BURG0MAsTERs ENTERTAIN

BRUSSELS. Aug, 19.-There is great
indignation in Belgium because of the
scandals resulting from the official ban
quets held at the recent national festi-
walls IN this city.
Immediately after the banquet given
to all the burgomasters Of the country,
it was whispered that scenes had taken
place in the banquet hall which de-
fed all description, but an attempt
was made to bellttle the affair.
A lawsuit against the worthy heads
Of Belgian towns and cities has, how
ever. been begun. which proves that the
rumoTs were true. III Charles Smedt.
the owner of the restaurant where the
banquet was held. has sued the u1uni-
cipaiity of Brussels for damages.
He states that the festive civic digni-
taries were responsible for 1,246 broken

If it IS actually proved that large

inspector from the Soctetv FOR the Pre-

ed the master of the hounds, with the
result that he was sentenced to a

The sentence has been much discuss

exhibited by a man whose education

such cruelty Impossible, demands an
even heavier sentence than that which

One OF the clevevest detectives Of the

ent in England no less than $500 persons
engaged in adding 10 the money Of the
realm in circulation, and nearly two
thirds of that number are operating Ia
London. where the number Of prtvats
minis, he says, is probably not far
short of one hundred. Why the PROBES
sion should prove so attractive he is az
a loss to understand, as the profits are
after all very small Roughly speaking.
ne considers that only about 3 per cent
OF these people are actually engaged In
die making or coming. The others, many
of whom are women, are employed in
passing the false money when 1t e
made.

Judge Evans In the case involving the
custody Of the minor child of Mrs.

The case was tried at the August term
Of court and Judge Evans took the
matter unde' advisement. BY the
decision the mother Is given custody OF
the child, but the court provides in
the decision that the father shall have
opportunity to visit the child at any
and all reasonable times and also that
the child shall not be restrained In
any way from visiting the father. The
decision will generally be regarded as
fair to both parties. Mrs. Wisner
Crockett was the widow OF the late @.

Something About the Collection
Made by Mr.. A. N. Harbert,
of Shcllsburg
HAS COST VAST SUM OF MONEY
Only scven Copies In Existence of Ono
of the Rarest of These Books, and Of
Another, There Is Only One othor
Known copy-Represents the Work
Of Ten Year.
Special to Times Republican.

Hampton, Jan. 4--Aside from the
state historical library MT Des Molnes,
undoubtedly the best collection OF
books and papers on Iowa history IS
owned by A. NJ. Harbert, Of Shellsburg.
Mr.. Harbert possesses a largo number
of volumes of this literature which are
not to be found in either private or
public libraries, and they represent the
best part of ten years work on the
part of Mr.. Harbert. The entire collec-
ton consists of about six hundred
books and pamphlets relating directly
to tho history of Iowa, also photo
graphs, official and autograph letters
OF prominent men Of tho state. Many
of these have been wanted by the diff
ferent historical collectors and for
which Hon. Charles Aldrich, curator of
the historical department of Iowa,
would be willing to pay q good price.
One of the rarest items in MI. Har-
bert's collection is Il book OF which
only seven copies are known to be In
existence. This precious volume is q
little book OF only Gfty-three pages,
cheaply bound i'm blue paper covers.
1t is by Lieutenant Albert M. Lea, who
was, at the time he wrote 1t, q MEM
Der of the United States dragons.
The title of the volume Is Notes on
the Wisconsin Territory, Particularly
With Reference to the Iowa District. OF
the Black Hawk Purchase" The book
was published in 1885 by Henry s.
Tanner, at Philadelphia IAN Ioway

and Missouri Indians" prepared and
printed by Rev. William Hamilton and
Rev. s. NJ. Irwin under the direction
of the Presbyterian b. r. M. Ioway and
Sac Mission Press. 1S4S, Is probably
the most valuable of the collection.
This little volume was evidently print
ed on the frontier and there ia only one
other known copy of the book last

Mr. A. N. Harbert is a banker at
Shellsburg. He was born on farm
near there on December 9, 1863, and Is
Of English ancestry the progenitor Of
the Harberts in America having emf
grated to Virginia In the seventeenth
century. Mr.. Harbert is lover Of
books, and he Is adding to this COL
lection all the time. No expense is
spared by Mr.. Harbert in his searches
and the present collection has cost him
many thousands Of dollars.

CHECKER PLAYERS ARRIVE.
i'he Annual Tournament Begun at
Webster City With Good Attend


Special to Times Republican.
Webster CITY, Jan. About thirty
checker players arrived In the city
Tuesday to attend the state checker
tournament which began in earnest
yesterday afternoon. This is about
twice as many as were present In the
city last year on the first of May. More
are expected today. The regular busl-
mess session of the checker players
consumed the most of the morning ana
the regular sittings were not begun
until in the afternoon.
The rules adopted will tend to make
the contest more equitable this year
than last. Last year Mr. Woods OF
Oskaloosn, won the tournament by hay
ing lost the least number OF games
This year this is changed 30 that tho
man who wins because he has lost tho
least number OF games must have
played n certain per cent of the total
