These are troublesome days for
the liquor men in Sioux City. Hardly
a day passes but the anti-saloon
league has some one in court charg-
ed with violating the liquor injunc-
ton. In nearly every case the court
assesses a fine of 5000 and $35 at
torneys' fees, which goes to the legal
representatives of the league.
Harry Wallace, aged IS years, an
employe of Campbell Bros circus,
lies at st. Vincent hospital at Sioux
City suffering from burns sustained
in a gasoline explosion from which
he may not recover. The accident
was caused from the explosion of a
stove in the cooking tent. His cloth
ing was mass of flame when other
showmen came to his assistance.
The young man lived at Fairbury,
Neb.
A small boy with an alrgun and
a dead robin figured in a justice
court case at Waterloo. The lad
admitted killing the robin and was
fined $40, which was suspended dur
ing good behavior. This is the first
instance chronicled at that place Of
punishment being melted to those who
prosecute the robin. The costs in the
case amounted to So, and this the
paid. The case was tried at the in
stance of II. Fl. Yordy, deputy game

During a terrific electrical storm
which passed over Perry a few nights
since the Methodist church was
the ground, entailing a loss of about
$4,000, with $4,000 insurance, and
later the residence of o. F. Roddan,
was struck, put was prevented from
burning by heroic action on the part
of members of the household. The
storm is said to have been one of the
worst to visit that section in years,
and more or less damage was done
throughout
From all appearances the Iowa Gen.
trail strike has resolved itself into a
waiting game on the part of both the
railroad and the employees. The
strikers have ceased to picket the
shops at Marshalltown at night and
no trouble between strikebreakers
and strikers has occurred for several
days. Comparatively few OF the
strikebreakers have quit or been dis
charged within the past few days.
-Four who were sent to Mason City
Junction to act as car repairers quit,
but were prevailed upon by their fire.
man to return to work.
The Cerro Gordo county grand
jury was called in special session by
Judge Clyde to investigate the
charges of assault with criminal in
tent made against Charles Boston,
colored, filed by Miss Della Bremen.
Boston, who fed from the city after
the assault, was caught at Albert Lea
and returned to the city. A large
crowd assembled at the depot where
the officer with Boston was expected
to arrive, but the officer had been
apprised of trouble, so came in over
another road and had his man safely
in Jail before the reception committee
was aware of 1t. Miss Bremen, the
young woman, IS still suffering from
the effects of the ordeal. Her neck
is badly swollen and very painful as
a result of Boston's alleged attack.
L. L. Sample OF Woodbine, who
got religion six years ago, and who
has been in Humboldt paying off his
old Sebts, told the story of his life
and conversion at the Methodist
church before large audience. He
explained his reason for SO doing
by saying that he was fulfilling the
wishes of the Lord, who told him to
go to Humboldt to tell of his Won
derful change. Mr.. Sample told his
story simply and unassumingly, and
was given the closest attention. In
his drealn, which took place in
hotel at Rolfe, while Mr.. Sample was
engaged in newspaper work, he saw
his family die from typhoid fever as
a punishment for his sins. The
dream acted as his permanent re-
| former. Since then he has cleared
up a $4,000 Indebtedness, and as he
| put it, made himself a prosperous
| business partner with Jesus Christ.
Their business is insurance on a big
| scale. The letter head reads Christ
and Sample" and by the terms of the
| contract one-tenth of the gross earn
| ings goes to Christ, by way of the
| churches, and the other to Sample.
| The scheme is highly recommended
| by Mr.. Sample, who urged his hear
ers to go and do likewise. While in
Humboldt, his old home, he paid out
about $500 in old debts These
were all that could be discovered, but
he most earnestly desires that other
debts be sent to the First National
bank of Woodbine, which will pay
| them.
Little Roy Male, aged IL years,
of Waterloo is apt to lose the sight of
