RETURNS, FINDS WIFE A WIDOW.
Seymour Mar Learns He Has Been
Supporting Divorced Wife.

Special to TirneS-Republican.
Seymour, June 1s-More startling
than the bank failure is the discovery
of w. L. Banes that the is without
wife and home. He has been working
in Kansas and arrived home yesterday
on receipt Of the following letter:
Seymour, Ia, June Friend Bill:
I thought I would write and tell you
that you was a fool if you sent your
wife any more money. She got dt-
vorce a month ago and is going to
marry Cook. You had better come
back and look after your boy or they
will send him to the orphans home.
"a Friend"
"Bill" went to Jamestown, Kas., sew
eral months ago to work, and when he
left here he was on good terms with
his wife and family. But it seems
that coal miner named Cook sup
planted his affections and he persuad-
ed the woman to secure a divorce.
Banes has been sending his wife
money for some time and a few days
ago forwarded SIS. He believes he
can hold her for securing money under
false pretenses. He says he does not
know of any trouble he had with the
late Mrs. Banes.

Special TO TimeS-Republ1can.
Ottumwa, June 18.-The burial Of
Harold Brown, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
oliver Brown, Of Rutledge, which took
place yesterday in the Sioux cemetery
near Eldon, was the closing incident
in one of the saddest series of misfor-
tunes that has ever befallen local
family.
The lad was Is years Of age Some
DAYS ago, while playing base ball with
a, number of his comrades near Rut-
ledge. he was struck on the head with
a bat. While painful for time the
blow apparently was soon forgotten
by the boy until several days ago. Then
it became apparent to the lads parents
that he was slowly losing his mind.
The symptoms increased to such an
extent that the case was presented to
the board Of commissioners of insan-
ity a few days ago and the unfortun-
ate Young man was adjudged insane.
He was turned over to the proper
authorities and taken to the infirmary
at Mt. Pleasant, where everything pos
sible for his comfort and Improvement
was done, but all to no avail.

TRIAL FOR 2.cENT FARE,
Iowa Roads Ready to Put in Lower
Rates as an Experiment.

Iowa Roads Ready to Put in Lower
Rates as an Experiment.
Chicago, June 49, Reports were
current yesterday that 2-cent passen-
ger fares would be put in effect in Illi-
nois and Iowa, at least for a limited
period, in which accounts will be kept
with a view to determining whether
the rate is high enough to be profit
able.
The rumored plan is said to be
based on decision rendered by Judge
Mcpherson in the Missouri rate case
In that state the roads sought to halt
the enforcement Of the 2-cent law, but
the court ordered them to put the rate
in for three months and at the end
of that time to again appear and make
their cases if they so desire.
Acting upon that suggestion, the
Illinois and Iowa roads are said to
have decided to give the lower rate a
three months trial before appealing to
the courts. At the end of that time,
if the returns do not prove profitable,
it is declared to be the intention of
the companies to resort to the courts
to get relief.
Railroads in Ohio have abandoned
the idea of contesting the 2-cent law
in that state 1t was found that in
order to make a test in the courts the
roads would have to refuse to put the
rates in effect or to continue them.
In case of refusal, it is said, the pen
alties which would accrue under the
law would in one year aggregate the
passenger earnings of all Ohio roads
for $50 years. The Lake Erie and
Western road has announced that, as a
result of reduced fares, 1t will dis
continue two passenger trains in the
state and will take off its chair and
dining car service next Sunday.

ufacturers in favor of revision of the
tariff schedules, especially those on
iron and steel. He spoke under the
auspices Of the Pittsburg board of
trade and his address was a clear ex-
position Of his reasons for tariff re-
vision.
Governor Cummins declared that it
is a fact that for years the Ameri-
can manufacturer has been selling
iron and steel products abroad cheaper
than al home and that 1t may be taken
for granted that he has done 1t at a
fair margin Of profit. He concluded,
therefore. that it was also fair and
reasonable that the existing high du
ties are excessive and that they should
be tscaled down to basis making pro-
lection possible without eliminating
competition.
In his opening remarks, Governor
Cummins paid his respects to the
American Economist in the following
TINS:

so far from home I am known, If not
as an open, as masked enemy to the
doctrine Of protection.
