time, as was proved by. her almost i'm

family dwelling, 1856 Mission street, she
further averred, Mr.. Hughes violently
cast her forth, and that's why she had
him arrested.
Mr.. Hughes then informed Judge
Fritz that Miss Morris complaint was
foundationed in falsehood and propped
by fabrication. For years, he said, she
had been the bane of his life and was
endured only because she was his wife's
sister She had been placed by him in

The Origin of Xmas" i.

While we think it in poor form to
use the word, it may interest some
people to learn the origin of the word
Xmas" so often used in place of the
full word Christmas In the early
days of Christianity che cross, as now,
was the sign of the religion. 1t was
used almost entirely in place of the
word Christ" the object being to
conceal the real meaning of the in
scriptions and letters the converts
wrote. Thus came the word Xmas, -
the tx" standing for "Christ" and
the suffix standing for a service, the
same as the common word "mas. "
In the catacombs the word "Xtianity"
is often found. in the same way. AS
the church grew older. and persecu-
tions ceased, the form was retained
from custom and for convenience. I'M
til now the origin is lost save to the
student who may stumble across it,

A Scientific InterrOgat0ry.

A rather amusing incident occurred
in the court room Tuesday in which
W. L. Eaton OF Usage and juryman
were the central figures. They were
securing jury for the case of State
VS.. Crooks, and Mr.. Eaton asked the
man in the jury box if he had "any
conscientious scrupies against the
doctrine of circumstantial evidence.
The young man assumed wise atti-
tude, but through the thin vale of
pretended wisdom it was very plain
to be seen that the attorneys ques-
ton was not understood. He hesitated
o moment and then replied that he
knew what doctoring" was, but he
was not sure about the other big words.

Remarkable Operation on a Cow.

Opening cows stomach, removing
two bushels of corn and then closing
the stomach and saving the cows life,
was the feat performed in Webster
+ City last week. On Tuesday night
the animal got loose in the barn and
broke into the corn box. With no one
to modest her she filled herself to her
content. 1t was surprising the amount
OF corn she slowed away in her capac-
ious interior. When finally gorped
until she could eat no longer, the COW
desisted in her Thanksgiving feast,
and was found in the morning with
distended sides. The empty corn box
told the tale to Mr.. Rushmeyer. 1t
wasn't many hours before the cows
condition became serious and it was
apparent that she would surely die
from her condition. Mr.. Rushmeyer.
wishing to save the valuable animal,
sent for DR.. Williams. The veteri-
nary saw at once that the only means
of saying the cows life would be to
remove part of the contents of the
stomach. Accordingly the operation
was performed. The stomach was
opened on the top near the back bone
and two bushels of corn were removed.
The wound was then closed, the COW
standing during the operation. To-
day the animal shows every sign of
Improvement and is eating again.
There is every prospect of the animal
living after til. unusual operation.

tire change of faction would fill the

the field for that purpose. MIR. A.
Jay Miller was candidate for Presi-
dent on one ticket and Vice Presi-
dent on the other. lie was elected
President, defeating Mr.. l. n. Z.ar-
ing by three votes. Mr.. J. e. Brand
was elected Vice President. Capt.
]. d. Inskeep was elected Treasurer
without opposition, being on both
tickets, and the appointing commit
tee couldn't have done better.
When the votes were counted for
Secretary, the candidates whose
names were printed on the tickets
were defeated by Mr.. George 7.
