Alphonso Commette resides at No i5A

OF glass being broken.
Jumping from his bed he looked out OF

That window had been broken. and

IF YOU love me as I love you.
No love shall break our hearts Ia two

'If YOU love me as love you.
No love shall break our hearts In two"
So the valentine poet OF years ago
wrote. and the jingle just hit tho case
OF Lionel T. Corey, who, had he lived
until tomorrow, would have been 80
years old.
Alas, the course Of true love ran astray
and across lots with Lionel for his heart
was broken" Judging from the pictorial
sketch he left for the consideration or
one whom he believed had laughed his
love 20 scorn.
Corey was a, house-paintcr. and in ad-
dition To being infected with an ardent
love for fair daughter OF Pawtuxet VIII
lage. had so strong a hnnkering for the
ardent OF quite another kind, that with
in a year he was sent 90 the farm as a
common drunkard. and>there treated for
delirium tremens.
LOVED THE HoUsEKEEPER.
The object of his love was n comely
young woman, who was officiating as
house-keeper tor PawtiXette, who,
while 50 years old. had still managed TO
keep burning brightly the fire OF love.
The damsel evidently preferred tho
substance 20 the shadow; the real thing
the ephemeral: a house that could be
painted to a man who might paint n
house If he could manage 60 keep sober
until the job was done
And so she became a bhshing bride
and the darling OF an old mans heart.
Whercat Lionel sought the cup which
inehriates more than II cheers.
As the days ran into weeks and the
weeks into months, Lionel grew more and
more sick at heart, and az $50 o'clock

Patrolman Joseph M. Ahern evidently
made a better haul, this morning, than
he had anticipated.
Shortly before o'clock. Ahern's at
iention was drawn TO two men. whom he
discovered In the rear OF Irving c. Per-
thelrs shoe store, at S27 Westminster
street
The men were close TO window and as
he was watching them they tore open
wooden shutter and smashed pane OF
glass.
The intention OF the men was evident;
they were bent upon getting into tho
store.
Ahern made a move and the men
caught on that they were watched and
made a break.
Reaching Westminster street they sep
arated. and Ahern picked out one and
chased him.
FOUR SHOTS FIRED.
The fugitive ran from Westminster into
Spring and thence into Pond street. and
his speed was accelerated no doubt, by
the four pistol shots which Ahern fired
into the air.
on Pond street the man ran into yard
and was overhauled as he was In the act

TELEPHONE MATTERS
New Connection Established Between
ottumwa and Oskaloosa.

meeting of the representatives of
some of the independent telephone
companies doing business in the vicin-
lty of Ottumwa was held at Oskaloosa
Saturday afternoon, at the office of the
Home Telephone company of that city.
H. 3. Pancost, of this city, manager
of the Ottumwa Telephone company,
represented that concern, at the meet
ing. For some time there has been
more or less of a disagreement be-
| tween two rival companies doing bust
ness, or attempting to, between this
city and Oskaloosa. One of these
companies, known as the Cedar line,
| is in the Southeastern Iowa Independ-
ent Telephone association, while the
other the Kirkville line, is not. These
two lines. however, are in direct com
petition between this city and Oska-
loosa, or would be if the Kirkville line
was taken into the association. 1t was
| for this purpose that some of the men
| interested in this line came to Ottum,
wa few days ago and made an effort
| to get the Ottumwa Telephone COM
pany to bring their line into this city.
This was not done, however, as it is
against the rules of the association.
| The same condition was met at Oska
loosa, and the meeting at Oskaloosa
on Saturday was for the purpose OF
Strengthening this matter out. 1t is
now understood that the Kirkville peo
pie will buy the other line and will
thus become part of the association.
This will give the people of Ottum-
wa added telephone conveniences, and
will aid its merchants great deal in
tapping the country through which the
line passes. The trouble that existed
between the rival companies has beer
completely settled and the business o.
the association will move peacefully
hereafter in regard to this matter
| Material has been purchased fol
the erection of piece of line sixteer
miles east of Oskaloosa to make con
nection with other eastern lines ant
connection will be had with the new
exchange at Eddyville and through
that place to Ottumwa. making twt
connections that this city will have
with Eddyville.
