what pathetic side to the romance of
Captain Kimball. of Dubuque, the 10
year-o river man, who is about to
wed beautiful Elizabeth Bishop. of this
city. aged 81 and the daughter of a
fisherman. The wedding was to have
occurred several weeks ago. but is still

consent of the brides mother, which
has not been as yet forthcoming. The
captain is one of the wealthiest river
men of the Mississippi river, and is the
owner of the famous Eagle Point
steamer, noted on the river for its
many catastrophes on the Mississippi.
The captain has already been three
times married, and the fourth brideto-
be is considered one of the most beau
tiful maidens of the river. Her life has
been entirely bounded by the bluffs
about her fathers home, near KimbalPS
Island and she has never been away
from home except on the great river
steamers that pass her fathers door.
She is a typical child of the river. and
delights In the out-of-door life, hunt
ing and fishing with the men and car
ing nothing for the world that lies
about. Her heart is entirely loyal to
the aged sutton, and she has refused
the hand and heart of more than one
young sutton who has wandered to her
fathers door, attracted there by the
rumors of her exquisite beauty. Kim
ball owns kimball's island and park
here, and is one of the best known and
most highly esteemed river men of the
Mississippi. He is waiting for the
consent of the girls mother. Should 1t
fail To be forthcoming the marriage will
take place shortly at the home OF
Captain Kimball on kimball's island,

Iowa City, Dec. 14.--Because they re-

notes aggregating $4,000. The first
Of these notes amounting to $666.66, has

has just been fought out over it's coll
lection. In 1904 John and Will Bradley,
spectators and cattle dealers in this
city, were employed by John Tracy Of
Galesburg, ILL.,, to organize a stallion
company. James, Slower was the first
man approached and he was given his
stock free for coming into the company
and encouraging other farmers in the
neighborhood to come in. Thereafter
Jos. Cline, Fred Cline, Frank Hora,
Frank Prizler, Frank Amish, Jos. Drak-
err, and NJ. S. Maxon were induced to
come into the company Each man was
approached separately and each re-
ceived a rebate on his share ranging
from a pair of shoes to a check for 500.
The company was organized and the
horse purchased from Tracy, notes be-
ing given in payment. Tracy immedi-
ately sold the notes to John H. Cox,
capitalist of this county. The stallion
proved of no value and was later sold
for it's feed. When the notes came due
payment was refused and Cox sued.

however, claiming that the transfer of

AN INTERESTING SUIT.
Courts to Pass On Question Of Use Of
Union Label.

Special to Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs, Dec. IA case in
volving the use of the union label is
puzzling the courts III this city and has
brought up a point that hitherto has
not been passed on. It is ques-
ton Of the legality of the use of the
union label by union workman en-
ployed in an open shop.
Antoine Lundgard, a merchant tailor
of the Bluffs, runs an open shop.
Among his journeymen was tailor
who is member of the union. This
man attached union label to suit
of clothes and for customer and when
the label was discovered Mr. Lund-
gard was arrested on a complaint
sworn out by member of the local
tailors' union, charging him with using
the label contrary to law.
Mr.. Lundgard says he did not au-
thorize his employee te, attach the label
to the suit of clothes and was not
aware that it had been done until he
was arrested charged with the offense
The point to DE decided is regarded as
rather fine one and will probably rest
upon the distinction OF authority of the
International body respecting the use

Professor E. E. Jones lies very ill at

questionable. He has been failing for

Professor Jones has been teacher Of
music in Traer for thirty years. He is
over 70 years old and has no known
living relatives. Mrs. James
Laughlin was greatly alarmed the other
day by receiving a package thru the
mail which contained her husbands
mileage books and some other papers,
without any explanation. The next
mail brought a letter from Mr.. Laugh
lin stating that the property was miss
ing. as we'll as $50 in cash. A few
days after the mileage books came the
$50 was sent on here. Particulars are
not known, but the supposition is that
Mr. Laugh1in was robbed on train in
Wisconsin and getting clue to the
thief made it so warm for him that he
was afraid to use the mileage. Later
some evidence was secured in Wiscon-
sin to connect him with the act, which
Induced him toturn over the cash.
