STRANGE BAB! ON HIS HANDS
Albert Dingmao, Baker, Undi. Iliiplnf
Infait it Hallway.
DAUGHTER CUIUS "WHAT'LL MAMMA SAY?"
Jlenil of the lnuno n in lies tn Police
' fnr llrllrf from flonmlnlnnn Per
plexity llcterllve Weir Solid
Ihe Myaterj,
Albert Dlngman, a baker of 2S North
Main street, rushed Into tho police station
yesterday afternoon In n great stato of ex
citement. Homebody had left a strange
baby at his bouse and as ho was fn no way
responsible for tho youngster ho wanted
the police to loso no tlmo In finding its
mother or tbo person who bad left It at
his home,
"Good heavens," he said, "what will my
wlfn think when sho comca home? The
oaby doesn't belong to me, I am not re
sponsible for It and I am sure I don't know
why anyone should want to scandalize me
so."
When Dlngraan became somewhat col
lected he told the police that on returning
from work yesterday afternoon he found
the Infant In a baby carriage In tho hall
way of his house. As (here was no one at
homo ho took It Indoors. Ills daughter ar
rived home ft few minutes later from visit
lng a nearby neighbor, She professed to
know nothing about the little one or bow
it came to ho where her father had found
It. To make matters, worse she hinted to
her father that her mother would think It
strange that a baby had been left at their
house.
This settled the matter with Dingman
and without waiting to put on his hat he
rushed' off to the police station. When he
lold his story there Dctcetlvo Weir was
detailed on the caso with Instructions to
locate the owner ot the Infant "as soon as
possible.
As a Etsrtlng clue the detective decided
to get a description of the baby and with
that purpose In view went direct to tho
Dlngman domicile. Hero he met the daugh
ter and she, soclng tho joke had been car
ried far enough, Informed him that tho
baby belonged to a married friend of hers
who had left the city on a short visit and
during her absence sho had promised to
take care of the little one. She said her
father appeared so excited nbout finding
the child that sho kept up the Joko just for
fun.
Deteetlvo Weir was not at all pleased at
bolng sent on a wild goose chaso and he
almost frightened the young woman Into
hysteria by threatening to arrest her.
WANTS HALF HIS MONEY
Mrs. Kanlgand'a Itlchtcr Mnen John
rattrraon for Five Thnnasnd Ool
Inra for Ilreack of Promise.
Mrs. Kunlguda Rtchter brought suit in
the district court yesterday to recover from
John Patterson the' sum ot $5,000 as salve
for' her feelings and affections, which sho
claims have been severely wounded by Pat
terson falling to carry out his promise to
marry her and wedding another woman lu
stcad. Mrs. Rlcbter nets forth In her petition that
Ta Hereon began paying her attention and
kocping company with her In June, 1300.
taking her boat riding and to the parks,
also frequently vUltlng her at her homo.
As a result, sho says, Patterson asked
her to bscomo his wife and on her con
senting promised to .marry her during the
AK-Sar-Ilcn carnival In the fall of that
year. As a proof of his Intentions at that
time Mrs. Rlchter relates that while Pat
ttrson was paying her attention ho nccora
ponled her to a dentist In Omaha and made
arrangements for dental work for the plain
tiff and there Informed' tho dentist that the
plaintiff was his Intended wife and directed
the dentist that the work bo done at his
expense.
On another occasion, Mrs. Rlchter alleges,
Tattcrson went to the home of her daughter
and there In the presence of herself In
formed the daughter and husband of the
fact ot tbo coming marriage between him
self and plaintiff.
Thoro was, however, a slip, 'twlx the cun
and Up and the wedding bells when they
rang were for another Mrs. Patterson, as
according to Mrs. Rlrnter's complaint.
Patterson about the time he had agreed to
marry her became the husband of another
woman.
Mrs. Rlchter avers that Patterson worth
at least $10,000 and asks the court to give
her judgment for half of thU as compensa
tion' for her wounded and blighted affep
tlens. THIS IS REGISTRATION DAY

