Considerable sickuens. Mrs. George Wise contemplates having a public sale in the ..ear future.

It is said one of our county newspapers has but few readers up here. The Odd Fellows are talking of erecting a lodge hall in the village of Kirkpatrick.

Joel Conrail is going to devote considerable of his time the coining season to bee culture.

Lncle Thomas Ward talks of selling his Waterloo farm and moving back to Coal Creek township.

The boys say they do not mind spending a night.or so at our county jail, but they are compelled to look at the Bible.

At the Democratic Assembly a few days since in Crawfordsville O. W. Stingley was elected township central committeeman John K. Parker, of Linden, precinct committeeman of No. 1, and Walter H. McBee, of Kirkpatrick, No. 2. They are all Democrats of the old Hardshell Baptist denomination of Madison township congiegation. it is all right for a family to have a littie breeze once in a while for popularity's sake but such wrangle te waddle as some of the Democrats are making may prove to be unproductive along about fodder time next fall. It is expected along about strawberry time that the whole political arena will be in high fever. Both old parties will be looking for a chief .magistrate for the campaign.

The snow is said to be a grand thing for the growing wheat crop, as it was looking very bad in many places previous to the snow fall.

The new M. E. church at Linden will be dedicated on the last Sunday in this month so we have been informed. It is a nice building and speaks well of the surrounding country.

W. L. Cochran and brother came in from Illinois a few days ago with four head of tine blooded horses. Mr. Cochran is proving to bo one of Montgomery county's successful stock raisers.

We quote from good authority that Oran W. Stinglev, of Madison township, will be a candidate for representative in the Democratic convention, subject to free trade, good health, abundance of good crops with an advance in the markets of all agriculture and horticultural products.

It seems as it takes all kinds of people to make a world and those who are disposed to the taking of lap robes, bed quilts, horse blankets and buggy whips are one class of people we have no use for. A stitch in times saves nine. Roys, acknowledge your sins, repent ask forgiveness aud you shall receive it.

Harvey Howard has sold his house •and lot to John Pixley on .--ast Plum street.

It is said we would not have anv cold weather this winter, as the wind was blowing from the soutii when the sun crossed the line, but there always was and always will b.» false prophets."

People who are in favor of temperance should lend a helping hand to aid th" cause by attending the lodge meetings one night out of the week

well as the

T. J. Madigan, road master on the Clover Leaf, dined at the Bennett house on last Monday. Tom has fifty miles more of the road to examine. His division is now between Marion and Charleston, l(j" miles.

A good bunch of cotton tails lunv been killed during the last few days. There is plenty of them left to cause the gardener and farmer not to unwrap his fruit trees until the snow stops falling as they will gnaw off the bark and kill the tree

He told hrr Friday afternoon that he would be up early Sunday evening, as he had something of r:\at importance to tell her. and a present to give hfv. With a woman's keen intuition, she knew what the something importance would be. and she looked forward to the hour with sweet expectation. He was there on time, but hardly in the condition he desired.

A heavy cold had tackled him the night before, and his eyes were red and inflamed and his nose was nearly twice its natural size, and shone with a luster that would have appeared to much better advantage on a door plate. Singularly enough, the young lady was similarly conditioned. She ushered him into the parlor, and, without any preliminary ceremony, they were on the sofa together. Ho took out his handkerchief, and, finding a dry section, wiped his nose. This reminded her of a duty she owed herself, and she attended to it at once. He held one of her hands in one of his, and Ins handkerchief in the other. Then he spoke: ••Susad, I cub donide do dalk do you of subdig dearer—ah-ah-ooh (a prompt: application of the handkerchief cuts off the sneeze in its bud)—dearer dome rhad my libe ah-ah—thad id—ooh-ooh-ker chew, ker chew, ker chew!" A moment's pause. "I'be god ad awvul code," he explains with due solemnity. "Sobo I," she sympathizingly replies.

A moment is devoted to a silent use of the handkerchiefs, and then lie continues: "Darlig, you nmsd hab seed all de tibe how mudge—ooh-ooh ker (the handkerchief again saves him)—how mudge I hab dhought ob you. Ebry hour ob de day or nide—ah-ah-ooh—ooh-ch-ch-frer chew, Keh chew,

IvER ClIEW!"

