The special musical service given In St.
Francis1 Calhollc church ycsterJay after
noon by the Schumann quartet drew an
audience that filled the church. The music
was very fine and w.is greatly enjoyed by
all present. The quartet was assisted by
the church choir. This was the second tlrao
that special effort was made to provide a
musical program and special services on
Sumlay afternoon. The first was so
thoroughly appreciated that the church people
ple were greatly encouraged In the belief
that further favors In the same line -would
bo appreciated , and the second concert was
the result. It Is probable that the demand
will hereafter be too strong to bo resisted.

The failure of a minister to make the
proper returns of a marriage license maj
necessitate an appeal to the courts to have
the error corrected , More than twenty-five
years ago Scott Wllllims , a well known citi
zen living In the eastern end of the county ,
and his wife were united In marriage by Rev ,
It , P. Fosa , n minister of the gospel. The wed
ding was a prominent social evcnl nnd at
tracted a good deal of attention at the time.
By some fitrangc oversight the minister 1105.
lectcd to make the proper returns to the
county clerk , and the marriage certlficalo
given by the minister at the 'time Is the only
written evidence that the- marriage look
placo. Mr. Williams Is making arrangcmento
to leave the county where ho has lived ever
since his early manhood , and while closing
up fcotno business aleut the county couit
house a few dajs ago discovered the Incom-
plelcd condition of the marriage register. The
register shows that the license was Issued ,
but there Is nothing to show that the cere
mony was performed. The law Imposes n
severe pinalt > upon the ofilclallng clergvman
or Judicial officer who performs a marriage
ceremony and falls to make the required ru-
lurnii of Iho license wllhln the spcclflea
time. It does not Invalidate the marriage ,
but there Is a chance of pcoaiblo contingencies
In the transmission ot property to the chll-
dien. Mr. Williams Is engaged now In mak
ing a hunt for Rev Mr Foss It Is not
known whether 1io Is living or dead , but the
fact can be ascertained by tracing him
through the church records. If he Is living
and can bo found he can complete the record
There would be tie danger of his Incuirlng
the penalty of the law for his failure , for
the offerao was committed so long ago that
It Is barred by the ctatute of limitation. If
he cannot be found the district court will be
naked to make an order directing itho clerk
to complete the record. A search ot the
marriage registers for a number of ycais
shows that thcie- are many Instances whore
licenses have been Issued , but whole tliero lb
no entry showing tint the ceremony was per-
founed. Meet of ithceo ate no doubt cases
where the parties changed their minds after
going to the trouble and expense of procuring
the license , but there Is no doubt that some
of them arc genuine cases of neglect like the
ono la question ,

The answer filed by Mrs. Nellie Maud
Edgerton to tbo petition of her husband fo-
divorce has led to some Inquiry Into the
story of the wedded Jlfo of Charles and Nel-
llo Edgerton. The couple came to Council
Bluffs two or1 three jears ago from Lincoln ,
Neb. Edgerton was n painter employed In
tbo painting department of ono of the car
slic-ps In that city. Edgerton had charge of
the department In which he worked and one
of hLs fellow emplojes was George W. Ui > -
shaw , whom he names as corespondent In
the divorce suit. Both are men ot over 3"
years of age. When the shcos were closei
bMli were thrown out of employment. Edgei-
ton brought hla wife , who was then only 2D
years old , to Council Bluffs , and falling to
obtain work hero left her with friends and
wcot to St. Louts In search of employment.
Ho secured a position Immediately after
reaching the city and wrote to his wife ac
quainting her of Ills good fortune and- telling
her ho would send some money at the end
of the first week , when ho drew his wages.
Ho lost his place at the end of the first day
on account of not being made a member of
the Painters' union , but was fortunate In
securing another Job within a few days. Ho
again wrote advising his wlfo of his situa
tion , but received no response. A tow dn > s
later ho received a letter from a friend In
forming Mm that I/pshaw had appeared on
the sccno and had married Mrs Edgerton
and both had left the city. Edgcrtcn re
turned to Council Bluffs and found the situa
tion to bo as reported , but made no efforts
to disturb the new fUmlly arrangements. Ho
procured employment and had been living
hero since.
After the divorce suit was Instituted At
torney John Liiidt , who has been the em
ployer of Edgerton for two vears , concluded
It would bo advisable to secure personal
notice of the suit by visiting Mrs. Edgerion
at her homo In Lincoln , nnd ho did BO. This
was the visit during which It was alleged In
the answer filed by Mrs Edgerton that
Limit had secured her signature to certain
papers , the contents of which she knew
nothing of , by threats and force. The only
paper presented was the original notice of
the suit , and the only signature asked was
attached to the paragraph acknowledging
the receipt of the notice. This was signed
In the presence of Upshaw and both of the
parties were well pleased to know that
Edgerton had decided to apply for a di
vorce. It Is surmlsoi by the answer that
the woman believes she was never legally
married to Edgerton , for she asserts that her
name was never Edgerton , but Elson , which
she acquired by marriage to a man In Ef-
flngham , 111. Under the Iowa statute a
common law marriage , when established ,
requires the Intciventlon of the dlvorco
court for annulment , nnd the offense of
bigamy Is committed when another marriage
folloua such a union , unless the way Is
cleared by use of proper legal means. Two
children were born to iMr. and Mrs. Edger
ton while- they were living together , and
the court will bo asked to give them to the
father.

