Ottumwa, June 16.-Mayor Phillips of
this city thinks his wifes affections are
worth8in the neighborhood of 5000, and
by his attorneys, Blake & Hall, has filed
a petition in the Poweshiek district
court at AIontezuma asking judgment
against George NJ. Spooner Of Grinnell,
for that amount and alleging as a cause
of action that Spooner did debauch his
wife, thereby alternating her affections
from the mayor. her lawful husband
Wednesday the case against Spooner
charging him with improper use of the
mails in writing letters to Mrs. Phillips
making an appointment With her in
case the mayor should leave town, was
dismissed for want of evidence showing
that the letter in question had been
transmitted thru the mails. Following
the dismissal of the case the mayor con-
suited Blake & Hall With the result that
the damage suit was filed.
PHILIPPE and his wife dosnot enjoy the
fullest respect of this community, hav-
ing already aired their domestic troubles
in public. The Grinnel man. however.
has evidently got himself into plenty of
trouble. for Phillips claims to have in
his possession a sixteen-page letter

Mckinlcy's Position Towards tho
Beers Wall Amect That In Iowa.
Davenport, June lex Mayor e. A.
Ficke dictated the following statement
of the sentiment OF the large German
population Of Davenport and the river
counties Of Iowa:
The future action of the Germans
vote will depend more upon the plat
form which the republican party adopts
than upon the candidate which 1t nomi-
mates. Opposition to Mckinley among
the Germans arises partly from his
seeming sympathy with England in the
Boer war and partly from his indeci-
sion on the Philippine question:. But if
the national platform makes it clear
that the republican party is not in SYM
patty with England in that war, and
that it does not favor the annexation of
the Philippines. the Germans will over
look the fact that Mckinley is more Of
"a politician than statesman.
The Germans are unalterably ops
posed to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. Bryan is the personifcation
of free coinage. II he is nominated on
q free coinage platform, the pill, even
IL sugar-coated by prof. oer and anti
expansion resolutions, will be found too
!nauseating dose for the German pail
ate
Should the republican party, how
ever, nominate Mckinley and fail to
adopt satisfactory resolutions on the
iBoar and expansion questions. there is
likely to be considerable German de-
tfectiOn,

Five cents for a Neck shave.

Sioux City. June 16.-The BARRIERS at
Sioux City are very much at outs with
some of the employers over the ques-
ton of charging for neck shave. The
BARRIERS union recently adopted rule
that cents should be charged for
shaving the neck. Heretofore patrons
of the tonsorial parlors had been used
to enjoying the luxury of a neck shave
without expense. A number Of the best
shops baked at this rule, and refused
to assess the extra tax on their patrons
for the three or four strokes Of the raz-
or which sweep the hair off a mans
neck. Some of the smaller shops have
called upon the union to take action
and call out the BARRIERS in the shops
which had refused to respect the order.
Men who depend upon the barber shops
to keep their faces in presentable con-
5dition are awaiting further develop
ments with some interest. The strike
may turn up any dav.
