ago by sickness and death in the home
or his sister
The lady had been very sick from
pneumonia, and was just able to be
around when her husband and daugh.
ter were taken sick with the same dis.
ease. The former died on Sunday, and
the latter on the Tuesday following,
just about an hour before Mr.. Maharg
reached the stricken home. Both OF
them were buried on the same day.
Miss Maharg, who went there some
three weeks ago, will remain part OF
the summer with her doubly bereaved
sister.
When Mr.. Maharg reached Pitts
burg, where he had to change cars to
run north to his destination, he was
advised to take the first train because

ways. The Bessemer Steel Works turn
out one hundred and twenty-five cars
per day. When he visited them they
had contract for twenty-six hundred
cars for Mexican railway.

he understands American women. He
is continually writing essays about

would make me mad. But Bourget
does understand American men pretty
well. Once at a dinner that Richard
Harding Davis gave in his honor
Bourget handed to our men a singu-

that we are too lax and boorish
toward our wives. He said we often

Gently was married to Sam Ellis, an
able bodied man, who appeared at the

wife's earnings to his own use, while
he refuses to assist her in any way.

HUNTERS TAKE NOTICE.
No Hunting in Iowa unless you
Carry License or Invited BY
Owner of Farm Hunted.

The legislature has passed law and
the governor has signed it that all
hunters must procure license from
the county clerk before they are al.
lowed to hunt. 1t gives the owner
permission or right to hunt on his
own premises without licence, or he
may invite any one he wishes to in
dulge with him in hunting upon his
own property. The act becomes oper-
alive at once.
