astical dignity by saying: "The Lord
sends this commiss ion to you, President
Lincoln." perhaps so," he replied, "but
isn't 1t strange that he should send his
message by the way Of Chicago" To
another delegation urging immediate
action he said; ST you call the tail OF

have?" "Five," replied the spokesman.

SEEKS $4,000 ALlM0NY
GRIEVANCES OF MRS. ANNA MONS,
THE WIFE OF A SOUTH-SIDER.
He Is a Saloon Keeper worth $4,000
Says He Has Threat
ened Her Life.

Sunday night Mrs. Anna Mohs, wife of
wealthy saloon keeper at I'LL Shelby street.
complained to the police that her husband
had driven her from home and had threat
ened her life. The incident created good
deal of excitement around Fountain Square,
where the Mohs are well known. Later ii
the evening Mohs went to the police station
and was arrested on the charge of being
drunk and disturbing the peace. Yesterday
evening Mrs. Mohs brought a suit for dl-
vorce from her husband and asks the court
to grant her alimony in the sum of $4,000
The complaint shows that the Mohs were
married in 1873 and have nine children living
The plaintiff makes numerous charges of
ill treatment. She says her husband began
TO abuse her fifteen years ago. Eleven years
ago, she AYERS, he tried to take her life and
she left his home. He came to her shortly
afterward, she says, and induced her to re-
turn to him, promising to treat her kindly.
She says he failed to keep his promise, and
on numerous occasions she had to leave
home hurriedly to escape his violence. 1t is
charged that Mohs told their smaller chill
dren that he intended killing their mother.
Mrs Mohs says the children have been COM
PEELED to work out in order to support them
selves and their mother, although MohS is
worth at least $4,000. She AYERS that her
husband has compelled her to hang paper"
and prepare his houses for tenants
Mrs. Mohs says that when she and her
husband were married they had nothing,
but by hard labor they have accumulated a
fortune. Her husband, she says, has told
her she would never get any of his property
and has threatened if she attempted to Sc
cure any part of his wealth by legal pro-
ceedings to convert the entire estate into
cash and place the money outside the juris-
diction of the court. Mrs. MohS asks for
an order restraining her husband from dis
posing of his property while the suit for di-
Vorce is pending. She further claims that
Mohs had threatened to follow her and take
her life, and requests the court to restrain
him from in any way annoying her.
Dora Cocherl, in the Superior Court, de-
mands a divorce from William S. Cocherl,
to whom she was married in 1888. She says
they separated in November, 1892, when her
husband was sent to the penitentiary for
fourteen years on the charge of criminal
assault. They have one daughter, Florence
Cocherl, and the mother asks for the
custody of the child.

DOG DAYS ADVICE.
Some Issued to HOLSTERS by the State
Health Board.

Circulars have been issued by the State
Board of Health to the local health board
concerning the matter of preserving public
health during the dog days" The circu-
lars read as follows:
from all parts of the State show, as COM
pared with June, the following condition

Increased-Typhoid, dysentery, cholera in

1T is observed that the diseases which
have increased are almost all water borne.
In the warm months we drink more water
and fermentation. putrefaction and decay
are increased. Thus ii is water borne dis

of the diseases which have decreased are
known as house diseases, due principally
to bad ventilation. Living out of doors as
benefits of pure air.
Hog cholera is reported as being very
prevalent in Fulton county, and at present
in Clay. Floyd, Ripley, Wabash. Wells and
Whitley. Anthrax reported from Floyd
county-twenty cases in milk cows.
There is more typhoid in Indiana in
August September and October than in
other months. We would do wisely to take
extra precautions against this disease at
this time. Typhoid is usually acquired by
drinking water containing typhoid germs.
Prudence, therefore, dictates that all
picion. should be boiled before using and
cooled in a closed vessel. The germs of
typhoid are known to be in the bowel dis
charges and urine of those sick with the
disease. sAll typhoid excreta should be dis
infected and then buried All articles of
clothing soiIed by a typhoid patient should
be disinfected. Typhoid is sometimes spread

THE PENALTY OF BORROWING
Mrs. Jennie James's Experience with
ChatteI Loan Men.

