$4,000 acres of land, large area Of

practically redeem.

Des Moines. May 2S.-The romance
surrounding the disappearance Of lVlr-
gir White. a young Des Moines attor-
ney, two years ago. and the subse-
quent sensational discovery OF his
clothes on the bank Of the Des Moines
river, and the further sensation of find
ing him alive under an assumed name
on farm near Defiance, Ia, was end
ed today by the announcement that on
May 10 he was married in Los Angeles
to Miss Eleanore Hicks. Of Lewiston,
Idaho, formerly of Des Moines.
With the marriage comes the de-
nouement of the romance which cov-
cred up with mystery the more mys-
terious actions of the young attorney.
Behind all OF his peculiar deeds, which
ended in oss-continent flight with
his father in pursuit of him lay some
mystery. Some woman in the case,
was the general comment, but those
who knew Of the mystery-James
RUNE anu q lew OtueIss ClOSSi X AClioS Va
Virgil White-failed to reveal it.
The marriage Of Miss Hicks to
White reveals in part the story. Miss
Hicks was for number of years an
instructor in Highland Park College
Of Music White knew her, and they
were companions Of close acquaint-
ance. However, few weeks before
Virgil White disappeared, Miss Hicks
went to Missouri, where her parents
lived, and dropped out Of sight, her
family suddenly moving to the west
Virgil White then disappeared one
Sunday afternoon. Mis- clothes were
found the next morning on the bank
of the Des Moines river. The river
was dragged and dynamited, but no
trace of the body could DE found. He
was afterward located at Defiance,
and when his whereabouts became
known James Hume, in whose law Of
flee White made his headquarters,
went to that place and spirited White
away to Council Bluffs There they
registered at the Niemeyer hotel un-
der assumed names.
Then White continued westward.
Hon. Fred White. former democrat
lie candidate for governor, then started
in search Of his son. Hey was located
on farm near Grand island, Neb.,
and from there he went to California.
He located near Los Angeles, where
Miss Hicks lived with her parents. For
two years the romance has been de-
veloping beneath the California sun,
while the White sensation has been
comment in DeS MoineS.
Why Miss Hicks left Des Moines
suddenly, and why Virgil White dis
appeared so soon afterward, trying to-
hide his whereabouts beneath the
cloak of a suicide, will never be fully
known. Those who do know have been
sworn to secrecy, and even among the
newspaper men of Des Moines the
truth is known but secured beneath
the promise Of confidence, and the ro-
mantle tale has never been told.
The marriage occurred at the home
of DR.. Thomas, curator Of the mu-
scum at Los Angeles.

SCHOOL TEACHERS STRIKE
Quit Because One Was Fined for
Whipping Student.

oelwein, May 2s.-The most unusual
strike on record In Iowa was declared
here by the teachers of Harlan school,
who quit work out Of sympathy with
Miss Carolyn Schultz, fellow IN
structor who was fiued $50 for beating
refractory pupil named Willard
Cook.
1t was claimed by the boys relatives
that the teacher beat him so terribly
that his body is black and blue. Ac-
cording to Justice Porter. the case
hinged on the fact that the boy was
not within Miss Schultz jurisdiction,
not being pupil in her room.
The other teachers in the school feel
that the verdict lis unfair, hence their
strike. An effort is being made to set
tie the whole affair. The townspeople
are divided on the merits Of the con-
troversy.

TOWN OF PROSPECT.
Had seyenty-fye Per Cent of Its
 Men at War.

This is the age of advertising and the man who does not recognize that fact is bound to get lost in the shullle. It makes for success the same with people who are conducting town gov ernment as it does with those who are selling dry goods or something else. Take Prospect for example. Until re- gently many thought of It only as small backwoods town that you cou!d- n't find on the map, but Its citizens took steps to erect monument to commemorate the heroism of it's sons and the papers got talking about the project, the question was asked what right Prospect had to expect anything from the state. More than a dozen able men and bright women volunteer ed the information and from that time on people who hitherto considered Prospect in the light or small frill that had been shook from Waterbury s skirt few years ago, quickly ex- perienced change of heart and want ed to know more about it. They heard it yesterday when the monument was unveiled and now thousands who never set foot in the town want to see the place and wonder why the trolley does not run out that way.
 Captain Ramon of the police force lived in the town of Prospect when he was youngster and Ilan a soft spot in his heart for it still. Talking about it to-day he said he was sorry that he could not go out there yesterday and added that it beat any town in the whole country in the percentage of its population that took part in the civil war. Think of it" remarked the cap tain, holding his hand in the air and stepping backward and forward with the agility of school hoy, ''the town sent seventy-five per cent of its voters to the war. You can't find anything to equal it in the whole United States. It is a nice town, too, in summer, but it is not very pleasant place during the winter season."
 Superintendent Beach of the police department and q few others have plans perfected for an outing t6 Pros | pect in the near future and similar ar- engagements, are under w;;y by others so that Prospect may expect to see some distinguished people out there this summer. After looking over the farms and paying their respects to the new monument the tourists will spend some time about the city reservoirs,
 East Mountain and Prospect, the only
 water sources Waterbury had until the
 Branch was built, and the supply
 which is to meet the demand for the service on Town Plot.
