Manning, of Ostumwa, Iowa, bv
Chief Fender today, it is stated that
w. 8. Manning. who hiss been At DO.

is an escaped patient from the in
sane asylum at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.
The writer is the patients brother.
He is cashier at tho National bank at
Ottumwa. He tells the chief tina. he
will stand the expense Of his broth
er's return to Mt. Pleasant, ard init
mates that he is doing a great deal
at that, as he claims he has been a
bother to the family for the past Is
years.
Manning has recovered his speech
and mental equilibrium, apparent
~, and recalls everything which has
transpired since his detention here.
He claims that he was robbed on
Nineteenth street and Second ave.
nue.. where the police found him. and
that u. all the money in his posses.
sion at the time, was taken from
him. Lnst night Tommy O'Donnell
and Jimmy Flynn were arrested BY

Manning is an interesting talker,
and shows ira ,es Of Re finement. He is
evidently well educated, and claims
that until q year ago he conducted o

that four years ago his grandfather,

Meyer Arms $50 Men and 10 walt.ag for
A Fulton dispatch to today's Chi
cago Tribune says: "Citizens are
ali quietly preparing for war. which
they think may come at any mo-
ment. Mayor Schwab last night
called for volunteers and over one
hundred and fifty men responded.
They were sworn as special police
men and armed with shotguns.
Sheriff Fuller was in the city collect
ing evidence for the preliminary ex.
animation of j. G. johnson. the at
torney. which will be held here mex
Monday. Maj. c. W. Halves, head
clerk. returned TO the city this
morning. The board of directors is
also here and will meet in the Office
this week. William Bennett, CITY
marshal, is improving. while Julius
Sterenberg is still in very critical
condition"
Wonder if the arms with which
the Fulton body guard is armed are
furnished by the state of Iowa!
Regardless of where they came
from, however, the Fulton people,
while waiting for the next invasion,
might practice by dividing their com.
panies and firing on each other.
The Clinton Herald, whose sympa.
thies are entirely with the Fulton
people, is forced to admit that ..aft-r
their defeat the Rock Islanders made
no resistance, and we're very peace
able and received all the insults Fol.
ton threw at them, without Offering
any remonstrance. 1t seems queer
that master in chancery, an Office
no higher than justice Of the peace,
can give injunctions when the su.
perior court dissolves them as fast
as they are issued. This makes the
third injunction that McPha,ren has
given on this question, and two have
been dissolved by the higher court. "
The Age also OF Clinton, has this
reliable information: ut was
learned that a second train did leave
Rock Island over the c., B e. Q.
Friday night and proceeded as far as
Denrock, when they we're ordered
back by the division superintendent.
On this train, travelling men, who
passed it. say we're over so men.
Had it reached Fulton it is safe to
say there would have been a riot, the
like of which has never been known
in this neck o. the woods"
The second train never left RICK
Island, but it got all ready to. and was
abandoned when it was learned that
another injunction had been served.
Rock Island people do not defy in
functions, but when they hear tina,
the men and arms of another state
are holding their fello Wtow nsmen in
cars they are bound to 60 to their
relief. Had the second expedition
left Rock Island it would have been
prepared for trouble. The men on
the first train were unarm d, as they
went on q peace mission.
However. the people here are
waiting to learn what Gov. Tanner
propos es to do, both as to the pres
ent military antics of Fulton citizens
aud as to the bringing of Iowa arms
into Illinois last Friday night.

Under the law of California a wife
can be compelled to support her hus-
band, says the Boston Wonran's Jour
nal. This point was established re-
Gently by a decision rendered by Justice
Temple, of the supreme court, con-
Cured nm by Justice Henshaw and Van
Fleet and Chief Justice Beatty. The
circumstances ON which this decision
was made were peculiar.
I'm Los Angeles county there 1--we an
aged couple named Livingston The
wife, Mrs. Mary A. Livingston, has
reached the mature age of 70 years, and
her husband, Samuel w, is even older
than his wife. In fact, he is so aged
as to be infirun and unable to support
himself. Some time ago The wife de-
serted her husband, and he was left as
helpless as @ baby. In their more pros
perous days the wife alwayscarried the
handbook, and. Furthermore. she had
money in her OWL right.
After the old woman deserted the old
man he sued her for maintenance, and
won the snit. the superior court of
Los Angeles county ordering Mrs Liv.
ingston to pay her husband monthly
allowance of $24. She at once trans
ferred all of her property 10 her dangh-
ter, so as to avoid the execution OF tho
order. She was cited to appear and
show cause why she should not be pun
ished for contempt The contempt
proceedings resulted in her being com.
mitted to prison until such tins as
she would comply with the order OF the
court. From that Judgment she APP
pealed to the supreme court. and che

'Gradually. but steadily, the trouble grew
and spread until my entire body was in

changed doctors. No relief came, and we
changed again. We tried nearly all of the
local physicians, and was taken away TO the

Marriage in India

The result of Mrs F. A Steeps per-
sona1 observation rs that marriages in
India are singularly happy. There
are fewer cases of unl1indneSs and
violence than in Great Britain. The
do~yry system. she AYERS. is a great
protection TO the wife. Every bride
takes her husband dowry, which Is a
kind of marriage settlement against
unkindness. If she is badly treated
and thus compelled TO go back to her
fathers house, the husband has TO re
turn her dowry; probably he has spent
it. and, as II is not often convenient for
him to refund the money, he takes care
to treat his wife well. II think that a
similar system here would be a good
thing" saws thelady. frankly.
