LOOK OUT
FOR ROCKS
A SALOON MAN so FAR FORGOT
HIMSELF.

There is a man in this town, toler-
ably we'll known, who gets on sprees
occasionally, and when he doe he
spends a great deal of money unnec-
essarily, and gets into a lot of other
promiscuous trouble. Now, this mans
wife, who is a very highly respected
woman, by the way, mad up her
mind as to the course she was justi-
fed in pursuing, and accompanied by
a friend, vent to every saloon keeper
in town and forbade him doing what
the law long since forbade, namely,
to sell liquor to her husband, who. in
the eyes Of the law, would be termed
a drunkard.
In every instance save one, she was
treated with entire courtesy, and her
demand was instantly given due heed
At one place, however. and this hap
pens to be a place where one would
naturally suppose she would be shown
the greatest Difference, she vas talked
to in a very insulting tanner and
little less than ordered from the place.
The woman was entirely within her
rights and the saloon man knew it.
but he was simply trying to buster
her into intimidation. Such things
do not work always, and there are
rocks ahead from which that man haG
best steer clear.

JUST FIVE.
No Older, No Younger, Must Be Chill
dren to Enter the Kinder
garter.

Mrs. NJ. B. Barr, who Will have
charge Of the public school kindergar-
ten this year, wishes it known that
only children of five years of age will
be admitted. After the closing of
school in the spring children of all
ages will be admitted to the private
school. which will continue for ten
weeks longer.
The annexation of a kindergarten
to the public school here is an limo
vation, and one that will be thorough
ly appreciated by parent and teacher.
Mrs. Barr will use two of the rooms
in her home for school purposes, and
certain hours will be given for the at
tendance from different wards. The
primary teachers are enthusiastic over
the advantages possessed by the pu-
pill who has been given the privilege
of kindergarten training. Their minds
are much more receptive as a rule.
and in a condition to grasp facts and
details with more ease and tenacity.

WOMAN SEEKS HELP
FOR HERSELF AND TWO little
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES LEFT
HER TWO MONTHS AGO
AND HAS NOT RE-
TURNED.

4 pitiful case came to the ears OF
several Humane Society officials this
morning. A Mrs. Grace Lanir1s, who,
with her two small children, has been
residing in Chiefton, made an appeal
to the society this morning for money
with which to reach her fathers home
in Cambria county, Pennsylvania. She
said her husband had left their home
in Chiefton two months ago to hunt
work, and had promised to write OF
send for them very shortly, and that
she had never heard from him since.
She had waited all this time, hop
ing that he would return or write, and
had supported herself as best she
could in the meantime. Becoming ut
terly penniless, she at last grew dis
couraged and applied for help from the
people whose kindly leeds she had
frequently heard about. They regret
fully told her that they could do moth
ing for her, but wouI care for the
children if she wished to give them up.
This the mothers heart refused to
sanction. She said her people were
too poor to send her the money to pay
her fare, but wou1d assist her in car
ing for the children were she able to
reach home.
The Humane people advised her to
apply to the county for help, n as
sured her of the likelihood of their
granting the boon she craved.
The woman is a pleasant faced. at
tractive looking person, and has two
pretty little children, the Oldest be-
ing only three years of age. The man
who would desert his family and leave
them to the mercy of strangers in a
strange country is a brute, and de-
serves all that will be coming to him
takes him.

SURPRISED
THE CROWD
DID HIS HONOR THE MAYOR BY
THE HEAVY FINE IMPOSED
ON w, r.. RIGGS.

The case against w. R. Riggs for Ii
legged assault and battery and the use
OF concealed weapons, on the person
| of Charley Ross, an attache of a show
with the carnival company. was heard
this morning.
Witnesses for the prosecution swore
that Riggs did hit the man with a
blackjack, or some other like instru'
ment. Officer Fortney.. who was as
! close as any of the other witnesses for
the prosecution, did not see a weapon
of any kind.
Three witnesses for the defense, be
sides Mr.. Riggs, swore point blank
that MIR. Riggs did not s a weapon
or even strike TIE man; but instead
threw him down and kicked him, and,
three feet Of the participants. while
the prosecuting Witnesses were some
distance away.
IN the face of this testimony Mayor
Ninsey unhesitatingly m Mr.. Riggs
S20.and costs, and no time was lost
by Attorney Kirby in declaring that
he would take an appeal.
II is said that His Honor personally
hunted UP witnesses and prosecutors
to appear
The other charge. that OF assault
and battery, was reXt heard. and after
all the testimony was in and the argu-
meEts heard, His Honor took the case
under advisement and will render his
decision later. Judging from his for
mer verdict, another appeal will nave
to be taken.
The man Ross persisted in causing
trouble in lunches all the afternoon
and evening of the day of the occur
renee in hic Mr.. Riggs was mixed,
and as he CRiggs) has acted in con-
junction with officers o. innumerab!e
occasions heretofore, many persons be,
eve Riggs acted perfectly right in
trying to suppress the row Ross was
having with the show people, and in
view of the grief he was causing a girl,
and that his actions during the scrim-
mage were entirely in self-defense.
Fine Reduced.
Mayor Kinsey has reduced the fine
for carrying and using concealed
weapons to $40 and costs.
When Attorney Kirby was seen in
regard to an appeal he stated that an
appeal would be, taken in any event,
whether the fine was the maximum or
the minimum.
In the assault and battery case His
Honor has reached no decision as yet.

