1900, the colonel writes: Il used a

hair, where it destroys the vitality of
the hair, causing the hair to fall out.

TALES OF TOWN.
Two Marriages; Still Separated.


When they decided to marry four
years ago he was just out of college
and was struggling for enough prac-
tice to pay his living expenses. She
held a lucrative position. They lived
in the same city. and could see each
other daily, if they wished.
They would slip away to another
city be married, and return to their
homes and withhold announcement of
the event until he was financially able
to establish her in such a some as he
desired that she should have.
1t was not intended that four years
should be permitted TO eiapse before
the wedding should be made known,
but misunderstanding arose and
there were months when they did
not see each other. Each sacredly
guarded the secret, however.
Two months ago there was another
ceremony. but Immediately after the
rites had been performed they sepa-
rated. and the story goes. they have
not spoken since. He has risen to n
place of prominence in his profession,
and she still is employed at the work
that she was engaged at when their
courtship began 10 years ago.
The young woman has revealed their
romance She said the second mar
riage was performed because there
had been such a long period inter
vened since the first. 1t was at her
suggestion that there was another
wedding. she states.
The affair has become public gos-
sip. He says that he will not live with
her. She says that she will not re
ceive him in her home. No one but
themselves knows why Both move in
the best of society. He has no other
one on whom he has been bestowing
his affections that any one knows of:
neither has she. Both appear TO be
satisfied that things remain as they
are. The wife continues in her posi-
ton. but she has told her friends that
at the end OF a year she will expect
her husband TO support her. The
courts NAV be called upon to straight
en- their difficulty.

BIGGER THAN THE FIRST ONE
Largest Finding in the State of

At 1890 o'clock last night the jury
in the A. p Huggard damage suit, af-
ter having been out seven hours, re-
turned a verdice at Davenport award
ing $32,916 to the plaintiff against the
Glucose Sugar Refining company. The
verdict is S5,416 in excess of the one
returned last November for S27.500,
and which was the largest finding by
q jury in the state of Iowa in a dam
age suit. Both verdicts break the rec
ord in Iowa.
Judge House gave elaborate instruc-
tions to the jury at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon and sent the u men out TO
deliberate over the mass of evidence
submitted in the case. With them

forthcoming on demand. at least a
portion of it. But the young man
found that he was not accommodating
money at the rate that he expected
that he would be able to, now that he
had settled down to sweet dOmesti-
city. and passed up the little pleasures
that were so costly when he was trav-
cling singly
When the house was done the con-
tractor presented his bill. He was in
formed frankly that there were no
funds on hand. The young man said
of course he intended paying for the
work, but that the contractor would
have 10 bide his time. This indefi-
mite assurance rufIled the builder, and
he told the young man that he would
retain possession of the house until
part payment was made and there
were made arrangements for the val
aHce. The couple wanted the house to
save paying rent. but the contractor
held the keys.
1t was their house. they argued. and
they had a perfect right to occupy it,
despite IDey were OWING the builder.
They were just starting out in life. and
he should be more considerate. He
did not always receive his pay as
promptly as he demanded it from
them, and the young wife thought that
he was the most heartIess man that
she ever heard OF. There were other
keys 10 be had that would fit the
locks, they agreed. and they said no
one would blame them for moving in
some night while the contractor was
ut home clenching the keys to their
home
This they did. and the story as to
how they got possession did not leak
out until about week ago. The con-
tractor was in a rage naturally when
he saw that he had been beaten at his
own game. and he threatened eject
ment proceedings. He was told to go
ahead. if he wanted to; that he would
not be the gamer. as the house did
not belong to him. The debt was a
fair one and would be met. but he
would have to wait The builder fin
ally has accepted the situation.
