There was a’disappointed crowd of

boat wharf this morning, who despite
the rain had assembled for the purpose
of going on the annual excursion of the

-Methodist church, and for which the

big steamer “Sam Sloan” had been en-
gaged. The steamer reached the wharf
on time and several of the would-be
excursionist boarded her before she was
moored to the wharf. Others stood
about with umbrellas over their heads,
until it was officially announced that
the excursion had been postponed until
Friday, and they returned through the
rain to their severai homes. '

COURTED AND WED IN 40 MINUTES.

The Widow Desired aCompaniou and
Proposed Getting One \Vithout Delay.
Forty minutes is not a long~ time

for courtship and marriage, but when a

woman of sixty-five concludes that she

wants to wed, and when she has plenty
of property to bestow on her husband,
arrangements can be quickly made.

It took less than three-quarters of an

hour for Mrs. Mary A. Shaw and Wil—

liam Downard to become acquainted,
to decide that it would be well for them
to marry and to have the knot tied.

Mary was a. widow and the owner of
a fine farm near Shelbyville, Ind.

For two or three seasons ’after her
husband died she became indifferent
regarding her broad acres, and allowed
her farm to run down, as well as her
bank account. Finally about the year
1880 she determined to buckle on the
armor and look properly after her in-
terests. She was alone in the world.
without even a child, but she employed
proper help and went to work with re-
newed vigor. The result was that she
was soon the rival of her neighbors.
Her cribs were groaning was the
weight of grain, and her bank account
was large.

This accomplished she began to sigh
for some one to take the place of her
late companion. She informed the
neighbors of her intentions, and they
prevailed upon her to dispel the
thought For a while she heeded their
advice, but she again arrived at the
conclusion that she needed a husband
who would look after her interests.
There was no one in the vicinity of
Blue Ridge whom she thought kindly
of, and so, one morning, after attending
to her household duties, she hitched
up her Span of blacks and alone drove
to Shelbyville. She went, directly to
the cflice of her attorneys and informed
them that she had tired of 'single bles-
sadness, and that before returning
home she wanted to become a married
woman. I

The attorneys were dumbfounded,
but knew that the woman meant—just

wh..t she said. . A hasty consultation

was held, and it was decided to send‘
the ofiice boy for William Downard,
a poor but honest Kentuckian, who was
at the time engaged in doing some gar-
dening for one of the lawyers.

Downa1d, when he entered the law
office, presented anything but a hand-
some appearance, but he was presented
to the widow with proper apologies
and informed that he would make her
an ideal husband. The woman asked
for a private interview with Dowuard,
which was granted, and in twenty min-
utes they returned and asked that a
magistrate be sent for. This was
done, and in exactly forty minutes
from the time the widow arrived J us-
tice H. D. Andrews had made the pair
man and Wife.

The new husband was then taken
out in town, given a bath, a shave, two
suits of clothes, a gold watch and the
following day a deed to 160 acres of fine
land—New York World.

A'NEW BUG OF BAD HABITS.

Seeks the Lips of the Sleeper at Night and
Best-ows Its Poisonous Bite.

A new bug of ferocious habits and
mysterious origin has made its appear-
ance in St. Louis.

It comes in the night, and bites its
victims generally'in the region of the
mouth. No man, woman or child has
yet been able to secure a specimen of
this common disturber of the peace.

The victim suffers from abnormal
swelling of the lips, face and arms. In
every instance the symptoms have
been practically the same. The lips
are puffed, the jaws are corresponding-
ly enlarged and the patient complains
of sharp, shooting pains, extending
from the region of the eyes up over
the forehead and head. The eyes are
generally bloodshot, the mouth is
parched and dry and every indication
of a serious poisoning is present. In
a few instances the arms and limbs
have swolen in places.

What puzzles the medical men most
is the ease with which the evil is
cured. An application of warm cloths
and a. single mtez no.1 treatment reduce
the swelling in a few hours—New York

5S Pills 

The difference between these pills and all other medicines is
.told in the following statement of facts:

Ist. They have been in active demand in the marketsof the world-since 1770.

or for nearly one hundred and thirty years.
2d. They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest
class drugs, obtainable. w

3d. They are kept for two years in our storehouses after being made, and
no pills are sold until they are TWO YEARS old. This allows them to
become thoroughly mellowed and makes of them the very best

, and safest cathartic medicine that it is possible to procure.

4th. They never become inured to the system; that is, the same dose
will always produce the same eflect. This cannot truthfully be said
of any other medicine. There are. others who claim it, but
demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH'S PILLS.
5th. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very
acid condition, and then only if the dose' 15 a large one. In doses of

' one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience.

6th. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately.

7th. BRANDRETH'S PILLS are composed one-third of the best extract'of satsa—
parilla that can be made. It IS highly concentrated and it makes of these
pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con-
taining more of the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparilla
than a dollar’s worth of any liquid preparation in the market.

8th. One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism in almost every

instance.

9th. They are a pOSItive and effective remedy for constipation and for all the

long list of ills that follow in its wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness,

' drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath, headache pain in the stemach,

etc. Take one or two pills every night—one is usually enough-and
be certain that a cure will follow.

They are the best complexion pills. After you have taken them for a

few nights, your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful color, your
eye a brilliant lustre, and sallowness and pimples will disappear.

. BRANDRETH’S PILLS NEVER injure— 'on are always in better health
after takmg a dose—they are the safest medicine to give children and
women in delicate health. One pill is usually sufficient.

. No medicine is made with such infinite care as BRANDRETH’S PILLS
——no medicine but BRANDRETH’S PILLS is kept for Two YEARS before
they are boxed to be Sold.

. Except in sudden and acute sickness, when the dose should be from
four to.. eight pills. the best results are obtained by taking one or two
pills every night for a week or two. They act on the liver and leave
that organ in a perfectly healthy state, and when your liver is right
your blood is pure, and you are well. Don’ t bully your liver with-
powerful medicine, but coax it with BRANDRETH’S PILLS.

BRANDRETH’S PILLS are sold throughout the world. with and without

They never fail to do their work.

‘EI‘NA. LIFE AND CONNECTICUT MUTUAL."

IIE FUTURE of a life insurance company can, and prop-
erly should, be judged by its success in the past.

No life insurance institution can be continuously suc-
cessful unless the management makes the earning quality, as
well as the safety of the Investments, the first consideration
when selecting securities.

THE IETNA LIFE’S

Success in these particulars has been unparalleled. Not:
only have the investments been of the best character, but
their interest earning qualities have been a great factor in
producing the well- known success of the company.

11s evidence of the good judgment exercised in purchas-
ing securities, and of the great care shown in selecting lives
upon which to grant insurance, the following exhibit gives
the results obtained by the responsible Stock Management of
the JETNA LIFE since 1850 in comparison with the results4
reached by the Proxy-lllanagement of the Connecticut Mu-
tual since 1846.
