this place, is to be given a church trial
here on charges of conduct unbecoming
Christian and gentleman.

equally with that of the ex-rninister as
the result of the rumors that are
afloat.
Formal charges have been preferred
against him, and church trial is to be
had for the Investigation of his con-
duct. Rev. J. A. Earl, J. r. Vaughan

Waterloo, Nov. 6.-The disappear
ance of Lars Ronquest from this city is
great mystery to his friends and fam
lily. Nothing has been seen of him
since last Monday, when he came to
this city and drew about $3.50 from
the bank. His wife believes he has
skipped the country and is taking steps
to trace him and secure part of the
money, if nothing more.
Ronquest is well known in this VI
cinity, where he has resided for the
past twenty five or thirty years. For
the past three or four years he has
been residing on farm about four
miles east of this city, owned by Judge
F. c. Platt. He has been considered
reliable and has the reputation OF be-
ing a steady hard working farmer.
Last week he had a sale and sold all
his machinery, livestock and other be-
longings. The sale netted him about
$4,000, which he deposited In bank
in this city. He proceeded to settle
up his accounts and everything seemed
to be going nicely. Monday he came to
Waterloo, ostensibly on some business
connected with the sale. This was the
last his wife saw of him.
Part of the funds taken are said to
belong to his wife, being reaped from
the sale of household goods which be-
longed to her.
Mrs Ronquest is well known In this
city, where she formerly resided She
married Lars RonQuest about SIX
months ago, it being the second mat
rimonial venture for both parties. Mrs
Ronauest was formerly Mrs. Hillman.
Mr. Ronquests first wife now resides
in Waterloo.
Mrs Adelaide Hillman worked as
dressmaker in this city and is we'll
liked by all who knew her. 1t Is said
that the couple have got along we'll to-
gether and friends of Ronquest are at
a loss to explain his peculiar action.
Every effort is now being made by the
authorities to find him.

The Grinnell News.

The Senior Academy students will
entertain themselves Friday evening in
the society halls.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. T. Main will give
"a reception to the seniors at their
home on High street Nov. IA.
1t seems that the high school foot
ball team can not stand prosperity and
as a consequence a considera BILE
amount of trouble has come up caused
by several members getting the idea
that no further explanation of foot
ball is needed to complete their knowl-
edge of the game. The team this year
on the whole does not pay much at
tention to training rules; keep late
hours, etc. This state of affairs can
not better the condition of the team
in the least and will certainly bring
about defeat for them in one or both
of there two coming games, the first
with Davenport, the second with East
Des Moines. The material for a team
this year is the best the high school
has ever had or is likely to have again
and now is the best chance they can
get to make name for themselves in
high school foot ball thruout the
state.

II was employed by man at Boone,
Iowa I purchased goods from various
merchants in Iowa and shipped them to
him In Chicago. I secured the goods On
credit and delayed payment of the bills
by saying my employer had left the city
on business. A few months ago I
shipped about $500 worth of goods to
Chicago from Boone.

and came to Chicago to find my en-
ployer. While here became i'll and was

legged victims. called at the East Chi
cago avenue station and complained of
losing goods by means of this swindle.
