cation. Another important feature OF
the day to the honored pastor Is that
it was also the fifteenth anniversary
of his servises as pastor Of the Con-
gregational church in this city.
Many interesting incidents might be
cleaned from the long and honored ca
reer Of this man whom all. irrespective
of religious creeds, hold in high es-
TEEN. It has been frequently remarked
that it was believed. that he had not
an enemy living, so we'll has he gained
that love and confidence OF the hign
and the lowly, young and old. All Of
whom deem it a pleasure to greet the
kindly old gentleman and receive the
inspiration that he instills with the
warm hand shake that makes one feel
from the first acquaintance that he Is
your friend. In his every day life he
mingles with and enjoys the coming IN
contact with people in all walks OF
life. He never finds himself as feel
ing exalted or superior in mind or
action to the hundreds that greet MIN

them all; they are his friends. In the
year 1860 he was first ordained to the
ministry or f1fty-two years ago.

labored in Iowa. filling the pulpits OF
many of the largest and most import
ant missions in the state. AS conse-
uuence he is widely known turnout this
section Of the country. About three
years ago he was granted rest from
the active duties as pastor of the To-
cal church and, with his good VIE,
is enjoying the fruits Of long and
useful life There is perhaps no other
clergyman in the country who is as often
called upon to pronounce the solemn
vows of wedlock or one that Is called
az frequently as he. to assist In giving
spiritual comfort to the dying. and
consequently to the sadly afflicted. a
fact which Is evidence Of his great
popularity with all classes, and now.

Creston, Aug. 5.-Tremblng with
fear ard blushing with shame, Mrs. AL
Ballinger, a frail little woman, appeared
Friday morning at the office Of Chief
of Police William Exline and related a
story so appalling and revolving as to
be almost beyond belief. Her husband
was arrested Thursday evening, and
was in jail charged with drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, thus giving
her a hope that she might escape from
her life Of shame, by telling the au-
thorities her story and having him
committed to the penitentiary.
She asserts that for the past four
years he has compelled her to lead a
life Of prostitution, Ballinger bringing
both strange men and acquaintance to
their home and forcing her to submit
to their attentions, using force when
ever she objected. According to her
statement, his last dastardiy act Of
violence was the carving with a razor
Of his initials "a. B." upon her breast
after beating and choking her until she
was barely on the verge of conscious
ness, and had no strength left to offer
ANY more IeSlS lduCe. IL Is on lIllS dCl
that she bases her charge Of assault
with intent to commit murder.
One OF the worst occasions Of his
treatment of her, she says. was a trip

he compelled her to accompany him
self and three or four other men. They
went to a farm house, and INDUCED for
a time in drinking and crap shoot

not guilty to both OF the charges
against him. He will be given hear
ing at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning,
Aug. 6. His bond was placed at $500
on each charge, and as he was unable
to furnish the amount he was returned
to the county Jail.
Ballinger says that his wife has been
keeping company with other men
against his wishes, and that he has
been unable to stop 1t. He asserts that
his wife insisted on accompanying him
on his trip to the country in order to
see that he did not lose all his money
in the crap" game, as he had quite a
roll with him. He claims that she In
f1icted the razor cuts upon her breast
herself.
Mrs. Balinger has given the police
the names OF several Of the parties