GARNISHMENT OF WAGES
Constltntlonnllty of I.mw Is to fie
Tented In HIkIipsI Conrts ,VrN;
of lotvn.
Justice Ilryant yesterday sustained the
motion of the plaintiff to strike out the
inswcr of the defendant, J, Costcllo of
Orand Island, Neb., In ono of the Union
I'aclflo garnishment cases attacking the
constitutionality of tho law and an appeal
was at once taken to the district court and
from there tho railway company will, It
necessary, take it to the United States su
premo court.
This caso Is one of tho four In which
Nebraska creditors assigned their claims
In ortior to evade the Nebraska law and
take advantage of the garnishment law ot
this state. Tho defendants, being tion-rcs-Idcnts
of Iowa, are unablo to claim exemp
tion as heads of families and their wages
wcro accordingly attached by garnlaheclog
the Union Pacific. The railroad determined
to put an end to this practice It posstblo
and directed Its local attorneys to defend
the case.
The answer filed set out that the claims
wcro obtained by Fulton, the person bring
ing suit, in tho state of Nebraska for th
express purposo of bringing them to Iowa
to bilng suit upon them In direct violation
ot the Nebraska statute and raises tho
question of constitutional right, claiming
that tho practice complained of operates
to deprive the men thus sued of tho equal
protection of tho law nnd to deprive them
of their property without due process of
law and further to abridge their privileges
and Immunities.
In the caso of M. Htirke of Grand Island
Justice Ilryant released the garnishment,
as Hurko showed that the claim sued on
had been paid. As to the counterclaim the
court reserved Its decision. The two othor
cases of B. M. Arnold and J. A. Taylor were
taken under advisement.

DKS MOINES, Oct. 23. (Special. )-CJIlbcrt
S. Ullhcrtson, treasurer of state, surprised
'everyone by making a recommendation In
his biennial financial report on tho condi
tion of the state treasury placed on file
today In favor of the stato taking Interest
on the deposits of money In banks belonging
to the state. Ah tho law now la tho stato
treasurer Is made responsible for tho funds
and they, aro placed whero ho designates.
For some tlmo an agitation has been going
on for a change In tho law so as to havo
tho stato designate tho depository banks,
assume responsibility for tho safe keeping
of tho money and receive tho Interest paid
by the depository banks. Mr. Ollbcrtson
endorses this plan. It Is tho first time any
state treasurer has ever endorsed such a
plan. Mr. Ollbcrtson, In his report to tbe
governor, states that during tho last bi
ennial period the monthly average balances
In banks have amounted to about $700,000,
nnd he has no doubt the balances will con
tinue as largo In the future. The profits to
tho stato derived from thin sourco would
bo no small amount. It Is expected that
with this endorsement of the state treasurer
the leglslaturo will change tbo law and give
tho slate the benefit of Its vast funds lying
Idle In tbo hanks,
Itevenne of the Stnte.
Tho stato treasurer reports that the gen
eral revenues of tho state continue In sat
isfactory condition and the financial con
dition of the state has steadily Improved.
No interest bearing indebtedness has ex
isted at any tlmo In tho biennial period and
tho floating Indebtedness has been reduced.
The revenue has been Increased and yet
that derived from direct taxation has been
reduced. The revenue receipts from differ
ent sources during tho two blonnlat periods
ended June 30. 1899,. and tho biennial period
ended June 30, 1901, were. as follows:
1st Period. 2d Period.