CHEAT RIVER
is AGAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
DEATH OF a YOUNG MAN
YOUNG WOMAN BARELY
ESCAPED DROWNING
AT SAME PLACE.

News came yesterday of a very SAD
drowning in Cheat River near Mt.
Chateau. A young man by the narne
pany with another young man, ar
rived at the hotel on Friday to remain
over Sunday. Saturday afternoon he
invited a young lady staying there to
go in a canoe with him IN the river
A false move by him caused the canoe
to upset when they were some dis
lance from the bank, and they were
| thrown into the water. Mr.. Lyons
was an expert swimmer, but he would
not leave the young lady, who was
frantic with fear.
The boat kept turning over n
over and would not support their
weight. Hearing their cries, another
young man swan to the rescue n
succeeded in getting the young Wom-
an, who was almost exhausted, to the
shore. Mr.. Lyons was too nearly
spent at this time to attempt to swim
the distance himself, and When the
friend came back to help him, lost his
head and struggled SO frantically that
there was imminent danger of both
men being drowned.
In order to save his W life, the
other young man, whose name we
were unable to learn, was forced to
abandon his friend, who sank like a
stone Immediately afterward.
The water is about forty feet in
depth at that place and SO black that
it is impossible to see any distance
in it. The bottom is strewn with
large rocks and boulders, making it
very hard to drag with any success.
Dynamiting was resorted to yester-
day, and if the body vas still unrecov-
cred to-day a diver was to attempt its
recovery. The home friends of the
young man were notified n were to
have arrived last night

Adoption of the Short Schedule
Brings to an End the
FURRY In the League
DODGE sET-To
JansIng Ceases and the Old Schedule
of 112 Games is Accepted With
sportsmanlike Grace - Things That
Have Been Heard Concerning 1t Il
Mines are Shaping Themselves.

The one important happening In
base bah in Iowa during the week, and
that really means in the doings of the
Iowa State League, has been the
adoption of the seasons schedule. Now
that it IS all over those who have held
at all times the best interests of the
circuit at heart Will breathe easier. The
majority rule has been accepted as
final, which is as it should be. This
matter of schedule Is due with any
league to kick UP rumpus at times.
and for a while much was threatened
with this, as yet, unrried formation of
|cities. Now that it is past and gone,
|altho distant rumbles of dissatisfaction
can be heard, things have
been brought to light that have
not been as they should. There has
been tendency toward hoggishness
in certain quarters, and unsports1nan
like action and threats In others, that
are all detrimental to the building up
of league on sure and lasting
foundation of satisfaction and good
feeling of rivalry.
These things are Il, be deplored, and
can only be explained by the anxiety
of those Interested getting the better
of their judgment and desire for fair
treatment. As was published in this
column at the time ii was made pub
lie, the short schedule is equitable and
the good things are evenly appor-
toned. This has been borne out by its
acceptance by six OF the eight clubs
The second or longer schedule, was
clearly as good, excepting that Water
loo certainly was allowed a tritie the
best of 1t at the long end. Had 1t been
less markedly so it doubtless would
have been voted for by other clubs
than the one of that city and Ottumwa.
And in that fact lies the secret of
the disagreement which has been rife.
Some of the teams, and Marshalltown's
was not one Of them, believed Waterloo
to be getting the best OF 1t. and par
tally on that account voted against it
and endeavored to get their neighbor;
to do likewise.
How much influence Waterloo.
which IS Myers, may have brought to
bear on the construction Of the Sec
ond schedule will probably never be
known. But 1t is known that what
ever leverage that city could bring
about vas exerted, and from the re-
suit it would appear to not have been
wasted. That is the reason Fort Dodge
turned down cold ard emphatic the
lew schedule, and for a like reason
Boone also voted against It, Marshall
towns ballot was purely on the merit
OF the thing. This city from start to
finish has stood for the league first
it's own club next 1t could neither
