Mrs. Turpin Seeks to Gain Estate OF
Former Hotel Landlord.

Dubuque, March 6-The trial Of the
suit of Marylee Turpin against the es-
atae of the late Frank NJ. Turpin. pro-
prietor Of the Julien hotel. Dubuque
and well known as hotel man in New
York. Georgia, Tennessee and Florida
and in the city of Chicago. was re-
sumed in the district court.
The first hearing was had at the
October term of court when it was
continued because of the inability OF
the plaintiff to secure witnesses or
dispositions which since, it is claimed
are at hand
The plaintiff alleged she was married
to the deceased, altho he afterwards
told her the ceremony was q mock al
fair. She holds she will be able 70
prove she was known and introduced as
his wife at various places and that
she at least was his common law wife
and the suit is for recovery OF
Widows share Of the estate. The prop
erty represents several hundred thous-
and dollars.
At the time of Turpin's death two
years ago in New York. the plaintiff
already had fled a suit for divorce in
Dubuque This action, according 10 heI
story and which is corroborated by
DISPOSITIONS. followed a disclosure &c
her bv Turpin that while the two were
in a Chicago hotel, that they we're not
legally married. as result OF which
she took poison and was saved only by
the prompt action of the house physi-
clan Sensational developments are
expected in the present trial.

Waverly, March "a warning has
been sent to the Iowa FARMERS who are
raisers Of sugar heets for the factory
at Waverly, in which the farmers are
told that the American Sugar Refin-
ing Company, commonly known as the
sugar trust, is trying to have the tarlH
on raw tropical sugar cut, in order to
throttle the home beet sugar industry,
with it's many independent factories
scattered all over the country. The
letter. which is being sent out by w.
b. Rosevear. president of the Iowa
Sugar Company, says that the success
of the sugar trust means lower prices
to the farmers for beets. This would
prevent the further development of the
beet sugar industry in Iowa. In his
letter MIR. Rosevear says:
"The American Sugar Refining Com
pany, the Federal Sugar Refining Com
pany, Arbuckle Bros. and other re-
filming interests, all located on the
seaboard who have absolute control OF
the sugar refining industry in this
country, and also some of the large cane
sugar planters in Cuba, are now en-
deavoring to influence public opinion
and are making an effort in congress
to bring about a further reduction of
this tariff in order to prevent further
development OF the beet sugar indus
try. These refining interests import
raw sugar from tropical countries and
refine it.
The refining interests realize that
beet sugar is their only competitor,
and they. therefore wish to throttle
the industry. Circulars have been sent
out by some of the refining interests
containing the misleading statements.
that the duty was cents pound
and equivalent to so per cent ad
valorem. About 80 per cent Of our for
eign sugar comes from Cuba and pays
1.S4s cent per pound, which is the eff
fective duty as far as the price of
sugar to the consumer is concerned.
Taking the average price in the United
States paid by the consumer for sugar
at 5k cents per pound, it Is only a
simple matter Of arithmetic to show
that this duty Is equivalent to less
than 33 per cent ad valorem."

IOWA UNIVERSITY PAPER FINDS
FEW MARRIAGES FOLLOW
HEART AFFAIRS.
COLLEGE FLiRTATioNS NOT
CONDUCIVE TO FIDELITY
Many Engagements During School
Days But Only Few Of Thorn Full
fiIled-Law Students Lead Among
Those Who Plight Their Troth and
Then Forget lt-Other Iowa News.

Iowa City, March 6. Co-education
has failed to make Iowa University a
matrimonial bureau, but it provides a
masters degree in heart trifling, ac
cording to an editorial III The Daily
Iowan. the student paper of the state
university. The paper quotes figures
to prove its contention, and talks
knowingly of college cases and their
subsequent developments.
The editors conclusion is that out Of
eleven student engagements. only one
marriage results. He reaches this av-
erage after compiling figures for the
last five years.
The Iowan gives figures showing the
number of engagements and marriages
since 1906. In that year, there were
thirteen engagements and only one
marriage has resulted SO far. In the
following year the number of engage
ments dropped to eight. and from this
only one marriage developed. The year
1905 furnished fifteen engagements or
ear-engagenents, but the marriage
list was still numbered by one. In 1903
twenty couples became more or less
attentive. and from this number two
couples eventually married. The same
number of cases developed in 1910
and again two couples were married.
Two couples were married in 1911. out
Of a total Of twenty three cases.
Continuing the account says: The
table shows that prospects are encour-
aging. since two marriages have re-
suited each year since 1908. while prior
20 that time only one resulted each
year
comparing conditions in various
colleges of the school it appears that
the laws became engaged more fire.
Quently than other professional stu
dents, but that their engagements are
less likely to develop into marriage
On the other hand the dental and
medical students. tho becoming en-
gagged less frequently. are more likely
to stick to their promises. A liberal
arts student is not to be depended
upon at all

to Make Them With Little Expense.
Special to Times-Republican-
Ames, March 6.-Because Of the ur-
gent need Of seed corn testing in every
section of Iowa, Director Charles F.
Curtiss of the Iowa Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station has just ordered the
publication Of a four page circular on
Home Made Seed Corn Testers" This
bulletin will be mailed to any address
in Iowa without charge. II will also
be furnished without cost to loca!
commercial clubs. business or profess
sional men or others who may want
to distribute il in their communities
Fifty thousand copies have been or
dered and another $4,000 will be printed
if there is demand for them.
No Iowa farmer need TO neglect test
ing his seed because he can not buy
a ready made tester. At the cost Of
so cents to 81, and a half hours time
he can make tester at home that
will be as efficient as the best manu-
featured tester ne can buy. In tests
covering two years and including more
than 10000 individual ear test readings,
the Iowa Experiment station demon
strated fully that home made testers,
made at little expense, will pick out
ears for seed from which there will
be as large yields as from ears selected
BY the high priced testers. These
home made testers are Of two kinds
the rag doll tester" comprising
merely a few strips of sheeting. and the
"sawdust tester comprising shallow
box and a couple of bushels Of saw
dust. Either one is easily made and
simply operated.
All information that comes to the
station emphasizes the need Of testing
the seed. The situation is worse than
it has been for years. Unless farm
ers generally test their corn carefully
this year." says Prof. II. D. Hughes.
