ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OBITUARY..
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Isaac Millisack died at his residence
in Ottumwa at Z p. m. February "a.
He was born at Leesville, Ohio, Janu-
airy 5, 1881, and was married to Almi-
ma, daughter of Daniel collars, July 1,
1852; emigrated to Iowa in 1855; set
ting first near Eddyville; removed to
Kirkville, where he lived three years,
and from there to Abba, and engaged
in the mercantile business for twelve
years. The wife and two daughters
survive him; the daughters are Mrs.
Della Koontz, and Mrs. Geo. A. Dins-
more, of Des Moines; he is survived
also by four brothers,. W., Jacob c.,
w. F. and Edward S., Had he lived un-
til July 1, he and his wife would have
celebrated their golden wedding.
Isaac Millisack came from good
stock; he was the son of Jacob Mill
sack who died in 1891, at the great
age of 81 years. Jacob Millisack was
philanthropist, who gave freely of
his means and his time during the ex-
| istence of slavery to assist in the abo-
lition of that great evil. After slav.
cry was abolished he found enough to
do in other reforms and was always in
the advance column. Isaac Millisack
resembled his father in personal ap-
pearance and followed his footsteps in
reform movements. He was an ardent
believer in the philosophy of Spiritu-
alism and for several years has been
an officer of the state society of Spirit
ualists. His life was blameless. He,
like his venerable father. was sympa-
thetic with the woes of others and
fearless in his advocacy of what he
believed to be right. He came to OF
tumwa in 1878. and during all that
time he has been an honored citizen
and his death will be mourned by a
large number of friends not only here,
but in many other parts of the state as
j well as in Ohio. Wv

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infanied condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
when this tube gets inflamcd you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it Is entirely closed deafness Is the
result. and unless the inflammation can
be taken ont and this tube restored 10 it's
normal condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

WANTS HIS FREEDOM
Farmer Asks Divorce From His
Wife.
ALLEGES THAT SHE is UNFAITHFUL
Sequel to the Unexpected Return
Home of Farmer Near krkviIIe-
Alleged Erring Wife Will Be Sep
arated from Spouse.

James F. Young, a farmer living
near Kirkville, has filed an application
for divorce from his wife in the
county clerks Office in this city. The
action is the result of the trouble
which occurred at Young's home Tues
day night, as told in the Courier yes
terday, when he returned home from
lodge unexpectedly, and as he alleges,
found D. B. Flemings and his wife to-
gether. Flemings was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Stevens on warrant charging him
with adultery, and he is now confined
in the county Jail in this city. This
morning he was taken before Justice
Campbell for a hearing, which was set
for March Z. In default of bonds
Flemings will remain in Jail.
A Sensation.
The troubles of the couple have caus-
ed considerable of a sensation in the
neighborhood in which the parties live.
Immediately after the exciting hap
penings of yesterday morning, Mr..
Young came to town and after swear
ing out an information against Elem
ings,, he consulted an attorney with
the result that he filed a petition for
divorce. This alleges that the couple
were married in Ottumwa, November
Is, 1889, and that four children have
been born of the union The specific
charge against Mrs, Young is adul-
terry, and the husband alleges that
this crime was committed between 8
and 10 o'clock on the evening of Feb
ruary 25 in his own home with D. B.
Flemings. The husband asks for the
custody of the children, all of whom
are under age. Williams and Will
Iiams are his attorneys.
FIemings Arrested.
AS soon as he had decided to cause
Flemings' arrest yesterday afternoon
the warrant was placed in the hands OF
! Deputy Sheriff Stevens for service
The later at once went to the country
! where Flemings was staying, and he
| was taken into custody without any
trouble whatever. He was brought
back to the city last night and placed
in jail This morning he was taken
into Justice Campbells court and ar
raigned He plead not guilty and his
trial was fixed for March Z. In de
fault of bonds he was committed tc
the county Jail for safe keeping.
Will Not Talk.
Flemings does not discuss the case
to very great extent. He claims the
trouble was all caused by Young's jeal
ousy. He denies that there was any
thing wrong between himself and Mrs
Young, but he does not explain how il
was that he was in her bedroom, part
ly undressed, as is alleged by the hus
| band.

Location Of the Towns.

Muscatine is the first town on the
east end of the cutoff.
Ardon will be the second town, sew
en- miles west of Muscatine.
Maduro will be the third town, four
miles west of Ardon.
Cone is the fourth town, already on
the map.
Gladwin will be the name of the
fifth town, located in Louisa county.
Haskins will be the name of the
sixth town, the first one east of Wash
ington. The depot, stock yards and
passing tracks have been located on
the Elmer and Campbell 120-acres
which have been purchased. A hotel
is to be built soon The lots will be
plated within ten days.
Washington is the seventh town.
The road is figuring on division
point here, it being exactly half way
to Chicago and Kansas City.
Lorena is the eighth town, the first
one west of Washington. The exact
place has not enAlocated but it will
be in the Grace Hill neighborhood.
The name is not settled upon for sure
yet.
Rubio will be the ninth stationy the
second one west of Washington and a
mile and half west of Skunk river.
Cranston will be the tenth station,
one mile northwest of Richland. The
name may yet be changed to Richland.
Linby will be the name Of the elev-
enth station, seven miles west of
Cranston.
Farson, seven miles southeast OF
HedrIck, will be the twelfth station.
At Rutledge the old line of the road
is reached. Rutledge will be the thir-
teenth station on the cutoff and OF
tumwa, the fourteenth, and the end
of the cutoff.
aG Are Correct.
The list of these stations are taker
from profiles in the Milwaukee Offices
and are absolutely correct. Some O.
the towns start out with queer sound
/ ing names, but when it is realized tht
number of cities already on the Mil
waukee lines it will be seen that it IL
necessary to pick something out of the
ordinary. Especial care has been tax
en- to have the names of the new
towns entirely different from any 9th
err in the state, as we'll as any othe
cities on that line. This will be seel
when it has been found that the nam,
of Loretta has already been given to I
town on another branch Of the Mil
waukee and in order to prevent confu
sion, it is probable that Lorena ma,
be changed before il has been definite
ly decided upon.
May Change to RichIand.
Cranston is another town that ma.
have it's name changed. 1t is locate,
about a mile from Richland, and tn
officials may decide to call it Richland
The company is already making al
rangement to have town lots laid GU
| in all of these new places. The com
pany has purchased plenty of groun'
around each site for good sized city
and it will at once go to work improv
ing them. Stock yards are shown Of
the profiles as we'll as ample sidings
and when the cut off is completed,
will be one of the most perfectl
equipped roads in the middle west.
Work Now Going on.
Work on it has progressed in man.
places all winter. and the contractor
are ahead of what they expected. |
is thought that there will be no doub
as to the completion of the route with
in the specified time, October l, an
that trains will be running direct iron

at that time.
