ST., of Ottumwa in 1888, about seven
miles east of Fairfield. 1t was in the
way on the farm on which 1t was To-
Gated and the owner decided to tear
1t down. Hiram Heaton of Glendale,
a prominent old settler, learned OF
this and interceded, with the result
that the cabin was presented to the
old settlers association. 1t was re-
moved to Fairfield year ago but had
not been put together again.
/ 1t was originally intended to put
the building on one corner of the
court house square, but this met with
successful opposition. The purchase
of lot was then suggested, but it
was decided that this would be too
small. After much discussion 1t was
finally decided to purchase eleven
acres of timber land adjoining the
water works park and this was done.
1t is on this ground that the build
ing was placed today. 1t Is proposed
to plant trees and shrubbery that was
common in Iowa in the pioneer days.
In addition to the pioneer atmosphere
outside, the hackers propose to es-
tablish inside the cabin an old set
tiers museum, in order that the build
ing itself might be constant re-
mi1der of the hardships endured by
the early pioneers, Of whom there are
practically none left. An effort may
be made to secure state support for
the park, as 1t would naturally be Of
great historical value.

noon while doing some detective work
at the solicitation of Desk Sergeant

policeman at the station at that time
Gilmore was sent to shadow the man
until an officer could arrive Gilmore
doesn't know what followed as the

freely and when led to the station by

ILL HEALTH MOVED PRESIDENT
OF MT. PLEASANT INSTI-
TUITION TO RETIRE.

Mt Pleasant, Oct 25.-(Special)-
At a special meeting of the Executive
Committee Of Iowa Wesleyan Univer-
sity last night, President John w Han
cher announced his intention of re-
signing, at the next meeting of the
Board of Trustees which has been
called for November 9Th, His resig-
nation Is to take effect as soon as 1t
Is possible for him to get his work in
shape to leave The resignation of
President Hancher came with some
surprise although it has been rumored
two years he has had two severe
surgical operations from which he mas
presumably entirely recovered. How
geons in Minneapolis last week he de-
cided that the only way to give him
self the years rest which they declar>
ed absolutely necessary was to resign.
1t is proable that Dean A. G. Piersel
will take charge Of the affairs of the
school until the regular meeting of
the board Of trustees in the spring
when the board will formerly elect a
new president.
Great Loss to School.

service for the university DIR. Han
cher has done great work. The
first thing he did was to raise debt
of 100000, next he raised an emerg-
ency fund of $4,000 for six years and
he is just now entering upon most
strenuous campaingn for a quarter Of
million endowment and which he does
not feel equal to face in justice to his
physical condition. The student body
as a whole very much regret the leav-
Ing Of DR.. Hancher, as he was very
popular with the students.
Miss Dean of the chair of pedagogy
has also rendered her recognition to
take effct Immediately. She has ac-
cepted much better position at High
land Park college. Her leaving is
much regretted by all.

ity of the former concern to with
stand the run unshaken tended to re-
store confidence.
The final and complete salvation Of
the situation was accomplished by
turning an avalanche of money into
the stock exchange through a poll
headed by ]. P. Morgan. Mr.. Mor-
gan acted at moment when a ruth
less sacrifice Of stocks held by brok-
ers on loans threatened to inject new
decentralization into the stock market.
At the most critical instant the Nor
gan pool sent s25.O00.000 on to the
floor for the relief Of the brokers.

In addition to this John D. Rockefel-

itself free from the situation precipi-
tated by the embarrassment of the

companies, the Nernst Lamp company
went into the hands of friendly .,a-

INQUEST TODAY

Osceola, Oct 25.-(special) )-Chas.
armstrong, pioneer Osceola citizen
and once rated as one of the wealth
lest men in Clarke county, committed
suicide by drinking carbolic acid at
IL o'clock this morning. Despon-
dency was the cause.
Armstrong attracted national atten-
ton about two years ago by fasting
thirty days. He had been in Ill health
before that time and he thought to
cure his ills by denying himself all
food. At the worst he could only die,
and he often said that life was not
worth the living to him In his en-
feebled condition.
Armstrong survived the fasting or.
deal, although his health was not
benefited. Since that time he has
been Respondent. He repeatedly told
his friends that he had nothing to live
for, but no one thought that his des-
pondency would prompt him to sui
eide.
f Divided Wearth Among sorM.
Some time ago Armstrong, who was
worth between $S0,000 and 100000,
divided nearly all his wealth among
his three sons, Roy Armstrong,
Creston banker, and Charles John
Armstrong, farmers residing in Clark
county short distance from Osceola,
keeping for himself only sufficient
money TO provide for his declining
years.
Armstrong was past 70 years and
had lived in the county nearly half
century. He was prominent in the
Osceola lodge. of Odd Fellows.
The coroner will hold an inquest
this afternoon.
