Ecccntrfcities of Exprcssmen.

Occasionally something will slip out of an
express package and become lost, so far as
Identification is concerned. or in going a
long journey through the express offices
the tag will become detached. 1t then be-
comes a "growler," the source of no end
of trouble and often amusement. If the
article is worth anything, it generally finds
it's owner in time, but If it happens to be
some nondescript affair, of no intrinsic
value, it is left to the express agents to
dispose of, and no GROWER" is ever rushed
like one of these. An old straw hat of
about the vintage of 1880 reached the local
office of the Adams Express company yester-
day, bearing hundreds of tags from all
parts of the United States and Canada. 1t
started last March from Montreal, Canada,
and has never had a chance to rest since,
at least not longer than one night. One
express agent sends it to another, appropri-
ately and frequently deliberately tagged, and
thus it goes on its rounds until it has visited
every principal express Office on the CONT
nent. Mementoes In the shape of old pipes,
and occasionally a well-worn shoe are added,
and each agent feels 1t to be his duty to
add some sort of a sentiment to the tag he
attaches when he sends it along on its end
less journey.
The old hat has gone through every office
in the Atlantic coast states, crossed into
Texas and is now on its way north.

TROUBLES OF THE VESTS
Wife in Court Makes Serious Accusations
Against Her Husband.
SHE SEEKS PROTECTION OF THE LAW
Alleges hat IL Course of Inhumnn
Treatment Has illuminated In the
Procuring of u Fraudulent
Divorce.

Mary West has asked the court to come
in and help her out of a domestic and
financial tangle. with her it's a case Of
wife or widow, and she wants her stand
ing established.
In her petition filed in the district court
yesterday Mrs. West alleges that she got a
Christmas present OF a husband at Nicola
in 1890, in the person of George West. She
alleges that West has forgotten all his
marriage vows and has been guilty of in
human and cruel treatment and has so
abused his wife that she felt that her life
was in danger, Then. as a cap to the eli
max of lll-treatment, he deserted her and
has failed to contribute to her support for
more than two years.
And as IL that was not enough, Mrs, West
shows that her husband claims to have
secured a divorce from her in Nodaway
county. Missouri. In June. 1898. Now, Mrs.
West alleges, her husband never lived in
Nodaway county in his life long enough to
acquire a residence there and that his home
has been in Pottawattamie county for years
and he has large property interests here.
She asserts that the decree of divorce given
in the Missouri court was obtained by false
swearing and fraud and that she was never
served with notice of the suit.
Mrs. West alleges that her husband has
several big rich farms in this county and
that he has recently been transferring them
to some of his many brothers for a nominal
consideration. She alleges that this is done
for the purpose of defrauding her. She
asks that her rights as the lawful wife CT
George West be established by the court,
that her dover in the property be settled
and that the deeds Of the property by her
husband to members of his family be set
aside as fraudulent and that her husband
be enjoined from further attempting to Sc
cure a divorce from her by fraudulent
methods and by false swearing.

BUTTER AND (aEESE MAKING
Iowa Farmers Find the Products Of Milk
the More Profitable,
GROWTH OF THE, 6AIRYlNG INTEREST
Commissioners BonrtImnn Finds IL Has
Outstripped All other Lines of
Rural Industry in the
Hnwkeyc state.

DIES MONIES, July 81. (special)-
The growth of dairy interests in
Iowa, in the face Of the general depression
in farm products in the last two or three
years, has been remarkable. State Dairy
COMMISSIONS w. X. Boardman declares
that d~airying has been the only line OF
agricultural operation that has been fairly
profitable in the state, and that comparisons
of prices will show that dairy products
have not lost over half as much in value
as other farm products. The result has
been an immense development of dairying
and 1t is going on this year at a greater
rate than ever before. The north and north
west parts of the state, which are compare
lively new, are rapidly developing into
dairy settlements, and in the eastern, CEN
trail and southern parts of the state the in
dustry is growing constantly.
According to Mr.. Boardman's statistics
the average value of farm products has
fallen from 40 to so per cent; but the value
of butter and cheese has decreased only
about half this. One result is a new inter-
est in cheese manufacture. Since the passage
by congress of the filed cheese bill the
commissioners office has been besieged
daily by applications for information on the
while 1t is now the first butter state in
the union, has not made enough cheese to
supply its own demand, and has imported
largely from Illinois and Wisconsin. In
various parts of the state, however, ar
rangements are being made to put in cheese
factories, and indications are the industry
is entering on an era of rapid growth.

In the Police Court.

At the morning session of the police court
yesterday Walden Tucker and Joe Greer,
two pilgrims, were given ffteen-day SEN
fences on the street gang for vagrancy. Both
are happy-hearted fellows from Texas, built
upon an anatomical plan that indicated some
ability as foot-racers. officer Vandenburg,
who has charge of the gang, failed to OBJ
serve this physical popularity, and gave the
young men no more attention than he be-
slowed upon the other members of the force
when he marshaled them for the afternoons
work. They took advantage of the first
opportunity to escape, and had half a block
the start of the officer before he noticed
that he was shy two men. He started after
them, but they went up the step grade on
Oakland avenue at a speed that quickly left
him out of sight in the rear. Officer Muir
ply Joined in the chase and eventually
recaptured them. He made a detour around
MINISTER springs and met the young men in
Fairview cemetery. The patrol wagon was
sent up the hill and brought them back to
the station. City Attorney Hazelton was
notified and asked to look up the new law
which makes it a felony for a prisoner to
escape from the custody of an officer. If he
decides that the law applies to this case the
young men will stand a chance of serving
a term in the penitentiary as a penalty for
trying to escape a light sentence for va
grancy.
