MODEL LOVERS, THESE.
Adversely Is Overcome in Manly
Fashion by n Swiss Toiier.
From the Sioux City Dispatch.


Gottfried Struchen and Elisa Winkle-
mann, formerly of Berne, Switzerland,
and now of Clay county, this state, are
ideal lovers. Neither separation nor
adversely had the power to subdue their
affection for each other and after an
engagement of ten years they are about
to be married at Struchen's home in
RiVerton township, short distance
from Spencer, Ia,
1t was in December, 1887 that Struch-
en- and his sweetheart met and became
engaged. Struchen had neither money
nor prospects, however, and their we'd
ding seemed likely to be deferred in
definitely. After two years of waiting
Struchen decided that if he stayed in
Switzerland he was likely to remain
single the rest of his life. He had not
even the funds to pay his passage to
America, so he shipped before the mast,
arrived in New York in January 1889,
worked his way west to Iowa and final
ly secured employment as a farm hand
in Clay county.
He was unable to save money fast
enough, however, so he went to Omaha
and for two years followed the trade of
a wagonmaker. At the end of that time
he returned to Iowa, bought a farm. and
a few weeks ago was able to send to
Switzerland for Miss Winklemann. In
stead of working her passage as Struch-
en- had done the young woman came
over in the first cabin and Travelled in
Pullman from New York to her west
ern home.
Struchen is now one of the wealthiest
farmers in Northwestern Iowa, and his
marriage to Miss Winklananp will he
celebrated within the next few days.

suited and has swallowed in perfect con-

Judge 0imonton Roverses q Decision or the
Genoral Appraisers In Row York.
CHARLESTON. Sc. Dec. 24--An important do
cision under the tariff laws was made by Judge
6imonton in the United States Court hero to-
day. Some time ago J. N. Keane Of New York
imported In Charleston from Belfast . guam
tity Of ginger ale. Tho Collector ct Charles
ton, In estimating the duty payable on this i'm
portation, took into consideration tho cost of
corking and wiring the bottles and assessed
charges on tho whole amount. Keane protested
against this, and held that the corking and wir-
Ing were o part of tho cost Of the bottles and
should not DO assessed for duty under tho Tariff
act of juno. 1890.
The Board of United States General Apprais.
ers In New York reversed tho decision Of tho
Collector. The board declared that the wiring
cost was part of tho bottle cost, and that ginger
ale bottles were free from duty. The Govern
mont ordered q review Of the boards decision.
In his opinion Judge Simonton says:
~ wiring with the corking IN the case be.

tain q commercial character, must be charged
