Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, June t9.-one of the June
weddings which was reported to have
come off Wednesday evening did not
take place, for the Bridegroom was
missing when the time came for the
ceremony to be performed.
A large party of guests was assem-
bled at the home of Ms. Weber five
miles northeast of Grin.iell. to witness
the ceremony which shGuld unite Gull
len Gregory and Clare Weber. The
minister was present, bountiful we'd
ding repast had been prepared and
many preparations had been made for
the festivities after the marriage. But
to the CONSERVATION of those present
Mr.. Gregory did not appear and moth
ing has since been heard of him. All
that the guests could dc was to par
take of the supper and make the occa-

Many are the surmises being made
to account for Gregory's disappearance.

HEALY AND JUDGEsHIP.
He Will Be Candidate to Succeed Judge
Shiras.


Des Moines, June 19.-Senator Thom-
as D. Healy, of Fort Dodge, has an
rounced to his friends that he is n
candidate for the position of United
States judge Of the district court for
the northern Iowa district. This infor-
nation came direct from Fort Dodge
and is said to be authentic. Judge
Shiras. of Dubuque. has told his close
friends that he will tender the president
his resignation this fall probably dur
ing the month of September. Senator
Healy, according to the authority
quoted, is canvassing his friends as TO
his chances for the position, and is the
only ayowed candidate FOR the posi-
ton in the northern district. Mr.. Healy
has served in the senate for four years
and is probably the most active meul-
ber of that branch Of the legislature
from the northwestern part of the state.
1t has been understood Tor some time
that Judge Shiras had intended to
sign. but the time has never been def
nitely set. and the statement that he
would resign in September. coupled
With the fact that Senator Healy is a
candidate. will furnish considerable
speculation for the politicians in the
northern Iowa district.

POWDER AND GUNS.
Evidence That They Were Used Long
Before the Christian Era.

Before the Christian Era.
There is abundant evidence that the
origin Of gunpowder and artillery goes
far back in the dim ages of the past.
The Hindoo code, compiled long be-
fore the Christian era, prohibited the
making of war with cannons and guns
or any kind Of firearms. Quintus Cur
thus informs us that Alexander the
Great met with fire weapons in Asia,
and Philostratus says that Alexander's
conquests were arrested by the use OF
gunpowder. 1t is also written that
those wise men who lived in the cities
of the Ganges "overthrew their enc
mics with tempests and thunderbolts
shot from the walls Julius Africanus
mentions shooting powder in the year
275 1t was used in the siege of Con-
stantinople in 66S, by the Arabs in $40,
at Thessalonica in 904, at the siege or
Belgrade in 1913. by the Greeks in ma
val battle in zoos. by the Arabs against
the Iberians in 1l4I and at Toulouse in
1918.
1t appears to have been generally
known throughout civilized Europe as
early as 1900, and soon thereafter 1t
made its way into England. where it
was manufactured during the reign of
Elizabeth. and we learn that 4 few
arms were possessed by the English in
1910 and that they were used at the
battle of Crecy In 1546.--Cassier's Mag
