Claimed to he Louis XVII. Daughter,

Claimed to lie Louis XyH.'s Daughter
Nine. Amelie, the eldest daughter OF
Naundorff, the Dutch matchmaker who
claimed To be Louis XVII. who died AZ
the Chateau of Bols Jaquelin in Brit
tany, always signed herself Amelie de
bourbon, and her resemblance tc
Marie Antoinette was striking enough
to keep the Naundorff legend alive. IL
was Nine. Amelie who supplied Jules
Favre with the information necessary
for the lawsuit which he pleaded with
such eloquence. She always was the
possessor Of the much-talked-of key OF
a chest made by Louis XVI. himself
and buried at the ruileries When that
palace was demolished nothing was
found, but Nine Amelie persisted in as
sorting her knowledge of the secret.

fortified with arguments and were en-.
deavoring TO reason the Britishers out

A Word to G. & M. Stockholders.


It is probable that large majority of
those formerly owning stock in the
above named road are not, aware that
the company has still legal existence.
It is possible that by some hook orcrook
of the courts we may be again held for
further assessments upon the stock. A
railroad is like the grippe-one never
knows when he is through with it. It
is true that this concern was sold to
Morton, Bliss & Go. and paid for. They
are responsible for such losses as may be
incurred in its management, but it is an
open question whether or not they, in
turn, might not have recourse upon the
stockholders. Phil Sheridan said once
that the only good Indian is a dead
Indian. The only safe railroad is dead
railroad.
The stockholders of the g. & M. should
take immediate steps to avert all posi-.
BILE danger by demanding of the Direct.
ors that they at once proceed to kill the
road by securing dissolution of the
corporation. Until this is done we
will not be sure that we are free of obli.
cations or that if we die we may not
leave liability of assessment as LEGACY
to our wives, children, heirs and assig-
nees forever. SToCKHoLDER.

Mr.. Geo. Puckett, the Manager of the
Telephone Exchange, has exhibited a
great deal of ingenuity in perfecting an
attachment for the telephone at the
Electric Light Works by which the at
tention of the employees can be drawn to
the instrument. The noise made by the
machinery is so great that an ordinary
telephone bell can not be heard, and in
looking for some way to obviate this
difficulty Mr.. Puckett hit upon the ex-
pedient Of using light for an alarm in
stead of bell. After some very ingen.
ious work he has completed the attach
ment for carrying out the idea, and now
when the little crank at the other end
OF the wire is turned an electric light
flares up at the works to warn the en-
ployes that somebody wants to kick.

TWO LITTLE ORDINANCES
That Might be Passed With Advantage.

For some weeks the citizens of North
High street have been bombarded by
the men engaged in cutting through
that street for the railroad extension.
Rocks from the size of pea to those
larger than mans head have been
thrown in every direction. Fortunately
no injury to property or person has vet
occurred but may occur at any time. 1t
would not take five minutes work to pro-
tect everybody and his property in the
vicinity from this danger, but so far no
attempt has been made. A few cross
ties chamfered at the ends and placed
above the blast tent.wise would break
the force Of the projectiles and secure
safety. The Mayor Of the town was ap.,
pealed to and spoke to the foreman Of
the gang but nothing has been done,
and upon examination it was found that
there was no ordinance in existence by
which such explosions could be regu.
lated
In the heart of the busiest business
portion of our town is grocery with
sirty barrels of coal oil in the cellar.
Should it take fire the entire row
would inevitably burn out, yet upon ex.
animation it is ascertained that there
is no ordinance regulating the storage
of coal oil within the corporation One
insurance company has cancelled all its
policies along that side OF the street on
account OF this and it is only matter of
time until others will do likewise and
the entire row be left without insurance.
We would respectfully call the atten.
ton of his Honor, the Mayor, to this
matter and request that no time be lost
in calling the Council together and en-.
acting an ordinance, under the State
law, by which onr people may be pro.
tected from this imminent danger, and
would take the liberty of suggesting
that such ordinance should make it the
duty of the captain of the fire company
or the chief Of the fire department to
inspect at least once month all places
where coal oil, gasoline, gun powder
and other explosives are stored and re-
port all cases of infraction of the ordi.
nance.
OF course we do not write this to criti-
else the authorities as their attention
had not been directed to the matter be.
fore and all probably thought that such
an ordinance existed, but their attention
is now called to it and we doubt not
that there will be no hesitation in acting
promptly and efficiently.

