Some months ago at Keokuk Eliza
Alexander sued Felix Young for $1,000
alleged to be due for board furnished
Young and wife. The trial of the case,
the largest suit on board bill ever
tried in Keokuk, was conclu led in the
superior court few days ago. The
jury were out but few minutes, when
they returned verdict for plaintiff,
but only allowed her $50.

month ago to visit friends in Hampton,
Ill He afterward went to Rock Island
and nothing has since been heard from
him, although he is supposed to still be
there. The parents are doing all in
their power to locate the boy, but he
seems as determined to stay away from
home as they are to find him.
A man named C. B. Donovan met
with serious accident at Cedar Rap
ids which resulted in his death after
two days suffering of excruciating
pain. He was driving along with dyna-
mite cartridges and matches In the
same pocket. A sudden lurch of the
wagon caused an explosion which
threw him out of the wagon on barb

in his abdomen and his internal organs
were torn into fragments.
The boys of Company c assemble in
fairly large numbers at the Armory at
Iowa City anc elected withouta contest
Mr.. c. c, Slower, captain, and Mr.
George NJ. Parsons first lieutenant
The former was promoted from the
first lieutenancy and the latter from
the Office of orderly sergeant. Both
are well-merlted preferments, and the
members conferred the honor upon
each with pleasure, expecting the good
services they will surely receive.
During the week the several classes
at Penn College have been indulging in
friendly contest as to whose colors
should wave over the main building.
In the struggle some little damage was
done to college property and the facul-
ty then took the matter in hand and
suspended four of the junior class.
The other classes then dropped their
animosities and united against the fac
ulty. This resulted in the suspension
of eighteen members of the sopho-
more class. The end is not yet.
Justice Foley, of Sioux City, before
whom the cases for violating the Sab
bath laws were brought, decided that
the running of street cars on Sunday
is necessity and not prohibited by
Iowa statutes. All of the rapid transit
companies which were stopped from
opera ton last Sunday joined in one
case as test, and it was tried on an
agreed statement of facts. This dis.
poses of all the cases against the street
car companies, and they will doubtless
not be molested, but the warfare will
be continued by the Saloon Mems Re-
taliation League against cigar stands,
fruit stores and probably against news
papers,

trict court a transcript of Judgment
