gram to the BEE. b f. Shafer, promi-
nent farmer living near Buitman, was
brought to the insane asylum to-day by the
sheriff of Nodiway county. Skaters case is
a queer one. Up to within the last week he
has always been considered one of the most
evenly balanced men of his county and Of
quiet, methodical habits. Thursday last his
daughter was married to young man
of the neighborhood much against
her fathers consent. Mr.. Shafcr
used every means in his power
to prevent the match but the young people
were determined to marry and so informed
him. Attemps were made in various ways
to break the match off but the young folks
were obstinate, declaring that they were
both old enough to be accountable for their
actions. Mr. Schafer refused to attend the
wedding but when the report was brought to
him he took it so quietly that every one
thought he would soon become reconciled.
He scarcely spoke to any one all day Thurs
day and Friday night went quiently to bed
In the morning great change was noticed in
him and about 10 o'clock, after
retiring some unoarthly yells and
violently gesticulating he made break for
the woods near by A search by the mem
bers of the family failed to reveal his where
abouts and posse ofneighbors was collected
which secured the woods in every direction,
but he was not found until Saturday night.
He was taken home in the hopes that he
would recover, but physicians pronounced
him insane, and he was consequently brought
to the aSylum.

cashier of the late Fidelity National bank,
died suddenly this morning at his residence

other officers of the Fidelity bank, but for
some reason his bond was placed at $4,000
and he was able to secure bondsmen, and he
has not been in Jail In the absence of spec
itic information as TO the cause of his death,
the theory of suicide is common among down
town people who are familiar with the family
and who know the mental trouble the
man has undergone within the past year
The theory of suicide has no support what
ever from the fact of Baldwin's death. He
died from the effects of paralysis. Tue sday
night he retired in his usual health, and yes
terday morning his family found him wing
unconscious. All efforts 10 rouse him failed.
His physicians pronounced it q case f par

with hope that they may secure some very
much needed legislation this winter Tho
Farmers alliance is represented in the lobby
in the person of Mr.. Kennedy, of Ida county,

very anxious eyes the progress of the fight,
II is believed that Mr.. Kulp, of Ida county,

MISS CAMPBELL'S CASE.
She Testifies About Bleaching Her
Hair and Other Interesting Topics.

New York, Jan. 5.-In the breach of
promise suit Miss Campbell took the stand
again this morning. When ex-Judge Fuller
ton began to read more of the correspondence
between her and Mr.. Arbuckle she moved
about in a restless manner. Tears coursed
down her cheeks as her counsel read appeal
after appeal that she had written to her
lover, beseeching him to keep his promise,
and the answers that grew colder as the Win
ter of lSS3-S4 approached She did not re-
member that Arbuckle had sent her letter
stating that he could not marry her or any
other woman, owing to the condition of his
health. She believed he said he had malaria
and bronchial troubles, but she did not be-
lievc he knew what was the matter with him.
Miss Campbell said she had reason to be
dissatisfied with her lovers course. He did
not talk of marriage Mr.. Parsons inquired
about her engagement to Arbuckle. She
said she first met that gentleman February
12, and on April II became engaged. Pos
sibly she might have seen him dozen times
in the interval She could not say definitely
without consulting calendar. Many ques-
tions about her alleged improprieties of riding
in the front seat of open horse crrs of going
in bathing alone etc, followed, but the wit
ness happily parried each legal thrust. Then
she explained the circumstance of bleaching
her hair and said she stopped doing so when
her lover objected. This subject was soon
dropped and the interrogations reverted to
her stay in Europe and her return to Amer
lea Miss Campbell curtly informed Parsons
that her acquantances i'll Milan were OPP
