Resident of Charlton Donates
Ancient Type of Engine to
Iowa Sta.c College
PRESENT TO MUSEUM
Tho Locomotive is Quite Curiosity,
Being Unlike Any Typo In Use To-
day-comes as Gift From Mrs. Jesse
Mallory Thayer-History of its
Ownership.
Special to Times-Repupllean.


Ames. Feb. 4.-Tho mechanical en-
gineerns department of the Iowa State
College recently received an addition
to it's museum collection In the form
of an old and ancient type of loco
motive. 1t comes as the gift of Mrs.
Jessie Mallory Thaycr, OF Charlton
the college in any form. EARLY in the
fall President A. b. Storms received
u communication from Mrs. Thayer,
offering the engine to the college il
they had II suitable place to put it..
In this letter Mrs. Thayer said:
I'VE have in the c., Il. & q. shops at
West Burlington an old locomotive of
peculiar and antiquated design, belong
ing to my late fathers railroad outfit
We intended to have it scrapped but
Master Mechanic Carney insists that
the engine is unique and that 1t is II
pity to destroy it for old iron. l am
greatly interested in the college at
Ames, and before deciding the fate of
the engine l wish to know II you have
u place and would like the engine.
Purdue is anxious to have 1t but we
would rather see the old Iowa placed
in her own state If possible.
The engine is unlike any type that
is in use today and is Il curiosity. 1t
is three foot, narrow gauge Forney
type. having outside valve motion and
the driving wheels and cylinder on 4
truck separate from the boiler, which
is contrary to more recent methods
of construction. 1t is equipped with
the old fashioed funnel stack, small
drivers and tenders and q headlight
seemingly out of all proportion to its
weight. 1t is in bad stat. of repair,
the woodwork being rotted and smash
ed, and the metal rusted In spots, but
comparatively small expense in the
repairing and paint which 1t will re-
ceive. will add much to it's appearance.
The c., b. &. @. and the G.. & N. w.
roads transported 1t to Ames free of
charge. 1t was at one time the prop
erty of the Denver & Rio Grande. From
castings on different parts of the en-
CINE it will be observed that it has
also been the property Of the Union
Pacific, Denver & Gulf Railway, also
Of the Denver and South Park rail-
way. Mr.. Mallory bought the engine
and used 1t in the laying Of the double
track at Red Oak.

dent which occurred on Flower creek
hill, IL mile and Il half north of Aug
usta, Wednesday afternoon. BY many
of those who have accepted is as the
truth, Fields is censured for permitting
the fearful death which overcame his
companion.
BY others. since the facts have come
out that the man and woman were not
married, but that they We're roaming
aimleSsly about the country, and pos
ing as husband and Wife, even graver
charges are heard against Fields In
connection with the womana death.

-
Ames, Feb. Andrew Kitchen, a
well known and highly respected far
mer residing southwest Of town, has
been declared insane and has been
taken to the asylum at Clarinda There
Is something more than ordinarily
strange about the Sc as at times he
he seems to possess no reason what
ever. He has been before the insane
commissioners of Boone county twice,
but each time they failed to find him
insane, While suffering from derange-
ment Tor some time, not until lately
has it been thought necessary to con-
fine him in the asylum. The trouble
1s thought to arise from injuries sus-
tained in runaway this last summer.
when he received some severe injur-
les to his head. When taken before
the insane commissioners he would
answer all questions satisfactorily and
seemed to be as sane as the ones on
the examining board. He was aware
when these spells were coming on him
and know that he was subject to them
but could not throw them Off. Re-
turning to his home after he had been
before the commissioners he made an
attempt to take his life, and but for
the timely aid of some members of
The family would have been dead. Go
ing to the kitchen he placed rope over
the posts of a clothes rack and then
adjusted the moose that he had made
arounj his neck. He had made such
threats before, but had never gotten
so near Deaths door. The sheriff was
notified by the family that they did
not care to be responsible for his ac-
tions longer and 1t was thought best
to remove him where he would receive
special care and treatment. He made
no resistance and placed his business
in other hands. Kitchen was willing to
accompany the sheriffs as far as Boone
but here he became almost unmanage-
able. When placed on the train it be-
came necessary to strap him to the
seat to hold him.

Council Bluffs, Feb. 4.--lterself re-
married without the previous formal
ity of securing legal separation, Mfs.
Grace w. Huston is now the PLAIN
tiff in a suit to have the union between
herself and Guy F. Moyes formally an
nulled, Tho she has been for u year
past the wife Of another man. she has
never until now asked for the dissolu-
ton Of her former marriage ties. She
claims, however, that the marriage,
with Moves was not binding, for the
reason that when he espouscd her he
already had a wife. The case involv-
es the question whether woman
whose husband has committed bigamy
by wedding her can be deemed to have
committed the same offense when she
marriea again.
The plaintiff and Moves were join
ed in matrimouy in this city two years
ago, but soon afterward she learned
that another woman, Elsie Moves, had
prior claim on his affections. The
second wife urbraded her spouse and
he left her. Later she received court
from Elijah Huston and they We're
married. Now some doubts have en-
tered the minds Of the couple as to
their status under the law, and the
present suit is brought to remove all
question regarding their relationship.
The Whereabouts of Meyer at pres
ent are not known. His first and legal
wife was in the city about the time of
his departure, and it is supposed they
went away together. No attempt has
ever been maze to prosecute him.

INTERNAL REVOLT FEARED
UNITED STATES PREPARES FOR
WORSE THAN BOXER UPRis-
ING IN CHINA.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The president
and secretary of state are seriously
concerned over the situation In China
where oil the signs indicate that an
internal revolution Is about to occur.
Unless the situation Is quickly con
trolled by strong hands trouble far
more serious than the Boxer war Is
expected.
The Boxer disturbance was confined
to one province, but the present threat
ened uprisings spread through Canton
Shanghai and other sections where the
foreigners are numerous.
The administration Is preparing for
an early outbreak and an increase Of
troops in the Philippines has been or.
dered. When the Boxer outbreak oc
Cured this government was badly han
dicapped by not having an armed force
ready to send to the relief Of endan.
eered Americans. This condition will
not be repeated.
Advices from American consuls In
China indicate that the people are get
ting away from the vicerOys.
