A Chattanooga (Tonn.) girl of fifteen has
run away from home to marry a man seventy
one years old.
A Georgian eighty years old offers $1,000
for a young wife. The cost of wives in
creases rapidly after a man passes the risky
age of sixty-fve.
A Bombay newspaper announces two mar
riages, in one case the bride being aged nine
years and in the other fifteen months, while
the bridegroom was thirty. This is the sys-
tenn which Pundita RamaDai Is struggling
against.
Peter Waddie, a milkman living near At
lanta, will soon lead his ninth wife to the
altar, eight having died. The dead are all
buried In his yard, and each has a tombstone.
Waddie mas the wedding dress of each hung
in his closet.
A Partisan who had grievances against his
wife took advantage of the new lawand OBJ
tanned a divorce. Then he thought hemigh t
at the same time suppress the pension legally
agreed TO in favor of mis- mother-in-law at his
marriage, but the lady resisted and the ques-
ton went to the courts. There IL was proved
that M. Naquet's law was defective, for 1t
was decided, that although the divorced man
had no wife, he had not been divorced from
his mother in-law, and must continue to pay
her pension.
The matrimonial Experiences Of T. II.
Davis, of Clarkson, Mo-. have been romantic
and fatal. He has been married three Times
and divorced twice from the same woman.
After the second divorce Davis went to
Texas, and a year later ran across his di-
vorced wife in hesIons Star state. They
made up and married again, and returned
here to their old home. The wife's family,
who were bitterly opposed to Davis, stirred
up a feud that resulted in a shooting ARRAY
in which Davis was shot and killed by his
brother-in-law, Tom. Vaughan. The latter
says he acted in self defence.

Indiana in Early DAYS.

FREMONT, Neb. August Especial
to TILE BEE.EThree miles south OF
Fremont near the summit OF the pre-
cipitous bluffs which skirt the Platte
river, are found the only remaining
traces of the warlike Indian tribes
which held possession of this section OF
country in early days. These traces
are pits which were once a great deal
deeper than now and which were used
by the Pawnee Indians as caches for
storing their corn. They recall many
things of interest which rranspired in
the stirring days of the frontier, about
the time when the first white men came
in from the east and determined to es-
tabllsh IA home in this wilderness.
For upwards of twelve years the home
of the great Pawnee nation was here
a tribe OF Indians reputed to have been
the

184S. Prior to that time they had their
headquarters and rendezvous at two
p~laces-one at the mouth OF the Cedar
river, neal where the town of Fullerton
now is, and the other on the south
banks of the Platte, at Pawnee Bluffs,
about opposite Silver Creek. Owing to
their numbers and their skill in battle
they were terrors to any other single
tribe. But in 1S48 there was an alliance
of the Brule Sioux, Arapahoe and
C%heyennes, who succeeded in routing
them and driving them from their
strongholds. They formed a treaty
with the Omahas, who agreed to permit
them to enjoy certain privileges in the
south of the Platte, the restrictions not
being OF a very radical nature, since the
Omahas could not be exactlng with this
powerful tribe.
There were what were known as the
Upper and Lower villages-the former

Platte river bluffs, and the latter a few
