Gilbert ~ Haugen seems to nave them
all guessing at the present time i'll
fathoming out his political actions. The
progressives here have given the job
entirely up but the standpats are still
at it. In disposng of his pos toffices
as he has recently, the progressives
state that he is turning them over to
the standpats as fast as he can because
he was dissatisfied with the treatment
accorded him generally by progreSsivess

that he does not care for and uoes not
expect to succeed himself and this
comes as Il punishment. Standpats look
at it from d different angle and they
have no hesitancy in stating that he
finds that progressive strength has left
him and he wants now to align him
self with the standpats in hopes OF
swinging the next congressional con-
vention for a denomination. Up at
Usage there is an effort being made to
line up the standpats for him but it is
the home of Senator Smith and all Who
know Smith realize how futile an at
tempt of this kind would be.
At Charles City. Postmaster and Edi-
tor Henry, OF the Press, rdicues the
idea that he is going to be dropped
a dyed-in-the- wool supporter Of the
congressman, for Ed Dodge, who has
been an active opponent of the con-
gresham. Yet the political dope is
that Henry is to be relieved on account
of local opposition nominally, but in
reality because the congressman hopes
to placate his enemies by offering fed
eral jobs Of these proportions. Mean
while those who are not factionalists,
are reading on the congressional walls
Of this district: Meme. Meme, Tekel
Upharsin!" Thou art weighed in the
balance and are found wanting. Thy
kingdom is divided" Meanwhile the
congressman is saying nothing but sub
hitting to the people the question OF
the quality Of his appointments. Ger
tainly he is eXcelling in putting COM
petent men into the office. Tom Ather-

is doing fine work, while If Henry Is
relieved by Dodge the office will be in

stranger called at the store Of Ken

Of so cent work gloves and proffered
$25 check drawn by G. NJ. Kelsey,
well known farmer living southeast of
the city The clerk knowing the drawer
OF the check was good. sent 1t to the
cashiers desk, but the cashier noticed
discrepancy between the written
amount in the body of the check and
the numerals. The attention OF Mr.
Gardner of the firm was called to the
matter and he started to call up Mr..
Kelsey on the phone to see which
amount was correct when the man sud-
denly left the store taking the gloves
with him. The stranger was seen In
the Citizens Savings bank where Mr.
Kelsey does his banking business and
presumably secured the blank check at
that time and was posted as to MI
Kelsey's banking connections. Yester-
day man named Black who formerly
worked for Mr.. Kelsey, was arrested
and arraigned in the police court, but
he could not be identified as the man
who attempted to pass the check IN
question and so was released.

To Times-Renuhlican

Special to Times Republican
Dows, July 25.-A great deal of ex-
element and sympath was aroused
among the neighbors Of Fam
lily four miles northeast of town. The
family was large one, consisting of
MIR. and Mrs G.. +. Bush and nine chill
dren ranging in ages from 2 20 II years.
They moved on the farm that is known
as the NJ. NJ. CARBON place last spring
MIR. Bush was a hard worker and so
far as now can be ascertained with
no bad habits. Being of a retiring
nature he made no intimate friends.
On the Fourth of July Mrs. Bush
reported that Mr.. Bush gave her
beating and dragged her about the yard
by the hair. 1t was also reported that
on Tuesday of last week more trouble
developed and Mr.. Bush called his wife
a vile name. The oldest boy secured
an iron OF some kind and beat his ia
Their up and the father nearly chewed
three or four fingers OF his sons
hand off.
1t has since been reported that
daughter and Mrs. Bush held MIR. Bush
while the son did the beating. n eighbors
were call6Q IN ana CNelP lIOuOleS
were aired in Justice Green's court las
Tuesday. Mr.. Bush made no defense
and the sympathy of every one seemed
to be with the wife. The justice, how
ecer, released Mr.. Bush.
It seems that three years ago this
family lived in Kentucky where Mrs.
Bush acquired an affinity. After con-
siderable trouble on account Of the
children it was decided to forget the
past and try Life anew in different sur
soundings so accordingly they moved
to Iowa three years ago. On the
Fourth of July the Bush family attend
ed neigh borhood picnic and Mr.. Bush
was very much startled to see present
the man who was the>ause of his trou-
bles in his old home in Kentucky. On
investigation he found this man had
been in this vicinity three months and
had been making secret visits to his
home while he was at work.
Mr.. Bush has given a bill Of sale to
the bank Of Rowan to pay his just debts
and giving the balance to his wife and
has left for parts unknown. The
neighbors have since discovered that
the affinity was hid in a granary while
the father was being beaten up by his
family. They also report that he has
moved in since the father was forced
