The Courier Scored on the
Catalogue House Question

Wednesday morning while We
we're waiting at the postofhce for the
mail We we're accosted by one Of
Fulton County's prominent farmers.
who asked US Why we did not score
the merchants OF Hickman for not
buying at home what they could get
here instead Of sending TO ST. Louis
for Il, while we we're scoring the
people for sending to catalogue
houses for their needs. An instance
cited 10 US in the conversation, and
IN fact the only one. was the local
meat shops having their beef shipped
to them from ST. Louis instead Of
getting II at home.
Nov We have been using the ar
gument that the catalogue houses
lid not pay any taxes or help build
any roads in Fulton County. This
is true, and while we do not know
the motives OF the meat men in
getting their meat in St. Louis sad
having il shipped by express tie
same rule will apply in this csse
the packing houses IN St. LOUIS DO
not pay any taxes OF help build any
roads. and il the meat shops de-
pended upon the ST. Louis trade
they would sell not a great amount
Of meat. This may seem strange
alter We have been using this ar
gumeni against the catalogue houses
and while we still oppose the idea
and believe that it shows a spirit OF
one not interested in the community
in which they live to get their needs
from a catalogue house, the same
rule cannot help but work two ways.
Some OF the meat men claim that
a number Of farmers kill and sell
beef TO the trade for less than they
can buy aud sell il. This. TO a de-
gree. .handicaps the meat men. II
this be true.

sixty miles west Of Little Rock.
Heart disease caused his death.
The body was taken to Little Reck

nouns his death. one OF the most
useful and dauniless soldiers Of the
cross that ever fought in the cause
OF the Master.
A plain man who bad known sin
found uncommon inspiration through
the conquest OF self. and by means
OF this victory was enabled to teach
others how to better and more strong

Sam Jones religious fervor and
esrnesiness carried bis mind into all

enabled him 10 appreciate. il not

moral wounds. experience all human
temptations. and having thus. as il
we're, conceived the sum total Of
mankind's hopes. joys and sorrows,

True there vas more than this sub
soribed bat some Of the parties did
not meet vith the collectors IN time
20 pay up their subscriptions. and as
ve felt safe IN going on with what
ve had we never collected these
subscriptions. The treasurer had a
little over $50 left after paying all
the claims presented. This will pay
little over nifty per ceQt 70 each
subscriber. Some have suggested
that Il will be a great deal oftrouble
10 find all the subscribers but ~
think not The treasureI's book
shows just hos much each collector
paid him that vas subscribed aud
each collector knows just how much
money he collected from each sub
scriner. Nov let the treasurer pay
each collector nifty per cent Of the
amount of subscription money he
paid in. OF course this has nothing
10 do with the money paid in for
privileges. meat. bread. etc. Some
say they want or expect no money
back. and are willing for their part
TO 90 into the county union treasury.
That Is liberal and ali right but
as We promised TO pay back TO the
subscribers what We had left Ne
think II will be best TO offer every
one his money back, even II II is
only ten per cent. Then II he wish
es to pay his to the county union il
will be easy 10 do so.

SUED FOR BIGAMY
Professor Frye, Who Suddenly Re-
turned to His Wife in Chicago, After
Thirty Years Absence, Accused by
Former Iowa Woman.

Chicago, Aug. 25-After ending a
mysterious absence of th ty-one
years by returning voluntarily his
family in Chicago and giving his wife
$4,000 to refrain from asking any ex-.
planation of his absence, Charles
Frye, a former instructor in the Chi
cago Normal school, has found that
not even these measures have brought
him the peace he desired for his old
age.
Yesterday two weeks after his
homecoming-Profess Frye was ar
rested on charge Of bigamy brought
by Mrs. Clara Goddard of Hurley, S.
D. The charge may bring out the
story which the teacher has SO care

Chicago in 1876, leaving his wife and
three children. Four years later =
in 1880 - young school teacher, call
ing himself Charles H, Goddard, ap-
peared in the little town Of Spencer,
Iowa. One Of the young women Of
the town met him and fell In love
| with him and they were married.
The subsequent twenty-six years
Goddard spent rowing from one place
to another. He taught school In Swan
Lake and Hurley, S. D., and later took
up claim in the western part Of Tie
state. Then he turned his attention to
the study of law, and, becoming IN
| terested in the Catholic denomination,
secured an appointment as instructor
| in law in the Catholic University of
America at Washington
While Goddard was at the capital his
wife remained on the South Dakota
ranch, holding the title. On his re-
turn the couple, with their three chill
| dren moved to Hurley, where Cod
dard began the practice of law.
SO much is known Of the man Cod
dard from a letter sent Mrs. Cod
dard's Chicago attorneys by Goddardis
law partner and from the statements
rant for Prof. Frye's arrest was taken
out. Nothing is known Of his life be-
fore his appearance in Spencer, Ia, in
1880.
About Il month ago, however, Charles
Fl. Goddard deserted his wife and FAM
lily in Hurley, after selling his ranch
for several thousand dollars, and dis
appeared. A few days later Prof.
Charles Frye returned to his wdfe's
home at 919 Bosworth avenue, placed
roll of bills amounting to $4,000 in
her hand and told her to ask no ques-
| tions.

The warrant for the teachers arrest
was issued Thursday afternoon by
Justice Albert F. Keeney.

Dakota or ever went under the name
of Goddard.
