Iowa Female Cannot be Found
by Relatives.
LEFT WITH JEROMEHOOT
Latter is the Man Who is Serving
/. Term in the Penitentiary on the
Charge Of Attempting to Kill His
Wife.

Waterloo, May 9. Especial 1.-THE
police of this city have bees asked
to aid in the search for Miss Table
Preston of Morning Sun who disap-
peared in 1898 with Jerome W. Hoot
who is now serving sentence in the
penitentiary at Anamosa for the at
tempted dynamiting of his wife in this
city. It will be remembered that he
sent an Internal machine to Mrs.
Hoot through the express Office. The
letter which she received was signed
"Tab" supposed to be Miss Preston.
At the time she disappeared with
Hoot it was understood that they were
going to be married. She accompan-
led him to Chicago where they were
seen together and from there all trace
of her was lost. Her relatives have
never been able to get any satisfac-
tory answer from Hoot as to where
she is. He will be asked to explain
if he can.
s. G. Preston of Chicago, a brother
of the young lady is conducting the
search and will not cease until he finds
her or what has become of her. When
Hoot was tried in this city the letters
were brought into evidence and shown
to have been written by him instead of
Miss Preston

mission-compromise Arranged.

Sioux City, May 9.-(SpeeiaD-
There was a surprise sprung at the
morning session of the Iowa State Fed
Grafton of Labor, when resolution
was introduced asking the American
Federation to withdraw from Wash
iQgton all lobbies, the failure to secure
the passage of any bill being the rea-
son. Efforts to double the member
ship of the State Federation by the ad-
mission of the Iowa mine workers un-
ion on other terms than those propos-
ed by themselves may be successful.
The miners want seventy-five dele
gates, but the federation would thus be
dominated by miners and this will not
be permitted. A compromise is being
arranged. The election of officers will
be held tomorrow. OBlenness. of Des
Moines. is likely to be reelected presi-
dent.

Parishioner ~. Congregation Divided
as to GuHt-churchmen, However,
Find That the Charges Are Untrue.

Sioux City, May 9.-Rev. G. M. Wick
ham pastor of the First Christian
church of this city, who came here a
year ago from Kansas City, and who
doubled the membership of his charge
in that time, has been tried and ac-
quilted of the allegation that he had
kissed and hugged Miss Cora Bate
man, member of his congregation.
He sprang surprise on his people
when DR.. E. L. Harrison, of Kansas
City, Kansas, representing his former
church, and Rev. Joseph Stotler, of Os-
sawotammie, Kansas, who succeeded
Wickham in the latter's first charge in
that place, appeared to refute the
charges against the character Of the
preacher and to present the call OF
the Kansas City church to Mr.. Wick
ham, asking him to return to fill the
pulpit recently vacated by the ap.
pointment of Rev. Thomas A. Dick
son as chaplain in the regular army
DIR. Harrison stated sthat many OF
Wickham's old parishoners would
have accompanied him to second the
invitation if they could have done any
good.
Goes Into Details.
At one session of the Court the
young woman went into details as to
how her ruin was accomplished by
the divine. She said that he quoted
scripture to show that he had a divine
right to take the liberties, that she
persistently refused him the privileg
es and that hes finally accomplished
his purpose by force. She alleges
that the intimacy of which she charg
es him commenced some time last
summer and continued till Just before
Easter, when she made complaint to
the officers of the church, when she
learned that he was about to be re-elect.
ed for another year, IN her testimo.
ny she went into detail, citing the va.
rious Bible quotations he is alleged
to have used The hn1inister was at
tended in the trial 4by. his wife and
two handsome daughte ers,A who seem
to rather have enjoyed the proceed
ings.
ParishionerS dissatisfied.
From the evidence at the trial it ap
peared that an effort was made to
oust Wickham by covert threats of ex.
posure. of misdoings with young wo
men. Dissatisfied parishioners hoped
to prevent the erection of new $10
600 church in this way. The congre
cation may split and the large part OF
it go with Mr.. Wickham to a new
church. Rev. Mr.. Wickham. announc
ed that he could not accept the call
to Kansas City. but the honor done
him in the face of the charges was
deeply appreciated.
Rumors of Worse.
For two weeks the charges heard
last night have been ending and ru
mors of worse misdeeds than kissing
the young women have been circulat
ed by Wickham's enemies. When he
was confronted with the charges, in
stead of running away as had been ex
pected, he Indignantly defied then
and insisted upon complete anG
thorough investigation.
