FROM ALL OVER IOWA
The Doings of Your Friends in Iowa Towns
Your Old Home.

Davenport Gas Company have three
cars on Saturday and yesterday he let
the glucose works have seven car loads,
but had to refuse the plea of the latter
concern for ten more cars. Yesterday
he also sent three cars to three differ
ent retail dealers. but that very nearly
exhausted his supply, and he does not
know whether he will be able 10 re-
drawing upon or not.
Mr.. Frahm finds the cause for this
famine in soft coal in the Wonderfully
increased demand. Factories are
springing up everywhere and are keep
ing black columns of coal smoke con-
stantly pouring from their smoke
stacks. The railroads also are using
much more coal than formerly, and it
is due to them that the dealers find
themselves short. When dealers con-
tract with miners for coal they can
never be assured that it will reach
them. If the railroad over which it is
shipped happens to be in need OF the
article, it has no scruples about con-
fiscating 1t. OF course the railroads pay
the market price for what they take.
but that does not enable the dealer to
supply his trade.
Yet If the coal supply is short the
people who suffer for the want of it
may take consolation and pride in the
fact that it is prosperity that has done
the work The real cause of the whole
trouble is probably due to the fact that
the mines were prepared to turn out
only certain amount which was suffi-
cient to supply the demand of the past
and when the extraordinary demand
was made upon them they were not
equal to the occasion, and will not be
until the mines are operated upon a
larger scale. However this may be, the
mines have no difficulty in disposing of
every bit of coal they can put upon the
market, and one large Illinois operator
has sent out word to his customers that
he will accept no orders for delivery
before February.

ANOTHER SUIT AGAINST DowIE
3. +. Williams Asks $4,000 for Alien

alton of Wife's Affections.
Chicago, Jan. 10.-John Alexander
Dowie and his elders, John G. Speicher
and Cyrus b. Fockler, We're reminded
| of Mansfield, o., yesterday when they
were asked to pay $4,000 to former
resident of the hostile town.
Suit was begun in the circuit court
by Benjamin f. Williams, formerly a
school teacher in Mansfield, demand
ing that Dowie and his satellites re-
imburse Mr.. Williams for the loss OF
affections of his wife, Edith r. Will
liams. 1t is charged that when Will
liams refused to contribute to the sup
port of the Christian Catholic Church
Mrs. Williams was persuaded that he
was not worthy of her and that conse-
quently she left him.
AS result of the alleged conspiracy,
Mr.. Williams says, his wife no longer
loves him, but treats him like a
stranger"
Mr.. Williams charges that Dowie
and his elders "conspired together by
purpose of increasing in value certain
properly, income and wealth, known in
the aggregate as Zion, and of adding
thereto and acquiring other property,
income and wealth from contributions
of money. services, and property and
things of value, in the nature of tithes
and gifts, from such persons as could
be induced to approve of said bust
nesses and enterprises and to believe
in certain doctrines taught by the de-
PENDANTS"
Dowie's system of acquiring riches,
saws Mr.. Williams bill was by means
of persuading the women of his flock
ito approve of the Zion businesses and
enterprises and to believe in Zion doc
trines and to contribute money. SER
vices and property to add to tn.
wealth of Dowie.'
Should ordinary persuasion fail, the
bill relates, Dowie would resort to
such means as inducing a wife to de-
sert her husband unless he paid tithes
that is, contributed to Dowie money,
services or property, and unless he be-
lieved or protested to believe in
Dowie's doctrines and approved of his
businesses and enterprises"
The bill accuses Dowie and his ell
ders with ''contriving and wickedly
intending" TO injure Mr.. Williams by
depriving him of the society and as
sstance of his wife.
Williams said last night that Dowie
had tried to send one of his children,
a boy aged IL years, to the reform
farm because he had not been bap-
tized in Zion.
He also said that Elder Spiecher had
conficsated money which he had earn
ed working for Zion

brought in the name of Rev. Perry,
who lives at Alton charging them with
selling to habitual drunkards and min
ers. The suits have stirred up a great
hubbub and the city council has passed
resolutions denouncing this interference
with the traffic by outsiders. The board
of supervisors at their sessi today
passed similar resolutions and ,:.ere is
being engenderedl a deal of partisan
feeling over the matter

apparatus in this city and filled their
places with new men, The charges
against the old employees was derelic-
ton of duty and INDUCING in intoxicat-

SCARCITY OF SOFT COAL.


The soft coal situation is In a worse
condition than ever Instead of relief
from the famine it seems to be getting
worse than ever Yesterday afternoon
j. B. Frahm, the we'll known dealer,
was accosted by a Republican reporter,
and stated that the local supply was
nearly gone and that several of the To-
cal factories may have to shut down
for a time unless something is done to
relieve the situation. The factories
have been having hand to mouth ex-
istence for weeks. Mr.. Frahm let the

PARIS A CHARMING CITY
Once Rude and RepnIlent, 1t Is Now
the Worlds Beauty spot.

