From the Dubuque Times, August al
A Modern IBIuebeard.

Three years ago there was no happier girl
In all Milwaukee than Mary Schroeder.
Her parents were In comfortable circum-
stances, and refused their daughter nothing
that could add to her comfort and happi-
ness. 4.tJlJQD = -
One day she met Chris. Gantenbein, and
was introduced to him. He had Just served
two years in the Wisconsin penitentiary
for bigamy, but he did not tell Mary of it.
He had not handsome face, he had not a
pleasant voice he had ugly eyes so she
did not love him. But in a month or
two he proposed marriage. lie had told
her parents Of his great properly in the city
OF ofDubuque-how rich he was-Mary should
have every luxury, plenty of servants and
no work-she should have horses and car
riages at her command; she need not even
walk if she did not choose to. SO when
Mary said mo, I will not marry you,"
her parents said 'syes, you shall marry him,
married him. She came to Dubuque with
him. There was no carriage to receive her
at the ferry landing. She walked with him
clear up to the Fifth ward to his brothers
house. There she learned that he was not
only not rich, but was very poor tfh '-
Somebody furnished him little money
and he started a saloon. Soon he moved
into the building at the corner of Fifteenth
and Iowa streets. Customers came 70 him
and he commenced prospecting. Alas for
Mary He commenced getting drunk, too,
and to beat her. Her home was o perfect
hell to her. She was liz constant fear of
life, and she says that time and again, when
she asked for money to buy food, she has
been answered by blow and kick. She
became mother, and then her torments of
heart were doubled, for she knew of her
inability to protect the child in his mo-
ments-or rather hours--of passion. Thus
she has lived for three years subject to
more kicks than kisses-more blows than
blessings-a hundred fold more.
This life of torment eliminated last Sutur-
day. Gantenbein got drunk. Several times
during the day he whipped his wife. In
the evening, with her child in her arms, she
told him there was no bread in the house,
and nothing fot the little one to eat. He
swore terrible oath, and said he would
give her bread Picking up dog chain,
he wound Il about her neck, knocked her
down on the floor, and then dragged her
