A Cowboys Girl.
POSITIVELY Not Duplicated.)

POSITIVELY Not Duplicated.)
In presenting "a Cowboy Girl" which
is to be at the opera house Thursday
Oct. s, it is with every confidence in it's
ability to please. The attraction has
been before the public for five seasons
and during that time has toured the en-
tire continent number of times, each
season returning to larger attendance.
The production this season is new
throughout and the very finest that
could possibly be secured. "a Cowboys
Girl" is not a society drama, whose
scenes are laid in the handsome draw
ing room of some millionaires palace,
but story of the "Lone Star State
with it's scenes laid under the bright
canopy of heaven which stretches away
in the distance as far as the eye can see
and then rolls on unbroken to the ends
of the world. 1t is under this blue
vaulted dome on the wild prairie that
they raise such men as "a Cowboy Girl
tells about, men whose daring deeds
and bravery in the face of almost GER
to revere their name and memory. We
have only to turn to the pages of hiss
tory, there to see enrolled with the
heroes, now past and gone, the names
OF Huston, Crockett and the long list
who persisted in The Alamo. 1t is of
such men as these that "a Cowboys
Girl tells about, younger perhaps, bus
bearing the same stamp of chivalry and
heroism that their ancestors bore when
they first crossed the plains to wrestle
from the Mexican and Indian, what is
now the state of Texas. Thursday Oct. s.

MUST SHOW TICKETS.
After October 18th all Passengers
Must Show Their Tickets Be-
fore Getting on the Train.

Travelingmen and train men, too, are
not pleased at recent rule adopted by
the Western Passenger Association
which compels every passenger boarding
train on any road in Iowa to show his
ticket before he is permitted to mount
the car steps.
Notice OF the rule, which takes effect
Oct. ID, is being received with varying
degrees of emotion.
The rule applies to every station in
Iowa. Because Of the short hour day
law forbidding telegraph operators to
work longer than SO many hours, many
SMALL stations DO not remain open after
night at all. This results is the pay
ment of cash fares. Travclingmen are
asking how they can show tickets when
boarding trains at these towns if they
cannot buy tickets to show.
Another complaint among travelling
men is that if he has big suit case in
each hand and a crowd is boarding the
train, he is greatly discommoded to pro-
dnce his ticket unless he takes the
pasteboard in his teeth and shakes it 1t
the trainmaD like cat shaking mouse.
Women with babies in arm are also an
ticipating trouble. AS for the trainmen,
they say it will cause greater delay in
boarding the trains.
But the rule has it's good points. 1t
will keep passengers of the wrong trains
and it will compel every passenger to
have ticket, thus doing away with the
troubles incident to paying cash fares
to the conductors.
The states in which the rule is to be
observed are Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Minnesota and Ar
kansas.

He Doped Her Coffee.

The following account Of the marital
troubles of a couple who were former
residents Of this city, appeared last
week in the Des Moines Register and
Leader:
Belle Zeigler, the laundress for G. M.
Hippee, yesterday secured divorce
from her husband, Andrew Zeigler, in
Judge Brennans court, on allegation
that her husband had tried to poison
her and had contributed but Sc year
to her support in the past five years.
Mrs. Zeigler claimed her husband
gave her poison in cup of coffee. He
arose early, she averred, and got break
fast. This, she told the Judge, was UNI
usual, for he never works. When she
came down stairs, she said, he had the
table all set, the coffee poured and
everything ready.
One cup of the coffee, she said con-
WINGED her that all was not we'll. 1t
didn't taste right and she Immediately
became deathly sick. She cried for help,
she averred, but her husband refused
it, poured all the cofee from the cup
into the sink and then hurried from the
house.
Mrs. Zeigler says she then ran to the
AAouAO VI @ ASAs,hoois "hOIo ouC Woo
overcome by the effects of the drug.
Her face became swollen, she recited,
and her lips grew blue. And she says
she didn't recover for several hours.
This statement was corroborated by
neighbor woman who took the stand.
But Mrs. Zeigler presented other
reasons for divorce. She said her bus
band never works, has absolutely failed
to support her and that every stitch of
clothing she then had on was given her
by friends and neighbors. Lots of days,
she said, she would have been forced to
go hungry had it not been for the kind
ness of neighbors.
Mrs. Zeigler had several witnesses
with her, but when the court had
listened to her story, and that of the
neighbor women, he stopped the hear,
ing and granted the decree.
The husband did not show up to fight
the case.

