family are attracting attention by their
beauty and noise. The third annual
exhibit of the Marshalltown Poultry

varieties the best ever on display in
this city.
In the neighborhood of 700 handsome
birds including pigeons and turkeys,
besides Belgian hares and other pets,

The quarters this year are much more
convenient than last, and there is
much more room for both exhibits and
spectators. A few of the exhibits have
been delayed, and by Wednesday 1t is
expected that at least 800 chickens
and other pets will be placed in the
hall The show is among the best ever
held in Iowa, and excels the recent
exhibits at Waterloo and Burlington

Mr.. a. B. Shaner. of Lanark, Ill, who
has been secured to judge the ex-
hibits, arrived in the city Monday eve
ming and today commenced his work.
He will not finish the markings until
Thursday.
Among the special attractions of the
show is a four-legged chicken. This
is the property of Fred B. Cleveland,
travelling representative Of the Com
mercial Poultry. a Chicago publication.
Mr.. Cleveland finds time to breed "a
few fancy chickens, and this monstros-
ity was Matched in his own hennery.
The bird Is of the buff cochin variety
and is six months old. The two extra
legs and feet are well developed but
of no use to the chicken. 1t is in good
health and active.
Another of the special attractions
is a turkey gobbler that tips the scales
at thirtysix and one-half pounds.
Several new varieties never before ex-
hibited here. including Klondike chick
MS from Alaska with hair for a pro-
lection against cold instead of feath-
ers, are among the display. Exhibits
have been received from points as dis
tant as Birmingham, Kas. The show
will continue thru the week.

SEQUEL TO A MURDER.
Strange Tale From Burlington, lnvolv.

Fl a
4 A strange story is sent out in press
dispatch from Burlington in which q
tformer Marshalltown girl. known here
las Flora Cole, afterwards as Mrs
Harry Inter, is involved. It will be
4 remembered Mrs. Inter and her hus-
band were murderously assaulted in
| Burlington a year ago last Thanks
giving night, resulting in Mr.. Linter
dying and his wife barely escaping
| with her life. Mrs. Inter has now re-
married, and in connection with the
announcement Burlington correspon-
dent sees other alleged facts that may
have a bearing on the murder case.
The Burlington dispatch is as follows:
Word reached here today that Mrs.
Harry Inter, widow of the man mur-
dered on Locust street in this city on
Thanksgiving night 1900 has again
been married, this time to William
lCourtweight at Pendleton, Oregon. The
wedding took place December %.
THE murder case, subsequent suicide
of George Anderson in a cell at the
county Jail, just as the jury returned a
verdict of guilty created considerable
excitement. Now comes a story of still
more interest 1t is mere rumor and
could not be verified tonight About
twenty years ago Burlington was
wrought up over strange murder and
suicide. A young girl noted for her
great beauty was adopted by w. E.
Woodward, mayor of Burlington. When
about seventeen years old this girl
Della Woodward, as she was called, was
courted by two young men, Jim Wood
ward, son Of Mayor Woodward, and Ed
Price. The latter was successful in his
suit and won the girl. They Were mar
ried but the union was not happy and
the young bride left her husband and
again went to live with the Wood
wards. This greatly angered her hus-
band who alleged that Jim Woodward
was the cause of the desertion and
meeting him in front of the Thul build
ing on Main street struck him. A
fight ensued, young Woodward swore

Emperor and Shah.

Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria,
was hunting recently, and at nightfall
found himself at considerable distance
from the castle in which he was staying.
He was very tired, and was wondering
how he would get home, when suddenly
a peasants wagon appeared. Hating
the driver, the Emperor asked if he
might ride, and the peasant bluntly told
him to get in. Then the following con-
versation occurred:
do you know who | amp asked the
Emperor.
Upon my faith, / haven't the least
idea" answered the peasant.
Il am the Emperor Of Austria said
Francis Joseph.
Convinced that his companion was
trying to play joke on him, the peas

'And do you know who / amp

tn. Emperor.

SOME WOMEN INJURIOUS TO
FLOWERS.

Il appears to be an indubitable fact
that there are persons who have about
them some quality that is deadly to
flowers. A florist said the other day:
Frequently a man will come to me
and complain: Look here, paid you
SO yesterday for bunch of violets,
and you said they had just been pluck
ed, and would live nearly a week.
Well, my wife wore them in her cor
sage last night, and they were dead
this morning There is nothing for
me to reply to the man except that
his wife must be one of those whose
contact is injurious to flowers. If
he pooh-poohs this l am able, perhaps,
to recall the name of some lady who
bought violets at the same time and
from the same lot as he, and | call her
up on the telephone and she tells us
how they are still fresh, though she,
too, wore them the evening before.
MY clerks corroborate me also, and
tell of numerous cases in their expert
ence where a few hours in the hair
or on the corsage of woman have
killed the hardest flowers. Indeed
experiments have been made in this
matter, and know personally one tall
robust and beautiful girl who will moi
have about her violet or a rose. be
cause she knows her contact means
death to t."-Philadelphia Record.

WINTER IRRIGATION.

Irrigation is supposed to be most use
full during the summer while the hot
sun pumps hardest on the water. stored
in the soil. But irrigation during the
summer is often hardest to secure, so
that the experiments of the Arizona sta
ton showing that winter irrigation is
quite adequate for all ordinary orchards
will give strong impulse to fruit grow,
ing in that territory. The results OF
tests made were highly satisfactory;
Trees held their foliage all summer and
made an excellent, strong, healthy, Wig
orous growth, though they received not
drop of water during the growing
months. Arizona has large possibilities
in the fruit growing line, and the diff
culties which now stand in the way are
mostly on the score Of irrigation. A real
advance in irrigation methods necessar-
lily means much for the fruit interests;
and in the present instance the expert
ments were applied directly to the grow
ing of fruit and fruit trees.-The Coun-

FASHION NOTES.

Feather boas are fashionable.
Wells are worn so that they hang
loosely from the brim of the hat.
Attractive handles for umbrellas
are made entirely of gun metal, slen-
der. but light and strong. They are
twisted into knotted loops at the top,
graceful in shape and easy to carry.
Velvet gowns, black and colored,
are having a tremendous popularity,
and vary from the most gorgeous silk
velvets to the Liberty and domestic
velveteens, which look quite as pretty
and wear better.
Narrow bands of black or white vel
vet set with steel nail heads or brads,
or beads. or the very effective bands
of gold wire set with turquoise or cor
al beads make excellent straps and
decorations for stocks.
The collarless Elton is responsible
for the especial vogue of the ruche.
Though it's becomingness is sufficient
excuse, collar or none. Accordion
pleated taffeta silk done into a dou-
BILE full puff makes a smart, durable
neck piece.
Deep cape collars of lace are a spe-
cial feature of many of the winter
wraps of velvet, fur, or expensive
cloth. and rich, heavy designs, like
Irish crochet, Flemish, Venetian. and
Russian guipure, are a fiYoraple
choice.
Among the millinery to be seen are
many really beautiful hats in the long
haired white felts and beavers, soften
ed beneath the brim with tulle and
lightly draped with panne lace, OF
plumes. and sometimes with touches
of ermine.
