Rev. j. p. Morley went to Des
Moin9s to attend the meeting of the
State Horticultural Association. He
will go from there TO Indianola TO at
tend a meeting of the board of trustees
of Simpson college. He is on the pro
gram of the horticultural association of
the state for paper on the subject of
'Counteracting Frost Injury with Or
chard Heaters" This is the first we
had heard of the horticultural interest
of DIR. Morley. -Marengo Republican.
Judge Wheeler wound up his an
nual term of court Wednesday morning
and left for Council Bluffs TO make
merry with his family during the holi-
day season. The judge visited at home
last Sunday going especially to meet a
brother who was on his way from the
hospital at Rochester to his home at
Guthrie, Oklahoma. They were all
much rejoiced because of the successful
outcome of the operation. He was grad
ually starving to death. 1t was thot he
had cancer of the stomach. But when
it was opened there was no cancer.
The tissues about the duodenum had
practically closed that organ and caused
enlargement of the stomach. The it's
sues were loosened and fold taken in
the stomach to reduce it to proper size.
The patient didn't miss meal and is
rapidly recovering his former health
and strength.

Charles johnson Dies Suddenly.

About 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. Chas. johnson, ST., dropped dead at
his home in Audubon, and the funeral
service is being held from the Presby-
terrain church at 2 o'clock this after
noon. Mrs. johnson left him in the
sitting room and stepped outside to take
some clothes from the line. Hearing a
noise in the house she returned hastily
and found that her husband had fallen
to the floor against the door which he
arose to open for neighbor's little girl
who had raped on the outside. Mr..
johnson never spoke again and died in
a few minutes His sudden death is
not surprising because he had suffered
more or less from heart trouble for
number of years. An obituary will APP
pear in our next issue.

SKELETON HAS BEEN FOUND

Newark, N. j.. Dec. S0.-That the
woman whose charred skeleton was
found several weeks ago hidden In the
roof OF an abandoned building OF the
ESSEX County Insane asylum was Mrs.
Katherine Under. and that she was
beaten to death by three OF the women
nurses and her body secreted In the
roof with the cognlzance Of Dr. Daniel
N. Dill. superintendent OF the hospital.
Ia the substance OF an AFFIDAVIT made
by Mrs. Francesca Hinkel. 253 Wash
ington street. Newark
The AFFIDAVIT. which was placed In
the hands OF Prosecutor Mott. says
Mrs. HInkel visited the hospital on
Feb. 25. 1894. to take away hor daugh-

waiting for the discharge papers Mrs.
Under. an aged woman. came into the

suddenly" says the affidavit. "A
nurse appeared and dragged Mrs. Lin
der by her hair into a side room Two
other nurses ran up. While one OF
them sat on the miserable woman's
feet the other two beat and kicked
her. and one of them finally struck
her a terrific blow on the head with a
chair. splintering IL with tho force Of
the blow and lnnictng a deep wound
on Mrs Linder's skull"
The nurse would have struck Mrs.
Under again as she lay unconscious.
but Mira. Hinkel seized the chair and
held back her arm.
She says that when she went down
stairs 10 the main hall she met Dr.
Dill and told him OF what had hap
pened. lie replied. she swears:
THE best thing for you to do Is
to 90 home and mind your own busl-
ness"
That evening Mrs. Hinkel was visit
ed by enc OF the nurses. who told her
that Mrs l.ilder was dead and had
died two hours after the beating. This
nurse told Mrs. Hinkel to say nothing
or they would see that her daughter
was committed TO the asylum. As Mrs
Hinkel's daughter was herself badly
bruised and had received cut on her
foai while In the institution. Mrs.
Hnkel she says. has since kept ST.
lence for the daughters sake.
Superintendent Dill denied there
had ever been a patient named Lin
der at the hospital The prosecutors
investigation has so far revealed a
mass OF inaccuracies and omissions in
the asylum records.

by Bursting Boiler.
SEVERAL BARELY ESCAPED
Bodies Were Terribly Mutslated,
One Being Blown to Pieces by
Explosion at Electric Plant
at West Reading.

Reading. Pa, Dec. 30.-A boiler ex'
plosion that could be heard for squares
killed Ave men at the new plant OF
the Metropolitan Electric company IN
West Reading.
The dead are: Elmer Dengler, OF
Mount Penn. twenty-one years old. a

about three months: Frank Cola c1r
penters helper Reading. about TWEEN
tyfve years OF age
All were terribly mutIlated with the
exception OF Lynch. Cooney's body was
torn to pieces. There was trouble in
collecting the missing parts. which
we're scattered far and wide.
Martin was torn about the head and
chest. The men were thrown several
hundred feet from the boiler house.
Martins body was blown over a high
willow tree and was found lying along
the tracks Of the Pennsylvania rail
road a distance OF about 200 feet from
the scene.
The men were employees OF Sims &
Co. the contractors who are erecting
the power house at this point
The mon had just reached the scene
to begin the days work when one OF
the forty horse power boilers used TO
make steam for the concrete mixer
exploded The night Waterman had
left a few minutes before.
The boiler house was wrecked and
the framework scattered In all direc-
tions. The five men were in the little
frame boiler house when the boiler
exploded. other employees had left the
building TO begin their work. Snow
was falling at the time and as the
men were hurled 70 the ground the
fakes soon spread thin white blan-
ket over their remains.
In few minutes news Of the hor-
ror reached this city and physicians
and ambu'anccs were sent for Coro-
ner Strasser was notified and was soon
on the scene.
The boiler which exploded said

me that when he turned it over to En-
gineer Lynch that there were two and
a half gauges Of water indicated.

night Waterman and he Is most care

The boiler was literally torn into
pieces. The only fragment found lay
about fifteen feet away The force OF
the explosion was so great that rem
nants were hurled all about the place
