WOES COME WITH MARRIAGE
Attorney Brown BaciUi the Difficulties Et

GETS HIM INTO ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE
According to tory Told la Petttlea

Hera Lawyer."
Too much mother-in-law Is the keynote
of J. W. Brown's petltloa for dlvorc from
MatUe C. Brown, Bled In the district court
yeaterday. The plaintiff 1 an attorney of
Charlea Cfty, la., but stated in his petition
that owing to his domesUe troubles he
has forever left that town and Is bow
seeking a new location. He fears that his
wife will not only follow him to his new
location, but will bring her mother also,
and this Is one of the many grounds on
which Attorney Brown asks the court to
lever the matrimonial bonds.
Attorney Brown wai married in Ohio in
September, 1893, where he lived until the
spring of 1902, when he moved to Charles
City. His wife's parents, who had their
home with him since his marriage, alao
moved, continuing their residence with
him and partaking of his bread, for which,
he alleges, they paid absolutely nothing.
Beginning the recital of his domestto
troubles Attorney Brown alleges tbat his
wife's parents are possessed of uncontrol
lable tempers, which tbey continually
vented on blm so aa to make life almost
unbearable. His mother-in-law, he al
leges, was particularly abusive toward him
and took especial delight In ridiculing his
business and calling him a "one-horse law
yer." Further he alleges that his wife and her
mother poisoned the chickens of a neigh
bor and this led to a long and bitter quar
rel and tbe loss of the neighbor as a former
profitable client. On another occasion his
mother-in-law caused trouble by circulat
ing stories about a young woman stenog
rapher la his office and he was forced to
discharge the young woman, and It was
only by mere chance that he missed a slan
der suit In connection with the affair. Then
he employed a young man, a relative, In
his office, and alleges that hi mother-in-law
circulated false stories about htm and
wrote to the young man's people, and he
had considerable trouble in preventing her
from being arrested by the federal author
ities for unlawful use of the) mallst
Attorney Brown says that the treatment
he received from his wife and her mother
caused htm to lay awake at night in eon
stent fear and trembling of what next might
happen. He at one time threatened to or
der his mother-in-law out of the house, hut
his wife said she would go also, and he de
sisted. Matters, however, reached such a
distressing stag and his health became so
Impaired that Attorney Brown states that
he at last decided that unless he wished
to fill a premature grave he had better se
cure a divorce and a new location for the
practice of his profession.

' Doctor Waat Oat of Jail."
Judge Wheeler In district court this
afternoon will hear the application of Dr.
W. F. Pierce of Carson, thla county, for a
writ of habeas corpus directed against S. T.
Perry, a constable of Oakland. On August
1 E. Doollttle, a resident of Carson, filed
an Information before Justice Butler of
Oakland charging Dr. Pierce with violating
the rules of the State Board of Health and
of the Local Board of Health of Carson
by not reporting a ease of scarlet fever last
June. The case waa tried before a jury
which found Dr. Pierce guilty and. Justice
Butler fined the physician $18 and . coats
or seven days In the county jail at Avoca.
Dr. Pierce questioned tho Jurisdiction of
the court on tbe grounds that the offense
alleged waa an Indictable on and that the
justice only had the right to hold a pre
liminary hearing and not decide the guilt
or Innocence of the person accused. Dr.
Pierce refused to pay the fine and has
nominally been In custody of Constable
Perry but hag not been placed In the county
jail. Dr. Pierce Is one of the best known
physicians in this section of the state.

County Attorney Klllpack, on hla return
to the city yesterday, was advised of the
action of the Portland Gold "Mining oom
pany of Colorado In authorising the hoard
of directors to dissolve the Iowa incorpora
tion and reincorporate In some other state
to avoid the attempt to assess It for taxa
tion here. He aald:
"I believe tbat tbs county board will take
sups to enforce the collection of the tax,
but whether It can be done or not la a ques
tion. In the event of the assessment be
ing held legal and valid. It Is a question
how the tax can be collected. The com
pany has no visible property In Pottawat
tamie county that can be levied upon. It
might be that a Judgment might be ob
tained In the court and tbe Judgment
tranacripted to Colorado and execution had
there, but at this time I cannot atate what
course will be pursued. I have no doubt,
however, but the county will make a test
case of It. as $290,000 In taxes Is certainly
worth going after even if the county falls
to land It."