Hyam Cohen, pawn broker at 81 South
Illinois street, and Ellis MCGOWAN, a train
caller at the Union Station, were joint de-
PENDANTS in a replevin suit before Justice
of the Peace Sears yesterday. They did not
allow the case to come to trial, however
but turned over jewelry valued at $3.50 to
the plaintiff. A long story is developed, if
what Mrs. Jennie James, who keeps a
boarding house on North Alabama street.
and who was plaintiff in the case yester-
day. says is true.
In 1898 she took valuable watch and
chain. four rings and one breast pin to
Cohen, from whom she received $S5, and
agreed to reclaim the articles, and pay in
terest on the money received, until such a
time Since that time she has paid SIS inter-
est, but In May, 1897, when, through Nc
Cowan, she attempted to reclaim the ar
ticles, $50 was demanded. To raise this
amount she mortgaged everything she pos
sessed 10 the Central Loan Company and
obtained the necessary money This she
claims to have handed to MCGOWAN who
was to reclaim her valuables. For some
reason she failed to get the jewelry Nc
Cowan said because Cohen demanded a
greater sum, while Cohen claims that the
articles were turned over to MCGOWAN.
The suit yesterday was the result, and
the articles appeared from a source not
made known. This, however, was only one
phase of the case. The Central Loan Com
pany, from whom Mrs. James received the
their mortgage to Aufderheide & Zumphe
who after a short period threatened fore
closure. When this action was learned by
Mrs. JameS'S attorney he at once brought
suit against the Central Loan Company and
Aufderheide & Zumphe in Justice Martins
court, Haughville for conspiracy, upon the
GROUNDS that usurious rates of interest have
been demanded and paid. This suit is still
pending.

The DeacOnesses Hold the Last of
Their Meetings.

1t was a sort of 'bue Monday at
Acton camp yesterday. There was the
usual apathy that characterizes the day fol-
lowing Sunday Besides, the season of pref
ty weather was broken, and the rain came
down hard most of the day. Camping in the
woods in sunshiny weather is all very de-
lightful, but when the clouds gather and
the rains descend, and descend like they do
in camp meeting one is tempted to believe
that there is no place like home. The camp
was sloppy, and clammy, and cold. Femi-
ninity went about in bedraggled skirts and
hair out of curl. The cottages, that is most
of them, were cherries, and the tabernacle
was disagreeably exposed to the east wind.
Many of the campers managed to get
through the day by the assistance of maya
zines books and fancy work and also. as
one man said. in practing how to look
pleasant.
Those, however, who heard the deacon
esses tell of the children in tenements who
never see the fields or streams felt that
life in even rainy camp was not half bad.
The deaconesses themselves were the one
bright spot in the dull horizon. They are
all used to such weather, used to smiling
under all circumstances, and they were not
one whit less cheerful than when the sun
snone and the birds sang during the first
days Of their assembly They talked with the
same earnestness, they sang with the same
enthusiasm. and they were just as pleasant
as though the skies were bright.
During the morning the deaconesses
talked about hospital work. DR.. H. c.
Weakey, of Cincinnati, gave graphic de-
scription of the Deaconess Hospital Allie
Pfrimmer. of Omaha. spoke on soul winning
in hospitals; Mrs. Ida Griffing, of Terre
Haute, read a paper entitled Il Was Sick
and Ye Visited Me- Rev c. Colder of Gin
cinnati, spoke on the distinctive features of
the German work and the meeting closed
with an experience meeting, led by Clara
Close of Cincinnati
The afternoon programme was long one
but interesting. Miss Isabelle A. Reeves, OF
Evanston, ILL.,, told of the homeless aged;
and John p. Gavit, of Chicago, stirred up a
lively discussion on settlement work. Mr.
Gavit carries on his labors in the Seven
teenth ward in Chicago, where there are
thirty-eight different nationalities repre-
sented and his experiences have led him to
some interesting conclusions on social ques-
tons. Following the debate on settlement
work. Lulu l.. Knowlton, corresponding
secretary of the Deaconess Home, at Chi
cago, introduced the general subject of chill
