The Mason City Republican tells
Of heretofore considered respecta-
BILE woman near that place packing
up her trunk, kissing her husband
and four bright little children, and
leaving for parts unknown. Her
husband has always been kind and
considerate to his wife, and is unable
to account for her conduct. 1t is sup
posed that she has O paramour she
will join.-Clarksville Star.
The attraction for which the moth
er left her husband and children is
well known in Waverly he deals in
tax-titles and is often seen driving d
blackboard into town with horse or
two leading behind. When the hus-
band was known to be after him with
. loaded six-shooter, he didn't wait
for the 'sofficial count" nor appeal to
the Supreme Court" but advised the
mother and wife to return to the
bosom of her family. When he goes
up around Clear Lake hereafter on
business he is going to spare enough
money from his plethoric purse to
stop at hotels, and not be sneaking
around farm houses. He is warned
by the threatened condition of the
country that it's dangerous to be safe
around another mans domicil.-

An Absent Minded eenator,

That curious democratic parsonage,
Senator Goldthwaite, of Alabama,
will soon disapper from public life.
His successor is elected.
Senator. Goldthwaitc has long been
afflicted with Observation-Disclosures
He has great difficulty in keeping
track of his wearing apparel, He
constantly loses his coat or his hat
One or two pages are kept running
a good deal of the time to supply the
gentleman's lack of intellect. If he
goes to the House, he will take his
hat and cloak there, and be sure to
leave one, or both of them on sofa
or on some members desk. He has
often had to wait for hours while
messengers were hunting up stray
garments. lie also has the habit of
taking other peoples coats by mis-
take, particularly if they happen to
hang near his own peg. One day a
Senator missed his coat, which had
about $500 in money in it. The
disappearance was attended by such
singular circumstances that the de-
tectives were quietly put upon the
trail. Four days afterwards a couple
of detectives called at Senator Gold
thwaite's house and asked him if he
had his own coat. After searching
his closet for a time, he returned,
bringing the lost coat, saying, "This
does not look quite like my coat
The lost money was safe in the peck.

FUNERAL oBsEou1Es.
The Remains Of the Late Judge
Baldwin, Conveyed to their Last
Resting Place.
council BUNS NoppareII. Dec. 10.

"
The funeral obscquies of the late
Judge Caleb Baldwin took place at
his late residence, on Willow street, at
two o'clock p. H., on Sunday after
noon, the 18th inst. At that time a
large number of our citizens, as well
as many distinguished persons from
abroad, assembled to pay their last
sad respects to the remains of him who
in life they had honored and respect
ed. The Pottawattamie Bar Associ-
alton attended in a body, as did also
the members of the Supreme Bench
Of the State, with the exception of
Justice Adams, whose illness confined
him to his room. The remains Of the
distinguished dead were enclosed in
q chaste and elegant casket, which
was covered with dark cloth and orr
namented with silver mountings,
This was placed in the east parlor,
and upon it a large wreath of flowers
and evergreens. The funeral services
were conducted by the Rev. T. III.
Cleland, the pastor Of the Presbytcr-
ian church, of which the deceased had
been worthy and hOnored member.
The solemn exercises were opened by
singing the 1,2l5th hymn, which was
eminently appropriate to the occa-
sion, and one selected by Mrs. Bald
win as expressive of her feelings I'M
der the sorrowful circumstances.
Then followed an earnest and pathet-
ic prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Thickstun,
upon the conclusion of which Rev.
Mr.. Cleland read portion of the
xxiid Psalm. Mr.. Cleland then Sc
lectcd his text from John xiii and Z.
"What / do thou knowest not now,
but thou shalt hereafter" Although
these words were the basis Of his re-
marks, the ideas of his discourse
seemed to cluster around an answer
made by the Judge to his wife, who
asked him as he lay upon his bed of
final suffering, 'If he did not see the
hand of his Heavenly Father in his
a1fliction?" To which he replied in a
spirit of humility and Christian fOrti-
tude, "Oh, yes, the Lord looks on all
sides.' The discourse was not long,
but was eminently fit and appropri-
ate to the sterling character and chris
tian life of the lamented dead. When
it was concluded prayer was offered,
a hymn was sung, and the services
closed with benediction pronounced
by the Rev. Mr.. Webb, of the Episco-
pal church. Then the living looked
upon the dead for the last time this
side of eternity, and the remains were.
conveyed to Walnut Hill Cemetery
and laid in their last resting place.
