The question Of bonding Audubon
county in a sum not to exceed $4,000
for a new court house, will be sub
mitted to the voters Of the county at
the approaching general election. The
board says that the time has come
when they must provide more vault
room for the county records. The

| In a. case ruled upon here by Judge
Shiras, the main question presented
! was whether the federal court had jur-
isdiction over suits at law or in equity,
to deal with contest of wills which have
been formally probated. The court
holds that when the amount involved in
the dispute exceeds $4,000 and the par
ties to the contest are citizens of diff
ferent states, that the federal court has
julidiction to consider and settle the
questions arising in the contest of the
will.

keokuk.
One Keokuk wedding did not turn
out we'll, according to the story told
to the police by woman married here
last Saturday who gave her new hus-
band $400. all her savings, and allowed
him to run off with them after a mar
ried life of four days. The bride is
thirty five years old, and named Mrs.
Lillian Swift. 1t seems that the woman
who was single was married to the
man in question at Keokuk. last Satur-
day, after having formed an acquain-
lance thru the medium of matrimon-
ial journal published at Chicago. At
ter he married her and got her money,
he deserted the woman on pretense of
getting work elsewhere.
Iowa Falls.
About forty ladies are working very
enthusiastically preparing sheets, pill
lows, pillow slips, towels, and many
other necessary articles to be used in
our beautiful new hospital. The Citi-
zen says the whole community is in
terested in this cause and every one
will doubtless feel that 1t is both a
pleasure and privilege to aid It, The
small sum of fifty cents annually is the
cost of membership and it is hoped the
ladies will quite generally join the aux
ilary. 1t has also been suggested that
gentlemen be invited to become hon
orary members by the payment of the
usual fees. The expense of the needed
supplies will be considerable and 1T is |
thought that they who can not darn or |
sew, but are liable to be sick might be
glad and willing to have q part in this |
good work.
