MARRIED EIGHT YEARS.
The couple were married eight years
ago at Rock Island. by justice of the

proposed 10 her, she at once accepted
and they were married. Mr.. Hahn's
first wife died 10 years ago. Hahn is
now 60.
Louis Hahn of 307 East Seventh

ed that he believed his father was tenn
porarily demented at the time of the
deed THAT he had been brooding
over his troubles for some time was
evident by his recent actions, and he
acted very queerly Wednesday night,
according to the two sons who were at
the house" said the younger Mr.. Hahn.
The actions of the young wife of late
has caused him much worry She did
not appear to care for him in the least,
and tried to keep away from him as
much as possible"
LIVED AT MANY PLACES.
Mr. and Mrs. Hahn resided for a
time in Muscatine and have spent much
time here. After their marriage they
remained for several years at Illinois
City, aud about four years ago moved
to the town of Fairport. where they re-

removed to Tacoma, Wash, where they
spent two years, and then returned TO

Bill Changed His Opinion After Talk
With His Wife.
Old Bill ShiftIess wandered in the
other day to talk little politics, says
the Osborne (Kanl Farmer. Bill is
somewhat interested in the woman suf-
frage movement. He is for it good and
strong. Bill says: My wife has as
much right TO vote as have. She does
half the work and owns half of every
thing and should have as much say as
1 have. OF course the old woman
would also vote as ! told her to, but
that makes no difference. 1t would
give me double power. and the Lord
knows US poor people have little
things are run. Then. besides, want
the old lady to have all the pleasure
she can get out Of this world"
That night old Bill was talking the
question over with his wife. She said
she would like to get chance 10 vote
the distilIeries off the face of the earth.
Bill fared up in a minute.
That's just the way with the WON
en- yelled Bill. Give them half a
chance and they would ruin every
thing. Look at the poor people around
here who can't afford a doctor or to
buy medicine. If they can keep a lit
tie liquor in the house it saves many
a sick spell. Women have all they can
do to look after things around the
house without chasing off and voting
Then old Bill chased himself TO bed
and left Mrs. Shiftless TO bring in
bucket of coal and get kindIing for the
