structure, and before the fire depart

Mrs. Sadie Hathaway, wife of w.
0. Hathaway, railway postal clerk,
at Ottumwa, committed suicide at her
home, Dec. 9th, by cutting, her throat
with razor. The cause OF the deed
is mystery. Mrs. Hathaway was u
lovely woman and Hathaway is one Of
the finest men and husbands. They
had three small children. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hathaway went to Ottumwa sew
eral years ago from Bloomfield, where
they were married eight years ago.
Mrs. Hathaway before her marriage

A terrible accident occurred near
Rolfe in which G. w. Marquette, a
timer, aged so, lost his life, and VIM.
Kennedy was badly bruised and injur.
ed. The two men were working at a
pump when the ground caved in,
throwing Marquette down into the
well head formost. As he descended
his head struck against jutting rock
MASKING his skull, which killed him
instantly. Mr., Kennedy was down in
the we'll about 25 feet at the time the
accident occurred and it is miraculous
how he escaped alive. Although he
is terribly injured it is not thought to
be fatal.
Mrs. Lewis Duwa, living near Rich
mond, Washington county, met with a
sudden and terrible death in some
mysterious manner Sunday night, Dec
ist. She and her husband had lived
happily together for nearly year Of
welded life when the terrible misfor-
tune came upon them. Mrs. DIVA
was expecting some neighbors to come
in Sunday night, and she went upstairs
to change her dress. She had been
gone but few minutes when the re-
port of gun was heard by her hus-
band. Mr.. Duwa fastened upstairs
and found his wife with gunshot
wound in the head and his gun upon
the floor. He at once aroused the
neighbors and the unfortunate woman
was cared for. The wound extended
from below the check bone almost
straight upward to the center of the
top Of tho head. The gun haa been
hanging in horizontal position, and
the suppositon is that Mrs. DIVA &C.
cidentally knocked the gun down and
it vas discharged. She died next day.
The new St. Francis Zavier Catholic
church, at Dyersville, was dedicated
Dec. lst by Bishop Hennessey, assisted
by forty priests of that diocese. The
bishops sermon was devoted to read
ing the riot act to the congregation.
When Father Korlenkamp died the
parish requested that Rev. Brinkmann
be selected as parish priest, but the
bishop ignored their request and APP
pointed Rev. Herr. Warm words fol-
lowed, and letter was sent to Bishop
Hennessey which he read during the
sermon. 1t warned him not to go to
Dyersville, or he would never return
to Dubuque alive, and was signed
white Cars" A dead silence fell
over the $500 people in the church
when the letter was read, and the
bishop for fifteen minutes gave the
rebellious members OF the parish q
severe tongue lashing for which he is
characterized. He scorned the idea oil
teaching assassination, treason, rebel
lion and White Caplsm in the church,
and made the guilty parties feel as
though they wished they were not
there. In short, he gave them to
understand that he was the bishop and
they must obey his will.
