The horse ridden by Surgeon c. II.
Lothrop, of the First Iowa cavalry,
still living at Lyons, at the mature age
of 35 and in jair condition. There is
some thought Ct exhibiting him at the
Worlds Fair II he shall live until it
opens. 1t has been found necessary,
Irecently, to file and trim his teeth to
enable him to appropriate sufficient
food to keep him in good condition.
Eliza and Fannie Linn, half-sisters of
John and G. w. Jaster, have sued the
latter for 81, 200. On the death of their
father the farm property was left to the
parties with the provisions that the de-
PENDANTS were to harvest all crops. 1t
is alleged that they failed to perform
their part of the agreement and refused
to allow others to do the work, result
ing in loss to plaintiffs of 1000 bushels
of corn and thirty-five tons of hay.
About $3.50 o'clock in the morning the
grain elevator and contents at Earl
vile, the property of N. II. Sargent,
were totally destroyed by fire. When
first discovered, the fire was in the en-
engine room, where it is supposed to
have started, and had gained such
Roadway as to be uncomfortable. But
for the vigorous efforts of the fire de-
partment large portion of the town
would have been burned. The building
was insured for SO, 900 and contents for
81, 200, SO that the loss will not fall so
heavily on Mr.. Sargent.
Capt. George w. Perrigo died at
Hanover, Ind, and was buried at
Dubuque by the Grand Army posts of
Dubuque, Galena and East Dubuque.
He served through the war in the
union navy. At Ticksburg or New Or
leans his ship was blown up and he
was thrown into the water, where he
remained for several hours. The re-
suit was an affection of the spine which
! developed into disease few
years ago and compelled him to relin-
quish his position on the Galena Ga.
zette. He then became a writer for
several metropolitan papers, dealing
with war "reminiscences.
II is often the case that Ameri-
can girls with wealth who look to En-
ropean gentlemen of rank and title get
fooled, but not always Major Staten
Pasha, who recently died at Constanti-
nople, and who took the place of Ris-
tow Pasha in the Turkish army as in
structor general, was married to Miss

sympathy from the sultan and the Ger
mar emperor, as well as other digni-
taries, for the widow was great when
her husband died. Her father-in-law,
wealthy merchant at Cammin, Prus-
STA, celebrated his s0th year when the
news of his sons death came. An
uncle of the widow, George Schriker,
lives in Council Bluffs.
/ William Hutchinson, a mute, left the
institution for the deaf and dumb at
Council Bluffs, and notwithstanding
| a vigorous search was made for him, no
news was received of the lad for four
days, when Warren Hough came in
from Crescent City and telephoned the
1 ihobitutC biidV tuC wy Wdo bo bio paw.
He was found near Crescent by a
farmeE and was almost frozen. He was
left at Mr.. Hough's place, and it was
some time afterward before they could
induce the boy to inform them who he
was. There was no reason for his leav.
ing the institute SO far as has been
made known, but it Is probable that he
was en- route home to Monona county,
where he was county charge.
A disgraceful drunken row happened
at Des Moines, in which a quartette OF
toughs participated, resulting in the
serious stabbing of one of them, Henry
Smith, who now lies at the hospital
being patched up. The men who are
Charles Stewart and Jacob Woodward.
4 No particular cause is assigned for the
trouble more than that the party got
to quarrelling and finally one of the
three grabbed Smith and another went
for him with cheese knife. One
wound nearly ten inches in depth was
in the feshy part of the thigh and
another in the back. Smith is expected
to recover. The two named were ar
rested by the police. They plead not
guilty. In default of $500 bond apiece
all went to Jail.
There are twenty-five very much sur
prised saloon keepers in Ottumwa.
They have fallen into the habit, it is
alleged, of failing to destroy the rev.
enue stamps on revenue packages, thus
pocketing 80 cents for every gallon Of
the spirituous goods sold. Revenue
Collector O'Neill of Burlington became
aware of it and quietly collected evil
dence that will indict all of them. One
of the saloon keepers, thinking to fort.
ify himself, sent word to his clerk to
erase the labels on the empties, but
the stupid fellow made worse job Of
it by erasing the labels on the filled
was among the number of violaters.
He took the matter philosophically, and
when told of the officers action said
"Tell the officers to take everything
I've got except my family"
