D. B. Dusenberry of Carl, Iowa,
was here yesterday looking up the
flour mill proposition. He pro
poses locating water power at the
falls. Mr.. Dusenberry seems to be
very much interested in the prop
osition and thinks the opening here
good one. If he finally concludes
to put in mill he will ship in
carload of fall wheat and sell it out
to the farmers for seed. think
the gentleman means business, and
it surely means many hundreds of
dollars to settlers of Long valley.
A representative of the Boise
valley nursery has been selling fruit
trees, ETC., in this part of the valley.
In recent conversation with your
correspondent he said that while
the orders he was receiving were
not generally very large yet nearly
everyone he saw ordered few trees
and berry bushes. This he thought
was very encouraging, for if the ex-
periments are successful it will
open the way to quite an extensive
business in his line.
Freight continues to come in for
The Patterson Go. and they must
be selling goods pretty fast or they
would have them stacked up by the
side of the road, for their building
is not very large.
We are grieved to learn of the
sudden death of Mr.. Coonrod. He
was one of the old timers and was
we'll known and respected by all.
To the bereaved family we extend
our sympathy.
Haying is progressing nicely.
The yield will be good generally,

she might return to an old sweetheart
enue, East ST. Louis, but formerly OF
Tulare, California, was astonished to
find himself charged with abandon
ment and Indignantly surprised when
he was locked up for the alleged Of
tense.
The story of Lowney's marriage to
Mary Clary of 4345 Hunt avenue, ST.
Louis is one of the strangest ever
heard by the police of East st. Louis
department, as it involves a romance
begun in the columns of matrimon-
ial paper and ends in the incarcera-
ton of a man who duplicated the cele-
brated act of John Ruskin, the great
writer, who gave his wife up to Sir
John Millais, the painter because she
loved the artist better than her old
lord and master.
1t was from a Toledo paper devoted
to matrimonial exchange correspond
ence that Lowney says he selected the
description Of a girl he thought would
suit him as a partner for life.
II answered that little adj said

reply from just across the river in
East st. Louis After a weeks cor

sweetheart, or I should not have won
her from him. Our courtship was
very brief and l asked very few ques-

"But my heart was touched by tke
sincere sorrow of Mary for her jilting
of the other man, so proposed that
we separate, she to go back to her
first love; to go on as before l met
her. She at last consented to this
plan, for she realized that with me
there never could be real happiness
for either of us with the shadow OF
that insane sweetheart always before
our minds.

HAD QUITE A TRIP.
Master Harold Francis of MT. Pleas
ant Has Exciting Experiences.

The Mt. Pleasant Journal tells in
the following paragraph how Master
Harold Francis of Mt pheasant missed
meeting his father, Prof Francis in
Amana:
Master Harold Francis the year
old son of Prof and Mrs. Bruce Fran
els had quite an experience Saturday.
He left here in the afternoon for OF
tumwa, expecting to go from there
to Cedar Rapids over the Milwaukee
and join his father for trip into Can
ada. Prof Francis had gone to
Amana to meet the lad, and not find
made efforts to locate the lad. 1t was
finally found that he had not gotten
off at Ottumwa and had been carried
to Corning, about seventy-f1ve miles
this side of Council Bluffs. The con-
ductor evidently thought that the boy
was travelling with relatives and did
not inquire his destination. Harold
did not know the train had passed OF
tumwa and the conductor did not dis
cover his mistake until Corning was
reached. There the boy was placed on
the east bound train and brought to
Ottumwa and transferred to the Mil
waukee depot Prof. Francis later
had him placed on the Burlington
train and he passed through here at
3:15 Sunday morning on his way to
Cedar Rapids by way of Burlington
He finally reached his destination
safely after travelling about 600
miles,"
