DIR. Paul Caster, Of Ottumwa, who
with his wife spent last week in this
city visiting at Mr.. j. j. :Parker's, is q
marvel of success, Whatever else may
be thought of him. We learn from
the Osceola Sentinel that he was q
basket.maker in Decatur county met
with an accident and was pronounce
ed incurable; an angel appeared to
him in trance, told him how he
could heal himself, and following the
directions he was almost instantly
healed. He was now directed by his
Spirit Guide to 20 to Ottumwa and
proclaim himself healer BY the lay
ing on Of hands, (rubbing) and he
would become famous for his power.
He went about nine years ago, and
some Of his cures, established by nm
deniable testimony approach the mir
aculOus. Year before last, his income
was SIG, 900 ; il was but little less last
year. His magnificent four-story In.
Urinary cost $4,000, and his private
residence 10 the finest in the city, cost
ing about $4,000. His yearly income
exceeds that of any bu-iness firm In
Ottumws. He can neither read nor
write he gives no medicine /; he char
ges very moderate. His great success
is wonderful. He has several hum
dred patients now under treatment.
The doctor claims TO be moved and
directed by Spirit power. He is
kind-hearted and religious, and near
~ every Sabbath, some one of the
ministers of the orthodox churches of
the city hold religious services In his
large pariors. He is . prodigy

) On Friday and Saturday last, Clerk

cd for the purpose, was engaged In
taking testimony in an interesting
case entitled the "Tama Hydraulic
Co. W. David B. Sears"-the plain
tiffs company at Tama City, Iowa,
and the defendant q resident Of Mi
Ism. Ill. The suit 10 brought to re-
cover damages to the amount Of ~
600. The ground of it may be found
in the statement that in 1874 Mr..
Sears took the contract for construct
inga dam and race at Tama City for
the Hydraulic company; he complet-
ed the job and It was accepted by the
Among other things they
gave him stock to the value Of s., 600
az collateral for their indebtedness to
him In that amount. Now they bring
suit In equity to require him to give
up the collaterals, for the alleged rea-
son that the work he did for the COM
pany was not properly done, and that
they were damaged to tho amount Of
81, 600 by his remissness in the build
ing operations. So PLAINTIFF ask not
only that Mr.. Sears be compelled to
return the stock, but that judgement
be rendered against him and in their
favor for $4,000 beside. It win be
noticed that some pretty interesting
points of law rise in this case. The
testimony Of John D. AIRY, Engineer
of the construction of the dam and
race, Henry Sears, foreman Of the
work, and H. Q. Orion, Mr.. Scar, .
superintendent, was taken by Major
Andrews. Benjamin A. Hall, Of Ta-
ma City, was attorney for the plain

developed on the trial that johnson

next day he travelled on the railroad
until he reached a point near Com
merce, where he met Catherine re-
turning from that village to her home
near by. johnson took the girl by
her arms and threw her down an EN-.
bankment about ten feet high and
then attempted to violate her person.
The child screamed and alarmed her
mother, who was In house near by,

A FREAK OF LAw.-Sometime since
q Board Of Directors in school dis
trict in southern Iowa resolved to
build q school house. They had not
enough money on hand to complete
it, but had enough on the tax books.
A contractor was found to put up the
building, and one Of the residents of
the district had about $500 idle, which
he was willing to loan to the board
until the taxes should become due,
and did go. The contractor received
the cash. completed the building, and
1t has long been occupied for school
purposes. or course the man that ad-
vanced the money received his own
back again in the spring only he
didn't. The directors decided that
they had no right to borrow money
except by virtue of an instructing
vote Of the people, and would not
and did not pay. The loser brought
suit. but tho courts have decided al.

A few weeks ago little girl in st.

diphtheria, was taken by her parents
to visit 10 family in q neighboring

four Of them were taken with the

The family permitted relatives and
neighbors to visit them, and the re.
suit is several cases in the neighbor-
hood. They had public funerals, even
keeping the remains Of one child an
unusual time, waiting for another to
die, so as to bury them together; and
this also spread the contagion. The
