Ames, Sept. 13.-Whether or not
Mrs. Minnie Douglas, of Adel played
whist for live pig and other prizes
offered by the club to the members
making the highest score is question
that may come up at the big annual
Des Moines conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church to be held in Ames
this week.
The case has become celebrated
one. Mrs. Douglas was ousted from
the Methodist church at Abel because
she played cards for prizes. Mrs.
Douglas declares she will bring the
matter to the attention of the church
conference at Ames. The decision of
the conference would be an important
one as it might result in ousting
prominent women all over the state
from the church.
There is a division of opinion among
the ministers of the Methodist church
regarding card playing and lively
discussion will ensue if Mrs. Douglas
appeals to them. While all frown on
card playing and playing for prizes
many think there is no more evil In
card playing in moderation than there
is in tennis or croquet.
II do not believe our church rules
intend to exclude women like Mrs.
Douglas from the church." a prominent
minister who arrived in Ames for the
conference is quoted as saying. In
my own church the most devout MEM

Hampton, Sept. 13.-One of the cases
that is likely to come up in the term
of the district court that will be con-
vened here soon is that of Emery STILES
VS.. the other heirs of e. S. Stiles, who
died in this city last December.
IThe elder Mr.. Stiles died leaving a
large estate and no heirs so far as
known in this part of the country ex-
cept the petitioner, Emery Stiles. In
case that the latter can not prove that
he is entitled to share in the estate, it
will likely go to the distant relatives Of
the elder Mr.. Stiles, as no children
were born to the couple.
The question of the title of Emery
Stiles to the estate seems to hinge
upon the question of whether or not
he was legally adopted as a son of the
farnily, adoption papers not having
been formally made out.
The petition that has been filed by
his attorneys, is lengthy and states
that Emery Stiles was the son of Sam
Jones, and that when he was years
old his father left Hampton, that being
in 1867, and went to Montana. Before
going he made arrangements with
James Thompson, Austin North, and
N. B. Chapman to find place, for the
boy and have him adopted. According
to the petition he was adopted into the
family of e. S. Stiles, and while the
contract was not in writing he asks
that he be declared to be the rightful
heir to the Stiles estate, the same as
tho he were the real son Of the couple.
Considerable interest will be created
here by the case because of the fact
that the Stiles family were among the
pioneers of the county and We're we'll
known to the older residents. They also
remember we'll the fact that Emery
lived with the family as son and was
such to all intents and purposes The
heirs of Mrs. Stiles are not entitled to
any share of the estate, as she decided
the property to her husband some time
before her death. All the heirs are
made defendants in the petition. They
are residents of New Jersey, and are
not known here, and even the elder
Stiles claimed that he did not know
that he had any relatives in the east
until just before his death. He died
without making a will. A. w. Beed of
the Franklin County State Bank was
appointed administrator of his estate.
1t was generally supposed that reg
u1ar adoption papers had been made
out in the case, as the petitioner has
been known under the name of Stiles
since 1867. when he began living at the
Stiles home. He has been in the circus
business for many years, and was here
a few days ago in charge Of Gollmar
Brothers nenagerie.

Iowa Falls, Sept. 13.-That the life

might be saved. the report comes from
st. Joe, Mo, that Frank II. Slayton,
now master mechanic of the st. Joe

ignited and flashed up, burning her
severely on the neck and face. She
was taken to the hospital but her
wounds did not heal, and so Mr.. Stay

MONEY TAKES WINGS.
Railway Agent MysteriousIy Shy 500
at Story City.

Story City, Sept. 13.-One hundred
dollars disappeared from the money
drawer in the Northwestern depot at
Story City one day last week, and so
far Agent Olson has been unable to
find any trace Of 1t. The drawer is
kept locked, which makes the disap-
pearance unexplainable on any hy-
pothesis except that someone has an
extra key which fits the lock The
loss of so much money will come hard
on Mr.. Olson, who according to the
rules of the company, will most likely
have to make it good.
The company has had a hard time
getting assistants at the depot there
this summer, the last man having just
quit and Mr.. Olson is now trying t., do
all the work himself. He has secured
services of his wife's sister, Miss May
selle McDole, to act as cashier, which
arrangement will very likely prove
very satisfactory.
