Differed About an Antenuptial
Contract.

A wedding was to have taken
place on Thursday last week, near
Child's station, four miles north of
Elkton, which was broken off at
the last moment. The intended
groom was Mr.. John Frazer, one of
the leading merchants of Elkton
and a member of the we'll known
Frazer family of Cecil county. The
bride elect was Miss Mary Harvey,
a daughter of Daniel Harvey,
formerly for many years a pro.
minent builder and contractor of
Baltimore, and highly estimable
lady. Every preparation for the
event had been made and the in
tended groom had furnished a
house in Elkton, where they were
to reside. The wedding was to be
a quiet one and only the immediate
relatives and friends were invited.
The groom appeared short time
before the hour set for the ceremony
with a contract which he presented
for the BRIDES signature. The con-
tract provided that in case Of the
death of the groom first his property,
real, personal and mixed, was to
revert to the Frazer heirs, and in
case of her death her property was
to revert to the Harvey heirs. Her
family protested strongly against
any such agreement, and she de.
clined to be party to the contract
and refused to allow. the ceremony
to proceed unless the contract was
destroyed. Both being positive in
their views, the guests were quietly
informed that no wedding would
take place, and they departed for
their respective hOme.-ElktOn Cor,

The Prophetic Faculty and Dreams,


B. o. Flower, the editor of the
Arena, writes in the March number
of that magazine a paper that is
likely to provoke considerable dis
cussion ON "The Prophetic Faculty
as Revealed in Dreams" 1t is q
curious and interesting examination,
full of data, some of which has been
accumulated from authentic sources,
some of which is vouched for as
coming within personal knowledge
and experience. The sincerity of
the writer will cause many interested
in the scientific investigation of well
established psychic phenomena to
read the paper carefully.

He was unable to speak and
Immediately died. Rheumatism of
the heart was the immediate cause
of death.
Mr.. Bennett was one of the lead
ing men in the eighth district in
business affairs and in the promo
ton of all good works. His place
will not be easily filled.
The funeral was held on Tuesday
10Th inst, from his late residence.

THEY DON'T LIKE THE LAW.
People Who Think Congress Has Made
some Insidious Distinctions.


Special Correspondence OF the Standard.
RED LODGE, Jan. 5.-Petitions have
been circulated and numerously signed in
this section during the past few days
praying congress TO amend the law by
which the ceded strip for the Crow reser-
vation was thrown open to settlement n
few years ago. Under the law as then en-
acted, settlers under the homestead law
were required to pay S1.60 an acre for all
lands taken up. This is a provision that
was never before inserted in similar laws
throwing open Indian reservations to set
tlement, and consequently the petitioners
in this instance feel that they have a just
cause for grievance which congress, in all
fairness, must redress. Most of the land
is practically desert land, and can only
be made to produce profitable agricultural
crops by the introduction of an expensive
system of irrigation. The petition has
been signed by every citizen called upon.
1t will be forwarded at once to Congress

1T WAS THE WRONG GIRL.
And tho Amorous Drug store Man Was
Neatly Fooled.

And tho Amorous Drug Store Man Was
Neatly Fooled.
From the Chicago Times.
Under the shadows of the big Ozark
apartment house on Wabash avenue lives
n young druggist who is particularly good
looking and bright. He owns an interest
in the store over which he usually pre-
sides at night, and there is no crusty old
alchemist to rebuke him when he smiles
graciously upon his fairer customers.
There are many pretty girls in the neigh
borhood, and by much practice the young
pharmacist has acquired the art of the
winning smile to point where its effects
are irresistible. while ago particularly
sweet little miss visited his store for a
drink of hot chocolate. The druggist was
the essence of suavity, and the girls
black eyes flashed out an intimation of
defiance which infatuated him. As she
closed the door he turned to another Gus
toner. ''Gee!" he exclaimed, ''but she is
"A peach; / wonder who she is"
"Why, that's Miss Gertrude So-and.So,"
replied the fellow. Lives at such and
such an address with her sister,"
Every day for a week the druggist spent
his good money for flowers and sent them
with his card to Miss Gertrude. Finally
ne was eloVatou 10 a 6eNOutu uedNeu w a
little perfumed note asking him TO dinner.
At the appointed hour he called and was
greeted bya tall, angular girl, 80 years
old, who wore spectacles, had sharp, shift
ing gray eyes and hands like the claws of
q bald eagle. She received him graciously.
81 cannot tell you how mush obliged !
am for your beautiful bouquets" she gur-
gled. "They are really just too lovely for
anything"
The druggist was particularly uncom-
Portable by the time he was ushered into
the parlor. In an arm chair sat a solemn
looking man smoking a corn cob pipe with
a great deal of complaisance. "Allow
me to introduce you to my husband"
snickered his hostess. There was n hor-
riblc pause.
"Are you tho guy that's been sending
flowers TO my wife?' asked the husband.
The druggist prepared to fight his way out
and began TO stammer.
"I'm glad TO SEQ you," said the host.
Lets have dinner"
Without n chance to explain, the drug
gist was whisked into dinner. and subse-
uuently into half dozen horrible games
of cribbage. while the other fellow smoked
his corn cob continuously and with the
most eNasperating silence. As soon as
he dared, the visitor excused himself.
GLAD TO see you any time; come again."
remarked the husband. As the front door
was about to close behind him the drug
gist thought he hearl a smothered laugh.
and at the Same instant his pretty ideal
put n small foot on the bottom step. The
druggist blushed crimson. but she did not
see him. Don't shut tho door, Gertie,"
she cried TO her marri cd sister. I'm
here. Had a lovely time with Jack at the
show"
Hurry up. Ethel,' replied tho married
sister. "We'vo been dying to go to bed

The girl passed in, the door slammed and
the druggist went out 10 look for the man
who had told him Gertrude's name and
address.

SALOONS SHUT Up ONCE.

The Oskaloosa Independent Tells How
Law Was Enforced in LeavenwOrth.
The Oskaloosa Independent, one of
the Oldest aud best Republican papers
in Kansas, says:
We regard Gov. Morrill's late declara-
tons about the futility of trying to en-
force the prOhibitory law in sucn places
as Leavenworth, as being very unfortu-
nate and in the nature of direct en-
couragement to the law-breakers. It is
probably true that liquor-seIling can't be-
stopped in such sink-hole of iniquity
as Leavenworth, but open saloons can be
driven out, sentiment or no sentiment,
and they have been driven out, in other
days in that very place-to such an ex-
sent that pontoon bridge was built to
the Missouri shore largely to accommo-
date the liquor business What has
been done, can be done
