ST. PAUL'S.


The members of the st. Paul's
Evangelical Lutheran congrega-
tion know how to manifest their
good will towards their pastor
and his family, and thus encour-
age their hearts in the arduous
duties incumbent upon the min
istry of the Gospel. Year by
year they visit the parsonage in a
body, with words of cheer, re-
vealing happy hearts. Moreover,
they bear with them the essen
tials and comforts of life.
AS the new year was rapidly
approaching, the writer was met
on a mission for the Master and
informed that he was wanted at
home. fastening to ''the old ia
miliar spot" with many thoughts
revolving in his mind as to the
strange message, he found to his
surprise the spacious parsonage
well filled with the kind mem bers
of st. Paul's, Offering their year
ly gifts. 1t was an occasion of
joy to all present and represent
ed: Such occasions strengthen
the bonds already made between
friends.
The writer, with his family,
herewith acknowledge with graf.
itude the. kind remembrance,
seeking the Fathers benediction
upon all represented.

@ During this season of the year
when "good will toward men" is
especially announced, the kind
members of the Zion Ev. Luther.
au church at Sylvan, Pa, desired
to give additional evidence Of good
will toward their pastor, and en-
courage, more and more, the
hearts of those placed in their
midst, to carry on the work of the
Lord. Consequently, they set
,bout, with loving looks and
cheerful hands, to gather of their
substance and prepare the same
for it's long trip across the noun
tain to the parsonage.
Whilst busily engaged with the
work entrusted to his hands, the
writer and his family were great.
~ surprised by the approach of
brothers John Cutler and &c )rge
Yeakle seated on a two horse
wagon well filled with the essen
tials and comforts of life for man
and beast.
They ended their journey un-
der clouds of mist and showers of
rain; the first trip ever made to
this place. But their smiling
countenances and words of cheer
soon told us of the happy hearts
they bore.
"We represent Zion congrega-
tion," they said. "Here are gifts
Expressive or good will"
With rejoicing hearts and silent
prayers for the kind donors we
set about to remove the load. 1t
was a happy occasion for all par

GUILTY OF BiGAhlY.
Wife and Three Children Can Hardly
Believe II.

Marshalltown, July 23.-Albert E.
Isenhart, an Iowa Central fireman,
has been discovered to be guilty of
bigamy. He has wife and three
children, the youngest but six months
old. He was married at Webster
City on the 18th to Emma Mitchell Of
Clemmons, well known young wom-
all of that place, the daughter of re-
spectacle parents. He posed as a
single man to her. He left this city
on Wednesday evening, the 18th, tell
ing his wife that he was going to
Denver to look for a position. He
met Miss Mitchell at Clemens. They
went to Webster City and were mar
ried at the Wilson hotel by Rev. H. F.
Burns of the Christian church. His
wife refused to believe it until she
was shown the telegram sent to the
Times-Republican yesterday, with
facts which were indisputable. Isen-
hart is 33 years of age. His wife
here is %; Miss Mitchell is %. Isen-
hart is the young man who, in 1898,
when Anna Wiese of Green Mountain,
was murdered in cold blood, was
thought to have been the murderer.
He easily proved an alibi, in another
part of the state, and only because
he wasn't found was saved a lynch

FIRE AT FOCAHONTAS.
Fire, Believed To be lncendiary, Dis
troyed Three BUILDINGS,

Pocahontas, July 24.-Incendiaries
are believed to be at the bottom of as
severe a fire as has been experienced
in this place for years. Three large
business buildings are in ruins and the
total loss will foot up to $4,000, with
$1,000 insurance
About 2 o'clock a. m. blaze was
discovered in the hallway between
the Ross & Co. drug store and the
Exchange Bank building. Consider
able security was felt owing to the
fact that a new system of waterworks
had just been established, and nc
doubt was felt that the flames would
be put out after the first alarm was
given. But this confidence soon gave
way to genuine fear, for it was a con
siderable length of time before the
engine in the waterworks could be
started. BY the time water was flow.
ing the fire had gained such Roadway
that nothing could stop it's fury.
The City Exchange bank, Ross &
Co.'S drug store and McIntire's furni,
ture emporium were occupants OF
separate buildings, and nothing re-
mains but the ruins of the former
structures. E. G. Martin occupied the
building jointly with the Ross & Co
drug store. After the water in the
mains commenced to flow it was found
that the pressure was very low and

FAILURES IN WALL STREET.
Due to Present Period Of Excited
Stock Selling.

