Years.

Joseph Edmund, West Union bus
mess man, is held in Chicago on the
complaint of woman from Boston,
Mass, who charges him with big
amy, claims that she is his lawful
wife, says that his right name is JOS
eph Pollock.
Mr.. Edmund went to Chicago two
months ago or more, on account of
the illness of his cousin, H. Kugel,
who has since died. His wife here
was summoned by him to Chicago on
Saturday, and it was not till Satur-
day evening that the Boston woman
had Mr.. Edmund taken into custody,
so it appears that he must have had
an inkling of what was coming.
According to the Boston woman
she and Mr.. Edmund or Pollack, as
she calls him, and their three child
rem were living together in apparent
happiness eighteen years ago, and as
she puts it then one night he didn't
come home" She made an unsuc-
cessful search for him and at length
gave him up for dead, but a short
time ago got word that he was still
alive, was married, and had returned
to Chicago She came from Boston
on last Thursday, and on Saturday
had Mr. Edmund taken on the charge
of bigamy.
AS stated in the Chicago papers
Mr.. Edmund asserted that he got a
divorce in Judge Bretanos court be-
fore coming from Chicago to West
on-Argo-G Gazette.

Prompt Action Necessary.

Prompt action on the part of the
several children of Jake Rupp has
undoubtedly saved the results of
years of frugality and toll on the part
of the family, as well as no lack of
trouble and complications for him.
He is past eighty years of age and
lacking in the keen judgment of his
earlier years. He has property to the
value of $4,000 or more which had
proven attractive to a dame of some
years his Junior at La Crosse. She
arrived here last week and would
have consummated a marriage with
the old gentleman but for the justi-
fable interference of the children.
Legal action was taken which has re-
suited in the woman departing and
Jacob is now responsible to a guar
dian in the person of Ed. Allanson
of the First National Bank. The chill
dren greatly deplore the circumstan-
ces, but they or any others are to be
commended upon taking such action
in like case.-Waukon Democrat

BUTTER WITHOUT CHURNING.
New Process, Found by Iowa Doctor
Travelling in East.

Eldora, Ia, Dec. 9.-Dr. w. HI.
Young of this city, who attended a
meeting of the congress of hygiene
and demography at Washington, ID.
c., several weeks ago, returned by
way of Philadelphia. While in that
city, in conversation with friend
about the new ideas of farming and
the modern ways. of conducting farm
life, this friend told the doctor of a
new process for the making of but
ter.
Since the doctors return home he
has put the plan to a practical test
and has conclusively demonstrated
that the idea is bound to revolution
ize the practice of making butter un-
der the old system. At the same
time it will do away with much of
the drudgery attending upon the old
way of making butter.
All that is needed under the newly
devised plan is to take an ordinary
dishpan, place such a quantity of
cream therein to be used in the pro-
cess, inclosed in a heavy towel, this
towel having wrapped on the inside
of it one thickness of fine filter paper.
Place the pan and it's contents in the
cupboard for the night, and by the
next morning the cream has become
butter, the residue of water and milk
left from the cream having separated
itself from the heavier substance
without particle of churning or
work of any sort.
DR.. Young has in his Office samples
of butter made by this new process
which it is impossible to tell from
that which has gone through the old
fashioned method of churning. With
this new process in vogue on the
farms of Iowa, thousands of house
wives will be relieved of much of the
work that is necessary under the old
system, for with the new plan there
will be no churning or washing of
churning dishes.