DES MOINB3 , Jin , 9. ( Special. ) Experi
ments which have been conducted within the
list jear under the supervision of the Iowa
Agricultural college prove that sugar beet
culture Is practicable and would be commcr-
e-iitly profitable In Iowa. The experiment
station of the college has Just announced , In
a careful report , the results of experiment ! ]
In twenty counties , In ull rarts of tne state.
Every county sends rumples ot beets which
are not ot practical value for sugar making ,
but ovcry county also sends n much larger
number of samples ot beeta which could bo
used for sugar making , at a profit. Exam-
Iratlon Into the cc'idltlcns utvlcr which the
beets were ruUed develops ( bit In every capo
In which directions were followed In the
care , planting and harvesting of the beets tCie
product .itoal the toil an } showed a jlelil of
sugar nssur'ng the commercial success of
the beet. This his betu so uniformly the
rule that Prof. Chsrlcs r , Curtlss , chief of
the experiment station , concludes that In any
county In Iowa beets could bo nlaed at n
profit for sugar making. The experiments
were really begun In 1S91 , but were not In
any ono jear of sufficient extent to make safe
conclusion possible , till 1S97. Prof. Cur'.lM ,
under Instructions and advice of ( Jie natlcr.at
Department of Agrlcultuie , took Immediate
charge ot the work In 1897 and the results
nro eminently satisfactory ,

CEDAR FALLS , la. . Jan. 9. ( Special Tel
egram. ) Freil Champlaln , Jddnaper of little
Earl Colcman , has confessed to n Bcrlcs of
crimes which brand him as n. monster In
human form. The ndmlsslons were Hist mndc
to Rev. F. E. Lockvvood last night when
the Jill was aurroundcd by a howling mob
clamoring that Justice bo meted out to so
black a fiend , but whose members did not
then appreciate the awfulncas of his crimes.
When confronted by the father of the boy
today Champlaln broke down before scathing
accusations nnd confessed that although for
joirs ho had been a member of the church
and professor of religion , > ot nil the while
ho hnd been luring Innocent boya to lives
of Infamy nnd .shame. Tie know no senae
of virtue and stopped nt naught to accom
plish his ends
For some tlmo ho had been attempting
to bring Earl Coleman under lib Influence ,
but had been unsuccessful , though by threats
of death ho had frightened the child so
that ho dared not tell his parents ot his
temptations. In kidnaping Dail his plan
had been to take him to DCS Molnes or some
other city , where tie could keep him. To
carry thu schema Into execution Champlaln
had carefully planned each step and only
icturned Friday from Des Molncs , whcro It
Is believed ho had prepared a. placeto keep
the lad nafoly.
All is quiet hero tonight , but at the pro-
limlnaiy hearing sensational developments
are expected , and the outcome Is a matter

CRESTON , la. , Jan. 9. ( Special. ) Tbo
j criminal colendar for the coming term of
court Is ono of the smallest In the history
of the county. Only three- mew cases appear
and thrco were carried over from last term ,
making six In all. Ot the thrco new cases
two are for conducting gambling houses con
trary to law and the other for Illegal voting.
Ono hundred and elghty-flvo civil cases liavo
been docketed and about forty probate
Eight unhappy couples will seek roller from
the courts. One of the most Important cases
to come up is the damage suit of John Hall
against J. E. Market of Omaha and J. H.
Duggan. H. S. Clarke , sr. , and II. S. Clarke ,
Jr , of Crcston. The defendants arc all prom
inent and wealthy. Hall's petition accubcs
them of conspiracy whereby they have been
able , through such an alleged combination ,
to wreak havoa with his business ventures
to such an extent as to make them unprofit
able. Hall wants $25,000 damages. Another
Interesting damage case Is that of Welby
Polcn and Mclvln Polen against Daniel
Kllngensmlth , a wealthy Platte towxishlp
farmer Last fall he had the plaintiff * } arrested
for assault with Intent to rob. The caaca
came up In thu Justice court end there ap-
I pcared to bo an Insufficiency of evidence , GO
' the county attorney ordered the prisoners
dismissed A few days ago Welby Polen filed
his petition for damages In the sum of ? 5,000
for false arrest nnd Injury to chatacter ,
credit and standing. A short time afterward
his cousin Mclvln filed a duplicate suit and
now Mr. Kllngensmlth will bo icalle-d upon
to defend himself from suits aggregating
$10,000.
Attorney Jaraea Locke has started a $ " 1,000
damage suit against the city of Crcston. He
had his petition filed but later withdrew the
CBBO without prejudice. The city had em
ployed additional legal talent to defend the
case , and notwithstanding the fact that Locke
dismissed the case the city was put to the
expense of $150 for attoiney fee and stenog