The atmosphere in the Clerks Office
since Clerk Walker and his assistants
took charge has become very much
Chicago, as the only cases fled for the
consideration OF the Common Pleas
Court 30 far have been suits for divorce.
On February 18th Henry Test, through
his attorney, H. D. Davis, instituted pro-
ceedings for divorce against his wife,
Mary Test, now of Wheat Ridge, Adams
county, alleging willful absence and
neglect of marital duties on her part as
sufficient grounds for the action.
8. On February 18th Luella Wilson filed
her petition for divorce from Thos. G.
Wilson. She gives as sufficient reason
the fact that Thomas has made himself
exceedingly scarce around the house and
failed to provide the necessaries of ex.
istence. The plaintiff also asks for the
custody of their two children, aged and
4 years. D. @. Morrow is the plaintiffs
attorney.
On the 9th Joshua Warman filed with
the Clerk his petition setting forth the
reasons why he should be granted a
divorce from Lucinda G. Warman.
Joshua claims that the defendant was,
on March 18th, 1891, guilty of extreme
cruelty toward him without any just
cause or provocation on his part, in that
she did, on that day, leave his house
taking with her $35 in cash, gold
watch and other articles, pretending that
she would return in a short time; but
that, after she had left, she wrote him
that she would never return again !;
wherefore he asks this divorce. J. l..
Orebaugh, attorney for plaintiff.

The Other Side.

Mr.. D. D. Carothers, of the B. & o. s.
w., was in the city yesterday overseeing
various matters pertaining to the road
and took time enough to make pleasant
call at this Office. Mr.. Carothers thinks,
and perhaps rightly, that a slight in
justice was done the B. & o. s. w. and
its management in the communication,
"a Rumor," which appeared in these
columns last week in reference to the
company's policy, and is anxious that
any false impression should be removed.
In regard to the High street bridge,
he said that the idea of the company
was to make az little change in the ap-
pearance Of the street as possible. The
same grades will be preserved, with the
exception Of the raising ofthe pavement
on the west side to correspond with the
one on the east, and the entire street
over the present bridge will be one solid
floor. The hand rails at the sides will
be the only parts of the structure pro-
jecting over the general level, so that
any fears of an unsightly piece of ginger
bread architecture are unfounded.
In order not to close travel during the
excavation of the east side of the street,
the company will erect temporary
bridge over the part already completed
and will push the work to as rapid com.
pletion as possible, 50 as to reduce the
Inconvenience to a minimum.
In referring to several matters for
which due credit was not given the COM
pany by the article in question, Mr.. Car
others incidentally mentioned the fact
that ten miles of steel rail had been
placed lately between here and Blan-
chester, and that more we're being laid,
and also promised us in the very near
future a depot that would rival the
Grand Central and make the surround
ing towns turn green with envy.

UOOD
People once went to the Pope ask
ing him to give them two harvests
in year. He agreed to do it if
they would change their almanacs,
making "a months to the year. He
should have given them 4.
INSTRUCTION
How to double their harvests! Some
farmers can raise twice as much to
the acre as others. These are the
ones who can readily see that a
scholar can learn four times as much
in the same time under good instruc.
ton as they would under poor in
struction. The best instruction

For this reason, but chiefly because
the pupil is given a love for study
which will cause him to go on and
make a scholar of himself. In the

the best instruction-in Music,
Normal, Commercial or Collegiate
studies-but you have the best of
classmates. Open April 5th.

The wonderful illumination of the
northern sky on last Saturday evening
by the aurora borealis was general from
the Mississippi to the Atlantic, and was
probably the most brilliant exhibition of
this phenomenon for years. 1t was not
entirely unexpected, as the occurrence
had been predicted for about this time.
The aurora is intimately connected in
some way with the appearance of spots
on the sun, and, as great sun spot is
now visible, other displays of the light
are expected.
