very favorably but 1 do not know
whether he would accept the nominal

also been talked of. Judge Wade, Of

Mr.. Stewart became uneasy about his
daughters absence and after talking
the matter over with his wife he con-
Guided to go in search of the girl. When
he opened the back door he beheld his
daughter lying at full length on the
porch. His first thought was that the
girl, had been murdered but when he
raised her head and found strong odor
of chloroform about her face and neck.
"A further examination exhibited several
finger marks on the girls neck. Some
time afterwards when Miss Stewart re-
covered from the effects of the drug she
told the story as given above, but could
not give a very lucid description of the

be known as the Des Moines, Iowa Falls
& Northern railroad. We're removed last
evening when President e. S. Ellsworth
Of this city was advised by wire that

here. President Soule of the Globe Con-.
|struction Company had been in the city

where full meeting of the company
MAS held and the contract submitted by
the local railroad company was ratified.
PTemat ure reports as to the letting of
this contract have been circulated in the

doubt gained currency thru the fact
that negotiations have been pending for
several weeks, but final action was not
taken until last evening. Under the

Rev. Cash, the Picrson Preacher.
Says Tie Was Only Indiscreet.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City. May 14.-Rev. w. B. Cash.
who recently has been giving the little
town of Pierson considerable advertis-
ing and acquiring little publicity on
the side himself declares he has been
treated unfairly in the reports and
rumors in connection with his martial
infeliclties.
Rev. Mr.. Cash does not deny that he
was somewhat indiscreet and perhaps
foolish in some of his actions, but he
does emphatically deny that there was
anything of a serious nature in his as
ISOLATION with Mrs. f. F. Watson, a
member OF his erstwhile church at Pier
son, and he fears that as a result of the
advertising the case has been given
many people have formed wrong and
unwarranted opinions.
He explains that the trouble arose
over a projected buggy ride which Mr..
and Mrs Watson and Rev MIR and Mrs.
Cash We're to make to Sioux City sew
eral days ago. The two families lived
near each other and We're on good terms.
When the time for departure came, Mrs.
Cash refused to go. and Mr.. Watson re-
fused to go. so the minister and Mrs.
Watson decided to come on to Sioux
City together They came here and re-
turned to Pierson, and found there was
considerable excitement there as re-
suit of their buggy ride There had been
no thought of an elopement, he explains.
There does not seem to be any dispute
as to the statement that Mrs. Watson
ff.( ,.,S, 20, t,,,i
finding her own door locked In there
matters Rev. Mr.. Cash and Mrs. Watson
admit they were indiscreet. as also in
the matter of coming to Sioux City late,
and sitting for a picture before cam
era.
However, Rev Mr.. Cash thinks there
was nothing in the case>Io deserve the
Widespread publicity it was given. and
he declares the people of Pierson do not
feel nearly as bitter toward him and
Mrs. Watson as has been suggested. He
states that he was at Pierson Saturday
and talked with many of the citizens
and consequently knows whereof he
speaks.
1t is not known what will be the out
come of the trouble. Cash has employed
attorneys in Sioux City to fix things W
for him in the best possible way Mrs
Watson is still in Sioux City, staying
with relatives.
T. j. Stevenson, who was at Piersor
Saturday assisting Cash to settle diff
culties which have arisen as a result OF
his indiscretion, says that what Cast
says about the reports being exagger-
ated are true. He says many citizens a
Pierson feel kindly toward the minister
regretting that he should have been 81
| indiscreet.
When he returned to Sioux City Sat
urday evening Cash called at the CALLER,
at which he and Mrs. Watson sat 70
| photographs.

Complimentary to the reader who at
teRded to enter into detailed consider
alton of a program which is very well
able to speak for itself. II will be in
teresting to know. however, that the
delightful encore the Symphony orches-
ira gave to the grand overture to Der
Freischutz'' was Erich's 'Strifmutter-
chem heard here for the first time. Mr..
Clark, always a favorlte. responded to
an encore with "Dio Passente,'' from
.Gounods Faust. Mr.. Butler so captured
his hearers with his Interpretation of
Mendelssohns E Minor Concerto that a
response (Bach's Chacone) became a
necessity. The length of the program,
heightened by the demands of the audi
ence, prevailed upon Mr.. Cowper to de-
cline a recall, and Mr.. Rosenbecker was
disappointing only when HE baton ex-
tended an Invitation to the Dance

1t would be manifest injustice to neg
lect special mention of the Norwegian
Maidens' Spinning Chorus from the

as she has rarely sung before.
The first feature of the Wagnerian
system is the employment of a mythical
subject. Wierd and legendary in char
acter. the Ride of the Walkyries" was
easily the best number on the program,