DEBATE HIGHJCHOOL COURSE
Proposal te Adopt Two-Year Rasl-
eee Cearee le fader Coai
alieratloa. At tbe meeting of the Board of Educa
tion last night the advisability of re-establishing
a two-year business course in the
high school was discussed. The matter
was brought up by Director Gorman, who
urged that such a course be again adopted.
The two-year business course, It was ex
plained. Is not Intended in any way to in
terfere with the present four-year course,
but to afford pupils who cannot afford to
spend four years in tbe high school to
obtain the advantages of a specific business
course In two years. Under the present
system the course is arranged for tbe full
term of four years and a pupil leaving bo
fore the expiraton of the four years has
consequently not obtained the benefits of
the entire course and on leaving Is given a
certificate showing what studies he has
taken. A pupil completing tbe two-year
course will be given a certificate, but not
a diploma, as he would receive on gradu
ating after a four-year course. Some of
the directors favored the adoption of the
two-year course on the grounds that it
would enable a pupil to start out In com
mercial life at an earlier age than if com
pelled to remain the four years and tbat
more pupils from the eighth grsde would
enter the high school If able to take a two
year course. The committee on course of
study and Superintendent Clifford were di
rected to arrange for a two-year business
course of study and report at the next
meeting. The two-year business course
was In vogue during the superlntendency
of Prof. Sawyer.
President Sargent, while stating that he
did not ask for at,y action in the matter at
this time, suggested that the board con
sider the question of compulaory drill for
the boy pupils of the high school and that
tbey all be required to wear a high school
uniform, as was the regulation in other
high schools. Director Gorman made sev
eral suggestions for Improving the discip
line at the high school, but no action was
taken. It was understood that Mr. Gorman
intended introducing a resolution requir
ing all girls attending the high school to
wear mortar boards, but the matter was
not brought up.
The committee on buildings and grounds
was instructed to confer with Chief Tem
pleton of the fire department relative to
fire escapes on the school buildings as re
quired by the new law. Chairman Cooper
of this committee reported tbat from a talk
he had had with the chief the board would
be required to place escapes on the new
high school building, as Chief Templeton
considered that It came within the provi
sion of the not.
Bom discussion was had over the new
comnutaorv education art, bjt !t T?SS fis
elded not to take any action until after
the opening of the new school year and
the taking of the school census, which
must be taken before September 15. Pres
ident Sargent stated that he had learned
from the state superintendent that the ap
pointing of a truant officer was optional
with the board and not obligatory, but that
the board was compelled to take all neces
sary etepe to enforce the law.
The contract for supplying the several
schools with coal for the ensuing year was
awarded to the Carbon Coal company on its
bid of $$,011.60 for Centervllle lump. The
company was granted the privilege to weigh
the coal en any authorized scales. Chair
man Oorman of the committee on fuel and
lighting Insisted tbat the company be re
quired to weigh all coal on the city scales
at Bryant street.
The matter of the plumbing of the Pierce
street school addition was laid over, aa
Chairman Cooper of the committee on
buildings and grounds reported that In his
opinion the addition would not be built
before January 1, as Contractor Wlckham
was unable to secure brick. It was de
cided to heat the addition with stoves this
winter If ready for occupancy in time.
The contract for supplying 150 desks and
seats waa awarded to the R. O. Evans com
pany of Chicago. The bids by request were
not made public but Director Hess stated
that that of the Evans company was the
lowest.
Miss Porterneld's salary as Instructor of
music was Increased from $75 to $85, It be
ing understood that she had received an
offer of $95 to go to Dubuque.
Miss Agnes Robinson of the Washington
avenue school was granted aa Indefinite
leave of absence and the resignation of
Miss Rose Drake was accepted. Miss Alice
Spetman and Miss May Jepson were ap
pointed teachers at $35 a month. It was
decided that when Mlaa Churchill should be
transferred to the Pierce street school on
the Abandoning of the Hill school, of
which she is principal, her salary should be
placed back from $75 to $60.
Oeorge W. Jacobs resigned as Janitor of
ths Thirty-second street school and Wil
liam Mack was appointed in his place.
The president was authorised to en
gage couneel to defend the achool district
In the suit brought by E. A. Wlckham
for grading the old Oakland avenue high
school site, also in the personal damage
suit of Mrs. Rice against the city of Coun
cil Bluffs In which tbe city has moved to
make the district a party defendant.
The superintendent was instructed to
furnish all books and supplies for the
kindergartens, the same as was done for tbe
graded schools under the free text book
system.

