Church Notes.

The usual services will be held at the
court house next Lordsday both morn
ing and evening by the Christian church.
The evening services will begin at
TOO o'clock instead of 7:30 as formerly.
The Young Peoples meeting at 600
o'clock. This it is thought will be a
better arrangement as church goers usu-
ally are not as comfortably seated around
the warm Preside at $50 az at 7:30 and
this will cause all to be at home by 500
o'clock in the evening.
The children of the Christian Sunday
school will give their program on Satur-
day night, Christmas eve.
On New Years morning at the court
house the members of the Christian
church will hold their rally services and
it is expected that every member of the
church will be present at that service.

Goes Free.

AL w. Dickerson, cashier of the de-
funct Cass county bank at Atlantic, is
now free man.
He was, upon being released from the
penitentiary, re-arrested week ago
Sunday at Ft. Madison upon another
charge brought by the grand jury.
At Atlantic Judge Macy heard the
plea for dismissal and gave answer that
he had letter from Judge Thornell,
the presiding judge when Dickerson
plead guilty, that the punishment be-
cause of his pleading guilty, would be
sufficient, as was agreed to by the court
and prosecuting attorneys at the time
nearly five years ago.

THE TRAGEDY AT COON RAPIDS.
Mrs. Shane Acquitted by the Coro.
ner's Jury.

Coon Rapids, Dec Especial to the
State Register: At 7:30 Saturday even
ing the town was startled by the report
that A. B. Carver, an inoffensive old
man, had been shot and instantly killed,
under peculiar circumstances, at the
residence of w. FL. Shane, where he had
gone in search of one Clearwater, whom
he thought was there. His loud and
continued knocking frightened Mrs.
Shane, and she demanded to know who
was there. She got no reply. The
knocking being continued, the children
became frightened and began to cry.
The mother again demanded who was
there and what was wanted or she would
get the gun, and still no reply.
She secured the frightened children in
another part of the house, got the shot
gun, loaded it, and returned to the door
and demanded that the intruder leave or
she would shoot. Still receiving no re.
ply Gas he was somewhat deaf, in her
frenzy she leveled the gun intending to
shoot above the door, but in her fright
and haste aimed about four and one
half feet from the floor and fired, the
shot tearing hole through the door an
inch in diameter, and entering the body
of Mr.. Carver just above the left breast
severing the arteries above the heart.
He walked about twenty feet from the
door and fell dead
She, hearing no further noise, looked
out of the window and, seeing his
PROSTATE form, became frightened at
what she had done, and secured the
children and fled to neighbours and
recited what had happened. When
assistance arrived it was found that he
had died almost instantly. Mrs. Shane
was forced to the act by the constant
fear in which she has been compelled to
live for the past two weeks, Mr.. Shanes
life being threatened aud providers seen
around the premises and the placing of
strychnine in the pump on Tuesday
night last. Mrs. Shane is now suffering
from nervous prostration and is under
the care of doctor.
The inquest was held Sunday at 10
o'clock and resulted in verdict that
"said A. B. Carver came to his death on
the 10th day of December, 1898, by a
shotgun wound fired by Mrs. Howord
Shane as warning to scare some un-
known person from her house and
resulting in the accidental death of said
A. B. Carver, not with felonious intent"

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that

CERvERA GOES TO CHURCH.
Annapolis Crowded with People Anxious
to See Him.

Annapolis. Md. July 17.-Maryland's
ancient capital was crowded to-day
with curiosity-seekers, who came from
Baltimore, Washington and elsewhere
by rail and by water In the hope OF
getting a peep at Admiral Cervera and
the men who fought and lost in the
great naval battle off Santiago. Those
who reached here early in the morning
were rewarded for their trouble. as
nearly all the prisoners, including the
admiral. attended divine services AT St
Nary's Roman Catholic church, whsre
they offered up thanks for their de-
liverance from the fate h a overlook
so many of their men who fell.
The church, which Is the only one Of
the Catholic denomination in Annapo-
lie. is one of the landmarks of the city
and embraces I'm It's membership some
of the most prominent and aristocratic
of Annapolis people. 1t is conductei
by the ~Redemptorist brothers, is a
handsome structure and Is thought to
possess one of the handsomest interiors
OF any religious edifice in the state.
This mornings services were conducted
by Brother John, one of the members
of the order of Redemptists, in the pres
ence of a congregation which taxed the
edihce to it's utmost. Probably no SER
vice held within its walls for many
years possessed so great an interest o.
made a more profound impression upon
those who attended IL.
At the close Of the services the off,
GERS returned to the naval academy
and spent the balance of the day n
strolling about the grounds or lounging
on the broad piazzas which surround
most of the buildings in which he
prisoners are quartered. They are rap
idly becoming accustomed to their sur
%roundings and seem cheerful and con-
tented. Ample provision has been
made for their comfort. their food Is
plentiful and Of the best quality, and
clothes will be provided for such as
viii accept.
Captain Eulate Of the Viscaya Is the
only one of the officers who has thus
far refused to sign the parole pledge.
His reasons for II are hat Admiral
Cervera was only required to give q
verbal promise and hat his CEulate's)
rank entities him TO the same privilege.
The authorities here ave no doubt that
the matter will be amicably arranged
and that the scruples of the gallant
officer may be overcome.
Admiral CerVera has positively declined
10 grant any newspaper interviews. He
has written a note stating that while he
appreciates the honor of being asked for
his views. stlll he must decline 10 give
them. To Mr.. De Barritt. a Spanish
American citizen. he said to-day that he
could not meet the gentlemen Of the press
In their representative capacity. What
has been done is history, he says, and
now he is under some rules OF restraint
and could not speak. Tie expressed him
self as appreciative of the courtesies
shown him. Some OF the Spanish officers
thought they could mail their letters with
out censorship and \ number were drop
ped into the city boxes to-day. They were
returned to the academy authorities for

FELL DOWN AN OPEN HATCH.
Death of Professor Beals OF the univer-
sity Of Washington.

Seattle. July 17.-Arthur III. Beals.
professor of philosophy In the niver
sity Of Washington, was killed to-
night by falling through an open hatch
on the steamer Arizona. His compan-
ion, f. b. Mallory. who fell at the same
time, was seriously injured. The Arr
roma, which was recently purchased at
Tacoma by the government for a
transport ship, was thrown open to-
day to the public, a small admission
being charged for the benefit OF the
local Red Cross society. A large
crowd was on the vessel. but no one
saw Beals and Mallory fall. 1t is
thought that while cropping their way
i'm the dark between decks they stepped
into the open hatch.
For some time Beals' identity could
not be determined. but it was finally
established by letters found on his
body. He formerly lived in Boston,
Mass.
