The Arlington hotel is one of the largest and best equipped hotels on Lake Maxenkuckee, and is t lie property of W. ,1. Knapp, a conductor on the Vandalia II. II. who resides at South P.end.

As Clerk Wilt long was attending to his usual duties Wednesday, the door opened and admitted a couple, whose every movement indicated that they were there for no common purpose. After learning that they were in the place where "licenses" were sold, the prospective groom asked the clerk to marry them. John told them he was not cut out for that kind of work, but would assume the responsibility of a steering comrnitte. Clerk Wiltfong guided them up the back stairs into the presence of Judge Capron, who did the work up quickly. 'ooiiiiis-ioners Meeting. From Thursday's Daily.

A MAN NAMED JOHNSON IN TROUBLE. To .Many eel Hearts Caused Him to he IMiM-eil In Homme Vile - Arrested on t'liarne Made ly a Coy Willow Ilmloot the Otlieer. This world of ours is full of trouble, and within the past few days, a young man by the name of Louis Johnson, a carpenter, thinks the iron hand of fate has been dead set against him. It seems that Johnson for some time past lias lived supremely happy in the presence of a comely widow named Antlers. No cloud appeared to mar the peace of this loving couple, until a few short weeks ago. At this time another woman who had previously, so we are informell, found "marriage a failure," appeared upon the scene. One glance of her loving eye struck Johnson so forcibly, that forgetting all the promises he had made No. 1, he commenced making love to No. 2, also blowing in his money for much muslin and other necessities pertaining to house keeping and we are toid the day was set for the consummation of their recently exchanged vows. These stones came to the ears of widow No. 1. Did she sit down and write loving epistles to the faithless knight, or lock herself up in her room and weep for her lost love? Well we guess not. She proceeded to a court of Justice, and there filed a complaint, accusing this man Johnson, of being the direct cause of a great deal of trouble to her. Johnson was arrested Tuesday and confined in the bastile. When left alone to ponder over his waywardness, he soon became convinced that widow No. I held the winning hand, and ran up the white Hag of truce, promising to give up No. 2 and marry her. Wednesday afternoon Constable Lauer, took his prisoner in the country, so that he could raise the little sum of 1S.U0 that had been piled up against him, and also to permit him to don a suit of clothes lit for a bride-groom to wear upon the near approaching event. When they arrived at a farm house where Johnson was confident he could receive the necessary funds, he asked Lauer's permission to interview his friend confidentially on the other side of the fence. Ira granted the permission, and right there is where he learned that human nature is very deceitful. Johnson got over the fence and talked to this friend. Suddenly a streak of varied colors Hashed before Lauer's eyes and as he gazed in amazement, the coat tails of Johnson disappeared behind a com crib, and he made good his escape. It is understood that No. 2 is delighted at his escape, and that under her instructions he was getting out of the Iloosier state, after which she would go to him, and thus No. I, would be left in the soup. I.AI'AZ. Milton White is reported very sick with lung fever. Mrs. Win. shirland is classed among the invalids this week. Prof. Ilostetler has started another term of writing school.

Mr. Jacoby and daughter, of Plymout h, were in our city over Sunday, the guests of Mr. llrugh, the hotel man. Mr. Hansen has put in a stock of groceries in the old Deniston store room. The carpenters are hustling the work on the creamery. No doubt it will add much to the appeaianceof our niiin st reet. The Dakota boomer had quite an audience Friday and several of his hearers contemplate going there in the spring. Mrs. Fogle has disposed of her line farm and will have a sale in the near future. An invitation dance is being ligured on by some of the young men. Let it be we do not want to be "dead in" this social feature. Mr. llrugh expects

to set the midnight feast, which alone will guarantee an enjoyable time, not tn mention the other good things in sight. On January 3 1st Die LaPaz Library Club expect to surpass all pievious efforts. C'une early, as no seats will bo reserved. Uev. Linville, who has been carrying his nose in a sling during the past week, is again able to expose that organ to the winds. Word was received that Mrs. Myers, who is in Florida lor her health, is very much improved and enjoying the southern clime.

i This is the first winter that LaPaz has been slighted as to revival meetings. Are we too good, or are we beyond redemption? The Maccabees have again opened a cannonading. They held a rousing meeting Saturday and expect to continue it for all time to come. The items in the Diemen Knquirer were the same as in the lNii:n:Nir.T, only a week later. The Knquirer used to copy from the l'epuhlicuti. What has caused the change? Hank Miller seems to have the lion's share of sickness in his family.
