TO OPEN NEW RECORD

quests for 1901.
MANY HAVE SOUGHT HIS SHRINE
Thfrty-six Licenses Issued by Clerk of
WapeIlo County During Month of
December-Three Less Than in No.
vember-OfficiaI List.

Thirty-six marriage licenses are re-
corded on the books of the county
clerk of Wapello county for the month
ending December 81, 1901, as against
thirty-nine issued during the month OF
November. With the story of the
homage paid him by these seventy-two
persons, Cupid closes the last chapter
in the book of his conquests for the
year 1901 and must now turn his at
tention to the days and weeks of the
coming year and begin a new epoch
in the chronology of the events with
which he may be connected. 1t is for
Father Time alone to unfold the prob.
lens that lie in the future and until
he has done this even the fate of Gu
pid in his fields of conquest must re-
main matter of uncertainty.

STILL HAS ORIGINAL CAPITAL.
Wealthy Iowa Stockman Landed in
America With "a Cents.

Eldora, Jan. 2. Thomas A. Walker,
rich Hardin county stockman, who
came to America from Ireland and has
been very successful in a financial way
has in his possession the identical "a
cents which were all his earthly pos
sessions upon landing in New York in
1888. With pair of willing hands the
young Irish lad secured employment
in the famous Dupont powder mills in
New Jersey, learned the business of
powder making and drifted to the west,
where he became independently rich.
Throughout all his career he retained
the small capital with which he start
ed, and the money will be held by him
as valuable heirloom for his chill
dren's children. Mr.. Walker has a
fund of interesting "reminiscences and
stories.
