FORGOT HIS WIFE.
Booze Leads to Desertion, ReconciIia-
ton and Resolution.

Town boys are telling a story on a
camp not far distant, which, If true,
bears a goodly moral. Mr.. So-and So
came to town one day last week, drlv-
ing in with his wife for the purpose
of making some purchases. Mr.. S.
left his wife and started to do some
In his rounds he met some of the
boys. Drinks were orderer here ana
there, and then more drinks, and still
more until time, distance and current
events became as one. The boys did
not know that "wifey" was patiently
waiting all this time and that she was
searching far and near for the truanr
spouse. The man seemed to stand
up well under his load and at last,
telling the fellows a good-day, he
started off home. He drove this dis
lance all right, put up his nag, enter
ed his home and retired. He awoke
next morning, somewhat later than
was his custom. He noted the alb
sence of his wife and called In the
direction of the kitchen to enquire ir
the morning meal was in progress of
preparation. Receiving no response,
he made investigation, and finding
himself the sole occupant of the DON'T
cile, ne recalled the fact that ne had
left his wife in the city the day be-
fore. He had no recollection of the
drive home, putting away the horse,
getting into the house, the rear door
of which he had left standing open
Clothing was strewn here and there
about the room in a reckless manner
that told certain tale. Telephone
inquiry soon revealed the where
abouts of the deserted lady and ex-
plantations and the squaring process
were in order. But Mr.So-andSo now
states that he is done with booze"
If it makes a man forget his wife and
all that, it win do anything, and he
will have no more of it. He will set
tie with the town tribe later.

Concerning Oskaloosa's rally to the
support of her ball club, the Ottumwa
Courier says: Holding down the
bottom rung of the percentage ladder
as if with an unrelenting persistency,
the Oskaloosa club mas never been
without the heartiest support of its
fans, and now when the news comes
that this spirit which has prevailed
from the beginning Of the season, is
to continue until the end, it carries
with it much more than it expresses.
1t means that the maiden year of the
Iowa State league will pass without
hitch that the sport next year will be
elevated materially and the. prospects,
therefore, for an increase in the
leagues finances more than bright.
Under the tutelage of Playing Mana
ger Donahue the Oskaloosa Quakers
although they are far from strong in
some of the most essential depart
ments. With an increase in the treas
ury of the association, however, a
canvas for better material will be
made, which will undoubtedly result
in a change in the percentage column
eventually. Let the enthusiastic spir-
it of the Oskaloosa fans be an exam
pie to the local members of fandom.
The Ottumwa association is in fair
condition, but the sport should be
more heavily patronized considering
the bali played by the Standpatters
and what one receives in return for
the admission fee."

Y. M. c. A. DEDICATION
The New Building at Buxton is
Opened to the Public.

Buxton, Iowa, July 6.-The new Y.
M. c. A. building, given to the people
Of the Buxton mining camp and town
by those interested in the Consolida-
ton Coal Company, was dedicated in
an elaborate service on the evening
of July Fourth. The dedicatory SER
vice was interesting and inspiring and
in itself had an influence over every
one of the eight hundred or more
souls gathered together in the large
auditorium of the building for the &C.
casiOn.
The building is not yet completed
in some of the minor details, but the
work of furnishing had so far pro-
crossed as to make the dedicatory
program possible on the day of the
nations birth.
The people of Buxton are proud of
this new institution that has been set
down among them and the occasion
has been looked forward to with
keenest interest. The progress Of
the building has been eagerly watch
ed by the town as a whole and much
of the enthusiasm engendered during
the weeks of the buildings construc-
ton had centered in the dedicatory
services which were to give this new
institution over to the uses of the
people for whom it was intended.
The large auditorium was crowded
to it's fullest capacity On the evening
of the fourth, and many who sought
entrance could not be accommodated.
More than eight hundred people were
seated and standing in the room.
Program.
l.. E. Johnson, the new secretary,
who is to preside over the building
and guard the interests of the associa-
ton, was chairman of the evening.
He presided with grace becoming
the occasion and made a most excel
lent impression with all who attended
the services. The program was rath-
er extended and elaborate, but it was
interesting in every detail and was
carefully followed by the large audi
ence.
Excellent music was furnished by
the orchestra and the band of Buxton,
an organization of which the people
of the place are justly proud. Selec-
tions by these organizations were fol-
lowed by the singing of America
led by the band.
The dedicatory prayer was offered
by Rev. J. w. Somerville, of Oska-
loosa Methodist Episcopal church.
Responsive reading by the audi

During the present year thus far

"A mob at Lamison forced Ephraim

What the facts were l know not. All
that we are told Is that the confession
was forced and the offence charged was
that he tried to attack. Another case

1t is doubtless the resultant of COM

their origin soon after the end OF the
civil war.
The election OF men to fill judicial Of
fees. in many instances of unworthy
character, bitter prejudices and with

days of 1868. had the tendency to
weaken the traditional reverence OF Lie
Southern people for the administration

ization of the Ku-Klux partly in SELF
defence against the organized negro
law-breakers, and partly as political
organization and the resort by those
bands to unauthorized means to strike
terror into turbulent negroes, and
sometimes to punish white political
agjtators, were factors OF Importance.
But 1t was not until members of the
negro race were guilty of a series of
outrages upon defenceless women in
various parts of the South that the
resort to immediate execution without
trial became common in the Southern
States.
