AS a fitting climax to the day and a
desire to more fully show their SYM
pathy for their martyred President
the citizens of Ottumwa gathered at
tho Grand opera house this afternoon
and amid the most solemn surround,
ings a program was carried out in hon
or of him who gave UP his lie for
the country he loved. Soft rain was
falling as the people gathered at the
opera house, but this had little effect
upon the attendance.
Last Sunday evening it was thought
great meeting was held and it GER
iainly was. Today saw another SER
vice lust as solemn and impressive.
A Solemn Duty.
What made today's meeting seem
perhaps more solemn was the ar
rangement Of the G. A. R. posts and
Sons of Veterans and knights
Templars upon the stage just
to the rear of the speakers. As the
grizzled veterans, many of whom had
trodden the same country with the
dead President and their sons, who
are keeping alive the association sc
dear to them, listened to the words OF
sorrow spoken by the able men, as
signed to rnat duty, tears trichled
down their checks.
Parade Forms.
Shortly before o'clock the Wapel
10 Chief band marched to the hall Of
the Knight Templars and that body
formed behind them. From there, the
procession marched to the hall of the
Sons of Veterans, who fell in behind
the Knights, and the parade agair
marched to the G. A. R. hall. Here
the parade formed with the former
organizations as an escort to the ole
soldiers. Promptly at 2 O'Clock the
anarch to the grand opera house be

Hon.e..icai Belief..

Half a century ago omens were still generally believed in. So, too, were charms. I had cousin who seriously undertook to charm away warts and was believed to have succeeded. She was supposed to have inherited the secret from her father, a Wesleyan minister. My uncle, farmer, and by no means a credulous man, when about to visit London for the first time, feel ing some trepidation, consulted a doc tor. The doctor handed him a small vial of quicksilver, which was certain if kept in the pocket to avert all harm
 Doubtless the doctor laughed in his sleeve, for doctors were then getting incredulous, and I remember 1t being commonly said of another practitioner that he believed neither In God nor devil. Nearly twenty years later, when cousin who, born a Wesleyan, had turned Quaker and came up to London to the annual gathering of that body, he showed me. with a smile, the iden- tical vial of mercury. His mother, good soul, had borrowed it from her brother so that her son might likewise benefit by it-Westminster Review.

INSURANCE MYSTERY.
Fraud and Suspected Murder Esefts
 Three States.


 Jeffersonville, Ind, Nov. 13.-The au, thorities of this place may prefer a murder charge against Newell O. Rath- bun of Little Rock, Ark, under arrest In Louisville accused of trying to de- fraud the Metropolitan Life Insurance company of S4,O00 life insurance by playing dead"
 They believe that the man found dead in the hotel here after his com panion left was murdered by that con- panion and do not credit Rathbun's confession, as follows:
 Several months ago I deserted from the army post at Plattsburg, N. r., in company with another recruit of the name of W. H. Ellis. I soon lost sight of him and went to Little Rock. There l was married and afterward took out the insurance policies.
 'I came to Louisville about ten days ago and formed plan to make the in- surance company think was dead, so that I could collect the insurance.
 ''I fell in with a man who said his name was W. L. Ten Eyke In front of the Salvation Army headquarters in Louisville and told him of my plan, and he agreed to help me.
 Our plan was to obtain a corpse from some place. put 1t in a hotel at Jeffersonville and then set fire to the hotel.
 While we were in Jeffersonville we took number of drinks, and Ten Eyke got drunk. I think his death was caus- ed by drinking. I put the letters ad- dressed to me in his pocket and left. I did not kill him. I then came to Louis vile and went to the recruiting office and enlisted"
 A dispatch from Louisville says: "The Louisville detectives think that the man found dead in the Jefferson vile hotel Thursday, when an attempt Is supposed to have been made to de- fraud life insurance companies, was Charles Goodman of Evansville, Ind. Goodman left the Salvation Army headquarters in Louisville Wednesday night, saying he was going to Indiana, and has not yet returned. It is said the description of Goodman and that of the man who was afterward found dead tally"
