GIRL FOOLED, her PARENTS
WENT TO oTTUMWA TO VISIT.
But WAS SOON MARRIED,
Father Tries to Head or Match, But
Arrived on Scene a Little
sn sr.t Too Late. i-

Ottumwa, Aug. 26.-Miss Ethel E.
White slipped one over on her father
last Thursday and today the parental
ire is seeking vent for relief. The
girl Is only fourteen years old. For
the past year she has been going with.
Charles r. Burtlow, now of age. When
Burtlow first popped the question, Mr..
White raised strenuous objection. He
watched his daughter carefully. but
when the innocent request came that
she be permitted to visit in Ottumwa
for two weeks, the father had no sus-
picion whatever. He therefore glad
ly gave his consent.
The Whites live In Harvey, Marion
county, Iowa. Thursday the then Miss
White, aged fourteen, came to Ottum-
wa. She was met by her lover and IT
was just short walk from the depot
to the court house. There, Joseph W.
Wilmoth made the necessary afida-
Wit. The license was issued, but
when they were married is not known
las the marrying person has not as yet
made the return to the clerk.
The only trouble with the issuance
OF the license is that Mr.. Wilmoth
swore the age of the girl was eigh-
teen. She is but fourteen. Friday Mr..
White received a letter stating that
his daughter was now Mrs. Burtlow.
Saturday morning he and his wife, the
girls step-mother, hurried to Ottum-
wa and cornered Clerk Phillips. The
father was unable to believe that his
daughter would slip one over on him
like that. But when Clerk Phillips
pointed out the evidence his ire
mounted and he threatened dire pen
lalty to Mr.. Wilmoth for swearing
wrongly to his daughters age
Il have been fighting this thing for
a year now and then they beat me to
It," declared the wrathy father Il am
going to make 1t warm for this fellow
who made this affidavit. | guess they
are married. but this fellow don't get
off. Well, she followed the tracks of
her father, guess, for married a girl
fifteen years OF age"
Mr.. end Mrs. White left the court
house with the intention of looking
up Mr.. Wilmoth. Where their daugh.
ter and her husband are they do not
know. They are aware of the fact,
however, that she came TO visit
friends in Ottumwa."

BIG REVIVAL PLANNED
Will be Held in 0skaloOsa Begin
ming on September 70. ..

Announcement was publicly made
by Rev. M. A. Kelsey at the Union
service at the chautauqua auditorium
on Sunday evening that Union revival
services would begin on Monday, Sep
TENDER 20, 1912. The evangelists en-
gagged for these meetings are the pop
ular workers, Hart and McGann,"
who make their headquarters at Fair
bury, Illinois, although much of their
time is spent in other parts of the
country in revival work.
These meetings are the result of a
long considered plan on the part of
the Ministerial Association and they
are to be held under the auspices of
the various protestant churches of
Oskaloosa and a large chorus choir
is to be organized and will lead in the
features of the services.
The services will be held at the
new auditorium and the platform will
be enlarged so as to accommodate the
choir and the speakers, with their
needed workers. AS I'm every large
city there is in Oskaloosa a large
floating class of people who are natur-
ally in sympathy with church life,
but are not actively identified with
any organization. 1t is the desire of
the churches to reach these people
as we'll as others, and it was particu-
larly to gain information regarding
these facts that the recent religious
census was taken. The whole work
has been carefully planned and or
ganized and these special services are
already assured of success.

Attendance at chautauqua.

Average daily attendance at the
Oskaloosa chautauQua was between
twenty-five and twentythree hundred
which Is the best record of any of
the meetings. More season tickets
were sold, but fewer general admis-
sion tickets than formerly. This is
accounted for from the fact that there
were no spell binding" days. no SEN
sational features that tend to attract
patronage to one or two special occa-
sions, to the disadvantage of other
days. All features were good, with
the whole program above the average.

and settings Of the "Story of Hia-
watha." The action of the play was
explained by Captain CRANE, who
served as stage manager The light.
ing effects were pleasing and served
to make the stage a scene of beauty.
In the absence of scenery, trees and
branches from the woodlands changed
the platform into a bower of nature,
in which the tepees' Of the tribe We're
erected. A camp fire nand other feat
ures only made the picture all the
more realistic and beautiful.
The cast of the play comprised
"Hiawatha," first as a child and again
as man, and this part was taken by
Tom Shawanoe. Nakomis, the grand
mother; "ArrowMaker," the father of
the bride; Minnehaha was represent
ed by Mendosia Wigwam, a young
and pretty girl of II years; Pau-Puk-
KeeWis, gambler, by Eagle Bird;
Chibiahos, the sweet singer; Iagoo,
the story teller; and Father Mar
quette and his guides. During the
play various dances are given such as
the Dance of Welcome to the bride
and groom; the bridal dance; the
snake dance, and the scalp dance.
The little love song by little Red Bird
was also a pleasing feature The
story of the play is exceedingly inter
esting and is based on Longfellow's
poetic version of the Hiawatha legend
and as Chautauqua attraction is one
of the best that has been produced in
recent years. All were more than
