A Cruel Joke.

A Yale Summit girl recently played a
cruel joke on her mother, and this is
how 1t happened: She accidentally
found love letter that her father had
written to her mother in the halycon
days of their courtship. She read the
letter to her mother, substituting her
own name and that of her lover. The
mother raved with anger and stamped
her foot in disgust, forbidding her
daughter to have anything to do with
man who would write such nonsen-
steal stuff to girl. The girl then gave
the letter to her mother to read, and
the house became SO suddenly quiet
that she could hear the cat winking in
the back yards Salisbury Press.

A SEVERE BLOW.
by a Decision of the Supreme Court
Municipal Ownership in Iowa
Il Practically Impossible.

The supreme court has handed down
decision in the Des Moines munici-
pa. electric light case, which is consid-
cred by municipal-ownership advo-
Gates a severe blow to their hopes in
this state. The city of Des Moines
contracted for the building of a mu-
nicipal electric light plant and was en-
Joined against carrying out the con-
tract, which anticipated the revenues,
providing that payments should be
made each year until the plant was
paid for, when it should become city
property. The payments We're no
larger than the amount the city had
previously paid for light. The sus
preme court, however, holds that
city cannot anticipate its revenues in
this way to provide plant if the total
of anticipated liability places the
debt above the constitutional limit,
which it did in this case. The contract
was especially drawn to avoid this
constitutional prohibition, and mu-
nicipal ownership advocates say the
decision will practically make mu--
nicipal ownership of utilities in Iowa
impossible unless the constitution can
be changed

UNDER ARREST.
"Divine Healer" James and Mrs.
Yates Indicted for AIanslaugL-
ter Because of a Death.

Mrs. P. B. Yates, of Tabor, against
whom the grand jury in Council Bluffs
returned an Indictment for manslaugh-
ter in connection with the death of
her daughter Ethel in Council Bluffs
January 5, was arrested at her home
and placed in Jail in Council Bluffs to
await bond in the sum of $4,000.
"Divine Healer" James, of South
Omaha, indicted with Mrs. Yates, has
disappeared. A deputy called at his
house, but James had just been "called
out" and has since remained away.
He has retained attorneys to defend
him, and will not go to Iowa without
lequisition papers. His defense is
that he cannot be taken out of the
state for an alleged crime committed
in another state. His attorneys also
claim that if an Indictment had beef
returned in Nebraska it would ha&
been for practicing without license
instead of for manslaughter.

PRIEST FOUND DEAD.
Father Dan o'sulIivan TnIis Down
Stone Steps and Freezes
to Death

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 29.-Father Dan
DSullivan, assistant rector of the
church of Immaculate Conception, the
largest Catholic church in this city,
was found dead in the rear of the rec
tory by the church sexton about six
a. m. He was lying in pool of blood,
with triangular cash cut in the back of
his head. The supposition is that he
went out in the night and fell from the
steps leading from the rear of the rec
tory, and, striking his head on the stone
steps. was rendered unconscious and
froze to death. His face was frozen
when he was found. The last seen of
him was about nine o'clock at night.
He had on his clothes but was in his
shirt sleeves, and had his money, watch
and papers in his pockets undisturbed
when discovered. He was about so
years old and was we'll known in Cath
ulic circles

Probably Perisbed

Philadelphia, Jan. 29.-The Angora
Manufacturing companys plant was
destroyed by fire Friday night and one
OF the employees, Lizzie Blackburn,
aged II years, is missing. Her body
is believed to be in the ruins. The fire
is believed to have originated from an
overheated bearing. The flames spread
rapidly, and soon the entire mill, a
four-story brick structure, was leveled
to the ground. The male employees,
most of whom worked on the first
floor, escaped without difficulty, but
there was panic among the women
and girls. Many of them were injured
by jumping from the windows and
others were severely burned. The loss
is about S15O,OOO.

Securing Recruits.

One afternoon In December tw,
