prinking on his part, as he told her
that his business was never so press
ing; that it necessitated work early
and late. He hardly had time for
any meal but breakfast at home. She
awoke to the fact that all her frantic
grasping of the flying skirts of youth
was of no avail. To her husband she
was just his old wife who had been
standing in the same place for the
last twenty years, as had his easy
chair or his smoking set and humi-
dor. He had not even noticed the
change in her hair from the slightly
graying tinge of black to the brown
of their early honeymoon days.

further apart when one day she ac-
cepted an invitation to luncheon at
one of the newer fashionable hotels

"In a rather secluded corner, close

It was beautifully decorated with

bunch of violets, with gardgnia in

Those who have travelled extensive

RELIGIOUS FACTIONS
FIGHT OVER PROPERTY

Shenandoah, Aug. 2S.-After sepa.
ration of the two religious factions
more than twenty years ago, the Free
Methodist church seeks to obtain pos.
session of the property of the Worlds
Faith Missionary association at Shen.
andoah. The property consists of a
missionary home, publishing plant
and other real estate on Mathews
street and East Thomas avenue, val
ued at $4,000. The case will come
up at the September term Of district
court at Clarinda.
When the Missionary association
applied for a $4,000 loan from build
ing and loan association they asked
the court to quiet the title of the prop
erty. 1t was at this time the Free
Methodists disputed the title and
claimed the property.
The Free Methodists base their
claim on section Of the articles of
Incorporation which states that in
case the Fire Brand Publishing as
ISOLATION disbanded the property was
to 80 to the Free Methodists.
An agreement was signed January
80, 1894, the present holders of the
property claim, in which the Free
Methodists relinquished all right to
any property that has accrued to the
the articles of incorporation.

MORE TROUBLE UP
IN IOWA FALLS CASE
JUST WHEN ACTION OVER LOT
SEEMS SETTLED ANOTHER
MATTER BoBs UP.

Iowa Falls, Aug. 2S.-The Stone
brook Wisner litigation over a lot in
this city died lingering death and
when it was thought the supreme
court had put quietus on the whole
matter by sustaining Editor Stone
brook of the Sentinel in his conten-
lions, a new suit bobs up In the dis
trict court in which the Wisners fig.
ure as plaintiff. When the real estate
deal went through Stonebrook gave
note for part payment of the lot but
when the Wisner estate failed to de-
liver all Of the lot bargained for,
Stonebrook' attorneys advised him
not to pay the note until the litiga-
ton was terminated. After many
years an apparently final settlement
was obtained In the supreme court and
it was supposed the note would be re-
turned to Stonebrook in adjustment
of the shortage of the lot, but 1t now
appears action is brought against the
Sentinel editor on this obligation and
settlement on the verdict Of the su-
preme court is apparently ignored. 1t
now looks as though Stonebrook would
have to 20 into court and defend this
action and at the same time start pro-
ceedings to enforce q settlement on
the basis Of the supreme courts deci-
zion.

MATT O'O0NNElL
WILL NOT DIE Sept. 8
MAN WAITING EXECUTION AT
STATE PRISON WILL ESCAPE
FOR TIME BEING.

FIT. Madison, Aug. 2S.-That Matt
ODonnell, who is waiting death at the
state prison here, under sentence to
be hanged for the murder of his wife,
Inez O.Donnell, at Keokuk "a year ago,
will not be executed on September 3,
now seems practically certain.
1t is now believed that the stay of
the execution will be due either by
an order from the supreme court de-
string a further consideration of the
matter, or that in the event of the
supreme court making a decision sup
porting the district court, the governor
will be appealed to.
The matter is now in the hands OF
the supreme court and the fact that
the court has not made any decision
in the case up to the present time
with the date of the execution, Septem-
Der 8, but nine days distant, makes 1t
almost impossible COR the execution
to- take place on the day arranged for
it is known that an appeal to the gov
ernor will be taken.
The case is attracting much atten-
ton throughout this part Of the state
and in the city.

CHEROKEE BUILDS
FIREPROOF STORES

Cherokee, Aug. 2s.-William Grif-
I'm, butcher of this city. Is starting
work on a new brick block to be
erected on West Main street. The
Two old buildings now standing there
are being torn down to make room
for the new structure, which will have
a frontage of fifty-five feet and be
sixty feet deep. 1t will be two stories
in height, constructed of yellow brick
with Bedford stone trimmings. There
will be two store rooms and a barber
shop on the first floor and two modern
flats on the second floor. The south
and east front will be solid plate
glass and the other features will make
the new block very attractive in ap.
pearance.
There will be some new departures
In freproof construction. Steel grid
ers from wall to wall will support the
second story so that in case Of fire
there will be no danger of the building
caving in.
Contracts for the new structure
have not yet been let, but it is hoped
to have it completed by December l..
