A.. D.
b After living with her fathers brother
for over year as his wife Icile A. Wood,
OF Des Moines, has discovered that her
marriage contract is invalid, and that
she has been guilty of offending the laws
of Iowa and Arkansas.
But q few days ago she learned her err

and refused to acknowledge him as her
husband. She has filed a petition with
the clerk of the district court asking that
her marriage be declared null and void,
and that she be restored all the rights
and privileges of woman of unmarried
estate. In Arkansas City, Ark, she
says she married her fathers brother
who Is her superior in years. She af-
firms that at that time she did not know

know that living with him in Iowa was
wrong. She does not state in her petit
ton how she became disillusionized, but
urges that she be forever separated from
her uncle and her husband.

THE DUBUQUE STRIKE.
Origin of the Trouble Between Street
Railway Men and Employers
and Final Settlement.

The activity of Gov. Cummins in
trying to settle the street car strike al
Dubuque, which resulted in mob rule
for several days, has been highly COM
mended by his friends and among the
labor organizations, despite the face
that he sent three companies OF militia
to Dubuque to defend the property OF
the street car company at state expense
He induced the street car company to
make proposition to its employees, and
the strikers at once adopted the OFFER
Then the company withdrew the offer
and notified the governor that 1t would
expect him to maintain the troops in
Its defense all summer, II necessary.
Finally the strike was settled.
The strike originated In a curious
way. A rule was promulgated by the
company prohibiting the carrying Of
dogs. Employees were directed to en-
force the rule rigidly. The daughter Of
the vice president of the company got
on q car with her dog, and the conductor
insisted on removing the brute from the
car. She complained and he was dis
charged. Two other employees Of the
company interceded for him with the
company's officers and were discharged.
Then all of the employees struck.

70 violent that the Olive street car vas
hurled Completely over on Its side, and
all the passengers piled in q heap. All
the injured were taken In ambulances to
