Grinnell, April 24.-The Congrega

unworthy of Christian and gentle
man" are considerably disturbed over
the disappearance of the papers in the
divorce case at Algona. The charges

the charges specific. Just where the pa

lawyers in the case has them in the

CHILDREN'S
CARNIVAL
Unique Entertainment at The Armory Fri
day Night.

The carnival by Miss NJ. Meta Meyers 5
dancing class III the Armory Friday night
was indeed a most unique entertainment
The class of twenty-eight, some as
young as four and half years and none
over II, went through with as nice a
piece of masqueradirg as one could de-
sire to see and that, too, in spite of the
fact that they had received only one
course of instruction consisting Of ten
lessons. They are quite accomplished
in dancing, their performance in several
of the numbers being little short Of re-
markable.
The costumes of the juveniles was a
great feature of the entertainment. The
little boys-nine in number-were all in
evening dress. That they looked very
cute goes without saving and they were
not lacking in politeness and gallantry,
toward the little ladies, neither, as they
carried through their parts in the dance.
The program Of the carnival consisted
of twelve numbers, starting with waltz.
There was two step and a polka, fol-
lowed by fancy dance, LA Violet"
which was very gracefully carried
through by Miss Marion Jones. The
next dance was The Lancers," by the
class, which was followed by THE Giddv
Girls Dance" one Of the features of the
evening, in which the performers were s
little girls arraycl in long white dresses
and wearing large hats covered with
flowers. There was sailors Horn
pipe" by Reber Meyer and a Spanish
Tambourine," which was executed by
Lorene Philips and Elsie Gulick in a
costume of scarlet organdie. a skaters
Schottish" by the class was followed
by cake walk. Each of the contest
ants was arrayed in high hat and car
ried a cane. Their movements we're
amusing in the extreme and most of the
time quite graceful as each one tried to
carry out his or her idea of what a cake
walk ought to be like. Lewis Williams
and Marguerite Evans took the cake.
The "May Pole Dance" in which the
participants were ten little girls dressed
in white was very pretty. The carnival
ended with a two step
At the close Of the program the class
was treated to ice cream and cake by
Miss Meyer.
Miss May Books presided at the piano
during the evening.

OVER JEALOUS
OFFICERS
Young Townsman's Unpleasant Experience
in Sunbury.

The town of Northumberland early
yesterday morning was the scene of a
stabbing affair, as the result of which an
unoffensive colored man may lose his life
and resident of this city came near
achieving an unpleasant notoriety.
When the d. L. & w. passenger train
west, pulled into town Tuesday night
among the arrivals was a stranger in a
badly intoxicated state. In addition to
his unsteady gait, and beliigerent mood
he was distinguished by chin whiskers, a
moustache and white hat. He first
went to the VanKirk House and after
! fooling around there awhile he left, COM
planning that the rates were too high. AS
he departed he picked up ladies' valise
which he took with him.
He applied for lodging at Kessler's
hotel. By this time it was quite late
and the only one to meet him was the
colored porter, Harry P. Snively, better
known as "Barnum. He refused to
have any thing to do with the colored
man, swearing that he wouldn't take
bed from niger" He spent couple
of hours at kessler's and was very troub-
esome. Shortly after midnight he took
a notion to leave for Sunbury. When
the porter, as was his custom, started
for the train the stranger preceded him
to the station. Upon reaching the rail
road track the man stopped and when
"Barnum" came up he soon found oc-
casion for quarrel and remarking that
he "didn't like niger any how" he
drew knife and began to assail the de-
fenseless colored man. The latter at
tempted to ward off the blows and was
badly cut about the arms, one thumb be-
ing nearly severed, in addition TO which
he was stabbed twice in the abdomen.
In the fight which ensued the porter
threw his assailant between the cars.
The latter evidently realizing his posi-
tiun crawled out and ran away, soon
disappearing in the darkness. He left
behind the stolen valise and his hat.
The porter is in serious condition.
The police of both Northumberland
and Sunbury were soon in pursuit of the
would-be murderer. Some Of the officers
in Sunbury got it into their heads that
because the man came down the road he
must have come from Danville and to-
wards morning learning that among
those registered at the Packer House
was gentleman from this city they
went up stairs and called him out of his
room, when they began to ply him with
questions, which were impertinent if
nothing else The ledger is one of our
best known young men and the officers
could discover nothing that would
tend to criminate him. They were rot
satisfied, however, and during the
forenoon took him in hand again,
but finally dropped him. At last
accounts the diligent officers were still in
search of the stranger with but little
prospects of finding him.

The Annual Break -Up,

The ice left the river at this place
about half past o'clock Tuesday
morning on an eight foot flood, which
during the forenoon rose to height of
fifteen feet. The breaking up of the ice
is usually great attraction to our citi-
zens, but owing to the early hour at
which it occurred, Tuesday, the best
part of the spectacle was lost except to
very few. During the greater part of
the day, however, the side walk of the
river bridge was lined by men, women
and children watching the big masses of
ice as they drifted onward, breaking in
to fragments with groaning sound as
they struck the piers or silently passing
out of sight as they swept under the
bridge. The ice, which did not seem
more than 10 inches or foot in thick
ness, passed off the North Branch quiet
ly enough. Twice during the forenoon
it stopped running here but only for
short time. At Wolverton, however,
there was a big jam, which did not
break until about one o'clock in the
afternoon
The West Branch is clear of ice as far
north as Lock Haven.

For Non Support and Desertion,

Gilbert Fenstermacher, of Valley
township. was arraigned before Justice
Hunter yesterday charged with desertion
and non support. He was arrested on
warrant sworn out by his wife, Abigail
Fenstermacber, who was the chief wit
ness. According TO her testimony her
husband has not been living with her
since 1891. In the interim she has sup
ported herself and two children. Her
health failing she recently appealed to
her husband for help, but he refused.
Hence the suit
The defendant swore that his wife had
locked him out of the house and that he
considered himself justified in the course
he had taken. The complainant was
represented by Hon. II. NJ. Hinckley
and the defendant by Raj ph Kisner.
Fenstermacher was held for court in

Story of the Reformation,

The story of the Reformation dealing
with the life and times of Martin Luther
which was produced by Mrs. II. L.
Munroe under the auspices of the Trinity
Lutheran church in the opera house
last evening was largely attended and
proved to be a mostinteresting entertain
ment The story of Luther's life was told
by Mrs. Munroe in very lucid manner
and was illustrated by very good stereop-
ticon pictures SO that all present could
form an idea of the environment of this
remarkable man. The important events
of his life were given by series of scenes
and tableaus in which 200 people took
part. The costumes worn were historic
ally correct and were magnificent. The
"Diet at Worms" was well presented
and the exact dialogue used as is given
in the history Of this great trial, The
important characters as we'll as the min
or ones were played in an easy manner,
the usual nervousness of amateur per-
formances being entirely absent. The
different scenes were all costumed with
great care and beauty The marches and
grouping in the ensemble scenes showed
the good results of Miss Heningers ex-
cellent training. Appropriate music
was introduced in every scene. No one
should miss seeing this performance.
No better opportunity will ever be had
to learn this story. The performance
will be repeated this evening.
