father Of the workingmen's cornpensa-

the best posted Iowan on this particu-

DOCKET FOR COURT
TERN VERY LARGE.
IN SPITE OF LONG WINTER AND

Terms For. 1914.'16.

An immense amount of work and a
great many cases confront the district
court and Judge B., F. Cummings for
the September term, which opens next
Monday. Altho Judges Nichols and
Cummings probably disposed of more
cases during the terms of last fail,
winter, and spring. than were ever tried
at any other terms Of the same court
year, yet the docket for the coming
term is even larger than it for the
September term of last year.
This condition has been caused by
the exceptionally large number of new
cases that have been filed during the
summer.
The docket that is now being pre-
pared by the printers contains 800
cases, which does not include the many
cases of the probate docket, compared
with 800 cases in the civil docket of the
September term of last year. In addi-
ton to the civil cases are twenty -four
criminal cases and two Juvenile cases.
both of the latter applications for
widows pensions. With 305 cases to
start with the docket will be still
larger before court is fairly begun. The
grand jury will undoubtedly add some
more criminal cases to the docket and
other cases will probably be added
during the term. $500.
In addition to the September term
Judge Cummings will also preside at
the January term, Judge Willett TAX
ign the other two terms. Altho Judge
Willett was appointed to succeed
Judge Nichols, Judge Cummings will
hold the terms Of court that were as
signed to Judge Nichols in the assign
ment for the years 1914 and 1915.
These terms would naturally have fall
en- to Judge Willett as Judge Nichols
successor. but the two judges 'eX-
changed terms and instead of opening
the court here Judge Willett will hold
the first term Of the year at vinton.

Albert Xix. aged %, son of Mr.. and
MM. Fred Xix, living near Hubbard

O'Clock this morning of acute per-
itonitis, following appendicitis. Kix's
condition was serious when he was
hurried to the hospital from Hubbard

An operation vas performed at once
and it was found that the appendix had
ruptured, forming an abcess, and per-
itonitis had developed.
The young man was born near Hub
bard Oct. 2, 1891, and the family has
lived since then in the same neigh
borhood. In addition to the parents a

hardly knew how she got through
with the meal. But it ended at last,
and once again she found herself
outside. And she gave way to bitter
tears. How differently the homely

He would never know that she had
learned to care for him during those
two weeks. She knew that he ad-

man admire a woman from a big

If only she. could be supplemented
again!
She heard him coming toward her
along the piazza, and she dabbed
franticaly at her eyes with her little
lace-edged handkerchief.
He stood beside her, looking down,
and Olive looked up at him and tried
to smile. There was an expression of
alarm upon his face.

Suddenly she found herself sobbing
in his arms. How strong and protect

against his shoulder and let it rest
there. Oh, if only she might; if only
she dared!
How long she lay there she never
knew. It might have been five min

hearing quiet step; behind her, and,
freeing herself, looked round to see
Bert Dempsey standing there. There
