BAD ON HUSBANDS.
They Can be Punished Every Time
They Desert.

Refusal or neglect to support
ones wife and children is continu-
ing offense against the law, and ev-
en- though one has served a term in
Jail for such offense he is not re-
lieyed from further punishment, ac-
cording to sweeping decision of the
supreme court today. The court
holds that the act of desertion does
not constitute the crime and is not
of Itself punishable. 1t is the con-
tinued refusal or neglect to support
the wife which constitutes the Of
tense.
c. A. Morgan was convicted of wife
desertion and served a term in the
penitentiary. He returned to Des
Moines after his release, but refused
TO support his wife and children. He
was again indicted. At the trial he
pleaded his former conviction and
imprisonment and the district judge
directed a verdict of not guilty. The
state appealed.
The supreme court, Justice Sher-
win writing the opinion, says: His
neglect and refusal TO provide for his
wife and children, after he had serv-
ed his former sentence, constitutes a
new, separate and distinct violation
of the statute for which he may again
be punished" The opinion is IMAM
nous.

Cow Gives Birth to Four Calves.

Iowa City, Ia, July S.-Born, to
a Hereford COW on the Andrew Rus
sell farm, four calves, all alive and
kicking.
The remarkable contribution to
the live stock of a prominent John
son county farmer is believed TO be
without parallel in the state. There
are two black and red calves. One
OF each color has a white face. They
include three steers and heifer. All
four look exactly like except as to
color, and all are Of the same size.
The mother COW recognized the
whole quartette as her own, but the
task Of feeding them was too much
for her and two of them will be put
with other cows. The way in which
Mrs. Hereford keeps the children
rounded up is highly entertaining to
the neighborhood.
The mother is black COW, five
years old and had had two calves be-
fore she became mother to the quad
ruplets, but they came singly. There
have been instances where 8 calves
have been born to COW, but they
have generally been unhealthy. These
four are as active and healthy look
ing as any that can be found.

THE DRUMNlER's DREAM.

One night Drummer dreamed a
dream,
And dreaming, dreamed he died,
And straightway to the Pearly Gates
His sin stained spirit hied,
And there before the Saint he stood
vs. it'll downcast head and low,
Ny records pretty rank he said,
/ guess I'm bound below.
I've smoked lot and drank lot,
Confess it all l must;
And flirted too and then besides,
Great Heavens, how I've cussed,
The good St. Peter looked at him,
With kindly smiling eyes,
But shook his head, don't ask says he
A mansion in the skies,
But let me ask some questions, Sir
Are you travelling man?
The sinner bowed and in this strain
The aged Saint began:
You've gotten up at four a. m.
And chased the train a mile,
Amid the train crews jibes and geers,
Astounding all the while,
And then you found as usual,
You've chased the wrong train once
again,
And yours goes out at six.
You've taken some gay merchant out
And spent a ten or more,
And then he calmly says he bought
His goods the day before.
You've spent your life at bad hotels,
And eaten still worse meals,
With oleo and waiter girls,
All run down at the heels.
You've had your letters sent astray;
Your trunks have wandered too,
With porters, clerks and baggage
men
You're in constant stew;
And once month you see your wife,
Now tell me, is it so?
1t is replied the Drummer,
AS he took his hat to go.
All, well, said good ST. Peter,
AS he opened the portal wide,
m very glad to meet you sir,
Just kindly step inside.
Wen try to make you happy here,
Well do the best we can,
You've surely served your time in
He'll,
For you've been travelling man,

Case is Uniaue.

Creston July 8. A unique case is
reported from Lucas county with
County Treasurer Ream bringing
suit against himself to recover sum
OF money. Several years ago when
the First National Bank of Charlton

sum $4,000 has been recovered, leav-
Ing $4,000 yet unpaid. The suit to
recover this will have to be brought

the county for the sum. This nee
cessitates Mr.. Ream bringing suit

TWO PRISONERS ESCAPE.

n. j. Noble from Union Fired
on by Guards.

Anamosa, Ia. July Wednesday

started to run from the sand pit
which is operated in connection with
the state quarry. These two pris-

county Of Story for five years and n.
j. Noble, sent up from Union county

ing sand into the quarry to be loaded
on cars and transported to the pris-

the hip, but Waltz managed to get
into the timber which surrounds the
quarry. The quarry train was made
UP and rushed TO the prison bringing
in the wounded prisoner, who was
placed in the institution hospital and
given surgical care. The guards were
sent out to search for the escaped
convict by Warden McClaughry, but

ture as to his whereabouts.

reward of $50 for his arrest and de-
tention until officers from the refor-
matory can secure him.
