Stern Father Threatens to Dis
inherit Daughter Married
in Sioux City.

Correctionville, Ia, March 16.-To all
appearances Albert Dunbar and bride,
nee Bessie Wenbourne, who were mar
ricd in Sioux City Thursday of this
week, are just rs happy as though the
brides father was not so opposed to
the match that he declares his daugh-
ter Will never get a cent of his money.
In fact, there is a pretty creditable ru-
NOR that he went to the length of
making his will disinheriting her before
he moved to Canada, recently.
To be disinherited by William G..
Wenbourne means something, too. He
owns 1,200 acres of land Just west OF
this town, which he could sell for about
500 per acre. Then he has recently,
purchased several sections of good land
in Canada and last month moved there,
with his wife and two younger children,
leaving his daughter Bessie behind. She

a mere matter of parental whim, but

bourne's good standing In this commun-
ity was shown last December when she

Des AIoines, Ia, March 1G.--Drisen
by an insistent conscience to break q
10 years silence after having sent his
uncle to the penllentiary for life on
charge of murder, James Ogg, of Lis
comb yesterday swore that he had lied,
and dramatically pointed to E. l. Ev-
crest, a Marshall county farmer, as the
real murderer. Demanding that he be
allowed to testify under oath, Everest
denied the charge and denounced Ogg
as a liar.
Before the legislative committee on
penitentiaries and pardons considering
the application of William Adams for
freedom from the penitentiary, accuser
and accused told their stories yesterday
afternoon, while a score of men wit
messed the sensational scene. Frank
Cummings of Marshalltown, former
representative. and T. Binford, prom
inent Marsllalltown attorney, We're ac-
cused by Ogg of frightening him and
compelling him to make the statement

swore that his charges We're fabrica-

Adams was sentenced from Marshall
county 10 years ago for the murder of
his uncle, Charles Russell The pIin-
cipal witness for the state was James
! Ogg. then a boy Of IA years old. He

poison which caused Russell's death,

induced Russell to drink the beer into
which Adams had put the poison Rus

ELECTRIC MACHINE
SAVES MUCH. TIME
The Electric Motor Made to do Con-
eraI Work Around the House.

The electric motor has now appeared
in the role of general assistant around
the household, and in this capacity it
can be made to do numberless tasks
which will relieve the housekeeper to
the extent of saving her time allow
ing her with the machines help to give
her attention to several things at the
same time. For instance. instead of
devoting herself for some time in turn
ing and feeding the meat chopper, she
has but to roll the motor up to the
chopper and make the necessary con-
nection between them. and then turn
on the current. In this manner, the
operation can go on with only occa-
sional attention from the housekeeper
or servant, who may in the meantime
devote herself to other work.
There is much work of this charac-
ter which may be done by the motor.