DES MOINES, Aug. 19. (Bpeclal.) Al
bert MeKlnney waa arrested this morning
and waived examination before a Justice of
the peace on a charge of attempt to commit
murder in the shooting of Rev. F. Lomack
about midnight last night. MeKlnney had
fled and was trying to get out of town,
but was arrested and now admits that he
did the shooting. He lay in wait for Rev.
Lomack and fired from ambush, the bullet
lodging In the preacher's lungs. Lomack
returned tbe fire and a street duel followed.
Lomack afterward fainted and is at a
hospital In a critical condition. The trouble
arose over a woman. Lomack was with a
Mrs. Tyler, colored, who works In a res
taurant owned by Rev. Lomack and run
by him as a aide line. Her husband was
killed in a mine a few years sgo and Lomack
was to marry her in about two weeks. Mc
Kinney had been rooming at Mra. Tyler's
and made love to her. When he insisted
she should marry him she ordered him out
and he threatened vengeance. The duel
followed and It was intended by MeKlnney
that he should shoot the woman and not
the preacher. Lomack is pastor of the
Baptist church and secured a divorce from
his wife a few years ago. MeKlnney had
also commenced divorce proceedings
gainst his wife. .

Walker, colored, accused of committing the
Flnkelsteln murder, has been put off until

ing B. W. Liggett, will be held next week
Liggett is recovering and it is expected the
prosecution will be dropped.
lows Crop Conditions.
Weekly bulletin of the Iowa section of
tbe climate and crop service of the Weather
bureau for the week ending August 18,
1901:
The week ending the morning of the 18th
Was from three to five degrees colder than
normal, and there waa a very heavy ex
cess of rainfall la the larger part of the
state. Some of the larger amounts re
ported are as follows: Iowa City, 6.87
Inches; Cedar Rapids, 8.13; Iowa Falls, B.;
ues Moines, 4.68; Ogden. 4.84; Marshall
town. 8.66; Centervllle, 4.18; Sibley. 1.18:
8torm Lake, 1.01. Numerous streams are
again flooding the lowlands. Threshing
ana neia work have been retarded. Grain
In shock has been very badly damaged, and
many reports are received of serious In
Jury to stacka. A large percentage of oats
in shock will be practically ruined.
The corn crop ia bulky, heavily eared
and very green. -Reports indicate that
with seasonable weather the moat advanced
corn will be practically safe from harm
by ordinary early frost, about the middle
of September, and some of It will be rip
enough to cut and bind from the 6th to
10th. A considerable portion of the late
planted seed will need good ripening condi
tions throughout September, and will be
bettered by frostleas nights a week or
more in-October. With favorable weather
there will be a great output of corn. A
large crop of aftermath is about ready to
cut. The apple crop Is doing fairly well.
Gives Vp Special Charter.
Information has been received tbat the
town of Guttenberg, In northeastern Iowa,
has voted 97 to 86 to abandon its special
charter granted by the Sixth general as
sembly in 1857 and In the fall will incorpor
ate under the general laws of the state of
Iowa. The vote was the third one taken
to get rid of the charter. The immediate
cause was the fsct that under the special
charter street Improvements could not be
taxed up to abutting property owners.
There Is no record at the state house of the
pedal charters now in existence, but It
Is known that several towns In Iowa are
still operating under them. This Is the
first one that has been abandoned In a
long time.

