The first evidences of his insanity
were noticed last Monday, and the at
tacks required at intervals, steadily
growing worse, until yesterday Sheriff
Jernegan was notified, and took him
before the commission. His case was
one of the most violent Of it's kind
that local officials have had to deal
with for many years. He is said to
have almost entirely stripped himself
of his clothing before he could be re-
strained, and the use of straight
jacket had to be resorted to to keep
him under control.
A number of West Fork people We're

much sympathy was expressed for the
young man. C. L. Jernegan took him
to independence yesterday afternoon.
He had been working for Mr.. Miller
since last March, and is said to have
come to his place from Chicago. So
far as known by his friends he has no
relatives in this country, and he was
too seriously deranged to enlighten the
officials

able to stand the exposures that were
a necessary part of the work of a pre-
siding elder whose district included
wide stretches of country over which
he must travel on horseback, fording
rivers, finding his way over prairies
where there We're no roads or the
roads would often be lost under
depths of snow. He was also Wig
orous administrator, with a keen.
shrewd mind, logical, forceful in his
preaching, a strong, vigorous man typ
ical of those who laid the foundations
of our present good order and civil

bored that later men may enter into
labors. Later he was pastor at Vinton
in 1860, at Dubuque circuit in 1861,
Rockdale 1862, Marshalltown in 1863.
He then found his health failing and
superannuated for a year. In 1866 he
was appointed TO Mechanicsville, in

presiding elder, this time of the Iowa
City district. In 1872 he was again
pastor at Mechanicsville, in 1874 at

missioners Friday, and after hear
ing, was committed to the hospital
at independence. Miss Valentine Is a
lady about 40 years of age, and has
been acting very strangely for several
years, at times threatening suicide.
She has been gradually growing worse
for some weeks, and Thursday evening
started out from her home in this
city, and visited several people, finally
stopping at Clarke Bros livery barn,
where she mounted a chair and be-
gan preaching to those who happened
to be in the barn at. that time. The
authorities were notified, and she was
cared for until Friday morning, when,
after trial, she was taken to Independ-
ence by Sheriff Walsh and an attend
ant
Miss Valentine is quite well known
in Hardin county. Some years ago she
brought suit against one of Hardin
county's prominent farmers, charging
seduction. The trial was holly con-
tested, and long drawn out, resulting in
a verdict in favor of Miss Valentine
for the sum of $4,000. The man in
the case had always stoutly MAIN
tanned his innocence.
Since the above trial, Miss Valen-
tine has lived alone in Eldora, TAX
ing in work. She has always been
eccentric. Her people live at Union,
and are highly respected and well to
do. Aside from the suit above referred
to she has lived a spotless life in this
community, and she and her people
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity in this affliction.

stranger might have been thoroughly
justified in thinking that q number OF
the populace had suddenly taken leave
of their senses. The cause Of all the
strange goings on were the paying OF
election bets in different parts Of the
city.
"A Clay street business man attracted
no small degree of attention by coming
down to his place of occupation on
"Wednesday morning with Il straw hat
and earlaps on. Apprehension for his
sanity was felt by his friends until
the information was impaired to them
that it was simply case Of squaring
up after election.
A barber on Coulter avenue went
home to dinner and again to supper
on Wednesday night with the word
TAFT spelled in Taft buttons across
his back He had been a staunch
worker for Bryan and had promised
TO do the stunt in the event Of his
favorite's defeat.
Perhaps the most excitement of all
the bets. however. was caused by two
of the performers in different acts at
the Biiou this week, Messrs.. Razel and
Robinson. One of them wheeled the
other in a barrow all the way from
Rosenthars residence on Eighth and
Iowa streets, to the Bijou theater, and
they didn't take, the back streets either.

that he had agreed with a
friend to not take his hat off once
the day following election if Taft won
out, and the friend was trying to steer
him into every place possible trying
to get him to break his word.
The climax was capped, however. by

Waterloo, Nov dissatisfaction

fairs dating over q recent period last
evening resulted in the withdrawal of
eighty members of the First Baptist

PAYS FREAK ELECTION BET.
Fort Dodge Man Hauls Another In
Wheelbarrow.

Fort Dodge, Nov. 1.-THE people on
the lower end of Central avenue saw
the result of one election bet Thurs.
day afternoon, about o'clock. The I'M
derstanding was that If Bryan was
elected Staff Carpenter was to wheel
John Forman two blocks on Central
avenue in a wheelbarrow, and if Taft
was proven to be the choice Of the
people, Forman was to do the pushing.
AS. a result Staff enjoyed a short but
pleasant ride in the beautiful autumn
nal twilight. The interested gaze OF
the bystanders did not seem to inter-
fcre with the pleasure of the ride.
However the winner was rather reti-
cent when interviewed, but perhaps
that was because of his natural mod
.estN and l1a STIFFNESS.
