SUES HER AGED UNCLE.
Interesting Legal Contest in Van
Buren, County Now Being Heard. :

Keosauqua, Jan. 25.-The third week
of the Van Buren, district court OPEN
ed here Monday The second jury cast
of the term came up that afternoon at
1880, the case being Agnes Foote VS..
John Reith. both parties being of Mt.
Sterling. Plaintiff, a middle aged wo-
man, is a niece of the defendant, who
is about SO years old. The following
jury was empaneled: Frank John, L.
p. Shores. j. R. Gilchrist. F. M.
Haynes, Iowa Hunter, A. F. Sample,
Charles Robinson, Paul Winslow, e.
e. Winslow, Elmer, Keck, Joshua
Work and Noah Mohler.
The plaintiff sues for $3.50 for SER
vices and for $500 for damages alleged
to have been sustained on account of
defendants failure to carry out his
contract She claims that after the
/ death of the defendants wife, he wrote
letters to her, urging her to come and
keep house for him, and he would
leave her his property at his death.
She came, but it seems they did not
get along together, and in less than
two years they fell out, and from this
a SANDER suit followed. This case did
not come to trial, but was settled out
of court by plaintiff receiving $500
from the defendant. The defense in
the case now claims that it was I'M
derstood that the $400 paid the plain
tiff was settlement for services and
damages, arising from the SANDER suit.
The case will not go to the jury be-
fore tomorrow.
The first jury case came up Wednes-
day of last week, it being state of
JNy NIL Tla j,,,
tired that evening and at 2 o'clock next
morning returned a verdict of not
guilty. The case was an appeal from
the justice court in which Arnold was
found guilty of assault and battery on
the person Of George Matheson of Des
Moines township, and fined $25 and
costs This Judgment was cancelled by
| the verdict of the jury.

THE SAD CAREER OF A BEAR.

A little boy years old, dressed in a
fiaring red Buster Brown suit with
taffy bangs and pink complexion, came

fact duly chronicled." Jack purchased
one. He picked out a white fuzzy one,
apparently of the polar variety. 1t is
not known whether the famous presi-
dent ever squinted down his trusty
smokaless with his knitted teeth and
shot IN 'ice warmer''-but neverthe-
less there is a white "Teddy Bear
Bruin "skipt." He wormed out of
Jacks arms in some manner or other
and tumbled into neat little puddle
of water in one of tho canyons in the
asphalt on Second street The cold
bath apparently was much to his lik-
ing, for he floundered about in the
inlky Juice and splashed away right

FIRST ICE OF
TIE SEASON
LOCAL COMPANIES ARE FINALLY
LAUNCHED AFTER THEIR
WINTERS HARVEST

Ice is being cut in Wapello county.
Although no river ice is as yet avail
able, the smaller local streams and
larger ponds are being rapidly reliev-
Gu of their frozen covering. The ice
is not of great thickness nor Of the
best class, but still it is ice and cold
ice at that. Probably the largest
amount removed SO far is the harvest
of w. w. Cummings, secured from a
private pond near the Dain Manufac-
turing company's plant. The first
marking was done yesterday and the
hauling is going on today If the cold
snap continues, it is probable that
several of the other local ice compan-
les will avail themselves of the OPP
portunity although the present crop il
not of the quality usually stored from
this territory.

AN ECLIPSE OF MOON.
Will be Visible in ottumwa Tuesday.
January 29.

Ottumwa people interested in astro-
nomical matters should watch for an
eclipse Of the moon on the night Of
January 20, for the sky searchers de-
clare that there will be such a phe-
uomenon visible throughout the United
States as far west as the Rocky Noun
tains. 1t will be but partial eclipse
of the earth's satellite; which means
that the bright disc OF the moon will
not be totally obscured by the earth's
shadow, which will slowly move over
its face but will retreat before entire
observation takes place. Ottumwans
who are interested in these heavenly
demonstrations will watch with inter-
est for the phenomenon. There was a
total eclipse OF the sun one day this
week which. however, was not visible
in the United States. Dwellers in
central Asia, eastern Africa, the
northern Philippine Itlands. Japan and
southern Europe witnessed the eclipse
however, which totally darkened the
face of the orb of day.

The divorce evil will be the subject
of legislation proposed again by Sena-
tors Jones and Taylor. Both seek
to lessen the evil by requiring that
divorced persons be prevented from
lebally marrying Immediately after
securing the divorce. The. Jones bill,
which will appear in time, provides
that the decree shall not be effective
until one year after the separation is
granted by the court.

THE WEATHER
ARMY OF TOURISTS.
Yesterday was the First Day of the
Low Rates to the West
BY Railroads.

Yesterday was the first day of the
semi-annual immigration to the west
of thousands OF Eastern settlers. The
colonist rates to the Rocky noun
tains and to the Pacific coast went
into effect yesterday.
The European invasion will not be-
gin until later on. in April or May.
But by the first of next week settlers
will be pouring into Colorado on all
trains
Assistant General Passenger
Agent Wadleigh. of the Denver and
Rio Grande, said yesterday in Denver
that his road would send out II tour
ist cars full every week. The Union
Pacific will also have extra traffic to
accommodate the crowds of the next
sixty days.
This migration of settlers takes
place every spring and fall. It is
of especial Importance now. because
of the enormous demand for labor on
the Pacific coast The Western Pa
cine railroad, in its construction has
use for more men than it can get out
there and large numbers of laborers
will be imported. The rebuilding
of San Francisco is making room for
an unheard Of quantity of working
men. The clamor for tickets started
in Denver yesterday. miners and arti-
sans taking advantage of the cheap
fares to go to Goldfield, also to Utah
and Idaho camps.
Mowever many of the settlers To-
cate in Colorado. this state will bene-
fit by the heavy travel that will take
place. Thousands of people passing
through every week will be sure to
stimulate trade enormously. This eff
feet will be more noticeable than usu-
al because of the extraordinarily
heavy traffic that is expected.
