expense Of entering upon this business is
not necessarily great. and If properly man.

from the outset. Poultry thrives best
where running water may be had. and
plenty of such locations may be found
near the city. Expensive buildings need
not be erected and the land msy easily be

The formation of a company composed
chiefly of Spokane Falls capitalists for the
construction II a railway from this city
to Rockford is one of the most gratifying
local events of recent occurrence. The
necessity for such road and the benefits
that would accrue theYefrom have been
frequently pointed out through the COL
umns of the REVIEW, and are thoroughly
understood by the people. These benefits
will be realized to the fullest extent un-
der the new arrangement, the details of
which are explained in the local columns
of to.day's paper. The character and
standing Of the gentlemen interested In
the organization, as we'll as their financial
ability, are such as to inspire unlimited
confidence that the road will be built
without unnecessary delay and operated
on q broad and liberal policy. The people
Of this city and the country to be pene-
trated by the new road are to be congratu-
lated upon this important Contamination.

OLD BUT ROMANTIC.
An aged Kentucky Couple Eiops From
Their Children.


Their Children.
James Hunt and Mrs, Catherine Rey-
nolds of Henry county, Ky., had been
''courtinR" for some time. Mr. Hunt was
hale and RoodlcokinR widower Of 50
years. He owned a fe, tile farm, a lot OF
hoe livestock, and had some money in the
bank. Mrs. Rey nolds was a widow four
years younger, likewise good looking and
also the owner of a good farm and live
stock. TO an uniformed observer it
would seem that there was no obstacle to
their marriage, for il was evident TO the
neighbors that the couple had a wedding
In view. But there were obstacles of n
most decided nature. Both MIR. Hunt and
Mrs. Reynolds bad children grown and
married, and these young people were
greatly opposed to their parents marrying
again. They did not delay in informing
the old people that they would not consent
to such thing. They told Mrs. Reynolds
and Mr.. Hunt that they were too old to
think of marrying, and 0ugnt instead to
be looking out for the future of their child
rem.
In obedience to the wishes of their chill
dren Mr.. Hunt and Mrs Reynolds post
pon,d the marriage. But two months
later thew again announced to their child
rem that they thought 1T was time for the
wedding. This raised greater storm
than ever, but the old people concluded
that 1t was time for them to act, and since
their children would not ailoy them to
marry at home they planned an elopement.
On recent morning very early, Mr.
Hunt took his two best horses out of the
stable. DE did II very cautiously in order
to escape the observation of bis eldest
daughter and her husband, who lived with
him. He galloped over TO the tarm of
Mrs. Reynolds, who was waiting at the
barn for him. The two rode in TO the
nearest railroad station where they board
ed u train for this city, arriving at noon.
Ihey took hurried dinner at the Farm
er's Home. and, fearin0pursuit, went over
to J.ffersonville on the Indiana shore and
were married by a magistrate.
>, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt came back TO the
Farmers Home for snpper, and the next
day started for Henry county to ask the
blessing and forgiveness OF their children.

A MALICIOUS LIE.

Mr.. Tanna.t. formerly of this city arrived
from Spokane Falls Monday, where he has
been laid up In the hospital with a severe
attack OF pneumonia. He informed our
reporter that ere are six des' his on an av er-
age every night, and that they carry their
dead out and bury them without The least
ceremony. In order to keep the matter

This man Tor thinR) called Tannatt, is
not the first OF has kind that the good Sis
ters of Charity in charge of the Sacred
Heart hospital have encountered in their
NOZZLE and self-sscrific ficing efforts to allevi-
ate the sufferings of the afflicted. He is not
the first perishinR scorpion that has been
warmed to life for PHYS sake. only to turn
and sting its benefactor. The Sis
tars are accustomed to this sort of treat
ment, but it does not deter them from
perseveripg in the glorious work to which
they have coDsecrated their lives. They
would scorn to attempt a refutation OF the
libel. Rather would they bow at
the feet Of the holy Mother and
petition for interecssion in behalf of their
traducer. But the press owes society
duty in such cases. To that end 1t is put
ting it in the Inildest terms applicable to
the infamy TO brand this statement of Mr..
Tannatt's as a malicious lie. The official
records show that during the month of
April there were just nineteen deaths in
this city. Or this number six died at the
hospital, and Of the total number only
three fatalities resulted from pneumonia.
Since the journal has given publicity to
the outrageous libel above quoted 1t should
have the decency to correct 1T.