MORRISVILLE, Vt. Aug. 19. Klva thou-
sand persons listened to Beoretary ot the
Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, who was the
principal speaker at a republican rally here
today. Secretary Shaw - lived here when
be was a boy and went to school here, and
tbe residents of all tbe section round about
cam to bear blm. He spoke la part a
follows:
I have been Quoted as onnosed to a re.
vision of the tariff. I have never oppoaed
readjustment of the tariff. Whenever con
as to meet changed conditlona, and at the
frlenda of protection are atronr enouah to
conservatively modify certain schedules so
as to meet changed condition and at the
same time auucessfully realat the efforts
of the opposition to revlae the entire tariff
law, thus paralysing bualnesa for a aeaaon,
1 am in favor of tt. I have expreased
some doubt, however, about the wladom of
instructing by resolutions or ezactlna
pledgee from candidatea for congress, when
me enect ia tiaoie to precipitate a pro
tracted debate with very uncertain results.
l nave never seen tne time since I have
ftven public queatlona consideration that
would not reduce the rate on quite a
large number of ttema, nor whan I would
not Increaae the rata on other Itema. It ta
not likely that any member of either houae
of congreaa ever voted for a tariff bill
entirely to hie liking, nor la It probable
mat any president ever aignea a bin that
he would not have chanaed in some nar-
tlcular had It been in hla power. I am
willing to concede that conditlona change,
and that the old Morrill bill ot the 'fiOn,
for instance, when the country waa in
volved in war, would not be appropriate
for ue now, but I will not admit that the
tariff is the mother of trusta, nor will I
concede that a tariff for revenue only will
destroy trusts on any other theory than
that a fir In a wheat Held will destroy
Canada thistles.
The protective tanri ia not the mother
of trusta, though It la the parent of con
ditlona that make It profitable for capital
to combine and for labor to organise.
Iewa Platform Mlsrepreseateel.
The republican party In my atate re
cently reaffirmed the tariff platform of
1ISJ1. Thla haa caused considerable com
ment. It has been misrepresented, not
quite aa persistently, but In the same way
that the memorable apeech of Prealdent
McKlnley at Buffalo haa been misrepre
sented, misquoted, misconstrued and mis
applied. Thla platform waa unanimously
adopted both yeara. It declarea "In favor
of such changes In the tariff from time to
time aa becomea advisable through the
progress of our industries and their chang
ing relatione to tne commerce or ins
world." Ia there any one who la not in
favor of auch changea In the tariff from
time to time aa are advisable?
I am willing the Jury shall be colled on
that proposition. Bo eay we all. ft also de
clarea ''in favor of any modification of
tarin schedule that may be required to

prevent their affording shelter to mo
nopoly." And again we all say "Aye" to
the proposition. There may, be quite a.
radical difference of opinion as to tha
truth of the Implied admission that the
protective tariff does afford shelter to
monopoly, but there would be no differ,
ence of opinion about removing It It it did
afford such shelter.
A few daya ago the butchers, In conven
tion assembled, declared In favor of abol
ishing the tariff on cattle and meat to th
end that thla suppoaed shelter for the al
leged meat trust might be removed, but I
am disposed to think the good farmers of
my state would vote quite unanimously
against such an experiment. Suppose w
take the tariff off beef and then euppoa
the herds of cattle from Mexico and South
America are brought In by the hundred
thouaand. They will find their way t th
s too It yards and th butchers will be com
pelled to bid aralnst tha nuliari i
now. No. The removal of the tariff on live
etock and meat would not reatore the
butcher to bualnesa. It might ruin the
farmers, but the packers could atand it.
for nothing less than organised capital
could enter the meat business with packing
houses In foreign countries, refrigerating
ships and other expensive equipment.
Raaaoa B Appreheaalv.
I happen to know that at laaat one, and
I understand two, of the big packing
houses have had men looking Into the
South American field for more than two
years. The farmer, aa It Is, has ample rea
son to be apprehensive.
I have taken occasion to look this matter
up elnoe reading of theae reeolutlone and
I think I can And reason for the present
price of meat other than the protective
tariff. I find that there were received at
the stock yards In Chicago In the on
170.000 lees hogs than In the same month
one year ago. That means 7.000 less ani
mals per day.
