Eldora, Jan. ga big kick has been
made by a number of the insurance men
of the county on account of the action
of the board of super visors in award
ing the insurance on the court house
without giving notice of their intention
so to do. AT the session OF the board
held this week the firm of L. N. Noble
Il Co., was authorized to write 100000
and S. Whited, of this city, $4,000 on the
court house. The present policies all
expire on Feb. 10 and most of the
agents expected to be on hand at the
next meeting of the board on Feb. 2 to
try for a slice. n they regard the
action of the board as premature.
Some attorney. who is also an insur-
ance agent, has been looking the mat
ter up and declares he has found good
law to show that the insurance written
by f. III. Noble is absolutely void be-
cause he is the present county attorney
and as such he 4 not represent he
county and the insurance companies.
too, because in case of loss the county
attorney would be the proper n to
aid he county in the prosecution and
collection Of damages.
1t is probable the board will seek legal
advice on this point, for certainly the
taxpayers of the county will want no
doubt as to the validity of the insur-
ancefon the court house.

Davenport, Jan. 24.-Is the TACT that

&c. Haugh, of this city will test the
matter in the courts of this county.
He has filed suit in the district court
against his wife, Mrs. NJ. S. Haugh.
and has made his plea on the Q
ground. In his petition. which has at
tracted considerable attention, he says:
ION or about April or May. 1900, said
defendant, NJ. S. Haugh, came under
the hypnotic influence of the religious
|fanaticism preached and practfsed by
John Alexander Dowie, ruler of Zion.
and commonly known and designated
as sDowieism.' She soon became an
enthusiastic proselyte to that sect n
she constantly adnlonished plaintiff
and conjured him to embrace the faith
.expounded in the Leaves of Healing"
and proclaimed by said Dowie, whom,
she declared to be a true prophet and
whom she heralded as Elijah the Sec
|ond.
Upon plaintiffs refusal to espouse
the cause of Dowie she announced that
she proposed going into the home Of the
Shepherd, the City OF Zion. n or or
about the 22nd day of August 1900, in
order to perfect her knowledge Of
Dowie and to better practice his teach
ings, she left the plaintiff and took up
her residence in Zion, City of Chicago,
Cook county. Ill, where she has since
resided. This defendant has continual
1y urged and requested her to return to
Him, but she has always refused to do
so, stating that God would adYise her
When the time comes for her return
to him.
Plaintiff further states that he
been advised by one of the high priests
of Dowie that 1t is one OF the cardinal
tenets Of the faith of Zion that no true
believer in Dowie shall cohabit with a
no-Dowieite, and that his only hope of
having the defendant return to him is
by becoming a Dowieite. which he will
not do"
Mr.. Haugh concludes with the state
ment that he has always been willing
to have his wife return to him and that
she has invariably refused to do so.
that she left him without reasonable
cause and that her religious views and
viii prevent their cohabft-
ing unless he espouses the peculiar
commandments of the father Of Zion.

a steer to the age of three years on
grass there at a cost of not more than
IS or $40, and no matter how cheap cat-
tie may be, he can not lose on that
basis. Mr.. Higgins raised nearly three
thousand bushels of wheat last year,
and has sowed $50 acres, which ought
to yield 5000 bushels, the present year.
We are very glad to know of his own
