one unfortunate was wearing
a smart silk coat with an over
loaded hat and q heavy skirt with
long train. which she was painfully
holding up In addition to this she car
ried a sunshace and a couple Of small
parcels which kept slipping. The result
was that her face wore that worried,
strained look which used 10 be COM

way
There is only one time when the
trained skirt is proper and suitable
namely. when the wearer is going
somewhere and takes the car there and
back. The very smartest women are
wearing short skirts on all occasions

BY short skirt ] don't mean that
ungainly length showing ugly feet
which we have been accustomed to
associate with the term short. I mean
a skirt which is made in front as long
as usual. but in the back is minus the

OLDEST IOWA MAN DEAD.

if not the Oldest man in Iowa, died at
Quasqueton at the age of 104. He was
a resident of Iowa forty-eight years.
Mr.. Washburn possessed retentive
memory, and could relate many inter
esting incidents of his early life,
home and the war of 1872 He was a
staunch republican, and voted that
ticket ever since the organization of
the party. He was born six months

A PONY KEG SATISFIED.

A coupe that were married at Ida
Grove last week played good prac-
tical joke OH a.charivari party. The
bridegroom was called out and told
that nothing but ''pony keg" would
satisfy. He agreed that tie request
was the proper thing and said he had
anticipated it. A keg was rolled out
and the party went to convenient
place TO partake of its contents. When
the keg was tapped it was found that
the party would have to drink the
health of the newly married couple
with water, which is very unpopular
beverage in Ida Grove.

MESSENGER DEMENTED.

W. II. Fish, express messenger on
the Milwaukee between Des Moines
and Spirit Lake, became temporarily
deranged while on the trip south We'd
nesday night. At several of the sta
tions he refused to receive express and
at others refused to deliver. Be-
tween stations he amused himself by
shooting in the car. Word was sent
to Des MONIES and, upon the arrival
OF the train at the Union station
Officer Riley of the Des Moines Union
special force was waiting to take
charge of the demented man. After
severe struggle. in when Fish -four
ished and snapped revolver at sever
al people, he was subdued and turned
over to the agents of the express COM
pany, who finally got him quieted.
The cause of his trouble is supposed
to be excessive religious zeal. For
some time it has been known to the
agents OF the express company that
Fish was something of fanatic. but
it was not thought that he was dan
gerous. Had his gun been loaded
there would undoubtedly have been
one or more fatalities. Not only did
Fish aim directly at the breast of
one man. but aimed several times in
to the crowd which had gathered
about his car, Later he attempted
suicide by cutting the arteries of his
wrist with piece of glass.

ASKS RECEIVER FOR COURIER.

The New Hampton Gazette says
The troubles between M. l.. Opdycke
and r. II. Fairbairn, who have been
running the Courier the past two
years, came to focus last Saturday
when Opdycke filed a petition asking
for receiver for the property. His
petition alleges in part:
THAT there are bitter and irIecon-
cilable differences and difficulties ex-
listing between the plaintiff and the
defendants which cannot be adjusted
and which render the continuance of
the firm detrimental to the interests
of the parties. +"
" y The management of said
partnership is attended with increas-
ing and unnecessary expense and the
business of said firm and its good will
are suffering serious loss by rea-
son of the differences existing be-
tween said parties. -
