TO know that the receipts Of the

Increase of 81, ,554.09. This Is a
gain of an average of more Than
1925 90 per month. and shows
that the city must be growing a.
a very rapid rate.
The largest gain for any one
month is shown in the month e
March this year over the same

Iowa Falls, June 1S.-Will northern
Iowa furnish the next grand chancellor
of the Knights of Pythias of Iowa is q
question that will command attention
in the ranks Of that order from now un-
til the meeting of the grand lodge in
August. 1t Is generally conceded by
those in close touch with the leaders
of the order in the state that DIR. T. S.
Waud, formerly of this county, and for
many years resident of Radcliffe will
be accorded this honor, altho it is stat
ed that Judge Rice r. Bell, of Keokuk.
will seek the same honor. DR.. Waud is
now resident of Germania. Ia, and
is well known in the order with which
he has been identified for many years.
A number of years ago he was candi-
date for the position he now seeks, but
was defeated at that time after a red
hot fight during which he gained the
prominence that now accords him the
place he desires, with apparently no op-
position.

on Tuesday and the Wilson's commence

is only ruse to escape the law as the
man is under indictment for stealing

had been having trouble with his wife,
and that the, latter had sued for dt-

alimony, Allison being pretty well TO
do Allison plainly was brooding over
his trouble, but gave no intimation IT
his purpose to commit suicide. In the
evening Prindle went to the barn to do
the chores and while he was doing so
Allison secured halter and attaching
one end to rafter and the other to
his neck leaped from beam and was
strangied To death. An hour later
Prindle discovered the body. He gave
the alarm but nothing could be done
for the unfortunate man. Coroner
Lewis was summoned ard the mans
relatives notified. The inquest will be
held this afternoon. 1t is probable the
remains will be shipped back to Mill
legeville for burial. Allison gave no
hint of his intention to kill himself,
and SO far as known left no word Of
explanation. 1t is believed that the
suit for divorce and the fear that his
wife would be given pars of the prop
erty caused the old man to lose his
mental balance.

Special to Times Republican.
Cherokee June 13-VVhile digging for
gravel at Augur hill, about a quarter
of mile southeast of this city, work
men unestrthed three human skeletons.
They were found in black dirt about a
foot below the surface and were In a
fair state of preservation. From the
size and shape of the homes it is believ-
ed that the skeletons are those Of a
man, woman and child. The skeleton
of the man shows thai he was of pow
erful build The teeth save one, are still
in their sockets and were almost a
perfect set. Whether or not they are
the skeletons of Indians or white per-
sons has not been determined. Many
are inclined to think that the skeletons
are those of Indians while others think
perhaps they are those of white per-
sons who met with foul play.
Coroner Smyth was called and went
ut once to the place and took charge of
the skeletons.
