"sosr ARMSTRONG RESIGNS.

Iowan Was an Assistant Secretary Of
Treasury Under Secretary Shaw.
Special to Times Republican.
De.s Moines, March 30-Word comes
from New York announcing Robert Il.
Armstrong; resignation as president
OF the Casualty Company Of America,
Ill health being given as the cause
of his withdrawal.
Mr.. Armstrong was an assistant sec
rotary of the treasury under Secretary
Shaw. His rise has been phenomenal.
A few years ago he worked his way
thru Ames college by setting type on
the Ames Times. He went to work
for The Des Moines Leader and then
went TO the Des Moines News. He
went to Chicago to work for the Chi
cago Record and from it to New York
City to represent that end Of the pa
pers' news interests. When Leslie NJ.
Shaw retired from the governorship
and accepted the secretaryship Of the
treasury Mr.. Armstrong interviewed
him fer his newspaper and was ap-
pointed private secretary. Within a
year he was made assistant secretary
of the treasury in charge of customs.
This he resigned to become president
OF the Casualty company at $1,000
month. His resignation comes as
surprise to friends in Des Moines.
1t is supposed, however, that he will
become genera, manager or vice pres
ident of the new Carnegie Trust COM
pany at whose head is Secretary Shaw.

pecial 10 Times-Republican.

Special to es-Republican.
Des Moines, March 30.-Two at
tractive widows one an Iowan and the
other a Minnesota woman, are united
by a strange contract, which is now
on file in the county recorders office.
The women went to the court house
together, after signing the contract In
the office of a local attorney. An as
sistant in the recorders office declares
that when they left the office they
were smiling like bride and groom.
Each, he observed, is past middle age,
but is nevertheless pleasing to the eye
as to figure and face. 1t was the OBJ
manageable, as far as appearances
show, had they been marrying ladies'
The women are Mrs. Eleanor Johnson
of Avon, and Mrs. Lenora Ellsworth
of Bemidji, Mimi, and have known
each other since childhood. They have
signed a contract, each agreeing not
to marry again, but to put their money
and property into common fund, in
which each woman holds an equal
share. 4,
They are to live together until death
do them part.
Each woman is to do her share of
the household work.
Each woman is to pay her share of
the debts.
Their contract differs but little, in
effect, from marriage contract. A
stranger document has never been
placed on file in the Polk county court
house The widows reserve nothing.
Mrs Ellsworth has been paying Mrs.
johnson an extended visit, and it was
during this visit that the compact was
thought of and finally agreed to.

Objects to the Wiping Out Of the Cum

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, March 3O.-The Rev. p w.
Bishop, of the little town of Gilbert
just north of Ames, has in press a
pamphlet on the question of the Cum-
berland Presbyterian church in the
United States. Rev. Bishop is not an
active minister at the present time but
he dislikes very much to see the
church in which he once filled pupit
stricken from the list in America and
he has written sixteen page argu-
1nent on the same that he will present
to such persons as he believes will be
able to lend influence in preventing the
blotting out of his church.
Rev. Bishop has been contemplating
the publication Of this pamphlet for
almost a year but has just now sue
ceeded in getting it to press. Whether
others will follow will be determined
by the reception this one gets. Mr.,
Bishop is remarkable character, tho
eccentric in some WAYS he is well
versed in the Bible and argues about
it very much in conversation.
