woodmen Favor a Change.

Creston, Feb. GA dispatch sent out
from this city was wrong in the state
ment made that delegates to the county
convention of the Modern Woodmen
were in favor of the policy of no
change in the method of raising and
collecting the assessments Of the mem
bers AS is we'll known, the question
of the readjustnent of the rates will
come up at the next meeting of the
head camp at Indianapolis and the del
egates to the county camps are being
selected with view Of their standing
on this question. The statement that
the Union county delegates will go
instructed against the reimbursement
plan is just the opposite of what the
situation actually is. The delegates
from this county are in favor of a
change in the present system and while
not committed to any plan are for
any that will perpetuate the order and
furnish assurance that the life Of the
order will not be threatened by an
inadequate rate. DR.. j. w. Lauder
of this county. who is a candidate for
re- election to the position of head
physician of the order might be in
jured in his candidacy by the state
ment which was inaccurately sent out
last evening. The true situation IS
given that justice will be done to that
gentleman as well as to the Union
county delegates.

The Great Western railroad COM

storing surplus coal near the round

forty to fifty carloads of coal have al

seven men have been engaged in the
work of sfoveling the fuel from the

not known, but it is thought that it
seeks to avoid trouble in case of a
strike at the mines.

DANGEROUS MIXTURE
Sumner Woman Burned Gasoline and
Kerosene Mixture In Her Lamp Be-
cause Il Made Bright Light.

Special to Times Republican
Sumner, Feb. Coll Inspector f. O..
Jackson made a discovery here this
week, which probably was the cause of
saving one IL not more lives. He in
spected the stock OF dealer and
learned that lady in the neighborhood
was deliberately mixing kerosene and
gasoline. Investigation proved the re-
port true. She was burning the COM
bined fluid in her lamp for Illuminating
purposes and fortunately so far had not
been blown into eternity. She said she
did it to make her light burn brighter.
After the contents of her lamp had been
inspected she became much excited and
promised to abandon the hazardous
practice. She was SO located that a fire
in her apartments might have caused
a conflagration that would have wiped
out half the town.

GIRL WIFE ARRESTED.
Mrs. Lille Green, of Spencer, Left Her
AGED Hubby.

Sheldon, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Lille Green
of Spencer, the young wife of former
Deputy Marshal Green, was arrested in
this place and returned to Spencer on
complaint Of her husband. who seeks
to recover possession of their child.
Mrs. Green is only 20 years OF age.
Five years ago her parents forced her
to marry Green, who was at that time
G5 years of age, while she was but 10.
He is fairly well to do and has always
provided nicely for her. They have
two children, both girls, one four years
old, and one two years old.
1t is claimed that Mrs. Green craved
the gay life and society of people of her
own age. and would have been perfect
iy happy had she been allowed to have
her own way, but 1t seems that her
husband was rather strict, so she de-
cided to leave him.
1t seems that letter from a certain
young man, directed to her. miscarrfed
and was read by her husband. This
was the cause of an open rupture, and
she left him. She took with her one
child and came to Sheldon. AT this
place she obtained employment as sec
ond cook at the Arlington hotel.
During her stay here her husband
came and tried to get possession of the
child, but the clerk refused to let him
see the child until he furnished the
proper papers.
Yesterday the sheriff came and es-
corted mother and child to Spencer,
where the trial will be held to decide
whether the mother or the father shall
have the custody of the child.

TICKETS NOT TRANSFERABLE.
JoIly's Vicious Suit Against milwaukee,
Develops Interest Decision.

Dss Moines, Feb. 6.-The supreme
court affirmed the judgment of the dis
trict court of Calhoun county in the
case of O. j. Jolly. appellant, against
the Chicago, Milwaukee Il St.Paul Rail
road company, but ordered modifica-
tons that will without doubt enable the
appellant to accept the decision philo-
sophically. The court holds that the
state law requiring railroads doing bus
mess in Iowa to pay penalty of 500
in cases where they refuse to redeem
tickets they have sold is valid. and that
where the purchaser has acted in good
faith he can recover no matter what
his animus in prosecuting the suit may
be- In the course of the opinion, how :
ever, the court INDUCES in reflections
on the character of the suit brought by
the appellant in this case that are not
entirely complimentary.
1t appears from the facts of the opin-
ion that Jolly is resident of Rand, in
Calhoun county, and that he purchased
nineteen tickets from the Milwaukee,
agent for passage between that point
and Jolly. the tickets costing II cents
each. Three days after the purchase OF
agent to have his money refunded, say
Ing that he had been unable to use
them. The agent refused to refund the
money, saying that he had no orders to
refund money after the tickets had been
out more than two DAYS. Having learned
that the law provides a penalty OF 800
against railroad companies In such
cases as his Jolly procured a number of
his friends to purchase more tickets for
him. Eight additional tickets were pro-
cured in this way. and subsequently
purchased eight more. Jolly then COM
menced suit against the railroad COM
pany, demanding the penalty of 500 for
each ticket purchased. A demurrer to
his petition having been sustained. he
appealed to the supreme court.
The supreme court holds that Jolly
is entitled to a trial on the matter of
the first three tickets purchased, and
intimates that there Is a possibility that
he may recover the penalty. but de-
clares that in the matter of the last six
teen tickets which Jolly bought he is
not entitled to recover.
