Blood
Poison

A man afflicted with Contagious
Blood Poison, might as well commit
suicide as to take the mercur'
poisons which are always prescribe
by the doctors. If he takes those
poisons, he might as well make his
will and get ready for the under
taker. Perhaps this is plain talk,
but it is true, and truth is unpleas-
ant sometimes.

Terrible White Ants.

Stories of the ravages of termites, or
"white ants, come from the curator Of
the Australian museum at Sydney, says
The Youths Companion. Some time
ago they destroyed the roof of the mu-
scum building, and it had to be re-
placed with covering composed large
ly of steel and copper. Their work, be-
ing carried on in the interior of the
timber, does not reveal itself until the
structure is about ready to fall to pieces,
and SO it was only recently that the fact
came out that the ants had also de-
stroyed the underpinning Of one of the
important floors of the museum.

A Unique Wedding.

young people are well known in this
city and in Bourbon, Mr.. Snepp having

in Plymouth. AS soon as the license
was issued the pair proceeded to the L.

At 11:42 the lamps in the church had
been lit and everything was IN readiness
for the ceremony. Besides the con-
tracing parties f. w Mckinney and

to act the parts respectively of best man

III WAS ROMANTIC.
SOCIETY is ALL IN a
FLUTTER
On Account of the Marriage of Mabel
kIce, of South Bend, TO Mark Snepp, of
BOurbon-This Was the Midnight w ed
ding at the L. IL. Parsonage,

A dispatch from Bourbon states that
the little village is all in a flutter over
the romantic marriage of Miss Mabel
Rice to Mr.. Mark Snepp. Miss Rice
came to Bourbon from South Bend
some six weeks ago to visit her grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Rowan. at
their country home Immediately after
she came Mr.. Snepp renewed childhood
acQuaintances which soon ripened into
mutual love and his visits became more
and more frequent until in select cir
cles it was the great theme of converse
ton.
Mr. Rowan and wife began trying to
break OFF the rumored engagement and
the elimination of the effort was the
arrival of Miss Rice's aunt, Mrs. Belle
Smoke, of South Bend, Monday, to take
Miss Rice home. A meeting of the
young man and the relatives resulted
in heated argument in which the
young woman took her sweetheart's s
part. After family consultation last
ing all the afternoon Miss Rices trunk
was packed, taken to the depot and
checked, but when the time cape for
the train Mr.. Snepp appeared with an
order from Miss Rice to "not send the
trunk" after which they were accom-
panied to Plymouth by Miss Inez ones
and Mr.. Frank Mckinney and the
marriage ceremony was performed
The secret of the family's objections,
it is said, was that Miss Mabel had
been receiving attentions from CON-
mercial man from Chicago, said to be
worth large amount of money, and it
was rumored they were engaged.
While Mr.. Snepp is not rich. he has @
lovely home in Bourbon and is an ex-
pert telegraph operator for the Penn
sylvania railroad. He is a handsome,
dignified young man and is cousin of
Paul Dresser, the song writer of "On
the Banks of the Wabash" fame, which
song, it is said, Mark sang with such
sweetness that when Mabel first heard
him sing it, caused the old love to re-
turn with renewed energy, with the
romantic marriage as the result.
The bride is as pretty as a picture,
vivacious, with merry laugh that has
turned the hearts of scores Of young
men. Her mother died some years ago.
Rev. Mr.. Lands, of the L. b. church,
performed the ceremony at midnight
in front of the altar. 1t was the most
impressive ceremony ever enacted In
this county.

few ready neighbors, Amos Miller and
his two sons and Sherman Orr, the
house was saved. Some difficulty was

the usual long array of bills were pre-

In response to petition presented
several weeks ago the acting committee
on electric lights investigated locality
in the neighborhood of Thayer and
Dickson streets. The nocturnal en-
vironment of that neighborhood was
decided to contain all the light needed.
In consequence the petitioners will here
after be obliged to look on the dark eide
of things, unless they choose to place in
electric wires and carbons at their own
expense.