ident of Leon, died at his home at

away. He was buried at Council Bluffs

oner, summoned a jury and went to view
the body. The body was terribly man.
gled and torn to pieces. After it was
gathered up it was identified by Mr..
Ash and his son Fred and several others
as Edward Ash. The clothing served
as the principal means Of Identification.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury was
that the remains were those of Edward
Ash. and that he came to his death by
being run over by train. The body
was brought to this city and prepared
for burial.
The indications are that young Ash
committed suicide. Near the fence in
a cornfeld bordering the railroad track
was found his coat and shoes. In the
shoes he had placed his money and a
bunch of keys. From the way the body
was mutilated, it would seem that the
young man lay down on the track and
let a train run over him. He was prob
ably killed by an east bound train some
mains were scattered for more than a
hundred yards up the track. The train
crew evidently did not see him, as no
report was made Of it.
Thomas Girdner was taken to the Nc
Beth boarding house in this city, and
on Sunday morning Drs. Perry, Bristow
and Stacy performed an operation on
him. Girdner was conscious up to the
time of being put under the influence
of chloroform and made statement Of
the difficulty.
The physicians found that the bullet
entered his left side just below the
ribs, ranged downward, passing over
the stomach, cutting the colon and
passing throug the liver and right kid
ney. The bullet was not located.
Young Girdner rallied after the oper-
alton and later discussed the difficulty
with his friends. However, in spite of
all the physicians could do, he grad
ua]ly grew weaker and died at II o'clock
Monday morning.
After the death of Thomas Girdner,
acting coroner Hadley Alley and Prose
cutting Attorney Kesterson prepared to
hold an inquest. A jury was summoned
and went to view the body. They then
adjourned until next Monday, when
evidence in the matter will be taken
here.
The body of Thomas Girdner was pre-
pared for burial and taken to the homo
of his parents east of town. The funeral
was held Tuesday at the residence, con-
Quoted by DR.. Carothers. The remains
were inferred in the Pine cemetery.
The funeral of Edward Ash was held
at the home of his parents north Of
town, Monday morning, Rev. Hickman
conducted the services, after which the
remains were taken to the Princeton
cemetery for interment.
The tragedy caused much excitement
in the neighborhood, as both parties
were we'll know and bore good reputa-
tions. Quite large crowd was in town
all day Sunday, friends Of Ash and
Girdner coming to view the remains OF
the former and to inquire as to the con-
dition Of the latter. The affair is very
much regretted and much sympathy for
the families of the two boys is ex.
pressed.

When Senator James A. Hemen-
way, of Indiana, was campaigning in
Southern Indiana recently, he deliv-
erred an address before an audience
Of farmers in country school house.
In the course of his remarks, says
an exchange, he reviewed the great
agriculturalprosperit of the country,
and as an illustration told q story of
q poor farmer who had died, leaving
to his wife the farm heavily mort
gagged. He said that the widow set
/ to work with a will and succeeded
upon one years wheat crop in paying
off the entire mortgage.
When he had completed his speech,
the Senator, as is customary on such
occasions, shook hands and greeted
the members of his audience. One
middle-aged farmer finally approach
ed him thoughtfully and began:
Senator, you tole story bout
the widow raising mortgage on one
years crop?"
Yes, my friend, that was a true
story. It happened only last year,
during our prosperous times"
Senator, could you tell me who
that widow is?" queried the farmer.

been lookin' for all the time.
