liOchhead Jaquea.
Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, at the home of the bride's parents in this city, occurred the marriage of Dr. John M. Loch head, of Greenfield, Ind., and Miss Lida Jaques. Relatives of the high contracting parties and a number of immediate friends witnessed the beautiful ceremony in which Rev. James Williamson officiated. The ring ceremony was used and was most beautifully carried out. The bride and groom were most becomingly attired, and the fragrant perfume of roses filled the parlors. After the ceremony the bride favored the guests each with a souvenir rose from the huge boquet she carried, thep followed congratulations, after which refreshments were served. They were the recipients of many elegant presents, principally in sterling silver. Our society parts with one of its purest and best girls in Miss Jaques, whom the doctor bear* away to their new home in Greenfield, to which place they departed by the 5 p. m. train, after the wedding. They were accompanied to the train by a .. large party of friends.
Mrs. Lochhead will return here for a short visit early in May.—Tborntown Argus.
People Have ilie Money to pay Their Taxes
Mr. D. B. Cooper Ass't cashier of the Greenfield Banking Co. says he has observed one thing this year out of the usual order in l'egard to payiug taxes. In previous years their bank has usually made from 300 to 400 short loans to people who desired money, with which to pay taxes. This spring however he says they have not made mora than 20 or 25 loans for tax payiug purposes. The people haye economized and saved up money of their own to pay taxes with. This is a lesson learned from the panic. When money is scarce and hard to get people are more careful and saving and lay by in store for a rainy day. These habits of ecouomy and saving will be a great blessing to the country when times become more prosperous as they are bound to do.

'TIS THE SAME OLD STORY
HE DIDN'T KNOW THE GUN WAS LOADED.
Gus Cornell, Aged 12 \ears, Shot With a 22-JTlobert Rifle—Not Mucli Hopes of His Recovery.
This morning Gus Cornell, aged about 12 years, of the glass works addition, went to the home of Mr. Shull, near the water works plant, and with Mr. S.'s boys, started to go hunting and fishing. While crossing afield to Brandywine creek, one of the Shull boys, about the same age as young Cornell, was carrying the latter's 22-calibre flobert rifle. The Cornell boy was playing pranks, and as he had told the Shull boys that the rifle was not loaded, the one carrying it playfully pointed it at young Cornell and pulled the trigger. All were astonished when the gun went off and the bullet struck Cornell over the left eye. He was carried to Mr. Shull's and Dr. J. P. Black was called in and was accompanied by O. O. Souders. Dr. Black found that the bullett had penetrated the skull, and as he could not locate it, it is probable that it is in the brain, and the chances are that he will not recover.
Cornell's parents are French, and can speak no English. Their children, however, speak both English and French, and interpret for th$m.
Oh! the everlasting foolishness of allowing children of that age to have guns! There also should be a law against pointing any kind of a fire-arm at a person, with a severe penalty. Parents then might so impress the matter on the minds of their children that no one would point a gun at another.
A DELIGHTFUL DINNER DANCE,
Given By Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Wells At Their Home on West Main Street.
Friday eve S. R. Wells and wife entertained a number of their friends at a handsome seven o'clock dinner. The house was most beautifully and artistically decorated with cut flowers and flowering plants, and presented a charming appearance. Each guest was given a daffodil favor. The dinner was a very elaborate one, served in eight courses, prepared and served by culinary artists from Indianapolis, and lasted until ten o'clock, during which time the Montani Bros, of Indianapolis rendered a large number of their most delightful musical selections. After dinner the gentlemen all repaired to the smoking rooui until summoned by the ladies, when the reinander of the evening was given over to dancing, which was continued until after midnight.
The following were the guests: Dr. C. K. Bruner, D. B. and George H. Cooper, George W. Duncan, Charles Downing, J. F. Mitchell, James A. Wells, W. S. Montgomery and their wives A. P. Conklin, Miss Edith Stabler, Mrs. Kraeer and Misd Clara Offutt. The occasion was.a very-enjoyable one throughout and the guests will long remember it.
Ira Jfeeley Wants the Custody of His Children and Charges His Divorced Wife With Adultery.
March 1, 1894, Mrs. Carrie Neeley was granted a divorce from Ira Neeley in the Hancock Circuit Court and given the custody of their two small children, l'ttle girls. April 12 Mr. Neeley's attorney, R. A. Black, filed a petition in the Clerk's office, asking a modification of the decree which gave the custody of the children to their mother, and asked that they be given to him. He claims she has provided no proper home for them, has become an immoral woman, both as to language and acts, that she is an inmate of a house of ill fame and has committed numerous acts of adultery with one V. E. Hall, at Dayton, Ohio.

