Two countrymen in Ireland, who had
not seen each other for long time,
met at fair. They had lot of things
to tell each other. ''Sure, it's married
I am" said O'Brien. "You don't tell
me So" said Blake. Faith. yes" said
O'Brien, can I've got fine healthy
boy which the neighbors say is the
very picture of me-" Blake looked for
moment at O'Brien, who was not,
to say the least, remarkable for his
good looks. and then said: 20, well,
what's the harm so long as the child's
healthy?'

NEW CEMENT WORKS.
California Sugar King to Invest
Money Here.

The success of the cement plant
at Portland has been so gratifying,
both for its excellent quality and
the ready demand for the product
that it has encouraged other pros
pecting along this line The re-
suit is that three separate parties
have been looking over the ground
with reference to building plants
along the Beaver. One of these
has reached definite conclusion
and an organization is in process
of construction. They have secur-
ed an option on $4,000 worth of
land, being practically all the
cement land between the mouths
of the Beaver and Hardscrabble.
They propose a mill of 1000 bar
rels capacity (that at Portland is
BOO, and the location will likely
be on the north side of the river,
about one mile east of Portland.
The company which is pro-
Jecting this movement is exception
ally strong and reliable. Aman

FREEMAN IN PRISON
Confessed Wife Murderer Taken
to Anamosa, Where He is to
Serve Life Sentence.
FINELY EDUCATED AND A STUDENT
Graduate of Augustana College,.
Has Held Responsible
Positions.


John Freeman, the ex-editor of
Rock Island and Moline, and Emmett
county lQowa) wife murderer, who
was last week taken to the state peni-
tertiary at Anamosa, to serve life
term, is undoubtedly the best edu-
Gated lifer in the Iowa penitentiaries.
He was born in Sweden in 1852. but
came to the United States many years
ago, and his parents now live in
Meeker county, Minnesota. He also
has brother and two sisters living
at Moorhead.
He was first married to Christine
S. Reinhold at Princeton, ILL.,, in
1884, but the wife he murdered in
Emmett county was his second. He
was educated at Augustana college,
Rock Island. He became teacher
and took charge of the Lutheran par
oehial schools in Moline for two years.
For some time he worked for the
Lutheran Augustana Book concern
and for a year and half was man
ager of a Swedish Lutheran news
paper at Moline.
His Conduct Questioned.
1t was while in the latter business
that his conduct became questionable
and he was set adrift. He went to
Chicago and failed to get work aud
finally landed on farm in Emmett
county, Ia. He confessed to the MUIR
der of his wife in their home, after
which he set fire to the house to hide
his crime. He said the crime was
dr. 70 fhn old Cd hoI
garding some money which had been
realized from sale of her property. He
is finely educated man and quite q
student. He declared that he realized
fully the enormity of the crime he
had committed and was willing to take
his punishment. even if it should be
death. When asked just before his
sentence if he believed in capital pun
ishment, he said:
Views on Capital Punishment.
Eyes and no. lam rather opposed.
but am open to conviction according
to the circumstances. 1 would not
argue the question. This, however, 1
will say, that with many eminent
educators / hold the view that as
fundamental principle in all discipline
it should be the aim and purpose so to
mete out the punishment that it will
tend. if possible, 20 reform, to lift up.
to make better, to save the one pun
ished."
Freeman accepted his sentence
without comment, and proposes to be
model of sanctimonious good con-
duct. Freedom pals on him, but
penitentiary fare makes him want to
be q better man.

NEW SHOE BRANCH HOUSE.

7. L. vanderslice, of This City, to Manage
One In Davenport.
The. North Star Shoe company, of
Minneapolis, Mimi, has leased the
building formerly and now occupied
by the S. W. Pierce Shoe company,
Davenport. As the latter mentioned
firm is going out of the shoe business,
they expect to start there April 1, and
they will carry large stock of rub
bers and leather goods. They will
handle the celebrated Boston Rubber
Shoe company's brands-Boston first
grade and Bay State second grade.
This brand is the best shown on the
market-at least the majority of shoe
dealers agree to its superiority. In ad-
.dition to the exceptionally large rub
Der stock, they will carry a good as
sortment of leather shoes of their own
manufacture, made at Minneapolis,
Mimi, and at Anoka, Mimi, where
they have a branch factory. This
point will be the distributing point
for large part of their
Iowa territory, and they expect
to work up an additional large
trade in Illinois and northera Mis-
souri,. 1t is their intention to
work nine statesmen from this point,
which will give them 40 road sales
men on their pay roll. not taking into
consideration the four lines used by
house and city statesmen.
The North Star Shoe company will
shove hard for business from this
point aud they will work their BUSH
ness at this point on the same liberal
ideas, using the latest up-to-date
methods for introduction of goods,
etc. The North Star is thoroughly
up-to date house. and its success at
its home office would signify that the
shoe industry of this locality would
be pushed in way that will take on
the aspect of shoe center. Being
so closely connected with the large
house at Minneapolis, it will have the
experience of it's business methods.
/. L. Vandersliee, of Rock Island, who
represents the North Star people in
this territory, will manage the Dav-
export branch in connection with his
road work.

them. 1t will be remembered that
tie comedy. What Happened to

career and after the necessary pres
tige had been accumulated the tour of
the outside world was continued with
success. Browns in Town" has
been played in all the principal cities

much glory attached to the success
elsewhere as to the success in New

If the prestige of New York run has
waned there will be many q good play
produced which has been held back

some clever people, among whom are

attraction at Harper's theatre next
Saturday evening. Sydney Rosenfeld
saw the possibilities of this 3-act
comedy when its German original,
sim Weissen Roess'l," was being
played in Berlin, where it ran for
over year. 1t was produced at Wal
lacks over year ago, scoring a
lengthy and successful run. Last
season it proved big success in all

pany of nearly twenty people, which
has been selected with the greatest
care, includes Miss Minerva Dorr and
