Des Moines, April 23.-The weather
crop bulletin for the week ending Mon
day, says:
cold and dry, with average daily tenn
peratures ranging from IL to IA de-
grees below the norman. The precipi-
tation was light and mostly in form OF
snow flurries. Temperatures below
freezing were recorded nearly every
night, and ice and frost were much in
evidence in all districts.
Under these unfavorable conditions
all vegetation has remained practical
ly dormant. AS yet it is not possible
to ascertain the extent of damage
caused by freezing weather to fruits
and early seeded cereals. Reports in

in plowing for corn. and the soil is in

Muscatine, April 23.-Because she
despaired OF regaining possession of her
daughter, lady in tears rushed into a
local drug store and asked to buy some
carbolic acid. When the clerk wanted
to know what she wanted it for, she
hesitated moment, and then told him
that she wanted to kill herself 1t was
only second before young girl, Ia
years old, came into the store, seeking
the lady, who was her mother. Soon
afterwards a man also came rushing
into the store. After heated discus
sion the three parties were>taken to the.
police station, where the lady told her
story. She was formerly a resident of
Muscatine, but moved to Davenport af-
ter receiving a divorce from her hus-
band. After the divorce was granted
she was given the custody Of the
daughter, and the husband was given
the custody of a SON. After moving to
Davenport the lady married again.
A few weeks ago she became i'll, and
as she happened to be in this city she
was taken to a local hospital. The di-
vorced husband called upon her and
told her that the daughter was to be
slaceA In the Good Shepherds Home.

Immediately became alarmed and asked
her former husband to protect the
child until she was able to take care of
her. The divorced husband brought an
attorney to the hospital and the lady
signed a paper giving the child into
the keeping of her father.
After the mother was able to leave
the hospital, she asked for her daugh-
ter, but the father refused to release
her. She came down to Muscatine
from Davenport last week, in order
to get possession of the daughter but
when she found her divorced husband
would not release the child, she rushed
to the drug store, where she hoped
to purchase the drug that would end
her life. Earlier in the afternoon the
father had appeared before Judge Howe
and asked that warrant be sworn
out for the arrest of the woman, as she
was attempting to kidnap his daughter,
but the warrant was not issued.
After the mother had told her story
Ciyt Marshal Flannery gave the par
ties severe ecture and gave the
daughter to her mother.

Sioux City, April 23-The Oxford
hotel, in this city, was the scene of a
shameful denouement yesterday morn
ing, Mrs. Ida Cyr, who had registered
the night before as Mrs. Jack Gleason,
being aroused by the loud knocking of
her angry husband, Roderick Cyr, and
Sheriff Sherman, of Elk Point. The
husband faced his fearful wife and her
paramour and upbraided her for the
desertion of himself and her 10
months-old babe. Gleason and Mrs.
Cyr were taken back to Elk Point by
the sheriff. Mrs. Cry is only 10 years
old and was married two years ago to
her husband, who is 80. She went from
her home to Elk Point and left the
child at the home of friend, saying
she would be back soon. When she
failed to return to the farm Mr.. Cyr
became suspicious and began a search.
H0 suspected Gleason, who is said to
have caused jealousy by attentions to
Mrs. Cyr. Learning that the two had
left town together he followed them
to Sioux City and searched the ho-
tells. Gleason is unmarried and rents
a farm not far from the Cyr home,
west of Elk Point. Cyr lives on the
farm owned by his wife's father, Mi
chael Richard
After consulting an attorney at Elk
Point, the sheriff and Cyr learned that
the couple cannot be prosecuted at Elk
Point because the alleged crime was
committed in Sioux City. They were
brought back to Sioux City yesterday
afternoon and an information will be
fled.
Mrs. Cyr weeps at her disgrace and
Gleason has little to say except that
he was "unlucky." Both persons ar
rested are Of highly respected families
at Elk Point and the community is
shocked by the scandal 1t has been
whispered that the young wife was not
happy in her home.

Seymour, April 23-Cashier Leroy
Ware, OF the Farmers and Drovers'
Bank, who has confessed to the mis-
appropriation of the funds in his
charge, has not yet been placed under
arrest, altho he probably will be as
soon as the state examiner completes his
investigation.
Talk now centers on two things:
The extent of the loss, which will not
be known until the banks affairs are
gone thru from beginning to end, and
as to what fate Ware will meet. The
usual Indignation against man re-
sponsible legally, at least, for the in
solvency OF q bank, does not obtain
here with the majority. because of the
real esteem in which Ware is held.
Those who claim to have deposited
money. however, and have nothing to
show for it in the way of a receipt are
almost crazy, and their demand is for
satisfaction. 1t is not even certain yet
( whether Ware has placed himself
within the pale Of he@iaw, tho some
assert that he can at least be reached
under the statute which provides
against receiving deposits when it is
known that the bank is in an insolvent
condition.
The bank will not be opened, said
State Auditor Carroll, until its affairs
are completely known and the loss
made good.
= The first call for bank books and
certificates OF deposit was Issued yes
terday afternoon and the depositors
were admitted to the bank in groups
OF six, entering by the front door and
leaving by the back. It was discov-
erred that number OF certificates and
individual deposits had not been en-
tered by Cashier Ware.
It is expected that the examiners will
be busy at their work for the remainder
of the week.
Il It developed also that Ware had
loaned bank money to stock shippers
on their personal notes. Some OF these
notes 1t was stated had not been paid,
leaving the bank loser by the transac-
ton. @
