Council Are Now All Benedic.s.

1t has eked out during the past few
days that some time ago a secret re-
solution was passed by the city coun-
Gil to the effect that every unmarried
member of that august body must
procure for himself helpmate before
"a year had passed, or pay a severe pen
atty. For time it seemed that no
attention would be paid to the resolu-
tion, but finally Mayor Daubney ac-
qulesed in the order and took unto
himself wife, establishing prece-
dent which was followed on last We'd
nesday by that worthy member from
the first ward, John A. NARROW The
fortunate bride is Miss Martha Thomp-
son, young lady of grace and refine
ment, and one who is highly esteemed
by all who know her. The ceremony
occurred at the residence of H. c..
Thune, Rev. DR.. Willett officiating,
and the happy couple left that after
noon for Chicago, to spend the honey
moon, returning on Monday. The
hearty congratulations of all their
friends are extended to them. Mr.
NARROW is a young man who has
taken advantage of the excellent op-
portunities afforded him, has acquired
a university education, and is highly
honored and respected by all, having
the confidence of his friends and
neighbors. May their life be filled
with richest blessings is the wish of
all

New Addition to West DEBORAH.

On Saturday morning we had the
pleasure OF drive through West De-
corah, and of being shown about the
new addition which Mr.. Joel DAYTON
has plated into lots and recorded.
and which he now has for sale. The
plat of ground contains about four
acres, and is beautiful spot border
ing on the east side of the river, Just
west and south of the present resi-
dence of Mr.. Dayton. There is
from twenty to thirty lots in the plat,
with streets properly laid out and
lots blocked off. Trees shave been
started on the lots and streets, and
along the river bank a place has been
set aside for park, where hundred
trees have Deen set out for shade and
wind break. Also in the center of the
plat is nice little park the size of
two lots There are many desirable
building lots in this plat, and he now
hopes to sell them readily to parties
who desire a good location for build
ing.
Mr.. Dayton also has some 5000 elm
trees which were planted this season
and have already grown about three
feet, besides many evergreens, and a
fine young orchard. Our attention
was also attracted to some 200 fine
white Plymouth Rock chickens
which he has, and the splendid ar
rangement of his yard for raising

NEGLECTED WOMAN PAYS
DOCTOR FOR SYMPATHY
Silly and Selfish She Enjoys Talking About
Herself to ANYONE

When DR.. Pills went abroad" said the
young physician. "he left me in charge OF
his practice, and opposite one address in
his book he made a mark that meant that
l was to call at that house every day
without fail.
1T was a woman, and she lives in a
handsome house in the best quarter of
the town. Every time went to see her
l found her in different toilet Even the
quilt was never alike two days in sue
cession. There was absolutely nothing
the matter with her but what 1 NAV call
heart ennui. She was rich Her husband
and sons were good, but they didn't pet
her nor make of her. She was simply
pining for a little sympathy. 1t diverted
her to see me come in.
1T pleased her to be able to talk about
herself to somebody who would listen She
wanted the doctor to plan her day for her.
Some days l ordered her to drive in a
closed carriage. Other days told her a
drive in her Victoria would do her a
world of good. | always cautioned her to
wrap up well. l gave her sympathy and
attention. and I made her feel that she
was an object of interest to at least one
person.
"Of course she was silly and selfish too.
but If her thic1headed family had only
thought of f1attering her. of making much
of her, of treating her with anything be-
sides their unvarying emotional kindness,
she'd never have fancied herself an inva-
lid. AS 1t was. and as it Is, she pays So
a visit for the chance to talk to somebody
who is sympathetic, and I'm willing to
supply sympathy to the whole town at
that price. New York Press.
