A quiet wedding took place at the home of John Loehr, last night the contracting parties being Clarence Shumway and Luey Millikan. Rev. Barclay officiated. Mr. Shunway is an employe at Mr. Loehr's barber shop and is an industrious young man. His new wife is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Millikan. They will go to house keeping next week in a house on Swope street, and their many friends wish them joy.
A neighboring paper tells of a woman who disguised herself as a man and clerked in a store for a year and applied for membership in the Knights of Pythias and was initiated. During the work of the third degree they nse an Indian rubber rat and a celluloid snake, which run by clock work inside, and which are very natural indeed. The idea is to let them run at the candidate to see if he will fliuch. When the snake ran at the girl she kept her nerve all right, but when the rat tried to run up her trousers' leg she grabbed up her imaginary skirts in both hands and jumped into a refrigerator that was standing near and screamed bloody murder. The girl is a member of the order, however, and there is no help for it. The secret societies here, we understand, take precaution against the admission of women by carefully examining the feet of the applicant. If the feel are cold and tendered enough to freeze ice cream, the candidate is blackballed.
Scrap At a Dance.
At a dance at the home of Tom Ash on North State street, Bert Breece and VV m. Brown got into difficulty and Brown knocked Breece over the head with some instrument, supposed to be a revolver, which inflicted a bad gash. They were arrested by Marshall Scott- and Policeman Jeffries last night. Their trial came up before Mayor Duncan this morning who fined and costed Brown $11.55 and Breece $10.35. Unless an officer is stationed at one of these dances, a fight always follows.
Kun Over Hy a Horse.
One night the first of the week, Levi Slifer. who lives east of the city was walking in the road when some young men, who were riding on horseback, recklessly dashed by him. Mr. Slifer was knocked down aud badly bruised by a horse stepping on him. His shoulder was dislocated, but was put in place by Dr. Howard, Sr., aud he is now doing all right. Tlie grand jury should get a,hold of such reckless riders.

To-day is the first day of spring and there is an old saying that the first three days of March are indicative of the three spriug months. Such being the case, the present month will be rough and disagree able. Do not get discouraged, however, old sayings are not always true.

The body of Jacob Newman, who is supposed to have drowned himself in Blueriver has not been found yet. Tracks haye been found which went from his buggy to the river and some were also found on the ico in the river.

His neighbors don't give the suicide theory much credence.

It is said that she has not spoken a word for more than three months. When spoken to she simply shakes or nods her head, as the case may be. It is to be hoped that she will speedily recover and return to her family and friends, who have the sympathy of all. ..
The JLadies Did Well Financially With the "Evening Republican."
The ladies who had charge of the REPUBLIC/ N on the 22nd, cleared $106.06, above all expenses on their paper of-that day. Their "Colonial Tea" netted them the sum of $40. The gross receipts of both were $209.50, net receipts on both $146.06.
The above report was handed in by the ladies and we congratulate them on their success. A few people were mean and contemptible enough to try to pour cold water on the enterprise and discourage the ladies, but they can see from the above report that their efforts were unavailing. Verily, the kicker has a hard road to travel. He is held in contempt by most people and certainly cannot think much of himself.

A Newspaper Romance.
Daniel McDonald, of the Plymouth Democrat, writes the following romance of high editorial life: "An Indiana editor and a rich widow were engaged to be married, when the neighbors began to talk about it, charging he was marrying her for her riches. The noble-minded young editor was grieved at this, of course, and he persuaded his affinity to turn all her worldly pelf over to the eldest daughter and thus prove to the world the sincerity and unselfishness of his affection. The trusting widow did so, and the very next night the editor eloped with the girl and in the morning the widow pied the forms in the office and would have pied the form of the editor also if she had found him."
Assaulted at Church.
John Kennedy aged 55 years of Brown township was assaulted and beaten insensible by Lewis, Frank and Robert Railsback, three young Madison county toughs, at the Nashville church on the county line. This occurred Friday night February 21st, and the assault made simply because Mr. Kennedy came out of the church and remonstrated with the gang because they were.disturbing the meeting. Mr. Kennedy was injured internally and is seriously ill because of his injuries. Sherifi Starr of Anderson arrested Frank Railsback last Friday night and lodged him in jail. The others fled but they will no doubt be apprehended. Mr. Kennedy was much worse yesterday and.five doctors held a consultation. It was found that he was in a much worse condition than was first supposed, and his chances for recovery are very doubtful. Sheriff Pauley has received word that the sheriff of Madison county will tyring one and possibly all of the men in the fight, here to-morrow.
A Little Girl's Leg Broken.
Thursday afternoon as, Thomas Williams was driving by the school-house at Brown's Chapel, the children attempted to stand close to the carriage he was driving, and-it seems in some way a boy shoved Charles Crider's little 8 year-old girl and her fe&t became entangled iu the wheels. The curtains of the carriage being down, Mr. W. knew nothing of the accident and oifly stopped his horses when he heard (Some one screaming. When he got out hV found the little girls left leg partially wrtfjbped around the axle, the flesh cut to the bbn*s and the latter badly crushed. Dr. Howard, Sr., was called and reduced th&* fracture, which is indeed a bad one. This morning he called in his son, Dr. Howard, Jr., to assist in dressing it, and he informed our reporter that the little girl would get along right. Children should b^ very careful abojpt getting near passing vehicles, but they are no more venturesom than older people, as is shown by the following dispatch:
Two Bold Girls Mangled.
