OLD MANS DARLING? NO!

Mrs. Josephine Peterson, Of kensett,
Given Freedom by Divorce.
Special to Times-RepubIlcan
Mason City, Nov. 19.-F'ive months
Of being an old mans darling was
enough for Mrs. Josephine Peterson, of
Kensett, who has just been granted a
decree Of divorce from John Peterson,
a rich property holder of the same
place. The plaintiff in the case is 80
years Of age, but looks ten years
younger, while the defendant has ar
rived at the ripe old age Of 63. Mrs.
Peterson petitioned for $4,000 alimony,
but the exact amount she received was
kept secret by the principals and the
attorneys in the case. The petition tells
a story Of how the plaintiff married
the defendant last spring, thinking him
to be benevolent, kind-hearted old
gentleman who would treat her as a
father She had known him since
girlhood But she was sadly disap-
pointed, for within two months it is
alleged he became violent, unreason-
able and Jealous" The defendant did
not appear to contest the petition. The
young Divorce is strikingly handsome,
and appeared in court here extrava-
gantly and modishly attired.

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Nov. 19.-No trace
has yet been found of Edward p. Fitch,
the well known Council Bluffs lecturer
and man of leisure, who became lost
somewhere in the vicinity of London.
After inquiry at every hospital IN
London, publication Of notices in the
principal newspapers of that city, and
assistance from the London police, AM
bassador Reid has cabled to the state
department at Washington, that he Is
unable to get any trace of him. The
information contained in the cable
gram was transmitted by Assistant
Secretary of State Bacon this morn
ing, to Congressman Smith.
It is now believed by Mr.. Fitchs
relatives and friends here, that he be-
came so i'll as to be forced to leave
the train en- route to London, and
that he may have undergone an oper-
alton in some hospital between the
coast and London. The effort to To-
cate him is being continued, and a
full description has been sent by
wire, and a photograph by mail.
Mr.. Fitch went to Europe about the
first of September, for a short tour.
chiefly in England and France. On
Oct. 13 he gave orders to the Amer
lean Express company to forward his
mail to it's Paris office, up to Oct. 10.
1t is known that he was in Paris.
but he did not call for his mail. This
is not regarded as strange, however,
owing to the fact that Mr.. Fitch did
not expect mail of any Importance in
Paris, and doubtless expected to call
for his mail just before leaving for
home. He expected to sail from
Northampton for New York on Oct.
20.
The last news from Mr.. Fitch was
a letter written by him on Oct 20,
on a train between the English coast
and London. In previous letters to his
sisters in Council Bluffs, he had spok-
en- Of feeling badly, but did not ap-
prehend serious illness, evidently, as
he was continuing his sight seeing. In
the letter of Oct. 20 he related that
Il
he had become so i'll that he was
forced to consult a local physician.
who told him the symptoms indicated
appendicitis, and advised an immed-
late operation.
The fact that this interview had to
be carried on entirely thru the aid
of an interpreter, however, caused Mr..
Fitch to feel that he would be better
off if he went to England for the
operation, and he Immediately started
for London. 1t is not known which
of the several lines across the channel
he took, but on the train for London
he wrote the letter referred to. In it
he spoke of the pain he was suffering,
and from this fact it is believed that
his condition may. have become SO crit
ical that it was Impossible for him to
reach London.
The question is, where is Mr.. Fitch?
The members Of the family feel keen
ly the effect Of the suspens.

of od-style "grandfather's" clock
among the personal effects of the late
Mrs Susan A. Bamberger is ticking
away a century. The clock stands at
the Bamberger home on West Fourth
street and since it has become more
generally known that the clock is
among the old things which have
come down from an early day to the
present generation hundreds Of visitors
have called and examined the vener-
able timepiece which is nearing cen-
fury in age and keeps correct time to-
day.
The clock had been in the possess
sion of Mrs. Bamberger for seventy one
years. it having been gift from her
own parents when she was married
that long ago at Shaferstown, Pa.
The clock has been in Waterloo fifty
years last March, at which time Mr..
and Mrs. Bamberger came here from
ITreeport, where they resided the first
two years after coming west from
their Pennsylvania home. OF course
the clock was hauled from Dubuque
to the point at the early date in a
wagon.
1t is not known how old the clock
was when presented to Mrs. Bam-
berger.
The clock case stands some eight
feet high and is designed along full
lines with columns and much carved
work. It's face is as bright and clean
as the day it first indicated time. The
wood of the clock is of highly polished
cherry and the surface has almost
the sheen of satin wood.
The works are of brass, strong and
durable, and the heavy weights orig
inally used in the clock are still do
ing duty over the same old pulleys.
The clock is valuable as it is q
specimen of workmanship that has
almost entirely disappeared, there be-
ing comparatively few specimens Of
the genuine "grandfather's" clocks in
the country at this time. 1t has been

values of old pieces of furniture and
clocks of this kind that the Bamber-
ger clock would bring a sum not
much less than $1,000. 1t is certain
that it would bring this amount If
placed on auction in some of the large
eastern cities.
AS the old clock has licked the days
away the hundreds of Incidents that
have transpired around it would make
an interesting history Imagination
runs riot when it is attempted to pic
ture the many changes that have oc-
Cured in the past seventy years. Dur
ing their early residence in Waterloo
Mr.. and Mrs. Bamberger had charge of
the Cedar Valley hotel, the structure
now standing at the corner of Second
and Commercial streets, and old trav-
elers have said that the clock was one
of the chief ornaments of the hotel.
