STORY OF GETTYSBURG
Mrs. Georgia Wade Mcclellan Gives
Entertaining Talk.

An entertainment Of the highest
patriotic order was conducted Tues
day evening In the court room under
the auspices of the Woman's Relief
Corps. The feature of the occasion
was the presence of Mrs. Georgia
Wade Mcclellan, national secretary
OF the woman's Relief Corps and a
remarkable woman. The mere fact of
the lady's presence in the city was
enough to attract great crowd to
the court room to hear her talk. Her
visit to the city and the opportunity
given to the public of meeting the
distinguished lady stands to the last
ing credit OF the management of the
Oskaloosa w. r. c.
Mrs Mcclellan is not an orator, but
she is forceful talker, and what she
lbs to say is told in a straightfor-
ward natter-of-fact manner, that both
interests and convinces. She makes
no attempt to employ word pictures
in the embellishments of the story
she has 10 tell. Her talk is made up
data. making story that attracts
all hearers Mrs. Mcclellan and her
sister were at Gettysburg. They liv-
ed in q house that stood in the
midst OF that great battlefield of con-
test and bloodshed.s Forgetting the
great personal risk they were taking
these sisters plunged into the thick
of the fight administering to the
wants of the wounded and the dying
in manner that has been made
test of arms. Mrs. Mcclellan tells
of the features of the battle and what
she and her sister did in a graphic
manner. The listener Is lost in the
narrative and the minutes pass un-
counted. One could hear the lady
tell Of the scenes of that battle all
night without being conscious of the
lapse of time. The listeners regret
ted when she had concluded. After
the entertainment many crowded
have the privilege of meeting her
personally. She was asked dozens
of questions by the old soldiers and
others, replying to all with gra-
ciousness that we'll became her char
acter. The social was as pleasing as
the entertainment itself. The sug-
gestion has been made that Mrs. Nc
Clelan be brought to the city at the
chautauqua, that more might have
the privilege of hearing her story
and when she would have opportunity
of going more into the details of the
bloody fight, as she saw it.
The other portions OF the entertain
ment were pleasing. making up an
evening of rare pleasure. The invo-
cation was pronounced by Rev. Allen
of the Central NJ. f. church. Music
was furnished by the c. H. U. quar-
tette, Miss Jennie Fry, and Frances
Holsworth. and readings were given
by Mrs: Lulu White, president of the
w. r. c. and Professor Dennis, of the
c. II. U. The audience was dismissed
by Rev. c. H. McCord, of the Chris
tian church.

ity of meeting the lady socially. She

the people she met here and was inn

HUSBANDS BREATH
KILLS WIFE'S LOVE
Eating Garlic Is Extreme Cruel
ty Rules Judge, and Grants
Woman a Divorce

OAKLAND, June 21.-Garlic every
Saturday night on her husbands breath
was too much for Mrs. Anna NJ. Ru-
dolph. she said. and Judge Ogden
thought so, too, for he awarded her an
interlocutory decree of divorce today
against George c. Rudolph, the hus-
band, after she had testified that he had
been cruel to her by eating garlic and
in other ways.
Mrs. Rudolph said that her husband S
habit of eating garlic on Saturday night
was confirmed and regular. one. He
always went to what she called a 'dago
dinner" on Saturday evening, return
ing home reeking with the fumes of
the odoriferous vegetable. She used to
chide him, but without avail, and their
quarrels about garlic were frequent.
The rift between them grew so great
that Rudolph, his wife testified, grew
to hate her and told her that he would
rather dig sewer than see her face.
He also took to drink. and the family
was at last broken up for good by his
leaving home. Rudolph is plumber
Minnie NJ. Effey was granted an in
terlocutory decree of divorce today
against Robert Effey on the ground of
cruelty. Mrs. Effey testified that her
husband once fired a rifle off next to
her head to frighten her and broke the
drum of her ear. She also said that he
was so niggardly about buying clothes
for her that she had to wear pasteboard
inside of her shoes because she had no

MODEL FORGER IS
POLICE PUZZLE
Donald A. Moore Arrested for
Passing Forged Checks, and
Officers Are Mystified

BERKELEY, June 21.-With the ar
rest and confession of Donald A. Moore
10 year old boy of this city, for for
geries aggregating $500 during the
last nine months in the various cities
of the coast the police of this city
have one of the most peculiar cases in
the annals of the department..
Moore. who comes of a good family
and has received q high school educa-
tion, neither drinks nor smokes, nor
does he care for fiashy clothing. He
is an unassuming young man, mild
hammered and never frequents the
cheaper places where boys and men on
the downward path delight to roam.
Chief Vollmer is puzzled over the
case and admits that he is baffied as to
the reasons why Moore devoted his time
and attention to forging checks in
with his education.
The only solution that I can make
of the mystery declared vollner after
Moore was placed under arrest this
afternoon, "is that he delights in beat
ing the game and thinks that he has a
system which will bring life of ease
without toll"
Young Moore, whose father, Orville
Moore. is a prominent hay, grain and
feed merchant at 1888 Parker street
commenced his career of crime last Oc-
tober, when he forged the name of his
father to a worthless check for $500
Shortly afterward he went TO Los An
geles, where he used the name of P. L.
Howe, manager of the Manhattan laun-
dry company. On this he secured $3.50
Since that time he has swindled the
Oakland Bank of Savings. the Wells
Fargo bank of San Francisco, the
Farmers and Merchants bank of Los
Angeles and passed two checks on the
First national bank of this city. The
total amount OF the checks forged by
him and to which he has confessed will
amount to nearly $1,000.
What he has done with the money
is mystery to the police. He did not
spend it in high living, nor did he buy
fancy articles of clothing. He had few
friends and is said by Vollmer not to
have associated with evil companions
Young Moore was located in Salt
Lake City after his last forgery a few
days ago and induced by his father to
return here. He was Immediately
placed under arrest.
F. HI. Colburn of the California bank
ers' association has been Investigating
the case and declared this afternoon
that prosecution would be pushed to
the limit.
