Council Bluffs, July S.-With the ad-
vent of genuine summer weather, the
ice question becomes matter of gen.
uine concern to housekeepers in Coun-
Gil Bluffs, the product costing them 81
cents hundred pounds, or $40 ton
This price was unheard of here OF
elsewhere, 1t is claimed. until this
year, and some who are inclined te
question the claim that the law OF
supply and demand dominates the
present price, call attention to the
fact that in Corning, ice is delivered
this year at price many times below
$40 ton, and that the product there
could be marketed here at handsome
profit if there is any real shortage.
In Corning. ice is supplied at the
residences at the rate of 81 month
without regard to quantity, or $12 fol
the season of six months The price OF
dee here has gradually increased veal

having been the ruling price about
three years ago, or just 80 per cent
lower than this year.
Meat market men who are required
to pay So cents a hundred for their
ice, say that the high price Of the
cooling product has added to the high
cost of meats and the result, they
claim, is shown already in the falling
off in the consumption of meats of all
kinds. The Council Bluffs ice dealers
claim that there is no combination in
existence between them as to the
price to be charged for ice, but one
price rules among them. Probably SO
per cent Of the ice sold here is the
artificial product, and is manufactured
by one firm, which recently doubled
its capacity for making ice. Thus far
this summer, the weather has been abb
normally cool and the demand for ice
correspondingly low.
Numerous plants for ice have been
installed in southwestern Iowa the past
year, and the demand for the natural
product has greatly decreased, lessen
ing the liability to an ice famine in the
future. Altho the season is well adj
vanced, the city of villisca Is construct
ing an ice plant and several others
are contemplated In the smaller towns
where the supply is said to be short,
owing to the variable winter.

JEWS WE'D At FORT DODGE.
Louis Pinsker Sends Back to Russia
for His Sweetheart.

Special to Republican.
FIT. Dodge. July S.-The first Jewish
wedding celebrated here In years, was
that of Miss Emma Weisbrodt and
Mr.. Louis Pinsker, which took place at
the home of Joe Steinberg. The couple
were married by Rabbi Cohen, of Des
Moines. Some time ago, the groom
sent back to Russia for his sweetheart
and she Immediately embarked for this
country to join her lover and marry
him here. At Ellis Island she was de-
tanned by the authorities, who do not
now let foreign girls leave there until
they have proper affidavits that they
are to be fairly and rightly treated at
the end of their destination. Securing
this after some delay, the bride came
on to Fort Dodge.
A curious feature of the ceremony
which followed was the enactment of
the old Jewish custom that the bride
shall circle around the groom seven
times before she is given away. After
this ceremony, the rabbi read SER
vice which consumed about fifteen
rninutes and was read in Hebrew. Fol-
lowing this the guests enjoyed ban
quet, the bride and groom being COM
PEELED by Jewish rites to fast during
the day.

Council Bluffs, July S.-Learning OF

accident. and not until week after

ence Of a family of Iowans In the
city today were n. Swanson. postmas-
ter at Crescent, and DR.. j. H. Swanson

brother, P F. Swanson, who was killed
in a street car collision in that city
death thru the accidental finding OF a
copy of a Denver newspaper, contain
ing an account of the accident and a
picture Of the dead brother The
Messrs. Swanson are ignorant as to
why their brother left no clue to the
whereabouts of his near relatives. The
body Of the unfortunate man was bur-
ried in Denver last Sunday. 1t will be
exfumed and brought to Crescent for
-interment.
P. F. Swanson left Crescent about
fourteen years ago. since which time
he has been living in various places
in the west. He had been in Denver
about two years. He was in the employ
of a fruit company, and was about TO
marry Miss Mamie Heisel, of Denver,
whose picture adorned the same page
of the Denver paper in which Swan
sons features were shown. According
to the meager advices which the
brothers have, Swanson was driving on
one of the business streets of Denver,
when his rig was hit by street car,
throwing him out upon his head and
fracturing his skull He died three
hours later, at the county hospital. AS
no relatives appeared to claim the
body, and the authorities had no i'm
formation gof relatives, the body was
buried by the city authorities.
An element of tragedy aside from
the tragic end to Swanson's life, en-
tiers into the story as related by the
Denver paper. 1t is stated that Swan
son was protecting his fiance from the
advances of an undesirable sutton, at
the time of his death. In a letter adj
dressed to this man, which was found
in Swanson's pocket, Swanson had
written: 'In the event that you do
not accept my terms, you will go to
the county Jail for a long term"
What the terms were, or what prompt
ed the letter, was not indicated in any
manner

Mason City, July Sin spite Of the
extensive advance billing of Ringing
circus in this city and at Fort Dodge
it appears as tho the two towns
would not be visited by the great show
this summer and that the billing was
done merely to rob the Hagenbeck-
Wallace show Of patronage. The Ring
ling show passes thru Iowa about the
middle of the month. playing Atlantic,
Des Moines and Algona, the last
named place being visited on the 18th.
From Algona, this show goes far north
into Minnesota and from that date,
the bookings are complete up to the
second week, in towns Of Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. On
the posters placed in this vicinity and
about Fort Dodge, the legend was that
the great Ringing shows were coming
soon, but no definite date was men
toned If the great circus does visit
this city and Fort Dodge, it will OF
necessity be on a return trip thru the
west, and late In the season.
