that the photographs so common in the
cliff and cave dwelling regions of New
Mexico are almost wholly absent from
the ruins of the Mesa Verde, in south
western Colorado.
In one room Of the cliff palace are

This detached slab was lying on an

Pretty Hard 20 Stump the Right Kind
OF American Boy.

When Wilbur Nesbit, author d
1.-THE Gentleman Ragmah." was . boy
he lived in q small town in Ohio, and
he and his brother one summer con-
cluded that they would. establish
themselves In business as paper-hang'
ers. The lads were well liked and had
plenty Of work. 49,.
One week they were given the con-
tract to paper the ceiling of store.
room. The ceiling had never been
given q white coat" of plaster, but
was smooth-coated with the brown
mortar. The boys found that the pa
per would not adhere to the brown
mortar because the sand, in it pulled
OF and let the paper fall. The owne:
of the storeroom had hardware
store q few doors down the street.
Wilbur sauntered into the hardware
store and bought ten boxes of black
beaded tacks, then strolled back ia
the place where his brother was con,
templating the bothersome ceiling. A
consultation was held in undertores,
the doors snd windows on the stree'
were soon obscursS by shades, and
the boys resumed work.
That evening the paper was ON Tic
ceiling, and pretty paper it was. too
In the design we're ipnumerable dark
spots, forming the stamens of gorge
GUS flowers. 49,.
When the hardware man paid the
boys for the work, he said:
But what the dickens did you do
with all those tacks?"
First slowing the money away IN
his pocket, Wilbur exclaimed:
"Oh, we just tackled the paper on
the ceiling with them!"- Cos

THE INJUNCTION is MODIFIED
Dr.. Dickinson, Claiming He is Not
Worth $4,000, as Wife Claims, is
Given Permission to Collect Rents
From Properties and Sell Wares in
Which He is Interested.

Thirty dollars per month temporary
almony was ordered paid In the Polk
county district court Thursday In the
case of Mrs. Lena Hammer Johnson
Dickinson formerly of this city
against her husband, DIR. John w.
Dickinson. There was nothing espec-
tally sensational developed in the ac-
ton for temporary alimony, other than
might have been expected in an ordin-
ary divorce trial. This was only a
preliminary skirmish, and the rea!
fight will come when the action for
the petition comes to trial.
The injunction issued by Judge
Brennan was modified so as to permit
DR.. Dickinson to collect the rents on
his properties and to sell stock food
and a certain gate in which he is in
tercsted. The physicians attorneys
claimed in court that their client is
not worth $4,000. as is asserted in the
wife's petition. and that it is neces-
sary for him to collect these rents in
order to be able to obey the courts
rule regarding the payment Of all
mony.

Charge by Not Returning an Indct-

The federal grand Jury at Des
,Moines, which has been investigating
the criminal charges against James j.
Stewart. postmaster Of Quarry. exon
Grated him Thursday evening, when it
returned report finding no Indictment
against him. Mr.. Stewart, who has
been in Des Moines during the grand
jury's investigation. was in the city
this morning en- his way home.
He was naturally very much pleased
that he was exonerated, as he has de-
clared from the first that there had been
no intentional wrong doing on his part,
and any irregularity that might exist
In his accounts was due to nothing
more tran clerical errors.
Mr.. Stewart said that the investiga-
tion resulted from the report made by
Inspector Brill, Of the postoffice de-
p.,rt,nent, last summer. The inspector,
Nj. Stewart said, happened into the
Quarry office one day when he had
1894 in money in the Office, which he
had taken in the day before, and which
he should have deposited the day he
received ii. but which he had neglected
to do. The irregularity was reported
and the grand jury's recent investiga-
ton was the result.

Mrs. E. Irene Rood, Of Chicago. ma
tional representative OF the Ameri-
can Humane association, is in the city
for stay of week or two, for the
purpose Of injecting more spirit into
the work Of the local society. Mrs.
Rood says the Marshalltown society
has already accomplished much, but
can easily do more She expects to
call a public meeting in the interest
of the humane work.
Mrs. Rood has accomplished great
deal Of good work in this state. She
was prominent in the lobbying for the
state bills prohibiting the docking of
horses and shooting live birds from
traps, both OF which became laws. She
attributes much Of her success to aid
given her by Governor Cummins, whom
she declares to be one man in 10000 to
stand up for what is right.
During the present winter, Mrs.
Rood will devote her time to organic
ing societies thruout the state. She
has recently finished this work at
Council Bluffs and Fort Dodge. The
principal work of the national organ
ization that she represents during the
next session Of the Iowa legislature
will be to secure the passage Of what
Is known as the Rood humane bill,
making education along humane lines
compulsory in the public schools. Such
law is now in force in twelve diff
ferent states.
Mrs. Rood will be the guest of Dr.
Rosa T,iehig citv humane officer, dur
ing her stay in the city.
