The Kalser.s church-BulIding Fad.

The kaiser of Germany has many
hobbies; the kaiserin only one. the
building o. churches, says the New
York Times. AS, however, she is con-
stantly indulging her taste for &C.
clesiastical construction, the matter is,
financially at least, of some Importance
to those who pay for her piety. There
is. therefore, a certain good-natured
dissatisfaction with her extravaganza
is this line. Taxpayers comfort them
selves with the thought that she might
spend their money in less praise
worthy objects. The feeling on the
subject was recently given expression
to in a comical manner at the unveil-
ing of one of the groups of the statues
with which the emperor has decorated
the alley in the Thiergarten in Berlin,
known as the "Siegerallee." At the
close of the ceremony came the ma
tional hymn, Hell Dir i'm Sieger-
kranz," whereat every one, of course,
uncovered. Among the number was
a totally bald man, seeing whom one
of the street urchins present called
out: Hey, there's another vacant
spot for the kalserin to build church
on!"

In the faint gray dawn he awoke
from a troubled sleep. They were on
a long sandy beech. Clear across the
bay were the buildings of the great
hotel. Beyond and above them was a
small village and the cross of tiny
stone church showed over the trees.
"The way is found" he said, calmly.
come, we will go yonder."
The news of their rescue went by
telephone to the great hotel and the
whole house, excited by their disap-
pearance and survival, waited on the
piazzas and at the wharf for their re-
turn on the coast steamer.
The people at the village had given
them some clothing but they presented
a strange appearance as they stepped
on shore. At the gang-plank stood
white-haired old man and a red
faced middle-aged man. They were
both stern and choleric, their great
relief finding vent in hot anger The
culprits came together. Carter Starr
held his head high and his lips were
as set as his grandfathers own. Eloise
was wan and chung to his arm. There
was a loud huzzahing of the passen-
gers and a dash forward to shake
hands.

something to halloo for Miss Storms

and have come back as we were saved,

ing at st. Stephens across the bay"
The old mans eyes at once met those
of the red-faced mans in a look of
intense relief. He caught his grand
sons arm.
"And you did right, you scamp" he
roared out, You are always a gentle
man."
And Eloise felt her uncle's wet cheek
against her own.

stances, the only thing"

ask for Office again it should be on
their merits personally, and not be-

AN ALL-NiGHT TRIP.
Party Of Young People Take a Long
Ride.
From Friday's Daily

Since the recent snow storms bob
sled rides are of very frequent occur
renee, but one taken last night by a
party of young people living in and
near Ottumwa is worthy of special
mention on account of the numerous
exciting moments, as well as the
length of time occupied by the merry
makers. At about S o'clock last even
ing the party started from this city
on hayrack placed on runners. On
reaching the Stevens residence, about
two miles north of the city, it was de-
cided that the horses hitched to the
conveyance were unable to satisfac>
torily perform their task so two spans
of strong miles were substituted for
them. The party then continued ON
the way to Highland Center, but when
near the residence of County Super
visor ]. H. R. Spilman they struck a
bad place in the road and the hayrack
was turned over. Owing to it's width
the people on the upper side were
compelled to make flying leaps, which
are said to have rivalled the most dar-
ing of circus performances. After
righting the sled the journey was re-
commenced and Highland Center was
finally reached at about IL o'clock.
Here an oyster supper was served and
musical program was rendered by
different members of the party, and
the return trip was commenced short
ly after midnight. After another over
turning of the sled and the accom-
panying aerial performances coup
led with return to Highland and a
start over another route, the party
reached Ottumwa at about $50 this
morning. Everyone reports a pleas
ant time, altho all agree it was UNI
comfortably long. Those in the par
ty were: Misses Mary Buckner, Ma
bel Rodgers, Maude Stevens, Kyle
Dimmitt, Grace Morgan, Lulu Buck
ner, Moss Anderson, Edith Stevens,
Ethel Michael Gertrude Van der Veer,
Messrs. Will Wycoff, Hubert Vest,
Roscoe Kelsey, Warren Stevens, Gen.

son, Ashford Mccoy and Roscoe Stew

A BIG MORTGAGE.
instrument Was Filed With County

A big mortgage was filed for record
in the recorders Office in the court

trustee. The instrument is dated
February 1, and covers all property

ers the entire holdings of the above
company in the states of Illinois, In

An investigation of the matter dis

May Land Convention.

