Some Of the goldbugs, who arc
trembling In their sweaters At the
thought Of what may happen. are
racking their minds and dealing in
some weird conjectures They are
wondering What terrible calamity
might befall this country in the event
that the silver ticket is elected The
man to 90 the farthest in undue ex-
citement is Mr. NJ. b Turner Of oska-
looss, Iowa He writes as follows to
the St Louis Republic.
OF course, there is no probability Of
such an emergency, but suppostng
Bryan and Sewau were duly elected
and inaugurated, then, II President
Bryan should die, could Mr. Sewall
! legally be president he being OF for
eign birth?
! In the ordinary course Of events a
man seeking Information might be ex-
cused for asking such a question, be-
cause il Is almost cinch on dead
moral certainty that Mr. Bryan will
be elected, but only o remote possi-
buity that he will die anytime soon.
However the fact chat Mr. Sewall
was born ia Bath Maine, November
25, 1895, shows that he is not of for
eign birth OF course, an excited gold
man is TO be excused for not knowing
that Maine is in the United states, yet
at the same time we would caution all
men who are trying to present some
tangible reason why the silver ticket
should not be elected to go triie
slow in this torrid weather Mr.
Turner might also have gone farther
in his fears and doubts and wonder
and asked what would happen II all
he suggests would prove true and
that he, too, would be gathered to his
fathers What might happen ia truly
| terrible TO contemplate.

Martens Discovers His Runaway wife
md RecNxers Ilis GlaiIIrx,Ia

martens Discovers His Runaway Wife
and Receivers His Children.
w. A. Martens, smart appearing business
man, created something of sensation yes
terday afternoon by causing the arrest of hi,
wife and sister upon the charge of keeping
and frequenting an asslgnaton house. At
the same time he secured the custody of his
children, two little girls, both under - years
of age.
year and half ago Martens was pros
perous business man at Carroll, Ia, but he
became involved financially and soon after
failed. To retrieve his fortunes he sought
newer fields, and with his wife and children
removed to Hawatha, Kan. His wife soon
became dissatisfied with her new home and
pined for the old associations. Martens was
prospering fairly well and refused to return
with her to Iowa. There was but little do
mestlc friction, and one day about six
months ago, when the husband came home
at night and found hie home deserted and
brief note from his wife saying she had left
him forever, his grief was sharp and bitter
The most careful inquiries and persistent
searching failed to secure any tidings of his
wife and children. He had given up hope of
ever seeing them again until last Friday,
when he received an anonymous letter from
Council Bluffs informing him that his wife
was living here with her sister, a Mrs
kuhl, who was conducting an assignation
mouse, and that the children were being
subjected to dangerous influences
Martens took the first train after receiving
the letter and reached Council Bluffs yes
terday. With the aid Of the police he quickly
located Mrs. Kuhl g dsreputable house on
middle Broadway. His wife, he ascertaned.
was living on North Eighth street with a
rounder who is familiarly known to the police
ao 'Suspender Jack" The little girls were
dividing their time living in the disreput-
able dive kept by their aunt and the equally
dangerous and unfit home of their mother.
AS soon as Martens came into possession
of these facts he hunted up justice of the
peace and filed an information charging his
sister-in-law with keeping house of as
signation and his wife with being an inmate
and a frequenter Of such places The wife
was found at 406 North Eighth street and
Mrs. Kuhl at her place on Broadway. Both
were placed under arrest, but before they
were locked up some friends came forward
and furnished sufficient bail bond to keep
them out Of Jail until the hearing of the
case today in Justice Cooks court.
Martens alleges that his wife has gone en-
tirely to the bad and that all he wants nov
is the possession of his two little girls and a
divorce from the unnatural mother.
