E. H. Hadley of Des Moines, and

memory of whom the tablet is given,
are as follows:
Timothy Brown, who was buried in

THE THIRD FAILURE
WAPELLo COUNTY OLD SET
TIERS, ASSOCIATION POST
PONIES PICNIC.
Three Times Has the Attempt Been
Made Only to Be Baked by Rain
Efforts Will be Made to Pacify the
Weather Man Before Next Attempt.
From FRIDAYS Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
''The third times a charm" is an
adage that has been handed down from
generation to generation. In the days
gone by it's truth was more generally
given credence than at the present
time. The officers of the Wapello
County Old Settlers association have
been firm believers in the adage until
today and it was this belief that NOV
ed them to set third date for their
annual reunion and picnic after the
event had been twice postponed on ac-
count of rain. But now the truth OF
that trite sentence is discredited. The
third trial was made and the result
was the same as on the previous days.
The only difference is that it rained
harder today than on the former &C.
casions.
Pioneers are "Hoodoed."
A "hoodooY seems to have turned it's
attention to the old settlers. Last
fall most extensive plans we're made
/ for the picnic. A pleasing program
was arranged and special car was
provided to take the Ottumwa crowds
to Agency. Then it rained and the
sued q bulletin that there would be
no picnic. 1t did not rain in the east
ern part of the county, however, and
a large crowd from that vicinity gath
cred at Agency The principal speak
ers were not there but a pleasing i'm
promptu program was carried out and
enjoyed even if the Ottumwa old set
tiers were not in attendance.
The Previous Attempts.
T This year the old settlers from OF
I tumwa and vicinity decided not to
miss the event and when it was an
nounced that the reunion would be
held on August 81 a special car was
arranged for and plans made to take
q large crowd from this city. Then
1T rained and September Is was Sc
1ected as the date for the second at
tempt. 1t rained again and the asso-
citation almost gave up in despair.
However, third date was chosen and
notices were sent out that on Oct.
today the picnic would be held in
spite of the two previous failures. 1t
was realized, however, that the event
was "hoodoed and, thinking perhaps
that it was because of the special car
this convenience was dispensed with.
No Picnic This Year.
This morning opened cloudy and
zbr-. $50 o'clock drizzle had
started. At $3.50 O'Clock it seem
ed that a cloudburst had turned loose
and it was then seen that picnic TO-
day was an impossibility There will
be no more trials made this year it has
been announced. The weather man
has evidently placed the old settlers on
the unfair list and there is no need OF
trying to hold picnics until his good
graces have been regained. Next year
may bring drought and then the Old
Settlers association will be called into
play to bring rain.

NO THIRD HossAcK TRIAL.
Famous Murder Case Will be Dismiss
ed at Last.

ed at Last.
Indianola Oct. 2.--An effort is being
made to have Judge Gamble dismiss
the murder case pending against Mar
garet Hossack, who has twice been
tried-once in Warren and once in
Madison county That the county at
torney, failing to induce Judge Gamble
to dismiss the case himself, will file
a motion to dismiss very shortly, is
generally expected.
The supervisors of Warren county
have adopted a resolution asking that
all further prosecution Of Mrs. Hos
sack be dropped on account of the
great expense of the trials which War
rem county must bear. A communica-
ton to this effect has been sent the
county attorney, and as public senti-
ment has largely veered around in fav-
{ or Of Mrs. Hossack, the case will prob
ably be stricken from the calendar at
an early date.
Mrs. Margaret Hossack, aged 70, was
arrested a couple of years ago on the
charge Of numbering her husband. She
was tried before Judge Gamble in In
dianola and found guilty of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to the
) penitentiary at Anamosa for life.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court and the case was reversed, main.
ly on account Of the intoduction OF
II grewsome exhibits and the courts in
structions.
The second trial was held in Winter
set, a change of venue being granted
but the jury disagreed and was unable
to reach verdict.
Mrs. Hossack is now at liberty or
$4,000 bond.