John F. Kingen, of near Greenville, 111., a former citizen of Hancock county, is here on a business trip and visit. John is an active, vigorous young man and prospering in his home. While here he renewed for the Old Reliable, as he says the REPUBLICAN is just like a letter from home every week, and it gives a great deal more news.
We are glad to say the most successful of Greenfield's business men are fine advertisers, and as a result they have patrons not only from all over Hancock county, but from all adjoining coun ties. They are saving the people big money, as goods are sold lower here than in any adjoining county seat, or any other city in the state, so far as indicated by the prices they quote in the papers.

Sunday Ephraim Marsh, D. B. Cooper and E. P. Thayer Jr., members o£ the School Board, Prof. Geo. S. Wiison, City school Superintendent, Charles Downing Master and Sam P. Gordon and Johu T. Duncan, Wardens of Hancock Lodge No 101 F. & A. M. and John Corcoran. Eno-t Geary, J. F. Mitchell and W. S. Montgomery were at Richmond inspectiug several of
th9
city school buildings and
the new Masonic Temple there. The visitors were shown through the new Garfield school building and the city High school building by Prof. Study, Supt of schools and Architect, W. S Kaufmann. They are built upon recent and modern plan3 and the High school building with a few changes would suit our people splendidly.
The trustees, however, propose to visit a.few other cities, us it is the intention to have Greenfield's new building up to date and modern in every particular, the best possible buildiug, in fact, that cau be obtaiutd for the money, a building -that will be an honor and a credit to the city. The Masonic Temple is a grand and imposing structure, four stories high, with which the members of Hancock Lodge were very much pleased, both as to its general appearance and appointments. The probabilities are that we will have a Temple h^re built upon a very similar plan. Mr. Kaufman very kindly tendered the visitois a carriage ride over the city, showing the principal school buildings, the $400,000 court house and other points of interest, including the beautiful park, Glen Miller. The party are certainly indebted to Mr. Kaufman, Prof. Study and other gentlemen for their kindness. The Eastern Indiana Insane Hospital was visited and found to be a maguificent institution Dr. Smith, the Superintendent, was very kind in showing the visitors the institution and tendered them a handsome lunch. The excellent condition of the institution speaks well for the management of the Board of Trustees just lately retired, of which our esteemed friend, Montgomery Marsh, of this city, was president.
The visitois were very favorably impressed with Richmond, as it is one of Indiana's fairest and most progressive cities.
OBITUARY.
Died, at bta residence near Oaklandon, on Friday, January 11, Charles O. Fields. The deceased was born November 24. 1858. He was married December 16, 1885 to J. Graham, bis now deeply bereft and sorrowing widovr. The fruit of this happy union was five children, three daughters and two sons, one child having preceeded him to the land of unbroken rest, while the four are left to mourn the lss of an affectionate and loving father. His death was caused by typhoid fever. He was a loving father, kind husband, honest in all his dealiugs and was honored by all who knew him. His many friends sympathize with his sorrowing family
I
this their great af
fliction. Besides the members of his family he leaves three brothers and two sisters, a father and mother, and a host of frienls to mourn his loss.
Dear father tliou hast left us, Death has claimed thee for his own, You have gone to join the angets
In that bright celestial home.
When wc gather round the fireside How we miss thy smiling fnce, Could we only call thee back again
To fill that vacant place.
Now we often near the clinrch yard, Where his loving form lies dead, Oh can it be that their cear father
Sleeps in that narrow bed. MRS. JOSIE BEVER,
