Sad news comes to Ottumwa, where
she was we'll known, OF the death by
the drowning of Mrs. Bimeby,' u
home missionary well.known there,
who was sent out to the Ponce Indians.
She, with her husband and little son,
were crossing swollen creek, in a
spring wagon with cover. The bus
band drove as he supposed upon a
bridge, but went off into u deep hole
on one side. Mrs. Bimeby became en-
tangled in thee covering of the wagon
and floating timber and drowned be-
fore her husband could reach her.
The auditor Of state has been di-
rected TO draw warrant for $15S.4S
in favor OF Mrs, A. L. Belknap. This
is the commission due Gen. Belknap
as agent of the state OF Iowa for Sc
curing the allowance by the war de-
partment of a claim for expenses for
raising volunteers under the act OF
July 81, 1861. Gen. Belknap had just
succeeded in having the first of the
claims allowed prior to his death and
was working on the larger ones. The
payment will be made direct to the
widow because it is understood that
the generals accounts are badly mixed
and she needs ready money.
Rev. John Garlock, an itinerant re-
vivalist, we'll known in northwestern
Iowa, declared war against dancing
ghost or any other style. At Iowa
Falls he was very bitter in his denun-
citation of the pastime and made a
vigorous effort to break up dancing
club composed of the best people of
the city. Many of the dancers had
hitherto been warm admirers of Rev.
Mr.. Garl0ck, but they promptly de-
clared a boycott against the evange-
list and refused TO attend his meetings.
In return Rev. Mr.. Garlock, in the
pulpit, has made it very warm for the
dancers, and bitter feeling has been
engendered.
Presiding Elder Black has returns
OF tho voting in the Algona district on
women as lay delegates, and the
figures are 4SS for the ladies and 116
agaiht, total vote of 604. But one
church gave majority against, that
being at Humboldt. As the total
membership OF the district is 3,127,
about onc-fifth voted. Counting half
the members as under voting age,
still less than half voted. As the
vote is advisory merely, this luke
warmness is likely TO amount to q
negative, and many Methodists believe
that the move to let ladies in will be
defeated sunless the returns from else
where are very different.
Kossuth county is about TO prove to
the state that the agricultural college
graduates arc farmers. The Misses
Mann, two young ladies who received
their diplomas at the late commence
ment have plans already perfected ior
carrying on a horticultural farm next
season on scientific principles. They
will begin with ten acres, which will
be devoted wholly TO small fruits and
apples. They expect, however, to
sugar bects and other vegetables.
They have line farm about, three
miles from Algoua, and their father,
now dead, was one OF the pioneer fruit
growers in the county. The success
of their experiment Will be watched
with interest.
A daring burglary and probable
murder occurred in Sioux City. Chris
;ian Oemig, German milk-vender,
and bis son, William, live in a howell
near the packing houses. The old
man is worth at least 100000, made
by close application TO business dur.
ing the last thirty years, and by the.
rise in the valuation OF real estate.
Notwithstanding his great wealth he
has lived in u wretched hut since his
wife died two years ago, has been liv-
ing alone with his son. Three men
forced the door open, and in doing so
awakened the occupants. The young
man at once grappled one OF the in
truders and was shot in the breast,
the ball entering the lung. The old
man was beaten about the head and
knocked senseless. The robbers then
left without getting anything.
