ciarinda Farmer Suicides.

Clarinda, March civilian F.
Whitney, farmer living four and
one-half miles west of Clarinda, shot
and killed himself Saturday afternoon
for no known reason. He was aged
about 40 years, was a well-to-do far
mer, owning his own farm of one hun
dred acres, and has always been con-
1sidered contented and of sound mind.
The theory of temporary alteration
tan hardly be held in this case, as he
cleaned up his revolver on Friday
night, telling his wife he was going to
! kill some wolves. The tragedy was
not accidental, either. as the ball en-
tered squarely in the center of his
forehead, no doubt killing him instant

body was found lying at corner of
| the barn by his children about 6
O'Clock in the evening.

The extent of the money order

the public generally. The total of the
transactions for the year ending De.

The exact figures being $S26,2S5.20.

1t will be seen that the Ottumwa
office issued 10,539 domestic orders
and 201 international orders That it
paid 1859 domestic orders and fifty
international orders. That the remit
tances from the small surrounding
money order offices deposited with
the Ottumwa postmaster, amounted
to$345.2S194. The total transactions
for the year were largely in excess OF
any previous year in the history of the
Ottumwa Office
Very Few Mistakes.
The money order business at the
Ottumwa postoffice is directly in
charge of Money Order Clerk E. w.
Lowenberg, than whom there is not
in the postoffice service a more
faithful, efficient and accurate EN-,
loye. 1t is remarkable fact that in
the money order transactions of the
Ottumwa Office last year, aggregatins
as they did nearly S1,000,000 in cash
handled, but two errors occurred. one
being debit error of 80 cents and the
other credit error of 25 cents, max
| ing a net error if cents. We do not
believe that there is postoffice in the
United States that can beat this rec
ord. In addition to the hours when
the regular money order department
of the Ottumwa postof1ice is kept open
viz: from a. m. to p m. money or
ders were also sold and paid at the
night window from to II p, m. This
addition to the service was made b.
Postmaster Lee about one year ago
and has proven to be of great conven
fence, especially to the travelling pub
lie. Travelling men arriving in thu
city on night trains can not only Sc
cure their mail, buy stamps and regis
ter letters. up to IL o'clock p. m, bu
can also buy and cash money orders.

was outside the Brooklyn during this
time, and along at the time the Wis
caya sheered inside and kept about
abreast of us until we overhauled her
and went ahead until the Colon finally
turned inshore and hauled down her
flag. The Texas then Joined the rest
of the ships at the prize and renamed

Mr.. Raynor questioned the witness as
to the stay Of the flying squadron at
Cienfuegos. The latter said he had
not considered that they maintained a
blockade there. I'VE were merely
laying off the port" he said, land at
night anything could. have passed in
so far as we were concerned without
being seen"
He admitted that the Dupont and the
Castine had been kept inside the line,
at night, but that he had not been
able to see them.
Mr.. Raynor then undertook to COM
pare the estimate of the distances
which Commodore Schley's fleet went
to the east and west of Santiago har-
Dor, with that of Capt Folger.
Mr.. Hanna suggested that the prac-
tiee of quoting from the testimony Of
former witnesses, while not objection
able from a legal point of view, was
calculated to produce delay and there
fore was not desirable. When Mr.
Hanna had taken his seat, Mr.. Ray
nor replied, referring to Mr.. Hanna as
His learned and solemn friend" This
Characterization brought Capt. Lemley
to his feet.
This" he said, 'is eminently i'm
proper. All these left-handed compli-
ments thrown around are entirely I'M
usual"
Mr. Raynor-"I withdraw it."
Mr. Hanna-"It did not make me feel
solemn
Mr. Raynor-'I would not object to
your calling me solemn"
Judge Lemley-'You are not solemn,
I call you funny" Qaughter)
Mr.. Raynor-"I don't call you at all
funny" Qaughter)
Admiral Dewey, speaking for the
court, then said that as there were no
legal obstacles in the way of putting
the question, it could be asked. Lieut..
Bristol said in response, Il do not
agree with Capt. Folger as regards the
facts that the ships were nearer in at
night than they were in the daytime,
because it is my firm recollection now
that they were farther out at night
than they were in daytime. The revo-
buttons according to that give the ship
a certain speed which would be greater
than the distance given by Capt. Fol-
ger, because we also stated in that log
we steamed for two hours and turned
first to the east and then to the west"
The witness had not concluded his
testimony when the court, at D. m.
adjourned for the day. ..-.
