Mason City, May 27.-Dean Barsa-
lou, of the Memorial University, re-
ceived a hurry-up call by telephone,
this morning, to marry an impatient
running, a distance of fifteen blocks
from the University campus, not even
waiting for a car. Harry Streeter and
Lottie Schreiver had Just procured a
license to wed, and few moments
after they got the license Mr.. Streeter
received a telegram which bore the
sad tidings that his mother was dying
in Fennimore Wis. They had only a
few moments to catch the morning
train eastbound on the Milwaukee, and
hence the hurry.
After the knot had been tied in the
office of the clerk Of the courts, the
young man asked the dean what the
expenses for his services might be. The
dean thought that SIS would be about
right. Streeter pulled out IS bill.
and told him that the amount was his
entire capital, and that it was just
enough to take him and his wife to the
bedside Of his dying mother The dean
replied that of course under such CIR
cumstances he could not think of ac-
cepting a fee, and the young couple
made grand rush and caught the car
for the Milwaukee passenger station,
thanking the dean for his kindness as
they ran.

Cedar Rapids May 27.-Perhaps the
most remarkable development in the
politics of this campaign has been the
growth of the candidacy of James w.
Good for the republican nomination
for congress. Opposed by a man of
such legislative career as would COM
lnand the loyalty and effective support
of the most powerful interests in our
politics, by man who is aligned
with the faction which is supposed to
be dominant in this district, James W..
Good, by force of personal popularity,
has gained such strength that 1t is
confidentially expected, in Cedar Rap
ids that he will be nominated
Good will carry Linn county without
question His opponent is unpopular
ooth in Cedar Rapids, and in the coun-
ty at large, while Good is intensely
popular personally. He was born and
raised on Linn county farm, and the
friends of his boyhood and of his fam
lily are legion. He was educated in
Coe College ard won honors for his
school in their intercollegiate con-
tests and the college is a unit for him.
He made the most remarkable fight
for the gas consumers of Cedar Rap.
ids that any. lawyer ever made, and
his success has solicited him for the
support of the wage-working classes
of the city Our union labor leaders
are intensely active for him, officers
Of the State Federation publishing let
tiers in his support
But what Is more remarkable still
is the strength which Mr.. Good has
developed in Jones and Cedar coun-
ties. Good is clean man personally,
the kind Of man whom people like
upon first sight and really love soon
afterwards. In his work he is sim
ply indefatigable; he sees everybody,
and in Jones county he has James W.
Good clubs 300 strong working for his
candidacy. His manager. Mr.. Has
ken, who In Cedar Rapids politics is
known as live wire, now predicts
that Good will carry both Jones and
Cedar counties, which, If true, simply
guarantees his nomination, for the
reason that he is conceded strong
lead in the three counties of the west
end of the district.

The record of Mr.. Trewin not only

with corporate interests and we have
every reason to believe and expect his

Restaurant to BE Established on Sioux
City Property.


Special to Times-Republican.
Sioux City, May 27.-Indications are
now that the spite house" mystery
here will be fully cleared up. 1t IS
said that the Baltimore Lunch company
of Baltimore, Md, of which j. A. Whit
comb is owner, has been figuring for
lease of the Hogan property at AZ
Pierce street, formerly occupied by the
Belvidere restaurant, but for the last
two years kept vacant by hidden rent
payers. Hugh Hogan, owner OF the
states that the matter is not
considered closed as yet, and couldn't
say anything concerning the tenant.
It was also learned that the parties
who had been paying the rent on the
place were two prominent restau-
rateurs of the city, who thought that
there was not room in the business part
of the city for another eating house.
They finally decided, however, that $3.50
per month was too much to drop to
keep a place vacant.

Andrew Mccormack Charges Joe Rob
berts With Deed-Latter Skips.

Andrew Mccormack, who was regis
tered at the factory boarding house,
complained that he had been robbed,
last night. by Joe Roberts, a man who
had been with him during the greater
part of the afternoon. Mccormack
who is alleged to have become intoxi-
Gated during the evening. claimed that
he had in his possession the sum OF 49,
which he declared to be missing later.
Roberts. when accused of the theft,
Immediately disappeared, and the po-
lice officers were set on his trail. He
is thought to have taken one of the
late freight trains out of the city. Early
in the day he told a chance acquaint-
ance that he intended going to Bos-
ton. but whether he went in that or
the contrary direction is matter of
conjecture He is described as 25 or
q years old feet, 6 or Z inches in
height, weight about 100 pounds, ana
has a scar on the left cheek. When
last seen ne wore dark clothing and a
soft hat.
While the story of Mccormack is be-
lieved by the local police, yet is not
certain whether or not there is really
anything very definite about the mat
ter, except that Mccormack was the
companion of Roberts during the even
| ing, and that he missed his money
after Roberts had left him. The hail
ness is due to the alleged intoxicated
| condition of Mccormack, who was IN
able last evening to tell connected
story of the affair.

Wednesdays City League Game Was a
Rather One Sided Contest.

The Firemen beat the Postals, II to
in the City League Wednesday after
noon in a game that was rather one
sided, but which was all right for the
supporters OF the side that was win
ming. AS ball games go, it was pretty
good sport up to the fourth inning,
when four singles. two two-baggers,
two base on balls, four stolen bases,
and last but not least three costly err
rors. made tally of nine runs for that
inning. and put the game on easy
street for the Firemen. Perham was
in the box for the Firemen, and kept
a steady hand and a cool head all the
time, giving but one free pass to first
in the whole game. Devine pitched a
good game, struck out seven men, and
but for wretched support, would have
made a better showing.
The feature of the game was Jones
three Dagger in the very first inning,
which gave the Firemen good lead,
and the double play which was exc
cuted by J. Harvey and Jackson in
the fourth The score:
