Webster City. April 25.-Music on

The system is to be installed by e. H.

This company has started out to
put orchestras as we'll as famous sing

city. The plan is similar to a tele-
phone exchange. In the central dis
pensary is gramaphone, or series

maintained regularly and the SUBJ
scriber can have a selection at any
hour he may desire.
This is the plan of the company and
the service is to cost but SO cents per

SENSATIONAL DAMAGE SUIT.

Against Prominent Farmer.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, April 25.-A damage suit
of sensational nature was filed in the
district court yesterday, when Mrs.
Eva Wilmington filed papers asking
for $4,000 damages from D. B. Nc
Cleary, a prominent farmer living near
Oxford. According to her statement,
she was on the farm Of the defendant,
accompanied by her husband While
the latter was absent, McCleary seized
her, and pulling her onto his lap used
much too cordial phraseology in the
manifestations of his affection. She
managed to break away from him,
however, but declares that she suffered
mental and physical damage to the ex-
tent of $4,000, no part of which has
been paid. and she therefore prays for
a judgment Owing to the prominence
of the parties concerned in the affair,
the case is attracting widespread at
tention.
