Wife-Why, John, just see what
stupid blunder the newspaper has
made in it's account of our silver we'd
ding. Don't you remember 1 wrote 1t
out for the reporter that we had spent
together twenty-five years Of married
happiness, and the stupid typesetter
has gone and made it twenty-five years
of marred happiness. Isn't it awful?
Husband-Oh, well, dear; don't be

THE WHISTLE WAS SILENT

why His New Set of Teeth Didn't
Help the Blower.
A small town in Posen, near the Sile-
sian frontier, still keeps that relic of
other centuries, the night Waterman
who calls the hours. One night-the
London Telegraph tells this rerharka-
BILE stOry-one of these watchmen, an
old worthy long in service, failed to
blow his whistle when the clock struck
the hour.
The burgOmaster summoned the de-
linquent to account for his negligence.
After some hesitation he declared that
his last tooth had dropped out and
that he could not hold in his mouth the
official fiat tin whistle.
A council was called, and the subject
was gravely discussed. Finally one
of the members said that he had heard
of a dentist at Breslau who supplied
artificial teeth. After long debate the
council appropriated money to send
the aged watchman to Breslau to get a
set of new teeth.
In due time the watchman reported
that his teeth had arrived. That night
the burgOmaster sat up to hear the re-
suit. To his astOnishment there was
no whistle at 10, at IL or at midnight.
The next morning he summoned the
watchman.
"You have got your teeth" he said
Indignantly. why do you not whistle
as befOre?'
'Yes, I've got a new set of teeth" re-
piled the old man, ''but the doctor told
me to put them in water at night"

facts in the mysterious disappearance

complaints of buyers who found the

make an investigation.

IOWA EDITOR CHANGES
Allan Dawson Leaves Register and
Leader to Take Charge of Home
e&a,I

Leader to axe Charge OF rome
stead.
Des Moines, Dec 26.-The announce
ment of the agreement by which Allan
stead came as distinct surprise to
everyone in Des Moines. It had been
rumored for some time that a deal of
some kind was on but the name Of the
Homestead had not been heard in con-
nection Herewith. He will go over
to the Homestead the first of the year.
It is understood that in anticipation
of this change Mr.. Dawson last Sep
TENDER sold his quarter interest in the
Register and Leader to Samuel Strauss.
The position of managing editor was
never to the taste of Mr.. Dawson and
he recognized that in practically
abandoning the field of writing he had
lost something of value to him. Mr..
Pierce had been looking for someone
who would put into the Homestead
something aside from hogs and cattle
and corn and potatoes, and he offered
Mr.. Dawson $4,000 year to go with
him and give his talents to that jour-
nal. At the same time he will be missed
on the Register and Leader where he
was doing a vast amount of that de-
tail work which goes to make up a
paper but about which the public can
know nothing. The change is mutu-
ally agreeable to himself and to Mr.
Strauss and does nottin any sense in
dictate that there is or has been any
strained relations between them. Mrs
Allan Dawson in fact retains her inter .
est in the property and continues with
the morning paper, where she is doing
a line of special work, exchange CLEAN
ing, editorial writing and similar work
There have been rumors Of another
daily paper in Des Moines and 1t was
known that a few years ago Mr.. Pierce
contemplated starting one, but as to
that it con be said that nothing of
the sort is contemplated now. How
ever the Homestead plant Is big
enough for almost anything and is to
be enlarged. It is justifiable that the
work OF managing editor will now de-
volve on Henry r. Jones, long the
mainstay of the Leader and one of the
best all around newspaper men of Des
Moines.

Mrs. Daggett, of Sanborn, OBJ
jects and Sues for Divorce
Cruel Treatment
WE'RE MARRIED IN HAMPTON
When Isaac Dassett Was a Poor Mer-
chant His Wife Worked in the Store
and Did the Washing at Night But
He Would Not Help, Nor Would He
Hire Help When Able.

| Special to Times-Repubfcan.
| Sioux City, Dec. pa pitiful tale
! of inhuman treatment has been spread
upon the court records of this coun-
| ty. Because her husband required her
| to get UP first of morning and build
the fires. and to do homework drudg-
| cry when the husband was in the bank
! ing business and was amply able to
| hire this work done, Mrs. Emma A
w. Daggett, now a boolSkeeper in Sioux
City, for divorce in the district court
| Of Woodbury. county.
Mrs. Daggett sets up a pitiful plea
in her petition, which was placed on
file yesterday She asserts that her
husband was a strong and hearty man,
while she was in poor health, and he
made no offer to help her with the
housework.
She says that in addition to getting
up and building the fires she had to
carry water and fuel from the base
ment to the second story of their home,
while her husband spent his time at
home in sitting in a easy chair and
reading.
She asserts that when he was in the
banking business she would assist him
in his work at the bank in the daytime
and do her own washing at home in the
night. She claims she always did her
own washing, and that her husband
never offered to assist her nor to hire
any one else to assist her. She claims
that when he was in the mercantile
business she helped him in the store
and did her house work besides. She
asserts that he is worth $4,000 in
moneys and property.
The Daggetts have had a marital car
eer of thirty years. They were united
on October 20. 1872, at Hampton, Ia.
and the plaintiff states that she lived
with the defendant until he told her
she could leave him IL she wanted to,
and that the condition of her health
demanded that she should leave him.
She states that her physician advised
her that she would have to cease her
arduous duties If she expected to re-
cover her health,
She asks the court to allow her
permanent alimony in the sum of $751;
900; that $50 temporary alimony be
granted to her, and s25 per month al
lowed her for support pending the de-
termination OF the divorce proceed
ing.
The defendant was formerly in the
banking business at Sanborn. He was
also in the mercantile business there
and at Cherokee He and his son, Isaac
w. Gaggett, Jr., are rooming at 2o9
Perry street.
Cruel and inhuman treatment is al
legged in the divorce slit of Emily A,
Williams against J. G.. Williams in the
