MARRIAGE DEAD Easy FOR HIM.
Huntington. Ind. Girl Has . Decidedly
Narrow Escapc.

Huntington. Ind. Jan. 2s.-John T.
Hiler. a song writer Of Chicago. who
was In this city a few days. made the
acquaintance OF Miss Jessie Anderson.
society young woman. and with Q
crowd OF friends they talked about get
ting married. Miss Anderson jokinEly
asked him II he had procured n license
and Hiler Immediately got one and in
sisted upon the marriage.
Miss Anderson saw the seriousness
of the Joke and had a hard time TO set
matters right again. The marriage will
not take place. Hiler has since been

Also in the Courts in Iowa. Nebraska, Wy
Oming, Colorado and Utah.

Bills in equity have been prepared,
signed by the attorney general and
Hon. George Hoadley, special counsel,
and forwarded to st. Louis, where they
will next Friday be presented to Judge
Sanborn. who has jurisdiction in all the
districts. and whose consent to their
filing is necessary because the receivers
in charge of the property are made par
tics defendant. They are original bills
and not cross bills in the pending suits.
Whether they will proceed as independ-
ent bills or be ordered to stand as
cross bills in the pending suits will be
determined by the judge, but in either
event the result will be practically the
same, viz: the sale of the property I'M
der the government lien, as well as I'M
der that of the first mortgage. The bills
will be filed in the districts of Iowa, Ne
braska. Wyoming, Colorado and Utah.
Separate bills for the foreclosure of
the lien on the Kansas Pacific are in
course of preparation. These will be
filed in Missouri and Kansas. The pro-
posed arrangement was submitted to
the government directors before 1t was
closed. They all recommended it's adop-
ton. Their general opinion was thus
expressed: The government cannot pru-
IDENTIFY longer defer the settlement of
this matter. The Union Pacific system
has already been much curtailed and its
revenues have been permanently re-
duced. Reorganizations of allied and
| neignboring properties have either been
| accomplished or are in train for early
contamination, and the breaking up of
| the entire Union Pacific system has
been and is steadily progressing. 1t
| therefore seems to us inexpedient. ifnot
| dangerous, to neglect this opportunity
of realizing the sum offered and thus
| expose the government to a continuous
| depreciation of its security.
| 1t is believed that there will be high
err bids but if not an estimate shows
that with amounts already received
from the company the government will
at least realize a sum equivalent to the
principal of the subsidy bonds. with in
tarest at about 800 per cent from their
issue To the average date of their ma
turity, or about S.45 per cent from date
OF issue to Jan. l, 1897. The minimum
OF 9,'5i.O0o guaranteed the government
is III cash, SO that all relations with the
property viii terminate upon the con-
hrmation Of the foreclosure sale. The
course to be pursued with respect to the
central Pacific has not yet been deter
mined"

Co.'S weekly review of trade says: There
is more business, though not at better
prices. 1t is interesting that almost all
prices changing at all are lower than q
week ago, and yet business is unques-
tionably larger. There IL larger pro-
duction, but as yet not as much in
crease in consumption: and there is
larger buying Of materials. but at pres
ent only because better prices are ex-
pected in the future. The number Of
hands employed. all industries consid-
cred, Is slightly larger than a week
ago without adverse change in the
rate of wages AL apprehension OF for
eign disturbances Of money markets has
passed away, but there Is still great
caution in making loans.
1t Is mistake to reckon these as
symptoms Of depression. On the con-
trary, in spite of the lower range of
prices in important industries. the con-
ditions all indicate larger production
and a consumption increasing-not as
yet largely-but steadily. During the
past week wheat has declined 3-s cent,
and corn IS cent, while cotton is I'M
