A Little Girls Feat.

Little Miss Evelyn Albee OF Alma
Center may deservedly be called a
heroine. A few days ago, while play
ing near an open well. she accidentally
stepped in. The well was IS feet deep,
with six feet Of water. Her playmate
heard the splash, but was too fright
ened to call for assistance. Miss Eve
lyn, who is not six years old yet, was
equal to the occasion and clambered
to the top, unaided and unharmed.
How did she do it," is the general
question asked, but no one but the
lady herself knows, and she wishes to
forget 1t. That she wasn't hurt In
some way was truly remarkable

extraordinary degree"
He may have won the favor of the

French, but he has not yet succeeded
in winning my favor"
That's a pity" said Lady Hawk
shaw; but it doesn't signify, l dare
say. 1t will not keep you alive a day
longer. And there is your other
cousin-Capt. Overton of the Guards.
He is what so few OF our young men
are, pious and God-fearing."

"Bless me, Sir Thomas" cried Lady
Hawkshaw. don't be so hard on these
worthy people. the Methodists"
l own this surprised me, for II there
was anything on earth upon which
Lady Hawkshaw was uncompromising,
1t was church and state; and, excel
lent woman though she was, believe
she would have been rather glad to
make one big bonfire Of all the dis
senters In England.
Sir Thomas was far from insensible
to Lady Arabella's charms, and, after
a further exchange of hostilities with
Lady Hawkshaw. turned to Arabella.
She smiled upon him, and seemed anx-
ious to conciliate him; and in a little
while caught enough of their CONVEX
sation to know that she was telling
him Of the meeting between Giles and
Overton, and representing that it had
been forced upon Overton by the in
suits of Giles Vernon. Sir Thomas
response to her tale was that he did
not give damn for either of them,
and If both had bit the dust he should
not have been sorry.
When Sir Thomas left, Lady Hawk
shaw called the tall footman.
"Jeames,' she said, when that
person calls again, the ladies are not
at home. Do you understand"
James understood perfectly, in spite
of Lady Arabellas scowls.
1t is not to be supposed that young
man of Giles Vernon's spirit had not
been able to go through with his prize
money and run pretty considerably in
debt in five or six weeks in London,
and one morning, some days after this,
when l went to see Giles at his lodg-
ings. found the bailiffs in possession.
Giles, however, was as merry as a
grig,' because that very morning he
had got an appointment to the Belvi-
dera frigate.
1t was not much after having served
in the Ajax, but 1t meant leaving that
uncertain and trying element, dry land,
for another element on which Giles
was much more At home. to-wit, the

Iowa Victim Through Court orde
Beats SafebIowers to Possession
Contents in Doubt.

Davenport, Iowa March 1.-The vic
tim of an alleged swindle plot and the
courts Saturday raced with safeblow
ers for possession of three packages
supposed to contain $4,000, shipped
to Davenport by prisoners at Little
Rock, Ark. Soon after the packages
had been taken under attachment pro
ceedings from an express Office the
safe of club to which they were ad
dressed was blown. The thieves got
only 5000.
The packages seized were addressed
to Monty Mccall, care of local
club. Mccall now is one of the pris
oners at Little Rock, but once made
his headquarters here. John E. Cav
anaugh, the man who caused the seiz
ure, alleges that he was defrauded out
of $37 900 by members of the gang in
a fake wrestling match. He gained
information of the packages sen
north and hopes to recover through
the courts.
At present. however. the contents
Of the packages are only a matter Of
conjecture. They were shipped under
a nominal valuation of $25 each
charges prepaid.
The express packages probably will
be allowed to remain unopened, depos
tied in safety vaults, until produced
under order of the district court here
at the April term.

BIG METEOR FALLS

Probably the largest meteor ever
seen near Oskaloosa lighted up the
heavens with a brilliancy surpassed
only by that of the sun for period
of about four seconds, at 9:55 o'clock
Sunday night. The transient body
was visible in the southwest, becoming
luminous on account. of the heat gen.

DEATH OF WILLETS
Few Developments In case--In-
quest to BE- Held Thursday.

1t will never be known how Jas. VIII
let's met his death other than he was
fanna Trojan in the mud in the ditch
near Bolton saturday morning. Fri
day he was III oskaloosa with his wife
and two children and was also with
John Wells OF Bolton and John Hum
mel OF this city. He returned ON the
o. train, accompanied by George
Hickman. His wife went home with
out him from the Bolton switch and
Willetts and Richman, who had been
drinking, wandered OH together down
the path through the Richard Hull
field. They had a bottle and jug with
them. John Wells in going home says
he heard them in the field but could
not see them as it was getting dusk.
About 10 o'clock at night Mr.. Hulls
dog was heard barking and it is
thought that the two men must have
passed there about that time. Both
men probably fell accidentally into the
ditch, for Mr.. Richman says that all
he can remember of the occurrence is
that he got home sometime after mid
night with mud all over his clothes.
The deceased was about forty-fiYe
years Of age and the father of fiye
children. The mother and family are
PROSTATE over the affair. Funeral ser
vices were held Monday afternoon at
