Marriage Liecmcs.

The following persons have been granted marriage licenses since our last report: Clarence F. Wood and Ora M. Catt. Isaac Wiltshire and Elizabeth M. Knouff.

From one of our exchanges we note some very peculiar methods adopted by the W. C. T. U. of Oscela, Neb., where members of that order wrote letters to five young ladies, signed the names of gentlemen to the communications and appointed a park as the meeting place. When a young lady arrived she was seized, bound and received a terrible beating from the of these women regulators. Eleven of the regulators have been arrested and are now on trial before the District Court. Every one of the women say they are proud oy their recent exploit, and pose as the greatest reformers of morals of the age. It is unfortunate that the old Puritan system of using the stocks is not in vogue, for we know of no better punishment than this for women who so far forget their position in society as to become a part of that infamous gang the white cappers. Lewis Bull, one of Barkley township’s best young men, at last succumbed to that dreadful disease, consumption, Thursday of last week. For two years or more he had been ailing and at last answered the call of the alwise God. He was about 28 years of age, was a single man, made friends wherever he went and was liked by all who knew’ him. He was the son of “Uncle Billy” Bull, who is well known over the county. The deceased was a member of the I. O. 0. F., of this place, which order conducted the funeral services at the Barkley grave yard on Friday afternoon.

Josiah Thornton, a sonof Henry Thornton, living in the north part of town, who’ is attending school at Valparaiso, is an important witness in the Robinson 1 robbery case, which occurred there several weeks ago. He: was one of the first persons to i hear the trouble in the normal building, and quickly gave pursuit to the robbers, together with several other students. The ladies of the F. W. Bap-j tist church have hit upon a novel | scheme to raise money for that denomination. They are making a quilt, and will embroider the name of any person desiring it upon the quilt for a nominal sura, and when completed will be sold to' the highest bidder. Ex-sheriff Snyder, of Benton county, has leased the creamery building at Fowler and will at once put in a steam laundry plant. It seems to us that a good laundry would pay here. It does so at other towns, not so large as Rensselaer, either. Subsciptions taken for any pa- i per or magazine at this office.