New York, July 25.-The announce
ment on the stock exchange late yes
terday of the suspension of the firms
of Talbot ]. Taylor G. Company and
w. l.. Stow & Company, was the Sc
quel to a period of excited selling of
stocks and wide cuts in prices, which
has not been equalled before since the
present movement to liquidate set in.
There is nothing in either failure that
can be traced to business or industrial
conditions outside the exchange, the
case lying close to diagnosis of spec
ulative collapse. Both firms have been
largely concerned in speculative mar
ket pools, formed for the purpose OF
taking on a line of stocks, sustaining
their price by supporting orders real
or manipulative and seeking to realize
profits by selling out to outsiders at
the high prices Such operations
have suffered from increasing Difficult
ties with the growth in the stringency
of money, the solicitude of bankers
over loans employed in such projects
and the jaded appetite OF the public
for securities. The operations OF the
firm of w. l.. Stowe & Co. were on
large scale in Mexican Central, and
The difficulties which have accumu-
lated upon them are understood by

BODY CUT TO PIECES.
Foul Play Suspected in the Death Of
John Jones at OskaIoosa.

Oskaloosa. July 25.--John Jenkins
Jones of Beacon was killed in this
city some time Thursday night. He
was struck by the Rock Island train,
and his body torn to fragments and
scattered over two blocks along the
track. He is supposed to have had
money. Foul play is suspected, and
the police are investigating. A be
lated pedestrian stumbled over a
piece of the body lying on the track
at 1870 yesterday morning. The &C
cident must have happened about 10
o'clock, by the last train on the track.
The body was terribly mangled, being
decapltated, the arms and legs sew
cred, the trunk cut in pieces, and the
body denuded of clothing and shoes
Bits of flesh were scattered for a
thousand feet Deceased was mem.
Der of an old family of the county.
He was in the city Thursday to attend
the races. The body was identified by
statement of work done for the
Raven Coal company. No money was
found in the clothing. He was with a
number of companions late in the
evening. 1t is thought he started
home afoot, and was possibly as.
saulted. The affair has created con-
siderable excitement among his
friends, and careful investigation is
demanded. The crew OF the Rock
Island train supposed to have hit the
man was unable to throw any light
upon the mystery.

PAPER FACTORY FOR IOWA.
New Company Formed In Chicago Is
Looking for a Location.

Des Moines, July 25.--John A. Page,
| wholesale paper dealer of Chicago,
| visited in Des Moines, and while here
he outlined project which, although
| it is as yet but mere suggestion,
| may result in the establishing in this
city of new industry and the locat-
| ing here of an immense paper manu-
| featuring plant.
AS a result of recent invention by a
| Chicago man named Sherwood, a
stock company, capitalized at &c..
| 100000, has been formed, with it's
headquarters in that city, for the pur-
pose of manufacturing paper OF all
grades from corn stalks. The success
| of the new invention, a machine
which prepares the corn stalks for
manufacture into paper, has been per-
fectly demonstrated, and repeated
trials have shown that the paper can
be manufactured in commercial guam
titles at cost far under that of the
old process. This new company has
not as yet established a plant, but is
organized, under the name of the Ma
tional Fibre and Cellulose company,
and is preparing to erect a plant and

large scale Immediately, and is now
considering the matter of location
for this new plant.
Mr.. Page. who is very much inter-
ested in the new company, stated that
the question now under discussion is
whether it would be more advisable
to locate the plant in the east, and
ship the raw material there, or
whether it would not be better to
place the plant in the midst of the
corn growing districts, where the raw
material would be close at hand, and
ship the finished product to the east
ern markets. Mr.. Page, himself, is in
favor of the latter scheme, as being
more economical and satisfactory in
every way, if only a position can be
secured where there is plenty of corn,
plenty of COAL and good transporta-
ton facilities, and, as he says, Des
Moines answers all these requirements
in an ideal manner

TOOK MEDICINE SAMPLES.
As Result They Were Made Deathly
Sick for Some Time.

