"LUCRETIA'S PROMISED TO MARRY
 ME-" HE SAID. FIRMLY. said nothing to her sister. She felt crushed and humiliated, someway. It seemed to her, as If Deacon Goodyear had trified with them all as family. She would have talk with Lizzie and find out how the poor girl took it.
 She walked into the schoolroom after the children were gone, with distressed face, at sight of which Lizzie's smile dimmed little.
 "Oh, Aunt Maria" she said; T hope you're not disappointed?"
 "At what?" asked Miss Maria.
 Because refused Deacon Goodyear. Did he tell you? I was so surprised. for had thought he was good to me on account of being family friend. But last night he came around so sol emn, and asked me to marry him in such a mournful manner! I'm afraid you'll think me wicked. Aunt Maria, but I actually laughed after I was alone to think what good joke Arthur would have thought 1t. And then cried, thinking that in Heaven we might not care for jokes. But to-day have been thinking how much you asked us there together. and was so afraid you wanted something of the kind"
 T never thought of such a thing" declared Miss Maria, with perfect truth. She pondered on the deacon's strange behavior as she went slowly homeward What would Lucretia say?
 A sound of voices reached her from the sitting-room. Deacon Goodyear, no longer depressed or mournful, sat beside her sister. Miss Lucretia's cheeks were a soft pink.
 "Oh, Maria." she said
 Miss Maria turned inquiringly to- ward the deacon, who colored, but met her gaze unflinchingly.
 'Lucretia's promised to marry me-" he said. firmly
 Miss Maria gave him whitening look.
 Allow me to congratulate you" she said. She put away her bonnet and went straight to the kitchen. putting her head back through the door to in- quire: "will your young man stay to tea. Lucretia7"
 Deacon Goodyear followed her out. carefully closing both doors behind him.
 Look here. now" he said. in low but determined voice: you probably think this is terribly funny. and maybe it does look queer Lucretia's the one wanted all the time But kept a-hearing reports about how was courting of Lizzie. and kind of thought maybe my attentions did re ouire an offer. But Lizzie didn't want me. Then kind of thought that maybe your turn come next. But neither did you want me. Then. having fulfilled my duty to the best of my knowledge. there didn't seem to be any reason why shouldn't follow my inclination and ask Lucretia. Twas her I wanted all the time
 He rzussd. Mss Maria poked the 6re vigorously.
 ~Czarina vas a good wife 10 me- said the deacon, refectively. She stood by me through thick and thin. and ve bore the burden and heat of the day together But I wanted Lu- rretia 90 years ago
 Mis- Maria hung the poker back with a jerk
 Well she said. ~Lucretia's of age and some considerably over. IT she wants to ussrry. she can--

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

H-. F
 That troublesome pain In the small of tho back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord, nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism. neuralgia, gout. headaches, dizzy spells, nausea. indigestion. weak heart, gravel. stone in the kidneys. dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small of the back. or first notice anything wrong with the urine. don't delay a moment. Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have a quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood, cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine. cure hack ache, dizziness and languor, and per manently heal the kidneys.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Doan's Kidney Pills Is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.

New hay, stored in the NOV of barn
on the farm of John Jones az Emerald
Grove, caught fire from spontaneous
combustion Thursday morning and the
flames totally destroyed all the farm
buildings, including the dwelling house,
on the place. Before being discovered
the blaze had made good Roadway in the
barn and all the efforts of the entire
community could not prevent it's spread
ing to the surrounding structures 1t is
impossible as yet to estimate the loss, as
much of the contents of the buildings
was not saved.
-Four men and two women, who had
been inmates of the Rock county insane
asylum for ten years past, are to be re-
moved this week to the new asylum at
Marinette. All are afflicted beyond the
hope of recovery and Rock county has
cared for them all these years because
Marinette county has had no asylum, re-
ceiving SIS per week for their board.
Recently there has been erected in Mar
inette county one of the most modern
and well-appointed asylums'in the state
and such expenditures as the Sc, 1850 for
the care of the six patients in Rock
county will hereafter be saved. Supt
Killam has received word that several
new patients will be sent here from the
asylum at Mendoza.

The subject of incorporation is still
being talked among our citizens, and
while there are some who do not favor
it, the sentiment for independent village
government seems to be increasing.
While it is quite likely that the question
if put to a vote now would receive an af-
tirmative answer, the forces are unor-
ganized and lack leadership. Those who
have in the past put in time and money,
while still favoring it, are unwilling to
take any action beyond placing their
vote, and no new ones appear able or
willing to take the lead. Should az eff
fort be made a new census would have
to be taken and new survey made.

In the recent and sad death of Henry

here.

Howard were returning from attending

arm, while Mr. Lifts was more seriously
injured His wife, however, managed to
escape without any serious damage.
It seems that some of the Evansville
business men still have reason to COM
plain of petty thieving. 1t was only a
few weeks ago that some one broke into
the wool house of Billiard & Searles and
took away several pieces of wool, and on
Sunday evening the case YVES repeated,
only in the difference, larger haul was
made. The first feeces taken were ma
tive wool and being easy to dispose of,
as Identification would be impossible,
but the latter haul was of western wool
on which the reverse will be the result.
Local parties are the supposed purloin-
ers.
Two years ago Evansville presented
the name of A S Baker for the position
without solicitation on his part, and the
result was entirely satisfactory as to his
election. His work during the last SEES
sion is a matter of record, and was in
such manner that he has been impor-
tuned to accept the Office another term.
The request has not been from his home
friends, so much as it has come from
prominent and influential voters else
where in the district, and at late hour
he has finally decided to enter the race
for another term.
