Jack London Came
20 Io,oa With Kelly.
Then With Io,va Bride

The. death of Jack London at his
California home Wednesday recalls
To Iowa people that he sojourned here
during the memorable Invasion of
kelly's army in 1894. He was also in
Iowa on another interesting occasion,
aside from his lecture tours. 1t was
when he married Miss Charmion Kit
tredge a Newton girl whom he met
in the west.
London chronicled many experiences
Of his trip with Kelly's army in his
book, 1.-THE Road" He shows himself
a leading spirit in much OF the devil
ment' General Kelly had to combat in
the ranks.
The celebrated army came east to
Omaha on the Union Pacific but was
stranded there when the railroads re-
fused to carry the two thousand
tranps farther. After stirring scenes
at Council Bluffs they began one
hundred forty mile walk to Des Moines.
IN his book London speaks of 'the fat
Iowa country and the hospitable Iowa
farmer folk"
He mentions the Des Moines eN-
perience of the army at some length.
Writes About Des Moines.
Last year. while on a lecturinS trip
I rode into Des Moines in Pullman.
y = On the outskirts Of the city
saw the old stove works where, dozen
years before, the army lay down and
swore mighty oath that its feet We're
sore and that it would walk no more.
We took possession Of the stove works
and told Des Moines that we had come
TO stay-that we'd walked in, but we'd
he blessed II we'd walk out. Des
NJ oines was hospitable, but this was
too much of a good thing. Do a little
mental arithmetic, gentle reader. TWO
thousand hoboes, eating three square
meals make six thousand meals per
day, 1900 meals per week, or $4,000
meals per shortest month in the cal
endar. That's going some. We had
no money. 1t was up to Des Moines.
"Des fMofnes was desperate. We lay
IN camp, made political speeches, held
sacred concerts, pulled teeth. played
baseball and seven-up and ate our SIX
thousand meals per day and Des
Moines paid for it.
"Des Moines pleaded with the rail-
roads but they were obdurate; they
had said we shouldn't ride and that
settled it. To permit us to ride would
lie to establish a precedent and there
weren't going to be any precedents
And still we went on eating. That was
the terrifying factor in the situation
We were bound for Washington and
Des Moines would have to float NUM-
c:pal bonds to pay all our railroad
fares. even at special rates and il we
remained much longer shed have TO
float bonds anyway to feed us"
London recalls that "a local genius
solved the problem. That man was
General Weaver who conceived the
idea of building fatboats to float the
army off down the Des Moines river
anywhere away from Des Moines
Business men contributed lumber

Boone, Nov. 23.-Police are searching

Porkers Are Chioroformsd to Prexsn'
Squsals, From Arousins Owners.
West Union, Nov. 25.-Stealing hogs
at night has never been a very popular
form Of crime in Iowa, for the reason
that the thief has heretofore been un-
able to figure out any way OF mufflinG
the squeals Of the porker.
But enterprising stock raiders have
solved this problem at last by chloro-
forming the hogs, and loading the limp
bodies into wagons before the animals
come out Of their artificial sleep.
Thieves this week chloroformed
eight fine fat hogs belonging to Ed
Boelschner, residing two miles east OF
Hawkeye, and carried the animals
from the hog house to wagon In the
road, about 100 feet distant.
This is the third time Boelschner has
lost hoge by mysterious thefts this
winter, and he has been wondering
how the job was done. This time,
however, the thieves left two large
chloroform bottles behind them, and
the odor Of the drug was very evident
about the hog house.
County Attorney Cooney, Of West
Union has been investigating the
crime, but has 50 far been unable to
find any clue to aid him in capturing
the miscreants.

Parmsntsr Children Recover Money
Intended For Them BY Relative.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. 25.-iladys Par
menter, age 5 and Bernard Parmenter,
age ~, living with their uncle and aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Zimmerman, SIS u
avenue west, Friday were awarded by
jury in Muscatine the sum of $1,000.
The trial which is Of rather a sensa-
tional nature has been occupying the
attention of the court for the last four
days.
Their mother died in Cedar Rapids,
Feb. a. 1900. An uncle of the dead
woman came from Nichols, iowa, to at
tend the funeral. He was a bachelor
and always fond Of the niece, the
mother Of the two children. After the
funeral he went to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Linneman. Mrs. zimmerman
was sister of the dead woman
In the home he promised that il she
would keep and rear the children he
would pay the entire bill. In a chair
in the parlor when the family discussed
the keeping Of the children, sat their
grandfather, q man now 81 years Of
age, A. M. Parmenter. He heard the
rich great uncle of the little tots Bar
uey Kirchner, tell his daughter that he
would foot all the bills for the educa-
ton Of the children.
It was largely on the testimony Of
the old man who presented q pictur1
esQue figure in the court scene that
the children were given the money
from the estate of their great uncle.
After the funeral Barney Kirchner
went back to his home. living with
his brother, Fred Kirchner, the owner
Of several rich farms. Fred died and
left wife and five children. Before
his death the death of Barney oc-
Cured. The will Of Barney left all to
the widow Of Fred and her five chill
dren except $1,000 each to the Par
menter children in Cedar Rapids. Mrs.
Linneman, guardian Of the children.
brought suit against Gusta Kirchner,
executor Of the estate Of Fred Kirch-
ner and Barney Kirchner. The trial
to help the children get the money
promised them by the great uncle
brought up some clever legal points.
among them the cost of an education.
The superintendent Of schools figured
it would cost $4,000 to put them thru
college.
Frank Dawley and Carl Jordan re-
turned from Muscatine, where they
had been representing the children In
the trial, and Friday received tele-
gram stating that the jury had
awarded $1,000. This, with the $4,000
left the children, gives them $4,000. The
death Of Fred Kirchner left the widow
not only his large estate, but her
brother in laws death also left her his
farms.
