In every city and large town In the
United States the Sister OF Charity has
become a familiar object. The Catholic
Sisters-sweet messengers of charity,
and interchangeable in their
labors-move quietl y and swiftly in and
out among the people, receiving, dis
pensing, assisting and comforting.
Neither heat nor cold, fatigue or danger,
deter them from their errands Of mercy.
They are to be found in palace and
howell; in the boulevard and brothel.
Nothing daunts them. Nothing dis
courages them. Vast institutions Of
refuge for the homeless and hopeless
have arisen in every city by their tire
less labors.
ny no means the least service they
render helpless humanity is their dis
pensation Of medicine. Their experience
among the sick, and their anxiety to be
Of assistance to them, soon lead them to

Belle plaine, Dec. 2s.-Mrs. Rose
Guthrie, of this city, committed suicide
some time yesterday afternoon in her
residence. On the goth of the month her
husband, f'rank Guthrie. began an ac-
ton for divorce, alleging infidelity as a
cause of action. His attorney, Thomas
IL. Miner. tried to get her to accept
services of the original notice. but She
refused and made threats that rather
than consent in any manner to di-.
vorce She would end her life, and in the
meantime procured carbolic acid for the.
purpose which she showed to Mr.. Mill
her prior to the time she ended her life.
She was persuaded not to be rash or do
SO foolish thing. but the sequel shows
that she meant to commit the act, tho
she did not use the acid. Yesterday Mr.
Miner sent the deputy sheriff, Guss
Deer, to her residence to get her to &C
iscept service of notice. When he tried to
ls5etin he found the windows and doors
| locked and all quiet. He procured a key
| and entered the house thru a rear door.

found her lying dead with a 32-caliber
revolver on her breast. She had laid
Gown on the bed, placed the revolver in
her mouth and fired the shot that caused
instant death. Her body was still warm,
which would indicate the fatal shot was
fired some time after noon. An inquest

Legality of Oskaloosa's Franchise
Ordinance May BE Questioned.

Oskaloosa, Dec. 2S.--SNhat appears to
be serious, if not a fatal mistake in
the submission of the propositions a i
the recent election for the franchise of.
the street railway and electric light
ordinances is being discussed by attor-5
neys and others. Code section 1077,
which provides for the manner of reg
istration of voters, was amended by the
last legislature and it seems that the
new provisions OF the law were over
looked
The section as amended reads:
Sec. 1877. The registers shall meet
on the second Thursday prior TO any
general, CITY OR SPECIAL election,
at the usual voting place in the pre-
cinct in which they have been APP
pointed. and shall hold continuous
sessions for two consecutive days from
s o'clock in the forenoon until o'clock
in the afternoon. and in presidential
years such sessions shall be held for
three days" etc.
The words above capitalized are
those that were added by the last Iegis-
failure. Prior to this change but one
days registration was necessary In
city and special elections. and that was
on the Saturday before election, but
the new law makes the same reglstra-
ton necessary for city or specia
election as for a general election, and
the regi strars should therefore have
been in session on December s, and 8
as we'll as on December 10, which was
the only day they We're in session.

the action Of the city in having but on

by majority of all the voters in tn
