Grinnell, Nov. 20. = The many
friends of Miss Procine Moss have
learned of her marriage on the, 18th of
this month to Mr.. j. e. johnson, at
Thurman, Col, near which place they
will reside for the present, upon the
ranch which she acquired there last
year.
The e. w. Fisher family have just
moved into the fine new dwelling that
Mr. Fisher has just completed on his
farm near Chester Center.
Parn Kirkpatrick, who was to have
had his preliminary hearing before
Justice S. H. Crosby on Saturday
next, on the charge of assault with
intent to commit great bodily injury"
upon the person of his wife, waived
preliminary examination and took his
case before the grand jury at their
sitting of last week at Montezuma.
That body indicted him. and he
furnished new bonds for his APP
pearance at the present term OF court
A man giving his name as William
S. Powell, and Oshkosh, Wis, as his
home, had his preliminary hearing
Yesterday afternoon before Justice j..
F. Wilson, on the charge of assault
with intent to commit rape" and was
bound over in the sum of $500 to APP
pear before the grand jury at its next
sitting. At latest report, he was UNI
able to furnish bonds, and was in Jail.
He is one of a number of canvassers
at present working this city in the in
terest of a party renovating feathers
and making over feather beds into
mattresses. The alleged crime is said
to have taken place on Monday after
noon last at the home Of e. H. Spauld-
ing, in the absence of all the family
but a domestic recently from Den
mark and unable to speak English
language with enough readiness to be
understood very we'll. Bernard t.
Shaw, of Newton, has been codnpan-
ion canvasser with Powell, tho SEEM
ingly having no immediate connection
with this affair nor any direct know
ledge of it, He was put under bonds
to appear as witness before the
grand jury, as was also the COM
plainant, Miss Larsen. Powell denies
having ever been at the Spauldlng
residence, or even knowing at the
time of the alleged crime where the
residence is located. Evidence OF
Poweli's previous actions along the
line of intimate correspondence with
numerous women in various localities,
was found in a mass of letters con-
tanned in a valise in his possession
and claimed by him, which is now IN
possession of the officers OF the law
Many of these are said to be OF
nature not admissible to the mails,
and they seem to show by their ad-
dresses that he has several aliases.
This evidence was not allowed by the
Justice to be admitted in the prellm-
mary hearing, as having no i'm
mediate bearing upon the present
charge.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Hodson, OF
Anes an bounce to their large circle
of friends in Grinnell, the birth OF a
daughter. Mrs. Hodson was formerly
Miss Faith Douglass of this city.
Mrs. S. H. Crosby has just started
on a visit to her parents, in Taladega,
Ala, expecting to be there until after
the holidays.

Iowa's Team Remade.

sopeCIdl 70 ILIeS-INePuUIICdI.
Iowa City, Nov. 20.-Iowa's team,
remade by Coach Catlin since the
disastrous Drake game of a week ago
will make it's last stand of the season
against the Kansas team on Iowa field
tomorrow and whether the open play
of the Hawkeyes will work smoothly
enough to offset the 100 pound line
of the Jayhawkers is the question
which is bothering the under grad
yates.
That Kansas will be overconfident is
the belief here and the Hawkeyes are
preparing to take advantage of the
many substitutions coach Kennedy is
planning to make.

Cow Stuff and Common Steers
Taken at Slightly Better
Figures
WEAKNESS IN HOG MARKET
This Resulted From Liberal Receipts
and Lack of Support on Part of Buy
ers-DecIine Ranges From Shade to
Five to Ten Lower-sheep Market
Weak. .l.4..ua.a3

Chicago, Nov 20-Cattle offerings
contained little stuff of quality, and
trade generally was steady. Packers
took some COW stuff and common steers
at slightly better figures than pre-
vailed yesterday.
Taken all around the outlet for cat
the price fluctuations narrower than
were expected~by most Of the traders,
but with the Thanksgiving holiday one
week away killers are discounting the
effect of poultry consumption on the
beef situation and are not encouraging
liberal runs next week. After the ex-
cessive shipping this week conservative
operations seem in order. Killers need
an opportunity to work off recent pur-
chases.
Hogs.
Heaviest hogs were al shade lower,
and others were off 5@10 cents. Weak
ness resulted from liberal receipts and
lack of support on the part Of buyers.
There were not many animals of de-
sirable quality on sale. Shipping orders
were fair for Friday.
While the market is a little lower
than a week ago, it is not bad actor
when supply is considered, the four
day run being $4,000 in excess of last
week, while the gain so far in Novem-
Der over 1907 is 100000. There was
no scarcity of hogs at other points,
the six western markets having about
sc, 900, or 10000 more than a year ago,
and 10000 more than last week. Four
day arrivals at these points are about
the same as last week, but $4,000
more than year ago.
1t is evident either that hogs are
worth the money ar that packers are
playing gigantic bluff. They evident
ly realize that this heavy movement
will break off suddenly at some time
in the near future, developing bare
spot that will send prices kiting. Mean
while, their obvious policy is to put
away all the hog product possible, and
to heavier i. is the better they like
it.
Sheep.
Sheep were weak.
While feeders are clamorous for stuff
they are unable to do more than a
meagre business on a glutted market.
The making of prices is solely in the
hands of killers and the stuff is selling
at bargain prices. Mutton is easily the
cheapest meat on the list under pres
ent conditions.

A resume of the work of the Tuscum- bia Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy for the year 1908:
 The year 1908 has proven a very prosperous time in the history of the Tuscumbia Chapter, under the guid- ance of our President. Mrs. A. N. Carmichael, who is most earnest, able worker, by her enthusiasm creat- ing and stimulating work among all of the members.
 The Treasurer. Miss Ernestine Ko- gan, fills that office so competently. At nearly every regular meeting new names AS applicants for membership. are being presented. The present en- rollment Is eighty-three.
 The Chapter has responded very gem erously to nearly every call made upon 1t, to the scholarship fund, and to va rious monuments and memorials to Southern heroes.
 All memorial days ares fittingly ob- served by the Chapter. As the day set apart to revere the. memory of JeffeF- son Davis was too indictment to observe, at the chapter meeting a few days later a short appropriate little ser vice was held. But the crowning work of the Chapter is it's desire to erect a monument to Colbert County,s Con- federate dead. As loyal Southern daughters, we wish to honor our own county's heroes, by lovingly placing a beautiful monument to their memory. In just little over a year the Chapter has raised nearly a thousand dollars for this most worthy cause, and the members will continue to strive until they have raised a suitable amount for the monument.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-12-27

Wilson, with his division comfnander, made careful inspection of the de- 1ences, and the sketch of the fortifica- lions. which an English engineer. ern-s ployed in their construction, had given aim. was surprisingly accurate. and we doubt not he also discovered the posi- ton held by the State militia.

 Inexperienced State militia, which again
