Thought They We're Married.

A story of verdant young couple,
who thought that procuring the license
was the only ceremony connected with
marriage, comes from Bellaire. On last
Saturday morning Alfred Kizer and
Miss Ida Ward, of Waynesburg, Pa,
came to Bellaire. stopping at the Mer-
chants Hotel. They told the proprietor
the object of their trip, and he directed
them to Probate Judge Tallman. They
came here together, and the usual ques-
tions being asked and answered salts
factorily, the license was issued. The
would-be groom stuck the paper in his
pocket, and both thought that was all
there was to it. They returned to Bell
aire, and received the congratulations of
the proprietor of the hotel, upon being
informed that they got along all right,
and were assigned room. They were
scarcely seen all day Sunday. On Mon
day morning they were casually asked
by some one who performed the ceremo-
ny. They did not know, and were told
the certificate would show. The license
was thereupon produced, and it was the
only paper they had. To remedy matters
a Squire was called in, and they were
soon legally united in the holy bonds.

ALLEGED Criminal Assault.

A highly sensational and detailed ac-
count of an attempted criminal assault
by John Danford, of Washington town.
ship, upon Mrs. Reed, of the same
neighborhood, was published in all the
leading dailies of the State last week
The special was headed as originating
from this place, but was in fact sent out
from Bellaire or Wheeling. The case, in
fact, was before the grand jury, but that
body placed so little credence in the
matter that after hearing number of
witnesses they ignored the bill. Then
one of the grand jurors, it is said, went
home, took the matter into his own
hands, swore out warrant for Danford' S
arrest, and at hearing before Justice,
Danford was bound over to Common
Pleas Court. Danford came to this plac !
on Saturday and gave bond in the sum OF
5000. He claims the case is black

Good Old Times.

In these days of twenty-five and thirty
cents pound butter, and twenty five
cents dozen eggs, it is refreshing to
recall the days when butter sold in this
town at five cents, and tubfulls of eggs
could be bought for two and a half cents
dozen. Not many of us perhaps can
remember these good old times as they
were back between '25 and 80, but as
detailed by an old-timer, they show that
there is something radically wrong wi h
the food producing classes of this count y
if they are not better off now in III Sc
days of high prices for their produce and
low prices for the commodities they buy.
than they were when oats were fifteen
cents bushel and wheat forty.

Odd Theories.

The grip is productive of unique. and
startling ideas, some plausible and some
not. Minds, in their efforts to solve the
problem of the deadly diseases sudden
appearance and destructive work, have
evolved some curious explanations and
odd cures.
A writer in the Pittsburgh Dispatch
recently accounts for the grip phnomena
by the lower temperatures of the last
three winters. He says that the oceans
were cooled to before unheard-ot ex-
tent three years ago by the floating OF
immense icebergs from the arctic regions.
Water being SO retensive of heat the
oceans gather enough of it in summer to
temper the winter colds. Now the waters
being cooled by ice have no modifying
effect in winter Hence more cold and
hence the grip.
A citizen of ST. Cfairsville, and med
ical gentleman, has theory of the grip
quite as plausible as this much Wanted
one. He thinks that the epidemic is due
to the reduced amount of oxygen in the
air. Increasing population, the necessity
for many fires, the vitiating of the at
mosphere by gas escaping into it from
the earth-all these and other causes
operate to destroy oxygen. He believes
that the remedy lies in supplying more
of this vital principle to the human
mechanism, and that by and by human
needs will adapt themselves to the dimin-
ished supply. In the meantime we must

SEVERAL SHORT STORIES.
Verdict Against Man who Tried a
Shakedown."
A verdant Couple Think They are Mar
ried-Other Interesting ptems
Gathered Together.

The case of Z. =. Rhodes against
Martin L. Brubaker, which was on tria
in Common Pleas Court last week, at
tracted considerable attention on account
of some unusual features connected with
the suit 1t appears that Brubaker was
for several years and until a couple OF
years ago employed as foreman or miller
in Rhodes mill, at Bridgeport, at a salary
of s 200 per year. During the time he
was thus employed Rhodes decided to
put in his mill the roller process for
making -four. As Rhodes, as he himself
claims, possessed no practical knowledge
of milling, he employed Brubaker to
select the milling machinery needed to
equip $50 barrel mill. Rhodes says he
acted with full confidence in Brubaker'S
honesty. Accordingly on Brubakers
recommendation Rhodes purchased ma
chinery from a Dayton firm and thus
equipped his mill. Some considerable
time thereafter Rhodes became aware,
through some means, that Brubaker IT.
ceived commission from the milling
firm for the SALE As Rhodes alleges,
Brubaker had been in correspondence
with the Dayton firm, and they had
offered him commission Of 10 per cent.
on one class of machinery and 8 per cent.
on another if he would induce Rhodes
to purchase from them. Rhodes alleges
that Brubaker practiced skin game on
him and received over $500 as commits
sions, and that he (Rhodes) was induced
to pay more than the machinery was
worth, and also to purchase more ma
chinery than was needed. In short,
Rhodes charged Brubaker with acting in
bad faith all around Accordingly he
brought suit to recover damages. The
jury on Friday awarded Rhodes verdict
for $872.64 damages, which little more
than covers the commission paid to
Brubaker by the Dayton firm.

Will Have Light.

Martins Ferry is determined to have

tract for furnishing incandescent lig t

to be the worst lighted in the State. The

here a better light of the same power

A Medical Success.

The France Medical Institute, 3S and
40 West Gay street, Columbus, Ohio, is
open for the visits of patients from nine
in the morning until nine in the evening.
Those patients who live sufficiently near
will generally find personal interview to
their advantage, either at the Institute tr
with one of the physicians who makes
regular visits to yuur town. The physi-
clans in charge fully appreciate the feel
ings of their patients and endeavor to
give entire satisfaction to the large num-
Der constantly under treatment That
they are successful in this respect is con-
clusively proved by the letters ON file at
the Institute from old patients and giving
names of friends to whom they wish
treatment sent. They do not claim to
work miracles, but do claim in all honesty
and candor to cure cases that are at all
curable. Let those given up by others
call for free consultation-P0st.

A Rare Case,

A novel case has beeh on trial in Co
lumbiana county. J. J. Kirk sold coal
under his land to coal company. After
the coal had been worked out the COM
pany bought land adjoining and ran the
coal out through entries under Kirk S
land Kirk enjoined them from so doing
and the court perpetuated the injunction.
This case involves a very nice point,
and one which has never before been
presented to that court. The point is
this: Can a man who has sold his coal
underlying his land lay claim to the en-
tries after the coal has been worked out ?
In reviewing the case Judge Nichols held
that when man buys coal it becomes
his personal property, and is separate and
distinct from the realty above it.

Entertaining Chalk Talk.

The chalk talk by Prof. w. M. R.
French at Court House Hall Friday
night, was the best of the entertainments
of the lecture course thus far. Mr..
French is a man of talent artistically,
and thoroughly understands his subject.
He is full of wit, and as he draws in
illustration of his ideas about art, he
keeps the fun going by his quiet and
humorous talk. A student of art might
take away much of profit from his talk,
while the laymen could not fail to be
amused and interested.

his skull was crushed in for a space as

recover. He was once before supposedly
fatally injured, but possessed remarka-
BILE vitality and recovered.