"Tliid id awvul," lie protested, walking around the room for the final explosion had raised him to his feet. She wiped her eyes and then her nose, and then made an honest endeavor to look languishing but owing to the watery condition of the former and the fiery glow of the latter she appeared to an unhappy advantage. But ho did not notice it. He felt of his proboscis tenderly for a moment, and then returned to her side. "Darlig, I oud no lawger lib widoud you. Widoud you libe would ideed be a widderdess: wid"

She.impulsively raised her hand. •'Ker-ker-ker

chew!"

she shouted.

He paused and gazed tenderly out of his inflamed eyes upon her convulsed features. "Darlig. lie softly continued, seeing she was through, "you cad neber know how mudge ah-ooh-ooh-ah-ker chew, ker—wish—sh-sh-er-r-r, ker chew, leer chew— Ooh, my! Oh, dear!" he wailed, impetuously grabbing for his handkerchief, while the tears ran down his cheeks.

She took advantage of the lull to unobtrusively apply her handkerchief. "Susad," he .began again, grasping her hand with fervor, and clutching his handkerchief with equal earnestness, "what .id libe widoud lub? Noddig. Darlig, do yoo, cad yoo. lub me edough to be iny—ah-ah-ooh-ker chew! Heavigs, thid id awvul!" He mopped the perspiration from his troubled countenance, and then waited until she reappeared from behind her handkerchief, when he resumed: "I ask aged, darlig, cad yoo lub me edough to be me wibe'r"

The young girl dropped her head upon his breast, put her arm around his neck, and was just about to speak the glad answer. when a sudden spasm shook her frame, and she went off into a series of sneezes which fairly endangered the safety of her fair neck. "Oh, my lub! Oh, my hrechious!" he sypathizingly exclaimed "sbeak, oh, sbeak!—abooh-ooh-ker-chew, ker chew, ker chew!" he roared.

She fell into his arms again, perfectly -exhausted. "You'll be luide. all mide?" he gasped. "I will, Hedry, will!" she hoarsely w-hispered

He drew her to him with all' his strength and slipped the ring upon her trembling finger aud there they stood together, their reddened and half closed eyes blinking in sweet, holy ecstasy upon each other, while their exhausted nostrils shone with a dim refulgence. "My boor darlig has god sudge a bad code." he sympathizingly murmured. "So id mj- Hedry," she softly whispered back. "i dode gare for myselb. I"—"he suddenly put her away, recovered his handkerchief and instantly went off in a paroxysm of sneezes. "Oh!" he sighed, as he regained a perpendicular again and mopped off his face, which was now almost purple in hue. "You must dake sub medicid for that code tonide," she said. "Both ob us," he added. .. "Yes, ad you'll zoak your feed in hod wader." "I will, ad you'll zoak yours?" he eagerly asked. "I will," she solemnly replied. "Hevig bless you, my darlig, my brecious darlig!" lie murmured, -jlasping her tightly to his breast. And then he stole out into the darkness and she lingered a moment at the door, and heard his dear voice ring out on the night air as he passed away "Ker chew, ker chew,

Ni:w VmiK, Jan. •jo.--The Recorder's Washington special --ay-. "A long dispatch has been received at the navy de partmcnt from (\nn ma nder Kva.is. Capt. Kvaus has reported to the department that four of the ticst cruisers in the Chilian navy will leave Valparaiso January for the straits of Magellan. with a torpedo boat, besides. From another officer comes the additional information that the captain of one of the KngUsh ships of ar in these waters said that the Chilian commander informed him that the fleet, was going "on a special mission." "You may be astonished before long," lie said.

Chili to Op»Mi tl lt.il! 3I«n'*pir. The news is interpreted to mean that Admiral talker's fleet may be halted 1 here and directed to turn back or risk a light. This is the most serious indication of Chili's hostile intentions that the department lias received. .Naval ofliccrs say it can only mean one thing, which is that Chili intends opening the ball her-elt The vessels to go are said to In- liie Ksmeralda. the Aliuirante oehrane. the l'into, anew nnarmored cruiser, whose sailing rate is nineteen knots an hour, and the Condell. the famous fast torpedo boat that blew up the Blanco Kncalado.

Admiral Wiilker Wsirin'il.

Admiral Walker, in his flagship, the Chicago, arrived at Montevideo January It. He was informed of what might await liiiu and warned to make reaily for it. For the Jirst time there is real alarm here at the threatened danger to Admiral Walker. His squadron is not equipped with torpedoes and the Chicago might be blown up in spite of the utmost, vigilance. It would be a daring and plucky attempt, but so was the successful attempt, oil the I'.laneo Kncalado.

Capt. Kvans also informs the department that he is taking the most extreme precautions on account of "•diat he has been told for the safety of the orktown. He docs not intend to be bU»w vi...u,ut..iMtV,.the..vwater if he can help it.