Once Rude and RepeIIent, 1t Is Now
the Worlds Beauty spot.
The history of Paris begins with a
collection of huts on the little island
of La Cite, sheltering a horde of bar
barians about the time when Caesar
invaded the territory with his victori-
GUS army in the century preceding the
Christian era Paris grew century
after century from such small begin
nings, until the time of Louis XIV,
who made it one of the greatest of
European capitals in the splendSr IF
its external appearance as well as In
its wonderful treasures of art. Ma
poleon l and Napoleon II did much to
develop the city by improvements re-
quiring immense sums of money.
More than any other city of Europe
Paris to-day appeals to a wide variety
of sculpture and architecture. 1t is
an inexhaustible mine, yet at the same
time it is regarded as a center of ad-
vanced thought and investigation in
every department of science. The me-
tropolis has been for centuries and
still is the gayest and most brilliant
city upon the face of the globe, but to
appreciate the Persian capacity for
amusement it should be seen during
the festival of July IA, the date of the
falling of the bastile. The early part
of the day is celebrated by a parade
of the schoolboys of Paris, who are re-
viewed by the president of the repub-
lie in front of the Hotel de Willie in
the very square where once the pub
lie executions took place-where the
first victims of the great revolution
of 1889 were put to death, where Louis
XVI made public submission to the
people, where Lafayette presented
Louis Philippe to his subjects and
where 600 of the communists of 1871
persisted while destroying the grand
old Hotel de Vile.
No country in Europe surpaSses
France in the industry and self-re-
specting thrift of the people. yet in
Paris is found on every hand pictur-
esque groups of loungers adjoining the
steps of churches and public buildings.
These quiet, orderly, apparently peace
full loungers are the very antithesis of
the nervous. hurrying crowds in an
American city, yet this same indolent
class has formed a dangerous element
in the body polite, for in times of po-
Htical strife the fierce Partisan mob
has been largely recruited from these
idle people.

A Boom In Girls.

DIR. Schenk's theories on diet as de-
termining sex, seem to have been ex-
ploded by remorseless fact, as so often
happens to theories, says an English
exchange. This has been a terrible
year for babies of the feminine gender
The czarina and the queen of Italy
have both given birth to daughters, in
spite of ardent and universal prayers
for sons; Lady Chelsea has recently
had to submit to the arrival of a fifth
daughter. instead of the ardently-
hoped-for heir, and the young duchess
of Manchester has added another small
female to the preponderating number
of women of the British Isles. Fe-
male babies are decidedly a "glut in
the market at present, and the gen.
eral feeling in the families thus aff1ict-
ed is of anything but the welcome

The Banshee.s Warning.

This story is told as an experience
in Ireland. My brother and 1 went
on one occasion with our nurse to see
an old widow called Sally Noggin.
While we were sitting talking to her
we heard three loud and distinct
knocks at the closed door of the cot
tage- We got up and opened it, but
nobody was to be seem The old wo-
man burst forth into loud lamentations
and bowls and said that is was the
banshee come to announce three
deaths. We could not comfort her.
Next morning we went to see her
again and found that she had just
been told of the death of her three
sons, fishermen, who had been drown
ed that night by the capsizing of the
boat in a storm and their bodies
washed ashore. 1t was a very odd CO.
incidence, for we certainly heard the

GOT HIS SALMON CHEAP.
Trick by Which London FishmongeI
Was Taken

Trick by Which London Fishmonger
Was Taken In.
A gentleman entered a fishmonger's
shop the other morning and after MAX
ing a small purchase began friendly
talk with the proprietor
do your lady customers give much
trouble?" he inquired.
well. you know. they never want
to give the price. 1t seems part of
their nature to beat down everything -
answered the fishmonger.
My own experience-my own eXper-
iepce," remarked the stranger.
Yes, 1 quite believe it, sir. Now,
there's beautiful salmon at two-and-
ten a pound. Were l to ask one-and-
six a pound for it a woman would
probably want it for a shilling."
We'll, now, here's a lady coming
across the street Try it on, just for
joke. If she asks the price of salmon
tell her one-and-siX a pound.
The fishmonger agreed. and when
the lady entered and made the desired
inquiry he promptly answered:
Very cheap, ma'am; only one-and-
six a pound
''Then I'll take this one she as
promptly exclaimed, pointing to a
twenty-pounder, and take it she did.
The gentleman disappeared at that
moment. The fishmonger has since
discovered they were husband and
wife.-London Tit-Bits.

Esats of = Rig swede Who Ras just
succumbed to Fever in Maine.
Aroostook countys giant, Join Bros
from of Woodland, is dead at tae ase
of 80. Brostrom was a Swede. stood 6
feet inches in his stocking feet an
weighed, when in good health, 261
pounds.
There was not an ounc of fat on his
huge frame. He was mica tn. sEro s e I
man in northern Maine, and many
stories are related of remarkable feats
accomplished by him.
He once, by sheer strength. start ed
a log jam that had for three days de-
fed the efforts of twelve river drivers.
On another occasion he carried on his
shoulder to the mill hardwood log
that would have been a load for four
ordinary men, had it sawed into board :
and carried the boards strapped to his
back a distance of two miles to his
home
Brostrom could lift barrels of pota-
toes into a high wagon with less eff
fort than most men make to lift a
bushel, and his services were in great
demand at the raising of barns. He
would pick up the heavy timbers like
SO many light joists and place them in
their proper position while the others
were getting ready to lift.
When there was a fire his f1ail-like
arms would bring down the brakes of
the hand tub on one side faster than
four or five of the firemen could lift
up on the other side, and the small
boys said that he was as good a
steamer.
A fever carried the giant off. and all
Woodland and the other Swedish col
onists mourned. He died in a second
floor room. and his casket was So long
that it could not be carried down the
stairs and had to be taken out at {
window.
