"Sre-Through the Senate, which is

HAPPENINGS In IOWA
EVENTS OF A WEEK THROUGH.
OUT THE STATE.
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars May
Be Collected by the State of
Iowa From the Estate of
James Callahan,
James Callahan,

A half million for the state of Iowa
In lump sum. That is the prospect
ahead. The state treasurer is taking
steps to see that the state gets it's
share of the vast Callahan estate left
by the late James Callahan, the rich
est man in the state, whose funeral
was held last week at Des Moines.
His estate has been estimated at from
i've to ten million dollars, largely in
stocks and bonds, but much Iowa real
estate and a large amount in mining
properties in the West and in Mexico.
The state gets per cent on all inner
itances, not in direct line. He had no
direct heirs. His wife died childless
two years ago. He has nephews and
neices scattered over the country.
They will get all save that which goes
70 charity. And on every dollar of the
inheritance other than to charity, the
state will collect the tax The will
has not yet been disclosed, but there is
no doubt the state will get from this
estate the largest sum ever received
on this special tax Mr. Callahan was
one Of the founders Of the home for
the aged in Des Moines and gave $780,
900 for that purpose. It is expected
that institution will receive fine
legacy as it is much needed. His wife
left $4,000 to Tuskegee institute in
Alabama, and similar sums to other
educational institutions, and it is ex-
rected the will of Mr.. Callahan will
duplicate these gifts.
Twenty thousand dollars to estab-
Hsh home for drunkards' wives in

James Callahan, the eccentric phi
lAnthropist millionaire. The bequest
was made known last week Mr.. Cal
lanan was a strong advocate Of tenn

Messenger Saves a woman,s Life.

One messenger boy has set prece-

along the way and play a baseball
game with other lads, or stop to read
a dime novel. The chief operator told
him to answer "call'' from 422 East
Grand avenue in Des Moines, and as
the result of his efficiency he saved
the life Of woman. Mrs. Minnie Pc
terson, who resides at that number,
wrote note to her husband, telephon-
ed for messenger boy, whom she ex-
pected to take the message from its
place on the front porch and deliver
It to her husband. She then locked
herself in her room, turned on the gas
and prepared to die. Charles Daniels,
the messenger boy, hurried to the
house and not finding the note in it's
customary place on the porch, he en-
tered the place without the formality

so long in reserve and brought out just
at this time. struck many of Mr.. JEFF
frey's closest friends as unnecessarily
dramatic; but when the coroner, lift
ing out the ribbon, remarked tentative.
ly, "You know this ribbonY we were
more struck by the involuntary cry of
surprise which rose from some one in
the crowd about the door than by the
look with which Mr.. Jeffrey eyed it
and made the necessary reply. That
cry had something more than nervous
excitement in it. Identifying the
person who had uttered 1t as a certain
busy little woman well known in town,
sent an officer to watch her; then re-
called my attention to the point the
coroner was attempting to make. He
had forced Mr.. Jeffrey to recognize the
ribbon as the one which had fastened
the pistol to his wife's arm. Now he
asked whether, in his opinion, wom-
an could tie such bow to her own
wrist, and when in common justice
Mr.. Jeffrey was obliged to say no,
waited third time before he put the
general suspicion again into words:
Can you not, by some means or
some witness, prove to us that it was
on Tuesday night and not on Wednes-
day you spent the hours yeu speak Of
on this scene of your marriage and
| your wife's death"
\ The hopelessness which more than
once had marked Mr.. Jeffrey's features
since the beginning of this inquiry re-
| appeared with renewed force as this
| suggestive question fell again upon his
ears, and lie was about to repeat his
plea of forgetfulness when the coro-
ner's attention was diverted by re-
| quest made in his ear by one of the
| detectives. In another moment Mr..
Jeffrey had been waved aside and a
| new witness sworn in.
You can imagine every ones surprise,
mine most Of all, when this witness
proved to be Uncle David.
