Mrs. Schmidt, Of Burlington, Receives
Property After Long Litigation.
Special to Times-Republican.
Burlington, June ga peculiar le-
gal tangle was recently settled, the de-
tails Of which are explained in the fol-
lowing: Owing to the fancy of Will
liam NeWbanks of Knox county, ILL.,, to
make his own will, Harriet Newbanks,
now Mrs Schmidt, a nurse at ST.
Francis hospital in Burlington, came
near having to have an issue before
she could have her share of the estate
left by Newbanks, of whom she was
the adopted child
This will stipulated that before Miss
Newbanks should derive her share Of
the estate she should marry and have
children. Newbanks died twelve years
ago. The wording of the will was so
indefinite that it has been in the courts
ever since, Miss Newbanks having
brought suit to obtain her share of the
estate.
Recently Miss Newbanks was mar
ried here to Edward Schmidt, fulfilling
part of the provision of the will. But
the provision requiring children re-
mains still to be fulfilled. The case
came before Judge Rufus Robinson at
Monmouth, ILL.,, and he, after examining
the testimony, decided that Mrs.
Schmidt had fulfilled the chief require
ment of the will by getting married,
and held that the remainder of the
contract might safely be left to the
stork. and he ordered the money due
Mrs. Schmidt paid over to her.

Des Moines Slated for New See City.

Dubuque, June 27.-eShould the Elpis-
copal diocese of Iowa be divided, as is
being urged by Bishop Morrison, the
prospects are strong that Des Moines
will be the new see city. The church
is stronger there than in any place In
Iowa except perhaps Davenport, where
Bishops Lee and Perry preached in the
cathedral before the advent of the well
beloved present head of the church in
the state. The Episcopal church is also
strong in Sioux City. and that town
will be Des Moines most formidable
rival for the new cathedral In the
event that the diocese is divided into
north and south parts instead of east
and west. Dubuque and Sioux City will
be the aspirants. But it is regarded
as more likely that the line of divs-
ion will be the other way.
In an appeal TO his people to con-
slider the question of future division,
and to prepare for the necessary en-
dowmeht Bishop Morrison says: The
diocese is too large territorially. The
bishop cannot administer it as II ought
to he administered. He may give all
his time and strength bat ii is i'm
possible for one man to do all that
ought to be done Too much time is
spent coming and going, II special Wis
itations or special duty require him in
any distant part of the field. There
are interests besides visitations which
demand his attention. and visitations
are sometimes too hurried The bish>
OPP, as a father to his clergy as the
overseer of all interests. ought to come
in closer contact with his flock
I'VE must provide for division by
and by. There is only one way to do
it. We must increase the fund at in
terest for diocesan support, and be-
lleve the only feasible way to do this
is to persuade our people to remember
the Iowa Episcopate in their wills
The growth of the Episcopal church
in Iowa has of late caused a scarcity
of clergy, and the demand for men be-
ing strong all over the northwest there
are several places which Bishop Morri-
son is somewhat pressed to fill.

Tama, June 27.-IThe Central Iowa
Chautauqua opened here Tuesday I'M
der very favorable circumstances. The
weather was pleasant and the new pa
valion, which has a seating capacity
of some 5000, was we'll filled. The
Midland Concert Company, ladies'
quartet, furnished the first half hours
entertainment, after which brief dedi-
catory services were held for the new
permanent pavilion. that is now Occur
pied for the first time.
Rev. Drury, the president, spoke
briefly of the work Of the association,
and then introduced Hon. S. c. Huber,
the vice president, who spoke in very
glowing terms as to what the chautau-
qua has done for the two communities,
lama and Toledo. He expects even
greater things in the future
Rev n A. Mershon led in prayer aft
ter which Col. Balm. of Kentucky, was
introduced and delivered his new lee
ture on platform Experiences He
gave a brief history of the growth of
this kind of public speaking, inter-
spersing many humorous anecdotes
from his own experiences.
Quite a keen disappointment was
felt by many at not having the pleasure
of listening to Senator Dolliver. who
was booked for the afternoons lecture.
AS congress had not yet adjourned 1T
was impossible for him to be here, and
Col. Balm was secured in his place.
Prof. Lloyd, of Evanston, ILL.,. deliver
ed the first of series of Bible lectures,
this one being on the Book of Work.
There are on the Chautauqua
ground some hundred or more tenters,
and about midnight hard rainfall
began, which kept up several hours
Some had provided we'll against sucn
an emergency, having double tents and
floors in the tents, but the majority
had not camped before and had not
taken the forethought, consequently
they were quite discouraged. One hap
by soul started up the song, 'There rs
No Place Like Home" but no one else
felt like singing.
The only thing that will keep this
from being a most excellent chautau-
qua will be bad weather. The grounds
are ideal. and the talent for this year
is most excellent. Eva Marshall
Shonts is the orator for today. which
is set apart as temperance day.