Notwithstanding the largo decrease In re

neous sources there. Is a net Incrcaso shown
of $40,636.25. The Increase, In collections
under tho collateral inheritance tax aro
most noticeable. Tho receipts dtrrlng the
last biennial period exceeded tbo disburse
ments by $698,885.80 and the balance at tho
close of tho period, June 30 last, was $1,
143.888.17. Cnllaternl Inheritance Tax.
The receipts frpui tho Inheritance tax
for the period closed exceeded tfca roceipts
for the previous period by $143,665.02 and
the rovenuo fromt1rW Anrce H now fourth
In Importance wjben compared with the
others given lntMv3 table 'Two years ago
it was the sixth.). The law has been
amended and, further enactments made so
that the collection of this tax Is now ren
dered more effective. However, tho law
needs complete revision and simplification,
so that It will be easier to make the collec
tions. The treasurer recommends that It
shall be made tho duty of the county clerk
to notify the state treasurer of tbe liability
on this tax and that ho bo paid a fee for so
doing.
Political llully In De Moines.
The big political rally of the year took
place hero tonight, a public meeting being
addressed by Senator Fairbanks of Indiana
and Speaker Henderson and Congressman
Laccy of Iowa. Henderson and Lrficey spoke
In the afternoon at Colfax and a party of
local republicans went to Colfax by special
train to accompany them to Des Moines.
Senator Fairbanks came from Nevada,
whero ho had spoken at a Story county
rally tho night before. Tho Auditorium
wan filled with Interested listeners to tho
three strong speakers and the stago was
covered with a largo number of vice presi
dents and prominent leaders ot tho party.
It was tbo first political meeting ot tho
year, all three speakers were in fine form
and entertaining and tho meeting was re
garded, as In every way satisfactory. Na
tional Issues wero discussed entirely by tho
speakers, but a fine tribute was paid to the
republican management of Iowa In tho past
and to tho republican candidates for stato
office on the ticket this year. Fairbanks
has but ono other date In Iowa at this tlmo
and that at Burlington tomorrow evening.
Next week, in addition to tno many speak
ers who havo been on the stump In Iowa
thus far, George B. Roberts, director of
the mint, and M., 1), O'Connell, solicitor of
tho treasury, will be on tho stump in tho
stato. Senator Knute' Nelson makes three
speeches in northern Iowa this week and
speaks tomorrow at .a big meeting at Do
corah. Dead Convict Wins Ills Case.
Tbe Iowa supremo court today decided a
caso In favor of the plaintiff who was a'
Ufo convict in the penitentiary, but has
died within a few weeks. It was tho caso
of Andrew Thompson of Fuyetto county,
against the banking firm of Nllea & Wat-
ters at Anamosa. Tbey had had a deposit
of $309 from Thompson, which tbey paid
to W. C. Ollbralth, clerk at the peniten
tiary, who novef nccounted for the money.
Thompson had not authorized Ollbralth to
draw the money and did not sign tho cer
tificate of deposit. Tho supreme court
holds that tho clerk had no right to draw
out the money and tho bank no right to
pay It to anybody but the prisoner and that
the fact Ot hla bolng a convict did not dis
qualify him from transacting private busi
ness. The bank will, therefore, have to
pay the money again. Thompson was 76
years old and had been In the penitentiary
for moro than thirty years for the murder
of two women and placing their bodies
under the Ice In the Mississippi river.

today by the supreme court:

Dyspepsia Cure
The process of digcsiinii Is simply cxplalnrd. u tho mouth,
food 19 masticated nnd mixed with saliva containing a dlgcstant
called ptyalin.' In tho stomach, It Is acted upon by pastrlo Juice
containing' pepsin, which digests albuminous foods. In tho
Intestines, pancrcatln Is added to digest fats and starches.
Indigestion always ludicatcd an instiftlcicnt amount of one or
all of theso dlgcstatits. At first thought 1 1 seems proper to abstain
from foods not easily digested; but reflection Hhows us that,
while this affords relief by giving the weakened organs less to
do, it only makes them weaker by giving them less nourishment.
If you suffer from Indigestion, tho only right thing to do is to
cat a genorous variety of food and digest It by using such a
preparation as,Koi)OL DvsvnrsiA (Juuk, which contains all tho
known digestants, ruid completely digests what you cat.