Feeling iii \Vu«liiiii Uii.

W a in to Jan. :M. .News of startliuir naval possibilities reaches Washington, and at the same time comes 1 lie information from Minister Kgan that tin* authorities in Santiago are coining closer to a dclinitc proposition looking to a friendly settlement. The minister's message before tin cabinet meeting Tuesday was general as to the suggestions he had received from Foreign Minister l'creira. but he has supplemented it with an intimation of his own belief thaj the prospect is improving and tliu? it may hi' worth while to give further consideration to what, the Montt cabinet has to say. He represents that he is merely awaiting the proposition the foreign minister makes and thinks it possible that the disa vowal of the Matta letter may be i.iade satisfactory.

A Naval KiiK»K-ii«iit I'l-olialtlc. While the outlook at Santiago is therefore more promising the skies are darker in alparaiso, which j)i*accally dictates the policy of t.be government. Consul MeCreary lias found the ugly feeling against Americans increasing. This is not so important in itself as the news that th Chilian naval authori-ti-sar.* showing a more hostile spirit tlian ever, and a naval engagement in the straits of Magellan within the next few days is not altogether improbable. Secretary Tracy has advices from Cominanier Kvans which make the naval outlook threatening. The Chilian fleet is undoubtedly on its way to the straits of Magellan. liu-lc Sun's I'le pa I ii.ns

On the part of the I'liited States there is no lel-up in the naval preparations. it was acknowledged at the navy department Tuesday that Hear Admiral Gherardi had left Harbadoes with the Philadelphia. bound for Montevideo. This fact ii ils to confirm the statement made in these dispatches that. Admiral (iherardi would in all probability be placed in command of the naval torces in the event of a war with I hili. It also leaked out Tuesday that the gunboat Concord, which lias been with the Philadelphia at Harbadoes, left there a week ago for Montevideo. The. fleet at Montevideo will soon thereafter be reinforced by the Xcwark and tin* Miantouomoh, and it is expected that it. will remain at Montevideo until needed for actiou in Chi.ian waters, unless another revolution should break out in Chili meantime, in which case it would sail at once for Valparaiso, iu order to be available, there for guarding- United States interests and citizens.

The Menxugo Still Dvlity«|. V* President. Harrison's message and the accompanying diplomatic and naval correspondence will go to congress tomorrow, but this is not because of any reassuring news received from Chili pitber through Minister Egan in Santiago or through Minister Montt iu Washington. Nothing in the way of ipology or reparation has come from the South American country.

Our Strolli Militia Fort-p.

1'he reports of the strength of the militia in the various states have been coming iu of late, although they have not been in response to any special request of the department but are the regular routine reports. The Illinois report was made two months ago. The New York report lias been iu the hands of the department for several weeks, and its substance was made public at Albany at the tiuie it was sent to Washington.

There is hardiy a si.itc in the country, north or onth, whieh do.--, not. ur.iU.* .t showing of au effecti\ mi ilia l.ircc. weil drilled, well equipped and receiving both arms ami ammunition from the fedc ra 1 govern a lent, under the general law lor the encouragement of slate militia.

CHILI SEEKS TIME.

It I'ruinisei to Stiitn Kindly Wllilt It Will llii ft, Will lti «ruiit.el. Wa in to Jan. vJl. Chili wants time to make a proposition. It wantsto put the whole controversy on anew basis. This is the news which comes from Minister Kgan in Santiago. Wheu the proposition ismailt it may be interpreted by the' United States as warlike or it may be accepted its a peace ott-Vriug. Hut it at least asks the opportunity to make it. Minister lOgau has been notified that instruetnons will be sent to Minister Mount soon for a change of negotiations. Mr. Kgan evidently thinks that time should be given for a new propositionto be formulated. So the president'* message and the correspondence willnot, go to congress to-day, Jtmay beFriday or it may be Monday, but the Chilians will have the opportunity for their latest expression to lie put before congress at the same time. Up' to Wednesday evening Minister Montt had not. received his instructions, but he is looking for them every da v. What hili has to say will be in the nature of an ultimatum from it. not in the offensive sense, but iu the way of reply to the Ignited States government. It will fully define its position on all the points in controversy, declare' how tar it is ready to go in the direction of apologizing for the MuLta letters as well as in making reparation for the Italtimore outrage. If itspropositions are not satisfactory to the I nited Stales—and the belief is thati they will not be--then it will be cither war or arbitration.
