HAS LIVED A CENTURY
Mrs. Nose. Fountain, Of corydon, Was
100 Years Old the Day Before Christ
mas-Her Experience With tho In
,ecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Corydon, Dec. 28.-The Democrat of
Corydon prints a picture of Mrs. Moses
Fountain, who was 100 years old on
Saturday, together with am interesting
sketch of her life.
Few people in Wayne county know
that we have centenarian among us.
But December "a, Grandma Fountain
celebrated the one hundredth anniver-
sary of her birth. She has passed her
century mark and generously outlived
the allotted three score years and ten.
During a talk with Mrs. Fountain
she told much about the country
when she first came here in 1898. The
party she was with consisted of sew
enteen people, but there was only one
woman beside HERSELF, and she saw no
other white woman for years. They
canped on Fox river in Davis county
and We're surrounded by Indians. For
six days, while the male members of
the party were absent, the two women
were by themselves, and close by was
tribe of LOO Indians, but Mrs. Foun-
tain says she was not in the least
afraid and spent most of the time in
the Indian camp. The nearest white
settlement to this panty was sixty miles
and they went there to MILL This party
never experienced any trouble with
the numerous Indians, and they would
exchange "caMs" quite frequently.
Mrs. Fountain said she did not enjoy
eating with the Indians because they
allowed the dogs to dine at the same
table, and there were about as many
dogs as redskins. She asked an old
squaw once why they allowed this, and
the squaw informed her that dog
was just as good as an Indian. Mrs.
Fountain can recall many Indian
words, and used to be familiar to
certain extent with their language.
She said wild turkey was a favorite
dish of the Indian, and described how
it was prepared. The fowl was given
to squaw, who would roll it in mud
and clay until completely covered and
put it on hot fire to roast. After
being baked the feathers and skin
would come off with the clay, the head
was jerked off, the entrals taken out
and given to the dogs, and then the
fowl was ready to devour. Fancy
carving sets were not in fashion in
those days, and when piece of meat
was wanted it was jerked off.
When Gradma Fountain first came
| to Iowa there was a hot dispute be-
tween this state and Missouri as to
where the state line should run, and
| IL was not settled until recent wears
Mrs. Fountain is ready at any time
| for heated argument with anyone
who says tobacco is injurious to the
health. She has been smoking a. pipe
| for ninety-four years and enjoys it
| immensely. Her husband, Moses Foun-
| tain, has been dead forty-seven years,
| and she makes her home with rela-
tives in Wright township.

on the Shysters.
Keokuk, Dec.,2s.-.A, meeting of the
grievance committee of the Keokuk
Bar Association was held Thursday
night for the purpose Of considering
the adoption Of rule that will inter-
est all persons who may possibly be
treated in a non-iprofessional manner
by their legal counsel. After some dis
cussion the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That any person having
any grievance against any member OF
this bar may fire statements of such
grievance in writing with the secre-
tary of the Keokuk Bar Association
who shall forthwith place the same
In the hands of the chairman of this
committee and said chairman shall
forthwith bring the same before this
committee and 1t shall be considered
and determined whether said grew
ance shall be made the basis of sworn
charges against such attorney"
This is the first time that a resolu-
tion of this nature has been adopted
by the Keokuk Bar Association. Its
intent is to afford any one who may
feel aegrieved against the conduct OF
their counsel an opportunity of pro-
curing redress, if the allegation Is
justified, thru the fundamentally
of the Bar Association, which is inter
ested in keeping the profession upon
ais high an elevation of morals as
possible. It is stated that during the
past few years several attorneys IN
Keokuk have been guilty OF the gross
est anprofessional conduct toward Ger
tain Of their clients and fragrant In
stances of this character are believed
to have actuated the adoption of the
resolution given above.

Crazy About Marriaqe,

Atlantic, Ia, Dec. 81. - A peculiar
case came UP before the insanity COM
mission here Sunday afternoon, when
Conrad Rinehart was arraigned on a
charge of insanity. The commissioners
found him insane, and at the same time
discovered that his home Is at San
Francisco, Cal. The state board Of
control was notified of their finding,
ties of California.
For the past twenty years Rinehart
has had a peculiar hallucinatior. At
first he imagined he was betroth ed to a
young woman here and that hut for
the objections of her relatives she
would marry him. He worried The life
nearly out of her until he was induced
to go to California. In recent years
he transferred his affections to an old
er sister Of his first choice. She is a
widow named Hodge and has children
and grandchildren. He has continually
pestered her with letters, and only last
Wednesday arrived in Atlantic, deter
mined to press his suit to a successful
termination. He went to the lady's
home repeatedly and so worried her
that the result was the filing of the
informa ton against him Sunday.
At the hearing Sunday it developed
that on a previous visit here, two or
three years ago, he made himself so
obnoxious to this woman that he left
town only after being threatened with
being charged with insanity.
Yesterday he stated to a newspaper
man that he intended yet to marry
4,v
that, and even claims to have married
her twenty-seven years ago-glvlng no
attention to the fact that she was Nv
ing with her husband at that Time.
He is carpenter by trade and on all
other subjects than the one OF mar
riage seems to be perfectly sane.

NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief.

What a fortunate provision Of nature
1t is, that deprives the rose Of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. in the height Of its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering: she Is veritable
store-house Of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women. but thanks to the in
vestigations of scientists the true cause
Of hair destruction Is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpioide

GENUINE AND IrfI-
TATTON PERFUMES

Perfumes are becoming more popu-
lar every year." said A. r. Mitchell, the
representative of Detroit, Mich, per-
fumery concern. "Ten years ago the
use of these scents was exceedingly
restricted, and the use now is much
more general. AS result our sales are
much larger than they were in those
days.
1t may seem peculiar, but perfumes
are adulterated and initiated just as
baking powder and other things are.
For instance, we make high grade
carnation pink perfume from the flow
ers themselves. This, OF course, is cost
~, but the perfume retains its odor,
and handkerchief that has been scent
ed with it will retain the perfume even
after it is washed A hot iron will
bring out the odor again. Now per-
fume that is just as good to all first
appearances, and that for ten minutes
VIII have the same effect, can be made
out Of the oil of cloves mixed with al
cohol. At the end Of ten minutes the
odor will be gone. Senti-
mel.

CHIPPEWA AND CHEROKEE.

Peter Gokey, full-blood Chippewa
Indian, and Eva L. Fsurlow of Pryor
Creek, T. r., an Indian maiden Of the
Cherokee nation, were married yester-
day afternoon by Probate Judge Win
ED Freeman in Kansas City, Kan.
Both were students at Haskell insti-
tr1te, the government Indian school at
Lawrence, Kan. and their love affair
started there,
Gokey's home is at Hayward, Wis,
and his parents are wealthy members
OF the Chippewa tribe. His parents
sent him to the Indian school at Law
renee, and he finished the course and
graduated from that institution this
year. Miss Furlow would not leave 4-er
home in the Indian Territory, so Gokey
consented to take his bride back to the
land of the Cherokees and make his
home there. Both bride and groom
were well dressed and bore unmistaka-
BILE signs of culture.
In the days when the various Indian
tribes were at war with one another, in
termarriages among members Of the
different tribes were almost unknown.
AT the present time, however, 1t is not
unusual for one Indian to overstep
tribal lines for the love of another.

Her Heart is Musical.

Prof Reitter of Vienna, recently
astonished the medical society of that
city by saying that one of his pa
tients had a musical heart. She is q
woman, and ever since her fourth year
she has suffered from palpitations.
While still very young she noticed that
a harmonious and thrilling sound came
from her chest whenever she breathed,
and year or two later this music
became so distinct that any one who
was In the same room with her could
hear it. AS she grew older it became
more shrill and closely resembled a
human voice. At present this curious
music consists of only two notes, which
are described as being very sweet and
clear. Prof. Reitter and the other men,
bers of the medical society are now
studying this singular phenomenon,
and the result of their investigations
is awaited with interest by physicians

in the top of which large black ball
is suspended. Across the valley, prob
ably a mile away, is Castle hill. sur

tie. One of the large guns in this fort
ress, pointing toward Carlton hill, is
electrically connected with the ball in
the tower mile away Every evening
at o'clock the gun is fred and at the
same moment the ball falls. The device
sets the official time for all Scotland.
1T is interesting to stand on Carlton

simultaneous flash OF the gun on Cas-
tie hill and the fall of the ball close at
hand, while the roar of the gun is of
course some moments in crossing the

interesting to stand beside the big gun
at dusk to watch the ball on Carlton
hill fall just as the shot is fred. / re

The bureau Of forestry Of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
has prepared for the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition the most extensive
display it has ever made. The pur-
pose is both to illustrate the work
which the bureau is doing and to show
actual forest conditions in all parts of
the country The visitor will see
there the most impressive evidence Of
what practical forestry is, and also it's
great present and future Importance
as means of promoting the national
welfare. LAUNDERING ranks fourth
among the industries of the country,
and 1t is a matter of hopeful promise
for the permanence of the industry
and for the cause of forestry that lum-
bermen are adopting conservative for
est management in their lumber oper-
ations. That agriculture, incompar-
ably the most important of our ma
tdonal sources Of wealth, also depends
in no small degree on forestry, is not,
however, so well understood. Under
intensive methods of farming, and
with the enlargement of the cultivable
area made possible by irrigation, this
dependence will become increasingly
close. Mining and grazing, too, ma
terially depend on forestry, for mines
demand cheap and abundant timber,
and the forage which feeds most of
the western stock is one of the import
ant indirect products which under pro-
per restrictions the forest may be
made to yield. All of these relation
ships are strikingly displayed sin the
forestry exhibit at st Louis.
