Almost q Fatality.

But for the extremely for,
tunate trend Of events there
would have been a frightful
accident at Snydcr's hollow

in the death of two children.
but as it was nothing more
serious than a few cuts and
bruises and a father and mother
on the verge of nervous pros
stration resulted.
Shortly after dinner yester-
day, Mr.. and Mrs. c. {. Correll
started for Snyder's Hollow,
taking with them their two
children, one q child five years

just as they started to turn In
to the hollow at the Snyder
residence, q runaway, a horse
pulling a carriage occupied by
two boys approached from the
opposite direction and before
Mr.. and Mrs. Correll could get
to the side of the road the shaft
of the buggy struck the baby
carriage. In crashed through
the frail side of the baby car
rage, but instead of striking
the children it struck under
them, throwing both into the
air and several feet to the side
of the road, while the horse
and buggy passed over the baby
carriage, MASKING it to pieces.
DR.. Gasson was called and

heart, heartburn, water brash, gnawing
and burning pains at the pit of the
stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue
and disagreeable taste IN the mouth

The State Board of Control
has just received the annual re-
port of the first official exami-
nation of the new Iowa Odd
Fellows home at Mason City,
which was opened last May.
Mrs. j. w. Lewis is the matron.
The examiner for the board
made a visit to the institution
last Saturday. At that time
the home had received a total
of IL children, 9 of them being
over 5 years of age and attend
ing school. The children at
present attend the public school
but as the Institution grows it
is intended that there shall be
school in the home or in connec-
ton with it. The value of the
building and other property is
about $4,000. The examiner
found the Institution admirably
conducted and the building we'll
adapted to the purposes for
which they were used Ameri-
can.

"BiII" Richards as Viewed a,
Home,

1t took a jury of twelve in
telligent men just twenty-five
minutes to say at Indianola,
after a weeks investigation,
that the notorious ex-deputy
ma shall, Bill Richards, was
guilty of the Sullivan robbery
at Hamilton on the night of the
Cd of last January. There is
no doubt that the verdict thus
rendered is correct. This con-
c usion, in view Of the evidence,
appears to be inevitable, though
the defendant maintained his
effrontery to the last and
heard his fate read in the YER
dict with sneering incredulity.
Many who knew Richards hab-
its We're exceedingly suspicious
of his connection with the Ham
ilton robbery when his name,
with that of Baird, was first
connected with the crime. Not
one man in fifty in Creston or
elsewhere who had interest
enough in Richards to have an
opinion concerning him had
any confidence in his innocence
of the Hamilton crime after
he took to his heels and for
months remained in hiding.
So we say that public opinion
in Creston in the most broad
cast sense is not only satisfied
but gratified with the verdict
of the Warren county jury. Be
fore the trial it would not have
been proper to be thus frank.
The clean-cut and expeditions
work of the jury and the
promptness with which the
courts have acted to prevent
unnecessary delay in dealing
with Richards will give conf
dence in Iowa courts and Iowa
juries a wholesome uplift.

My Dear Sir: At your request
| came to this county (MissoulD
with Mr.. Writ of Council
Bluffs about 80 days ago to ex-
anime some Placer mining pro-
perty, and feel assured our trip
will result in a large financial
benefit to all who are and will
become identified with the
transaction we. are closing to-
day, (Mr. Dewell being with us)
for we have secured the finest
placer mining property, in my
judgment, in the west, and
that is saying a great deal, but
| know not too much when you
know we have bought a dupli-
cate of the celebrated Cedar
Greek Placers, from which
over ten million dollars has
been washed, and that we lie
in an adjoining gulch (Oregon)
which cuts all the gold feeders
Cedar Creek Placers have, and
in the judgment of the best ex-
perlenced placer miners it is
and must be just as rich as
Cedar Creek ground ever was,
and the further knowledge
that a side gulch cutting into
Oregon above our property
known as Grubstake paid three
men in three months Is pounds
of gold only hand sluicing, and
the fact that George Russell, a
man over 60 years of age, alone
has taken out this summer z
pounds Of gold from the ground
we have bought from him
Oregon Gulch Placer Coz which
lies below the big flat we have
bought from VIM. Connell,
known as the Adams Mining
Co., containg 100 acres and adj
ditional locations of 60 acres
more from Cornell, making
over 300 acres in both proper
ties, shows you how large and
valuable proposition we have
secured. This means a large
dividend paying property in
side of three years, as soon as
we can get into the 'Big Flat"
for we must work the ground
below first or lose it, making
this one Of the safest invest
ments in my judgment, that
any mining proposition ever
offered investors. A placer mine
is much safer, there being less
risk and results are reached
more quickly than in quartz
veins and the fact of the gold
being found above and below

