Some Of the boys did 60 down, but when
they got there the trouble had subsidized.

A Very Strange Story from Iowa.
New York Herald, sNov..2.l

The Muscatine Tribune tells it., She
was young woman Of Muscatine, who
taught school few miles away, boarding
in the family Of farmer who had two
grown-up sons. There"Mas no evidence
Of improper intimacy or signs of unusual
familiarity between the young woman
and the young men. But one of the
brothers cautioned her to lock her room
door at night, which she had not done
before. The other brother had been for
time employed in a drug store. The
young woman at last came home to Mus
catine sick, and protested to be US much
surprised as he friends were when the
physician who was called pronounced, her
to be e,,ceiate. She could not and would
not believe him, but asserted and re-as-
serted her innocence andignorAnce of her
condition up to the time he told her of it..
When the child was born it was adopted
by the farmers son, who had been q
drug clerk, and he carried it to his home.
After the birth of the child the young
mother solemnly raised her hand and
swore that she knew nothing Of its con.
ception or fatherhood. In spite Of these
impressive reservations, more or less
suspicion still clouded the girls inno-
cence. The suspicion was Of nature
that involved questions Of medical sci.

will act independently as soon as
the pool demands more than rea.

hand 1t Is asserted that this road would
have gone into the pool at once, but for
the fact that the Erie and the Atlantic &
Great Western railroads, which form a
portion of the new line, are in the hands
of receivers, and therefore could not pool
their earnings. The Grand Trunk rail.
way is again at work fighting the comb.

for the independent stand 1t takes when

it being no lon ger able to use the Michi-
gan Central. As soon as navigation
opens again next spring, the Grand Trunk
road, however, can compel the pool to
keep down the rates to reasonable figures

which he said: Their duty was to uphold
the cause OF Catholic education. He did not
mean they should do SO in words unbecom

Catholics speaking on the question, they
should speak plainly, cost what il may. Ii
The nine millions of Catholics distributed
throughout this land could in one movement
say q al Ii was not their desire TO break down
the public schools of the country, the ears of
their opposers would be closed to the sound,
and the politician at every new election
would use this question as foot ball to suit
bis purpose: that the Catholics meant 70
break down the public schools. IL was in

education too much for such a desire; that
they were working for a broader aud less
