WOMAN RELEASED.
Mrs. LaveIIeur Not Held for Hus-
bands Murder,

Newton, May Especially After
another full days investigation of the
Lavelleur murder, the coroner's jury
is still unable to ascertain by what
means Lavelleur came to his death. 1t
was expected that Mrs. Lavelleurs tes-
timony would be of the utmost impor-
lance in ascertaining the guilty party
but her evidence has revealed nothing
and she has been released. 1t is said
that she simply repeated her former
story telling that her husband had TAX
en- dinner with her and he had started
the barn was afire. She went to the
nearest neighbours for help and did not
notice Lavelleur's absence until asked
where he was. She stoutly maintains
her innocence and any knowledge of
how the man met his death. 1t is
thought the officers are working on a
new clue, as the coroners jury has ad-
journed until Saturday morning.
Mrs. Lavelleur was taken before the
jury Immediately upon her return
from the funeral and her examination
lasted for about four hours The jury
has reached no verdict and it is I'M
derstood has made no Roadway on
any tangible clue. The three stepsons
have been released, but it is expected
that more arrests will be made today.
1t seems to be the general opinion, as
before, that the man was murdered
and thrown in the barn and burned. A
careful examination of the ashes
where the body was found has been
made and it is thought that coal oil
was thrown on the baled hay the sur
rounded the body An analysis of the
ashes will be made. Members of the
coroners jury refuse to give out any
of the evidence and also to talk con.
corning the investigation only that
they have not arrived at verdict.

HOOKING MINE SOLD.
Coal Property Worth 100000 Has
Changed Hands.

S''6'SSd idIdSs
Concerning the sale of the mines at
Hooking the Abba Union says:
1--WE have been told on what seems
to be the very best authority, that the
Hooking mine has been sold to the
Consolidated Coal Co. or the North
western road. The price is under
stood to be right around 100000.
The conveyance carries with it TWEEN
ty-eight pieces of valuable coal prop
erty, with shafts, company houses,
store, stock and other appurtances.
1T is further stated on what seems
reliable information that the North
western has purchased the Albia-C Cen
terville road. If this be true then
there is nothing unnatural in the con-
clusion that the Northwestern will
build from Buxton to Abba in order to
tie their two great mines, Buxton and
Hooking together. We talked recently
with one of the best coal prospectors
in the state and he said without hest
tation that these were the greatest
coal properties in Iowa. If this road
shall be built this summer it will add
greatly to Albia's population and bust.
ness interests. If to these we could
add 'Waterworks and belt line of cleo
trio roads that would chain the min
ing camps of this county to this city
Abba would double her population in
five years"

THE ToNTlNE IN IOWA.
Legal Battle Probable, Over Bill Pass
ed Regulating Tontine Companies.

Des Ioines, May 2.-There is legal
battle in prospect for the state of
Iowa to determine the right of the
state to protect its citizens from the
tontine schemers. The home promo
tiers and managers OF the tontine bust
ness are laying plans for contest
with the state and an attack on the
new law which they feel certain will
soon go into effect. The legislature
passed most stringent bill requiring
that persons, firms or partnerships en-
gagged in any of the modern tontine
schemes taking in payments at stated
periods and promising property or
something of value under contingent
cieS shall incorporate under the build
ing and loan law and every such incor-
poraticn shall file bond with the aud
itor of state in the sum of $50, 900. The
bill was savagely attacked by persons
engaged in the tontine business, and
Governor Cunlmins has thus far failed
to sign the bill. He has another week
in which to decide and in the mean
time has secured an opinion from the
attorney general as to the legality and
regularity of the bill. The chief point
of attack is that it practically prohibits
the right Of private contracts and that
it would shut out all installment bust
ness. But it is certain that the gov
ernor will at least permit the bill to
become a law even though he does not
sign it. A few days ago there was
filed with the secretary of state the
articles of incorporation of the Bank
ers' Tontine Mercantile Company of
this city, and charter was demanded.
| The papers were filed by one who has
| been connected with one of the local
tontine concerns against which the law
just passed is directed. But the pa
pers were cleverly drawn and the pur-
pose of the new company is stated to
be to deal in, buy and sell farm ma
chinery and implements, furniture.
diamonds, etc. AS this looked some-
what suspicious the attorney general
was asked for an opinion and he de-
cided that the plan of the company
might be to evade the law just passed
and under the guise of dealing in plows
and rocking chairs conduct tontlne
business in Iowa. The secretary of
state has, therefore, refused thus far
to grant the charter to the company
and it is probable that the promoters
will go at once into court to test the
right of the secretary to refuse to rec
ognize the company. In the meantime
one incorporated company here in Des
Moines and several unincorporated as
sociations are doing a tontine bust
ness, and they will continue to do SO
until the law is in force and a test
made in court as to its power.

MIR. Mollison's Many Friends Recogni7
ing. His Worth to the Order Wan
Him to Succeed Colonel Harry Green
of DEBORAH.

If the plans that are being made by
the friends of W. T. Mollison in this
city and at other points throughout tIhe |
state do not go amiss there is little
doubt but that the Ottumwa man will
be elected colonel commanding the
Iowa division of the Sons of Veterans
at the annual reunion of that organiza-
ton, which will be held in conjunction
with the G. A. r. reunion at Des
MONIES May 20 to %. The many
friends of Mr.. Mollison, knowing of his
interest in the work of the organiza.
ton and remembering the zeal with
which he worked for the reorganiza-
ton of Donelson camp, No. 80, in this
city, year ago, realize that Just such
man is needed at the head of the or
der in the state and realize also that
the splendid work Mr.. Mollison has
done deserves some handsome recog-
milton.
To Succeed Col. Harry Green.
Colonel Harry Green of DEBORAH is
now in command of the Iowa division
of the Sons of Veterans. Last year.
when Mr.. Moliison was prominently
mentioned for the Office of colonel he

persistent worker in the Sons of Vet
Grams for number of years, having
held the commission of Captain of
Donelson camp No. 80, for two years,
and later was chairman of the Iowa di-
vision council. He was a factor in
the reorganization of the local camp
which was accomplished last spring.
and worked faithfully in an endeavor
to increase the membership Of the
camp, and upbuild the order that it
may be better enabled to fulfill the
great object of the Sons of Veterans,
the perpetuation of the memory of the
deeds of their fathers, and the hard
ships and trials they underwent to
preserve the union, and to keep green
the graves of these heroes, Wien they
will have passed away.
1t is thought that Mr.. Mollison will
not have much OPPOSITION for the col
onelcy, when it is underst oGl that he
will accept the Office, as he was talked
of last year at the convention where
his name was presented as candi-
date for the position, but he withdrew
his name in favor of Harry Green, who
then was elected colonel
The opinion is current that Mr.. Mol
lison can be prevailed upon to look
favorably on the plans his friends have
made for his candidacy, and Judging
from letters received from members of
the organization through the state, it
is believed that his election is almost
a certainty.

The railroads of the state have passed
