaulted
her with coffre-pot, knocked her
down, then seized an ak and chopped
and beat her to death, in the presence
Of their six children. This is only a
specimen case. On the same day, Albert
Ross, a young man at Jacksonville
Ind, who had only baen married two
weeks, shot his wife and then himself.
Fortunately the women will recover,
and he is dead.

d. MACKLEY Esq.-My Dear Sir:
Yours of the 10 inst. enclosing eX-
tracts clipped from the Cincinnati Com
naerciGl Gazette giving history of the
prohibiting law in the various cities of
Iowa, was received and in answer to
your question, "are they true?" can say
L believe they are. l have not visited
any of the cities mentioned except Ot-
tumwa, and l "know whereof / affirm,
and speak what | do know" when say
that what is said about increase of sa-
looms and drunkenness in that city is true,
and l believe the same remark will apply
to large majority of the towns and
cities in the state, You ask me, "does
prohibition prohibit in Iowa ?" and ans
wer most emphatically No. In our own
city, which contains nearly 5000, sur
rounded by as intelligent and moral peo-
pie as you will find in any state, before
the prohibiting law became of force we
had eleven saloons, licensed at 600 dollars
each-now we have p and no revenue,
number of arrests for that and crimes
growing out of it fearfully increased
within the last year; prosecutions with
out number have been commenced, with
a cost to the tax-papers of near 5000 dol
lars and scarcely conviction. I was
always Prohibitionist-voted for it and
worked for it, but since have seen it's
effects here and in Kansas, 1 am free to
confess that it is a magnificent failure,
and shall henceforth do all 1 can for
high license. That is the only plan by
which it can be curtailed or controlled, as
prohibition increases to fearful extent
the sale of the most terrible compounds
under the name of intoXicants. dealing
)ut death and damnation by the whole |
sale. To you and all my friends in Jack
son County, 1 would say, "touch not,
,aste not, handle not" prohibition, for
hereby you will be deceived.
