MRS. ROBINSON HOME
The Child Bride Who Flew to
Omaha Brought Back.
SHE SAYS SHE WILL co AGAIN.
Her Idea lie That Her Folks Have
Spent Good Money for Nothing in
Bringing Her Back-Her Husband
May Also Go West.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Mrs. Alfred Robinson is at home.
Mrs. Robinson is the young married
woman, 16 years of age, who after a
honeymoon of three days at her home
in this city last week, suddenly disap-
peared on Thursday and failedt to leave
her address with Mr.. Robinson.
1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Robinson went to Omaha, and from
there wrote to her mother, Mrs. Aman-
da Yates, of Central addition, telling
her of her whereabouts and that she
was intending to continue her trip to
Gillette, Wyoming, where she had
been offered a position and transpor-
tation from Omaha
Mrs. Yates, accompanied by Mr..
Robinson, the short time groom, left
Immediately for Omaha, and as the
sequel of the daughters flight now
proves, the searching party stepped
off the train directly in the presence
of Mrs. Robinson, who, it seems, was
more surprised than delighted. Mrs.
Robinson had at first made her head
quarters at the Windsor hotel, but
had soon afterwards obtained en-
ployment in German restaurant
near the hotel.
Sunday morning when her folks ar
rived in Omaha she had decided to go
down to the depot and see whether
her pass to Gillette had come or not,
and she was proceeding on this ro-
mantle errand when her husband and
mother alighted from the train. The
meeting was so sudden that it would
ordinarily have had some sensational
embellishments. but the situation
seems to have been entirely a matter
of-fact one. The young girl was en-
treated to return home, and she con-
sented reluctantly, and arrived as al
ready stated.
Her spirit, however, still longs for
a breath from the sand deserts of Wy
oming, for she now declares that she
will run away again. She claims that
she is not satisfied with her domestic
selection. She says that her folks
nave spent their money foolishly in
chasing after her. She had contem-
plated the trip before her marriage.
To add to the sensation of the mat
ter Mr. Robinson, it is understood, will
also pack his trunk and HE himself
to the west, intending to go some
where into the Rocky mountain coun-
try. Whether Mrs. Robinson will ac-
company him remains to be seen, but
as she has expressed dislike for his
company it is probable that two
trains will carry them into the trans
Missouri region.

this campaign is well illustrated in the
following anecdote.
"A Swedish American had secured a
position on the railroad as brakeman
on passenger train. He had some
dlfflculty in learning the names of the
statlons but knew what his duty was.
Usually the conductor. when nearing
a station. would stand in one end of
the car and call out the name Of the
town which the train was approaching
after this manner, Kan-ka-kee, Kan
ka-kee, and the brakeman would poke
his head in the door at the other end
of the car and say: 'Yous the same
ting hyar.' So it is with democracy
Bryan makes an assertion and the po-
iltlclans say, Just the same thing
here"
Bryan says Doodle" and up pops
Croker, Altgeld, Pitchfork Tillman ct
al with the same war cry"
One more factory at the end of the
car line-this is the Ottumwa Box Car
Loader Plant started in the month of
July. 1900, and employing fifty men.
Fifty and $50 makes TAO men working
in these four institutions who were
not engaged four years ago. This is
only one town in many hundred in this
state as well as many thousand in the
United States that has been touched
by prosperity. l have heard of two
persons that claim that times are no
better than four years ago. One OF
these fellows lives in our city and is
in the business loan scalper, makes
loans on chattels and he says times
are really worse than four years ago
so he is going to vote for Bryan to
get even. The other chap is Bryan
himself. One of the Chicago papers
in speaking of this recently said: "If
Bryan would only shut his mouth and
give his eyes fair show, he could not
help seeing prosperity on every hand
Here is a financial puzzle desire
to leave for my democratic friends to
solve. In the month. of September,
1896, the banks of Ottumwa had de-
posits subject to withdrawal at any
time by depositors, Of $1,336,517.22
and in October, 1900, the deposits
amounted to $2,7S4,33O62, a gain of
more than double the amount in 1896.
By the way, strange as 1t may seem,
new savings bank was organized in
this city during January, 1893, the de-
posits of which bank at the close of
business October %, 1900, amounted
to $244,60O. For the benefit of any
who may be unable to give good rea-
sons for the increase in deposits re-
ferred to would suggest that you con.
suit my friend, J. w. Rogers, cashier
Of the Malta National bank. Come
over and We'll make tour of the bal
ance of factories after the election.

Second Crop Potatoes.

William Satchel, who lives on Penn
sylvania avenue, is enjoying the dis
tinction of having raised two crops Of
EARLY Rose potatoes this season. Sam
pies of the potatoes are shown at the
Courier Office today were large, fine
looking specimens. The raising of
this second crop was not premeditat-
ed on the part Of Mr.. Satchel. He had
left some of the first crop in the
ground, and yielding to the productive
ness of Iowa soil they proceeded to re-
produce themselves many fold.

INTERNAL REVENUE MATTERS.
Questions Concerning the Refunding
of Revenue Taxes.

G. w. Wilson, commissioner of In
ternal revenues, has just issued in one
of the department bulletins. a letter
addressed by him to James D. Gill,
collector at Boston, setting forth that
claims made for the refunding of taxes
must be made within two years from
the time of payment of the same. In
the case of legacy taxes the right of
action accrues at the time the taxes
are paid, and net at the time any de-
cision may have been made by the
courts, as these may be dates widely
separated.
The bulletin also gives instruction
to deputies by which they are obliged
to enter on record the dates on which
they receive claims for refunding of
taxes.

Hedger, who claims to be real estate
agent, were discharged by Justice

proceeding against him a second time.
Schwalb claimed to have purchased a
railroad bond for 500 from the defend
ants and then discovered that the bond

Eldon bank in 1898. and was subse-
quently released from custody.
