DOMESTIC TROUBLES.
Said TO Be Brewing in & Certain OF
tunWa Home.


From Mondays Daily.l
Judging from papers on file at the
Office of Justice j. A. Ballard, troubles
are brewing in the household of Geo.
Murray. Yesterday, it is said, there
was a word fight between the two, the
result of which was that today Mrs.
Murray consulted Attorney B. w.
Scott and later filed papers before
Justice Ballard charging her husband
with threatening to kill her. In the
meantime, however, it seemed that
the head of the family was busily. oc-
cupied, and he came to Justice Ballard
with papers in a suit charging Mrs.
Murray with adultery. Justice Bal
lard has set the time for hearing both
cases as Thursday morning. Morris
& Lowenberg are attorneys for Mr.
Murray.
But little is known as to who Mr.
and Mrs. Murray are. They are said
to have come to Ottumwa recently
from Illinois and to be living now or

HAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
Horse Driven by B. r. criIey stumbles
and Turns a Somersaut.

A horse belonging to e. B. Criley,
attached to a buggy and which was
being driven by B. R. Criley, caught
it's right forefoot in the crossing over
the Burlington railroad at Market
street this morning at 10 o'clock and
turned complete somersault. The
animals hoof stuck in the crossing
between board and rail and it as
necessary to get an axe and cut the
foot out before the animal could get
on it's feet. The horse struck upon
its nose, and that part of its anatomy
lis probably broken. The foot was also

Importance, more especially in it's pre-

pose to establish some industries, in

work, need go hungry or shelterless as
they can give labor in return for all ben

Coffee is no respecter of persons when
IL comes to the poisonous effects thereof
A prominent physicians wife Of Month
cello, Ind, says that coffee treated her
very badly indeed, giving her a serious
and painful stomach trouble, and a
wretched, muddy complexion.
Her husband is a physician of the reg

coffee, so he induced her to leave them
eff and take on Postum Food Coffee.
The stomach trouble disappeared almost
like magic. ana gradually her complexion
cleared up; now she Is in excellent con-

There are thousands OF highly organ
