Ladies' Social Gathering Of Iowa Falls
Hold Fifty Sixth Annual Meeting.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, April 10.-The Ladies'
Social Gathering, probably the oldest
ladies' organization in central Iowa,
has Just held its fifty-sixth annual
election and planned an active cam
paign for this year. This society was
organized in 1859 when Iowa Falls was
Ia hamlet and with the object Of pro-
viding final resting place for those
who passed away while in this little
settlement on the Iowa prafries. The
first officers were: Mrs. II. p. Jones,
president; Mrs. S. NJ. Estes. vice presi-
dent: Mrs. J. S. Smith, secretary, and
Mrs E. C.. Saver. treasurer.
The new society purchased four and
a half acres where Union cemetery is
now located, paying $40 for the tract.
The ground was covered with timber
and underbrush and "bee" was ar
ranged in the spring Of 1850. when the
ground was cleared. In later years, adj
ditions to the original grounds were
plated. until now the cemetery is one
OF the finest in this part of the state.
But few Of the earlier pioneers in
this society's work still survive, among
these being Mrs. A. A. Wells. Mrs. T.
I. McChesney and Mrs. A. j. Foster. Of
this city, and Mrs. 8. w. Pyle. OF
Pasadena. Before his death, Mr.. L. E.
Jones left generous sum to be used
by the society to erect memorial to
his mother. who was one Of the active
members Of the society for many years
| When this memorial is erected. the
society will probably place In the
grounds memorial to commemorate
good works Of those who labored fol
the cause for many years and have
passed on.
The new directors Of the society are:
Mrs. H. A. Ellsworth Mrs. A. ]. Foster
Mrs. Robert Wright, Mrs. Grace A
Rinehart, Mrs. William Burgess Mrs
F. E. Foster, Mrs. Jennie j. Thorp, Mrs
Margaret Tower, Miss Mary H. Bliss
and Miss Elizabeth Tower. The direc-
tors elected the following officers:
President, Mrs. II. A. Ellsworth: vice
president Miss Mary H. Bliss: secre-
tary and treasurer, Mrs. Jennie J
Thorp; sexton, Chris Larson; superin-
tendent, F.. E. Foster.

Mason City, April l0.-Ross john
son is either a prince at shamming or
is mentally unbalanced. That is the
opinion Of those who were present at
the hearing yesterday afternoon.
Thursday, to bunch Of detectives. he
confessed to have wrecked three Rock
Island passenger trains within the
yard limits Of this city. Yesterday
before the insane commissioners, when
asked why he did it. he denied having
done it. He didn't know how old he
was. how long ha had been married.
how old his child was, where his wife
was or where he stayed last night.
From what can be learned it appears
that the road will not bring charges
against johnson, even II he Is consid-
cred sane and If action is to be taken
1t will be thru the county attorneys
office. They say that he has been too
good man for them and they do not
care to prefer charges. The prob
abilities are that he will be declared
insane. The board II insane commits
sioners have continued the case until
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock in
order to give Johnson needed sleep.

Special to Times-Republican.
Rockwell City, April 1o.-There was
fled yesterday with s. E. Stanae!d.
clerk of the district court Of Calhoun
county, the petition of T. D. Long, one
of the former editors of the Manson
Journal. against John F. Dalton. editor
Of the Manson Democrat, alleging that
on various occasions the Democrat
contained libelous articles concerning
the plaintiff, for which judgment for
the sum of SIC, 900 Is asked to be en-
tered against the Democrat editor.
It is a we'll known fact turnout the
county and state that for many years
there has been bad blood between the
editors of the Manson Journal and the
Democrat. For a period covering sew
eral years each paper was filled ire
uuently with articles rejecting on the
business, character. ETC., Of the otner'
in spirit not intended to promote
peace and harmony.
Feud Of Long Standing.
Conditions grew from bad to worse
until about two years ago, when the
Democrat published an article con-
corning the plaintiff in this action
which was alleged to be libelous. and
the result was an action in the district
court for damages.
On account OF the serious illness OF
G. I. Long, one Of the Journal editors
the case was continued from time to
time until after his death, when set
Element was effected, by the terms OF
which the Democrat editor was to pay
small sum of money and the costs
incurred Dalton paid the money into
court, and a sigh Of relief went up from
the public, as it was supposed this
ended the bitter fight that had been
waged for years. But. alas. A Few
days later T. d. Long, the plaintiff IN
that action, wrote short article IN
the journal setting forth the facts and
expressed the hope that thereafter
there would be peace and harmony and
the best of feeling between them.
Fight Breaks Out Again.
To this the Democrat editor took ex-
ceptions, and in column article In the
Democrat lambasted Mr.. Long IN
manner that was characteristic Of Mr..
Dalton when offended. Long tmmedf-
ately served official notice upon the
Democrat editor that unless he made
proper retraction by certain date he
would commence action for libel, etc.
The retraction was not made, hence
the petition that has just been filed
with the clerk Of the district court
asking for actual and exemplary dam
ages in the sum Of $4,000.
This promises to. be one Of the hard
est legal battles that has been fought
in this county for many years. and is
attracting considerable attention be-
cause of the prominence of the parties,
