A LITTLE RACY.
Pike Style In the HItchlne
Or Marrying,
Art.

The following is little rich,
rare and racy. The story is taken
from the Louisiana Press:
Tuesday at 1 pm. Michcal o.
Conner and Mrs. Maggie +. DcFoe
and baby, acco mpanied by the lat
ters, Mrs. McGeorge and her baby
and their uncle, Jerry Mccain, all
of Ashburn, drove to town in Il
surrey from Bowling Green, where
in the forenoon, Mrs. DeFoc, thru
her attorney, j. w .MatsOn, had Sc
cured a divorce from her husband,
VIM. DeFoc. The party went to
the office of Judge Lloyd Reeds,
where Mr.. O'Conner and Mrs. De-
Foe were married, Judge Reeds
officiating. VIM. DeFOe, the first
husband, is now said to be serving
sentence in the Nebraska peni.
Tertiary for burglary. The story
of Maggie Stcelc's marriage to
VIM. DeFOc is a sad and pathetic
one. \ few years ago the fellow
dropped in at Ashburn and APP
peared to he straight, gcntecl
man. He cOurted and won the
heart and hand of Miss Maggie
Steele, and after few short weeks
of their acquaintance, the couple
We're made man and wife. 1t was
but short time until the young
wife discovered that her husband
was not all that he represented
himself to he and when be- burglar
lied house at Hannibal her cup
of grief was full to overfowing
and she returned to her father.
DeFoe drifting into Nebraska
followed his old profession of bur
glary and was soon in the hands Of
officers, and his sentence to the
penitcntiary followed. She brought
suit for divorce. In the meantime
O'Conner won the heart of the la
dy, and Tuesday when divorce was
granted he was on the ground
ready to apply for marriage license.
Mrs DeFOe is Il sister of Miss
Jessie Steele who was married
to Ira Nielc in kcokuk, Iowa, Il
few weeks ago. After eluding her
father she came to this city with
her intended husband in II skiff
where they took train for keokuk.
The ceremony was performed by
Judge Reeds in the latest style of
the hitching art. On account Of
the antics of the thermometer he
wore no coat or vest and the back

The bride was dressed III white
and wore a white hat trimmed with
white flowers. Both the babies
seemed to enjoy the proceedings
immensely and when the ceremony
was concluded Mr.. McCann, who
had been holding the brides baby,
which is nearly "A year ol |, turned
it over to the new father for Il
wedding present. As the bridal
party went down the steps the
groom was heard to remark that
he wouldn't take 5000 for his
bride. 1t is good to feel that way
and the Press congratulates the
groom, the bride aud the baby

Farm Notes.

Some one must raise the ordina-
ry cattle and it is claimed by many
that they pay better than fancy
stock in some instances.
When the potato bushes are
heavy with dew sprinkle heavy
with common wood stove ashes,
and the bugs will no longer modest
them.
Dissolve salt in water until il
will carry an egg, then with spray
pump thoroly spray all roosting
beams, nests, cracks and rrcviccS,
and YOU will be- troubled no more
with vcrmn.
\ good thing for cattle these
days is II lot of brush suspended
from the top of the sheds. II
serves to keep the flies away, and
is quite inexpensive. Some build
skeleton sheds for the purpose
with the brushes hinged.
When the swine are thoroly wet
with rain pour some Swill in II
trough, so you can sprinkle or
throw ashes on their backs, and
the lice will leave. The material
for the above purposes are not on
ly cheap, hut easily secured and eff
fectivc.
Farmers as II rule are too care
less with their fruit stock. That
is the reason why 50 many make

WHAT THIS SECTION NEEDS

ton was made OF the Intention OF
the government 20 put 4 new and
up-to date dredge to work in the
Inner bays on the Texas coast dur
ing the coming summer, work TO be
commenced near Galveston, the in
tention being the opening up of in
land navigation along the coast
from the Sabine to the Bio Grande.
While this is encouraging news, It
Is a long ways from being Satisfas-
tory to this section, as everyone
knows that commencing work ut or

fore any active work is done down

activity upon the part of the gov

THE EVER GROWING SLEEVE
Those for Eastern Gowns Will Be
Positively Prodigious.

The Very big sleeves that prevailed four
or five years ago have been restored to
supremacy once more by the simple de-
vice of turning themselves upside down.
The balloons of dress goods, that used to
widen feminine shoulders monstrously
and fill the caricaturist with Joy, now
swell and puff and ripple and<tuck with
perfectly amazing prodigality of deco
rative material about the region of the
wrist and forearm only. Up at the Shout
