waterloo, Iowa. Feb. 1s.-Turned down by
one woman and overwhelmed by proposals from
other women is the fate Of George X. Bowder
of this city One hundred and twenty-six pro-
posals of marriage have found their way to
Mr.. Bowder during the past two months.
The Bowder notoriety came in manner
assuredly not pleasing to himself. About two
Years ago he became infatuated with Mrs.
Fife Hartman, widow of the late William Hart
man of the Waterloo Daily Courier. For
year he paid attention to the lady. They be-
came engaged and were to have been Welded
in Chicago and there having the ceremony per-
formed. They met, but Mrs. Hartman excused
herself for day. and when next she met, Mr..
Bowder in Chicago she presented to him a man
who she endeared with the term Of chubby"
The gentleman was E. r. Curtiss, one of the
leading merchants and citizens OF Waverly, Iowa.
Bowden took the first train from Chicago to
Waterloo and when later Mr.. and Mrs. Cur
tiss returned from their honeymoon in the east
they were greeted by an officer who served upon
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtiss notice OF suit for preach
of promise. In the suit Bowder asked for balm
for his wounded feelings, the sum OF $50 1000,
and for money actually spent upon the lady,
the sum of IS, 600.
Mrs. Curtiss and her disappointed lover were
leading society people of Waterloo The LADY
was a southern belle, and at once took social
lead when coming to this city from her south
ern home as the bride of Mr.. Hartman. Bowder
is real estate dealer, formerly of Minneapolis,
and engaged In his business Oh N1!nnesoIa anu
Canada lands Since filing his suit he has made
his home in Chicago coming to this city only
at times when necessary to confer with his at
torneys He feels his disappointment deeply.
It was while in the city recently on matters
concerning the suit for damages that Bowder
opened his grip and showed to his friends the
letters from lovelorn women. all of whom would
be pleased to become his lady love. The letters
are from all parts OF the country east and
west, north and south. from ladies rich and
ladies' Door from ladies beautiful and ladies
ugly, from leading social lights to plain house

from all directions have the letters come to
Mr. Bowder. They all tell the same story. They
have heard Of Mr.. Bowders trouble; they SYM
pathize with him, and SO deeply has his predica-
ment touched them that they are ready to in
| stantly step into the sphere kind and loving
wife.
Many Of the letters are accompanied by photos
showing the lady in her most winsome attire

others confne themselves to deliberately portray.

Special to The Journal.
Hancock, Mich, Feb. 1s.-Plans which are
likely to revolutionize the system Of handling
the water in the Calumet & Hecla mine are
being worked out by the officials In charge Of
that big copper producer. In brief. it is proposed
to dispense with the use Of bailers and install
| a method of electrical pumping part Of
the scheme of general Identification adopted
by the company. 1t is planned to handle all
the water of the mine from the No. shaft,
which penetrates to the very extremity of the
company's property and has the distinction OF
being the deepest incline shaft in the world,
the bottom workings being mile and a half
| from the surface. The electric pumps will raise
the water from station to station, discharging
it at each point into a stump from which 1t will
be taken and pumped to the next station above,
| thus serially bringing the water from extreme
| depths to surface. The distances between the
stations will be regulated by the capacity OF
the pumps which it is finally determined to
install, experiments with different makes of such
machinery being in progress. At present
practically all the water turnout the vast work
fngs Of the mine is drained or pumped to the
great Red Jacket shaft. which, sunk vertically,
| is almost a mile in depth and required some
ten years in sinking. Here it is hoisted to the
surface in two large cylindrical bailers operated
| in the middle compartments OF the sixcompart-
ment opening. By the adoption of the new
plan of electrical pumping, important ad-
| vantage gained, aside from the score of 1essened
| cost. will be that of space economy. When the
installation Of the system is completed the pipe
! thru which the water will be sent. to the sur
face will not occupy any shaft room to the
| detriment of other operations. 1t will also COM
| pletely remove the demands now placed upon
! two compartments of the Red Jacket shaft,
| those used for water hosting, and will leave
| these passageways available for handling other
material thus in the end increasing the rock
| hoisting capacity Of the mine. The mine water
coming from the Red Jacket shaft is discharged
| into sewer leading to the Calumet dam.

Helena Mont, Feb. 1S.-The Murray 1nitia-
tive and referendum bill has gone to join the
woman suffrage, licensed gambling and other
measures which were consigned by the house
to the political graveyard. This came as
climax to a spirited debate in which charges
and countercharges We're hurled with great We
hemence A plan had been formulated among
opponents Of the Murray bill to bring that meas
ure up in committee Of the whole and, after
its defeat then to take a recess In order to
permit a committee named to prepare measure
suitable to the majority. But in this the oppo.
sition figured without their host, enough OF
their number going to the republicans on
motion to adjourn to prevent divided victory.
The opposition defeated the Murray bill but In
turn revolted when it came to making any
promises whatever. $500
AS an outcome Of this action on the part OF
the house, it Is regarded as highly improbable
that the ninth assembly will enact any legis-
lation along initiative and referendum lines, the
fight having been carried to such an extreme
that all hope of effecting a reconciliation De-
tween the hostile elements has passed.
The lower branch of the legislature has passed
bill, the purpose Of which Is the restriction
of reckless and ill-advised marrying. Except
ing IN the case of the innocent party to
divorce suit brought on the ground OF adultery,
divorced persons forbidden to marry again,
but the provisions OF the bill do not prevent
the parties to the action for divorce from re-
marrying each other at any time.
