The Irl X. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the. scien-
tific causes upon which the Rev. Fri
r. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
storm and weather, it is remarkable
fact that specific warnings of every
great storm, flood, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed in
hi now famous almanac for many
years. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction of Gal
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac,
as one of disaster by storm along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far
the finest, most complete and beauti-
full yet published, is now ready. This
remarkable book of near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated with
charts and halftone engravings, goes
as premium 10 every subscriber who
pays one dollar year for Prof. Hicks
journal, Word and Works. The AL.
manac alone is sent prepaid for only
25c. Order from WORD AND WORKS

Telegraphic Matters of Interest to Our
Own People.
Happenings Throughout the State Re-
corded for the Benefit of the Read
ers of This Paper.

Sigourney, Ia, Dec. ia jury has
been secured for the trial in the dis
trict court of Mrs. Charles Kuhn, aged
10, accused of poisoning her husband.
On the night of Sept. 4, 1900, Kuhn
and his wife drove from their home in
Delta to the town of Watcher. about
seven miles distant. Wilhelm Watcher
Kuhn bought some sausage and beer to
eat and drink on the way home. The
defendant says that they ate the sau-
sage and drank two bottles of the beer,
and that Immediately after taking the
second bottle of beer Kuhn was taken
with severe pains and cramping.
When near Delta he grew much
worse, and they stopped in front OF the
house of Wesley Snider and called to
him to come out. Snider came out
to the buggy and, according to his
story, Kuhn said: II am dying, | am
dying; she has poisoned me. Snider." y
Snider got into the buggy with them
and drove to a doctors house. Kuhn
was in great agony, and kept repeat
ing that his wife had poisoned him.
BY the time a doctor was found
Kuhn was dead He was taken to his
home and an autopsy was held. The
stomach was removed, and together
with the emptied beer bottles was sent
to the state chemist for analysis. The
chemist found strychnine in the stom-
ach and in the small quantity of beer
remaining in one of the bottles.

Alleged to Have Been Discovered by Rail-
way Detectives in Iowa.

Grinnell. Ia, Dec. 1.-THE private

to have been the 'fence" through
whose means the stolen property was
disposed of has been arrested, and is
being held for examination. The de-
tectives feel confident that they are on
the verge of unearthing one of the big
gest schemes of operation in the Grim
