Miss Henderson.
She has been traveling ln Europe, givlnt,

fected her health. It la understood thxi '
while hor condition is not serious, she needs

Owing to the heavy rain last evening the
attendance at the opening session of tha
Christian Endeavor unlon'of the presbytery
of Council Bluffs at tha Second Preaby
terian churchswaa much mailer than an

feature of last evening's Session. Ry. W.
U. Gag of Guthrl Center delivered an
address on "Christian Unity, Our Hope
and Despair." E. O. Hoagland of Hastings
read a paper on "Carthage Must Be De

states she did ao because the girl had
always been so saucy and Impudent to her
and disobeyed her in every respect. In the
will Mrs. Cronen recites that aha owns
eighty acres of valuable farming land In
this county, besides considerable.' other
property. No mention Is made in tbe will
of her husband, who survived her. .
To further comullcat matters Mrs.
Cronen'a mother died shortly after the exe
cution of the alleged will, and prior to the
death of her daughter, Mrs. Cronen. Mrs.
Miller In her will left all of her property
to her children, to be divided share and
share alike.
Attorney Booth In his letter to the clerk
of the district court states that the will
was handed to him by A. A. Watts of the
Btate bank of Neola the day following that
tn which the bank was broken Into by rob
bers and the safe blown. The bank was
robbed about fifteen years ago. Attorney
Booth accounts for the sealed envelope
containing the will being opened by stating
that It waa evidently opened by the rob
bers, who, finding the contenta worthless,
threw the envelope back Into the safe.
That he had the will ln his possession, At
torney Booth writes, had slipped his mem
ory until a few daya ago.
If the court holds the will to be genuine
and It Is admitted to probate, the estate
of Mrs. Cronen will go to the heirs of Mrs.
Miller, who are the claimants now living
in California, and will deprive Mrs. Bnod
grass and the natural daughter of John
Cronen of their' shares of an estate valued
at over (20,000.

Walt Longr for Bride.
Th marriag of Mis Florence Carter of
Olatonbury, England, and J. W. Gallagher
of Bangor, Me., In thla city yesterday waa
the happy culmination of a romance which
had Ita beginning In King Edward's do
mains several years ago. Th bride, a
handsome young woman of the . typical
English type, and the groom met and loved
several years ago, but the fortune of the
young man at that time did not warrant
him getting married. Ha decided to seek
his fortune ln America, while the young
woman promised to remain true to him
until such time as he was able to send for
her to make her his bride. This was nearly
ten years ago, when Gallugher was but
24 years old and his sweetheart still in her
teens. Oallagher, after his arrival In
America, met several ups and downs, but
Dame Fortune finally smiled on htm and a
month ago he felt that his bank account
warranted him In sending for his sweet
heart. She had relatives In Omaha and
wrote her Intended husband that he could
meet her there, which he did Sunday.
Yesterday they took the car to thla city,
secured the necessary license and ware
made man and wife by Justice Ouren. Tb
groom Informed the officiating Justice that
he had acurd a good buslnes proposition
In Bt. Louis and that he and his bride
would make their home there.
He strangled her In sight of her mother,
who fled to a neighbor's house, where the
girl followed. Taylor ran to the house of
a negro, where he stayed several hours
and threatened to shoot anyone wh fol
lowed him. He had gun on hla peraon
and aald h wanted to aea the local con
stable and openly threatened to kill the
officer on sight.
This afternoon when the miners com
menced gathering at their homes from
work a mob tt several hundred formed
and excitement ran high. The mob started
In pursuit of Taylor, who fled to tha woods.
He went to the house of a family named
Scott, where his 13-year old daughter, Ruth,
waa working, got the little girl away from
the house on some pretext and assaulted
er. This child la ln a aerioua condition.
The constable, John Ruggenberg, had
come to Oskaloosa for help. In company
with two police officers ha returned and
gave chase after the fleeing man. Taylor
waa aurrounded near Olivet by a aquad of
Ix armed men and captured. Meantime a
mob of five hundred men and boya gath
ered and threatened to lynch him. The
prlaoner waa secreted In the edge of town
and turned over to the Oskaloosa officers,
who hurried him to the Mahaska county
Jail.
Excitement at Evana runa high, many
ahota were fired and lynching openly threat
ened. The officers got a good lead out of
camp.
It la thought the mob will not follow to
Oskaloosa.
Taylor waa recently let out of the Fort
Madison penitentiary, where he served a
year for assaulting an 11-year-old girl at
Eddyville In the winter of 1001. He la a
man past 40 yeara and haa been a notorious
character In police courta on numeroua
chargea since hi term expired. He gained

street, had an exciting experience with a
burglar at her home this morning. The
burglar, who was a colored man, had en
tered the house through a window and was
In the act of blowing out the night light
when Mrs. Samuels was awakened. The
man seized her by the throat and threat
ened to kill her If she made an outcry, but
she made so much noise that her son In
an adjoining room was awakened. The
young man went outside and yelled for
help and the negro made hla escape at
once. He dropped his hat and secured no
valuables. The woman was badly fright
ened, but not injured. She thinks she
would be able to Identify the assailant.

mon was one of the men, but both are
being held until he recovers sufficiently so

Klrby Fead Continues.
There la an interesting feud on between
doctors at Grand Junction and it haa
broken out ln court again. Last year a
case was taken through the courts to make
a test of certain phases of the quarantine
law as related to smallpox cases, and Dr.
Klrby, who violated a quarantine, was the
subject of the prosecution. The supreme
court found that technically Klrby was not
guilty, because there was a flaw ln the
proceedings and the papers had not been
properly signed to establish a quarantine,
Now Dr. Klrby has brought suit for dam
ages against W. B. Harker, mayor of
Grand Junction, claiming SS.000 damages,
because of tha quarantine ault in which ha
waa Involved.

Isaac Anderson, a colored man employed

road and living at Clivc, a Junction point
a few mllea from Dea Moines, Is a victim
of an organised effort to drive colored men

set It up in Cllve and had It repaired.

All negroes are warned to "git." They
are not wanted In Cllve, and any white
man employing them are liable to hav
"something happen" to them. Section fore
men employing negroes better "fire" them
at once, or there will be trouble.
This alarmed Anderson and he mad the

If you have a
dirty, shabby office
people think it is
your fault; it does not
occur to them that the
janitor is careless, neglect'
ful or has more to do than
can be done well
In reality, it is your own
fault, because you can
move to the Bee Building,
where the janitor will keep
your office as dean and
neat as a Dutch kitchen.