of the evening, Mrs. Album re

Saturday evening on entering
the hull of Lillian Lodge No. 20
; Dau ghters of Rebekah, in this
city one saw something unusual
was o 1 hand. The room was a
blaze If electric light, and very
handsomely decorated, and eve
~ chair occupied, and standing
space filled by members of the
Order. The lodge was opened
in due form, and the ordinary
business soon concluded and the
lodge adjourned.
The hall was arranged as fol-
lows: In the center was raised
four columns about three feet
high, and on each were placed
a large and beautiful boquet of
white flowers, from each column
ribbon streamers of the apprc-
pirate colors of the order ex-
tended up to the electric chan
delier, and all together forming
a square Of light and beauty,
an arbor fit for the ceremony of
a marriage that was soon to take
place. On the west side of this
arbor were placed in a circle the
chairs for the seating of the
Immediate relatives of the con-
tracing parties. just in front
of this circle WAS the m nistar's
chair. All things now being in
readiness, Miss Amy Burbank at
the piano, and as tie music be-
gan, the parlor door was thrown
open and Rev. j. M. Williams,
of the M. 3. Church, entered
and took his position on the
west side of the arbor, and just
after him came little Miss
Grace Owen, the six year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
Owen, of this city, carrying a
wreath and the magic ring, and
took a position on the north,
then came the bride, Miss Isabel
Baker and her lady friend, Miss
Lidia Serfet, of Council Bluffs,
and the groom, Mr.. d. w.
Mccullough, and his best man,
Ora Strauss, and took their po-
sition under the bright lights
above them, and Rev. Williams
arose and in the solemn form
of the M. d. marriage ceremony
spoke the words that made e.
w. Mccullough and Isabel
Baker husband and wife.
At the close of the marriage
ceremony, general congratul;l-
lions were extended to the new
ly welded couple, and then all
were invited to the banquet nall
where the Sister Rebekah's had
prepared a repast for the occa-
sion, and about ninety guests
We're served, and a very pleas
ant social was enjoyed.
Thus another feature has been
added to the work Of the Re-
bekah Lodge by which a quiet
and beautiful wedding can be
had and friends who desire, Off
they are RebelSah's,) may wit
ness the ceremony.
Take this, the first of it's kind
in the lodge, it was both beauti-
full and impressive, and will, no
doubt, be followed by others at
no distant day. THE TINES best
wishes go with the newly we'd
ded couple.

The New Sharon Star remarks
upon the extent to which news
paper consolidation is being in
dulged in Iowa: cover at Knox
Vile the Reporter has dropped
out of existance, leaving but
two in the place, which is quite
enough. At Bloomfield the
News and Republican have con-
solidated. At Jefferson tn e
Souvenor and Bee have done
likewise. Over at Tama they
have had too many papers and
the Press was bought up by the
Herald. This means better pa
pers in all the towns mention
ed, and there are other towns,
many others that would materi-
ally profit by like changes. One
good paper is preferable to any
number of poor ones, and mer-
chants as we'll as the general
public are much better served"

A man over in Indiana has
discovered a process whereby
the boiler to steam engines will
be dispensed with. He has dis
covered a method of vaporizene
the water and has taken out
government patents on his inven-
ton. He claims that by his pro-
cess the steam is made as fast
as used, without the aid of a
boiler.
Times are changing. The
doctors have succeeded in re-
moving mems stomachs, and now
dispense with the steam boiler

one will find a substitute for wa