Dubuque, Feb. 1S.-The Eastern To-
wa District Independent order of Odd
Fellows will hold their annual meet
ing at Anamosa. April 26. 1t is expec-
ted that upwards of three thousand
Odd Fellows will be present at the
meeting. An effort is now being made
to have large delegation of local
members of the organization go to An
amosa on that date for the purpose of
inducing the organization to hold the
next annual meeting in this city in
1902. Dubuque has never before had
an opportunity of entertaining the Odd
Fellows and it is thought that the or
ganization can be brought to this city
in 1902, providing good showing is
made by the local lodges at Anamosa.

AFTER FORTY YEARS.
Man Receives Letter From His Faith.
er-Long Since Dead.

G. NJ. Tullis. formerly of this city,
and recently resident of Mahaska
county, returned home yesterday
from Leon, where he was called by
the serious illness of his brother
whose friends will be glad to learn
that he is improving. While at Leon
Mr.. Tullis learned of a peculiar oc-
currence which will prove of interest
to readers of the Courier by reason of
it's unusual character.
The Tullis family formerly lived
near Van Wort, Ohio. There were
five boys, four of whom were in the
army, the youngest, G. NJ Tullis, -e-
NAMED at home. T. S. Tullis, one Of
the sons, was member of Troop &C."
Lane, and took part in thirty-nine bat
ties and skirmishes during the war.
On October 8, 1861, the father wrote
a letter to his son, who was then with
his regiment at Little Rock, Ark.
When the mission reached it's destin-
alton, however, Mr.. Tullis was not
with the company, being probably on
scout duty and the letter went the
routine way, finally coming to
Captain Gibson, of Troop &C." who
accidentally put it and another letter
for Mr.. Tullis, from Lewis Walker.
of Decatur, Iowa, among his own pri.
yate papers.
The war was finished and time
went on The father moved in 1864
from Van Wort to Mahaska county, in
this state, where he died in 1879.
Captain and trooper were separated
and grew to be old men, but about
November 1, 1900, in looking thru his
papers, found two letters which had
been written nearly forty years be
fore He Immediately mailed them
to Mr.. Tullis at Decatur and they
reached him on November 6, election
day.
The seals We're unbroken when the
letters We're received and the son
read for the first time the news that
was intended for him nearly forty
years ago and the writer of which
has been dead over twenty years.

A Legal Contest Probable.

Washington, Feb. IS.-The finding
Of baby boy on the FREELY one
evening last week may result in le-
gal contest between the counties of
Washington and Muscatine as to
which is responsible for the childs
support Max Marbourg. who took
the child said that he would give it a
home until another could be found,
and he did not promise to adopt it,
Since then Auditor Ingham has had
some correspondence with the auditor
of Muscatine county, whose replies in
timated that Muscatine county was in
no way responsible for the infant 1t
will be remembered that the child
was born in Muscarlne, abandoned in
Columbus Junction and found a tenn
porary home in Washington. Musca-
tines claim is that the mother was not
a resident of Muscatine county and,
therefore, it is not responsible. 1t
might be argued that since the child
was abandoned in Columbus Junction,
Louisa county is TIE proper county liza
BILE, but that has not been discussed
The intention Of the officials seemed
to be to turn the child over to the
State Children's Home Finding So
ciety, in case Mr.. Marbourg should not
want to keep it. Rev. ]. e. Van Wink
lie. of Ottumwa, representing the Home
Finding society, was in the city last
night and talked about the puzzle.
