Her mother was dal, m.A she ! looked after the housbo!d uu'i'is of the tavern. She was 16 Year old, and Ed a aid Shott, a bark contractor, young ar.d well-to-do, was in love with h-r n:-.d wanted to marry her. Betty wanted to marry young Shott, but her fath er had other plans, and she was com pelled to obev. He cIiobc for l.tr husband a man three times her age. who owned a large pine tract iu the neighborhood, a valuable piece of property that Landlord Benton was auxious to possess. He compelled his 16-Year-old daughter to many this man, Aulds by name. He Jived only six months, and left the young widow the pine laud, which her uthcr sold, appropriating the pro ceeds to hia own use. Young Shott, in the meantime had closed his contracts and gone away. One year after the death of her hus band Mrs. Aulds married, to spite her father, John Grover, a sawyer. He was killed a mouth later in his employers mills., me lanuiuru s ughter was now twice a widow, although she was not yet IS years of age. Two mouths after her second hus band's death Edward Shott returned o Einmersou'g mills, and on her 8th birthday, young widow Grover who had grown defiant of her father, married her old-time lore. The cou ple lived happily for a year, and one child was born. The child was not 2 weeks old when the father was crushed to death by a falling tree in the woods. Widowed now for the third time, the landlord's daughter mourned her third husband siucerely for two years. About this time her atberdied At the age of 21 the young widow made what was regarded as a most brtunate marriage, her fourth hus band being Elmer James, a young Warren county lawyer. James turn out to be a drunkard. He abused hia wife aid her child so shamefully that she had no difficulty in . obtain ing a divorse four months after she became Mrs. James. She remained single then until she was 23, when she married George Rhone, a widow er of 50. He was a prominent man in the locality. Before they were married a year Rhone died with the small pox. His young wife nursed him all through the course of the dreadful disease, escaping without taking it herself. Rhone left his widow $ 10.000 in cash. Not long after her last husband's death she took her child and went to Ohio, where she had relatives living. That was one yoar ago. Last Tuesday she wrote to a mend m this city that she was to be married the next day in Covington, Ky., to a young man named Charlie Green, a blue THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE AND IMPLEMENT HOUSE grass farmer. The men employed in German, fac tories iu which smokeless ponder is manufactured have been provided with rubber masks to piotect them from the fumes thrown olT by the chemicals entering into the compo sition of the powder. Heretofore the niea have suffered greatly from this cause. A Fortunate Woman. About Cheapness. It was a republican, and a promi nent and representative republican, Hon. Wm. McKinley, of Ohio, who, in the late canvass, said: "Cheap and nasty go together, and this whole system of cheap things is a badge of poverty.f or cheap merchandise means cheap men, and cheap men mean a cheap country" and he will live, if he has not already lived to wish he had never said it. The words express Mr. McKinley's doctrine, and the doctrine of his party for the repub lican party is the party of rich men of millionaires, with whom cheap ness is no consideration, since their ample incomes enable them to secure all they want, no matter what the price. But, as ex president Cleve land said at the Thurman banquet: "Our government, in its natural in tegrity, is exactly suited to a frugal and economical people, and I believe it is safest in the hands of those who have been made strong and self reliant iu their citizenship by the surroundings of an enforced economy.'' The necessaries of life which the manses of a people are forced to buy and pay for with the fruits of their labor, can never be too cheap the caeaper the better; and it is a very important consideration to every one of tho 3,000,000 farmers cf the west, whether he pays $5 or $7.50 for a lot oi inese necessaries, xne repub licans in the present congress, with Mr. McKinley at their head, under took to say that cheap things are not good things are not good for the people the 'dearer the better, and although a certain lot of necessaries was worth only $5, it would be a fine thing for the manufacturers who make them to compel the people to pay 50 per cent, extra; and so they passed the McKinley tariff bill, un der which a western farmer is made to pay $7.50 for $5 worth of goods. This is the invariable working of a protective tariff, It is a scheme devised to make things artificially dear that they are naturally cheap This is effected by imposing an im port duty on them of 20 or 50 or 80 per cent., which makes them that much higher. It compels the pur chaser to pay ti.zu, or f l.ou, or $1.80, as the case may be, for $1 worth of goods. It is a very fine thiiiff for the northeastern uianufac- tarer who makes the goods no doubt about that; but it is pretty hard on the people who buy and consume them. Mr. McKinley and Speaker Reed may sneer at cheapness as much as they will, but the desire to get the necessaries of life at the low est price is universal with the Amer ican people and woe to the man or the party who tttempts to thwart them in this their honest and reason able desire.

Since so many reasons are being as signed for the political revolution in this country, the following from T. Y. Powderly's Denver speech, may be taken as fully as satisfactory as any yet given. "I come," said Mr. Powderly, "from Pennsylvania, where labor is protected. I hope my republican friends will not get mad at what I am goiug to say, but I don't care if they do. One day near Wilkesbarie I stopped at the house of a miner. I invited myseif to supper, accepted the invitation luvsplf and staved. What do you suppose that fathtr, with a wife and nine children, had for supper? Cornmeal mush and wa ter. And that man was u rerullicau. I am here to maintain that icon should legislate for industry and not for monopoly. If they legislate fcr mush and milk, don't let them kill the cow.
