Married by an Ex-Justice.

The old story that love laughs at
locksniths and parental restraints was
fully eXemplitied near Ben Arnold. Mi
lam county, IA few days ago when a
young man succeeded, after one pre-
vious failure, in stealing the object of
his future happiness from under the
paterual shingled roof and successfully
evaded party headed 10y the father
who were in hot pursuit. They secured
the necessary papers in Falls county
and repaired to an eX-justice of the
peace, who performed the ceremony,
as he had done before being deprived
of his Justices robe, evidently to the
satisfaction of all concerned. Imagine
their surprise after upon learning that
a Justices authority to the nuptial
knot does not extend through life, nor
good behavior, and that they were not
legally united. SO they repaired to a
minister, who performed the ceremony
legally constituting them man and wife
forever. The father refuses an appli
cation of the Balm of Gillead to his
wounded affections and therefore he i:
unreconciled.

railroad company's resident physician
at Clcburne, and brotherin-law of Col.
j. A. Styson of the state militia. He
was also an old settler of johnson

present at the time of the accident.
There are many conflicting reports of

time Of the incoming train, he was
blinded by the headlght Of the engine.

An Example for All Schools to Follow.


The public school in Taylor. Will
Hanson county. has adopted sys-
TEN of drilling the pupils to prevent a
panic in case of fire. Periodically a
fire alarm is sounded <hout warning.
and the pupils are required to gently
but hastily vacate the building. y few
days ago. in drill of this kind the
three floors Of the building were emp
tied of between 300 and 700 children.
and the children returned to their
rooms again, all within the space of
three minutes. When the alarm is given
neither the pupils or teachers know
whether the building is actually on
fire or whether it is their regular drill.
The building is heated throughout by
hot air or steam. and a fire would have
to originate from below. There is no
danger of panic, because no one in
the building would know it was actu-
ally atire until it was emptied.

1t transpired that on November 27
the state comptroller issued ii lengthy
crcular-lettcr to the collectors over the
state. urging them to send their collec-
tions to the state treasury Immediately,
as the cash balance was running down
low, and likely to run dry altogether
unless something besides asking credit
ors to hold off was done at once. The
collectors were notified that if they
would send in the collections without
waiting until December it would tide
over for this month but they must
keep up the rush for the month of De-
cember or the bottom would drop out
If they came promptly to the help of
the treasury it would be no hardship,
though the law contemplates they shall
not remit till the end of the month.
and their action would meet with uni
versal applause from the people.

tended to President Cleveland and the
Duke of Veragua. Despite the northwest
wind, laden at times with binding rain.
thousands Of people assembled at various
points to do homage to the distinguished
arrivals. But an hour or two separated
the time of reception of the duke and
president, and each was given q series of
ovations. Throughout the day the
president sought all the seclusion pos
sible. and departed somewhat from the
programme of the day, taking hurried
visit in the company Of his cabinet to the
Worlds fair grounds. The duke placed
himself entirely at the disposal of mis-
hosts, and was the recipient of great atten-

courtesy and grace. The president and
cabinet seemed inclined to reserve their
forces for Mondays ordeal, while the duke
seemed anxious to repay the hospitality
by responding to every suggestion made
for his entertainment. Equally impressive
among the events of the day were the cere-
monies attending the installation of the
historic old Liberty bell in the tower of
the Pennsylvania building at the Worlds
fair.