Mason City, July 24-The evil of
distributing samples of patent medi-
cines about the streets was made ap.
parent yesterday when a circumstance
occurred which nearly resulted in the
death of one boy, while second was
very sick for time. The man who
distributes this particular medicine
was in the city, but he used very poor
judgment in engaging a lot of little
boys to help him. In one part of town
the two little tots alluded to were
given several sample packages. They
were not old enough to know better
and the medicine in the form of pills
having a sweet flavor, they were hav-
ing regular candy picnic. Bye and
bye one of them got sick and he went
to where his mother was. She saw
something was the trouble and sent
for a doctor. The doctor came and af-

time he was out of danger. While the
enc boy was getting better the second
boy commenced to feel badly in the
vicinity of the stomach and he had to
be attended to at once. Both boys are
all right now, but the physician says
that it was a close call.

TWO KILLED BY TRAIN.
William Iawlar and Miss Murphy Meet
Violent Death.


RalstOn, July 27.-Zora Murphy
aged -, and William Lawlar, aged 81,
both Of whom livel with their parents
near Scranton, were struck and al
most instantly killed at 2 a. m, by
an extra gravel train on the North
western at this point. The train was
in charge of Conductor T. A. Zingen-
fus. How it happened that Lawlar fail
ed to see the oncoming train is a
matter of conjecture as for distance
OF quarter of mile the track is
visible for four miles to the east.
Engineer Zingenfus stated that he did
not know when he struck the buggy
He said: Il did not know of the &C
cident until we had passed the spot
| stopped as quickly as | could but
at that we had to walk back half d
mile. We were going very rapidly
getting up speed to climb the big
grade into Ralston.
When the train was finally stopped
and the crew got back to where the
dead lay, they found the horse fully
one hundred feet to the westward of
the road. About half way between
was the body of the girl. A few
feet nearer the road was the body of
the man, every bone broken. Death
in both cases must have been almost
instantaneous. The couple had been
at dance in Ralston and were going
back to their homes near Scranton.
The parents of both are well to do
farmers.
Coroner Patter and the jury he EN-,
panelled rendered the following YER
dict: That said William Lawlar and
Fora Murphy came to their deaths by
injuries received while crossing the
c. & N. w. railroad crossing east
of Rolfe on the morning of July 25."

FLEETS READY TO FIGHT.
Alarming Story Sent Out Regarding
Situation as to Corea.

London, July 24.-The Daily Mails
Toxic correspondent sends rather an
alarming view of, the situation in the
east to his paper. He says that
Russia's retention of Manchuria, the
increase of her fleet, the despatch of
reinforcements to Manchuria, the
southwark movement of the occupying
army in Manchuria and the defiant
conduct on the Corean frontier alarm
ed the Japanese many of whom are
convinced that it would be better to
fight now than risk the eventual loss
of Corea and the delegation of Japan
to a secondary place. He says the
Japanese are accommodating stores and
negotiating the purchase OF ships;
that a squadron is off Vladivostock, to
which port Russian vessels have been
sent as a precautiOn, and that both
fleets are ready for action at any mo-
ment. He says a perusal of the ST.
berian press reveals the aggressive
spirit of the Russian military party;
that the Russians believe they will
lose prestige if they give way now
with the result, that their far eastern
empire will be lost and Japanese in
fiuence will become predominant. The
appointment of Marquis Ito as presi-
dent Of the privy council, the CORE
spondent says, is favorable to peace
but that Russia must retreat or there
will be very grave danger of war. He
says the Japanese believe that France
and England will join in the expected
conflict, which diplomatists at Toxic
think might, if once begun. continue
for years, involving disastrous results
to Russia and France and the creation
of a sort of Balkan difficulty in Corea.
He adds that confidence is shown on
the Angli-Japanese.
The Standards Tien Tsin CORE
spondent says that since the fifteenth
of this month there has been an inces-
SAINT increase in the concentration of
Russian forces at Port Arthur and
elsewhere, many who were ostensibly
emigrants being in. reality soldiers.
He adds that there is not the slightest
evidence that Russia intends to with
draw or moderate her policy.
