CRIMES AND ACCIDENTS.

The steamer Providence, plying be-
tween Vicksburg (Miss.) and Lake Pal.
myra. was overturned at o'clock in the
morning by sudden squall at Lone
Landing, and 90 of her passengers and
crew, including the master, Captain
William Cassidy, were drowned.
By the capsizing of a lifeboat seven
life.savers, practically the entire crew
of the Monomy station, on the south
eId of Cape God, met death at their post
OF duty, and with them into the sea went
five men from the stranded barge Wa.
dena, whom they tried to bring to the
shore. One man, Lemuel Ellis, through
the heroic work of Captain Elmer Mayo
OF another stranded barge, was rescued
from the upturned hfeboat. Captain
Marshall N. Eldredge, one of the oldest
life-savers on the coast, went down with
his men. All the life.savers came from
Chatham and Harwich.
Charles d. Thompson, ex-supreme
finance keeper of the Supreme Tent,
Knights of the Maccabees, who some
time ago confessed to shortage of
$57, 900, was arrested at Port Huron,
Mich, on complaint sworn out by
Sheriff Maines. Bail was fixed at s., 900,
which was furnished. The county Off
cials say they had become convinced
that the Maccabees did not intend to
prosecute Thompson, and for that rea-
son Sheriff Maines made the complaint.

Legally Dead. He Cannot Marry.

Jim Younger, who was sentenced to
life imprisonment, but was paroled,
asked Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota
whether or not he could wed, says q
st. Paul dispatch. The governor looked
into the matter and found that the only
way he can make any binding contract
in the eyes of the law is through the
board which paroled HMM this case
the state board Of control-which board
is empowered to enter into a contract
for him. 1t is not probable, however,
that the board will agree to enter into .
marriage contract with any woman for
the benefit of the paroled life convict.
The only way for Jim Younger to be-
come married man in Minnesota is to
get pardon which will restore him to
the rights of a living citizen. Another
phase of the law is that neither Jim
Younger nor his brother, Cole, if they
establish any business of their own, can
be held for any debts which they may
incur.

General Methuen. severely Wounded. Is
Released by Delarey.
General Methuen, who was captured,
severely wounded. by General Delarey,
has been released and taken to Klerks-
dorp, where he is doing well. Later
dispatches show that the fighting lasted
much longer than was supposed, and
that the disaster to Methuen's forces
was due to leaving too large a gap be-
tween the front convoy and the rear,
and to placing an insufficient screen be-
hind the rear guard. which brought
about panic among the troops as a re-
suit of the Boer onslaught. Much re-
sentiment is felt in England that the
Beers wore British uniforms and badges.
Even at close quarters the British could
not distinguish between the Beers and
their own men.

A Boat Many Centuries Old.

A wooden boat, believed to be nearly
1000 years old, has been dug up by some
laborers in county Mayo, Ireland. The
boat is beautifully carved from the trunk
of an oak tree. 1t is 46 feet long, and
and shows no signs of decay. The wood
is SO hard that hatchets make scarcely
any impression ON it. Excursions are
now being organized to view this relic
of Celtic handicraft, which will shortly
be taken to the Dublin museum.

Andrew Carnegie has increased his
gift to the Marshalltown library from

be enabled to complete the building in
all departments in accordance with the
plans approved and accepted.
Mr.. P. s. Balch, of the library board,
who has been conducting the CORES

taries relative to this and his first gift,

ing from the philanthropists's private
secretary:

Balch, Esq, Marshalltown, Iowa-Dear
Sir: Responding to your communica-
ton of the 18th of April. for increased
donation, Mr.. Carnegie has instructed
his cashier to honor your calls for a
further $4,000 for the library. Yours
very truly,
JAMES BERTRAM.
Private Secretary"
The increase in the library donation
was secured from Mr.. Carnegie after
the plans were drawn and submitted,
and it was found that $4,000 would not
finish and equip the building in the
manner desired. When the situation
was presented to the philanthropist,
thru the trustees and Councilman
Merritt Greene, who is a friend of Mr..
Carnegie's secretary and the plann
prepared had been submitted to Mr..
Carnegie, the additional sum required
was promised. on one condition. That
condition was that the city guarantee
to provide by taxation in future years
at least $4,000 as maintenance fund
The council had already voted 3
mill tax for the present year and read
lily consented to the permanent main
torrance fund. Two mills will raise

be burdensome even II it is found
necessary to levy it every year.
The trustees are preparing now to

to completion the coming year.

able to give necessary attention to the
company's business at other points, es-
pecially at Belle PLANE, where most
extensive patronage has been estab-
lished For this reason and for the
further fact that Mr.. Emery believes
that his many patrons In Belle Plaine
and vicinity are entitled to more con-
sideration than he has been able to
accord them in the past, he has COM
nletcd arrangements for the opening OF
branch store in that city about May D..
This store, like the Marshalltown
store, will be run under the name of
the Iowa Tea Company. 1t will be
conducted by Z. u. Emery, of Mar
shalltown and j. Raney, of Belle
PLANE, each of whom will own half
interest, Mr.. Emery, however. retain
ing the entire ownership of the Mar
shalltown store. The Belle Plaine
store will be up-to- date in every re-
spect. A $1,000 stock will be carried,
consisting, of tea, coffee, spices, fine
china and glass ware and, in fact
everything now handled in the Mar
shalltown store. The two stores will
be conducted upon identicaiiy the SANG
plan. The same quality Of goods will
be carried; the same prices prevail;
the same system of premiums main-
tanned. This is Mr.. Emery's method
of expressing his gratitude for the pa
tronage accorded him by the good
people Of Belle PLANE. Altho the
wonderful two years record made by
the Iowa Tea Company has been large
ly due to the strict business methods
under which he has conducted his bus
mess, Mr.. Emery maintains that his
success has been due mainly to tbs
good judgment of the public. He says
the people of central Iowa appreciate
the best of goods and know when prices
are right, and because he has always
furnished the one and maintained the
other he has succeeded.

Contract is Awarded to c. F.

Building Will Be Located on City
Lots. With Frontage on
State Street.

A special meeting Of the city council
purpose of considering bids for the
erection of fire station for the up
town company Of the paid fire depart
ment soon to be installed. Half dozen
bids were received and the contract
was awarded to c. +. Reimer, on his
bid of 1920.
The plans submitted call for sub
stantial and permanent structure, two
stories in height, with sleeping apart
ments on the second floor for the mem
bers of the company. The arrange
ments and equipment will be similar to
that Of paid departments in cities, with
sliding posts on which the firemen will
descend to the ground floor when an
alarm is sounded. The contract also
calls for hose tower. The building
will be erected on the west side of the
city lots, in the rear of the Carnegie
library building, and will front on State
street. Some of the members of the
council favored location facing. on
Center street, at least until such time
as city building is erected on the lots,
but 1t was decided to erect a permanent
building and place it where it will not
have to be moved at some future time.
The specifications call for a building
yeneered with Gladbrook pressed brick
on the front and on both the east and
west sides,and the design will be of such
a character that the structure will or
rather than mar the surround
ings and will be in keeping with it's
