cHnD's RELIEF FUND.

So far the little fund of Thirty
six Dollars and Fifty Cents we art
attempting to raise by subscrip
ton from the readers of The En-
terprise to care for a few orphan
children of France continues to
grow in accordance with our de.
sires. It will be well for those
who give this amount in Toe coins
to bear in mind that as soon as
we realize the first $3.50, which
is sufficient to care for little
orphan one whole year, we will
add the sum Of $1.O0 as stated in
our last issue. Every cent placed
in our hands will be duly ac-
counted for and as soon as it is
raised it will be forwarded to the
proper persons for the care Of
little child. It would be well for
these subscriptions to come in as
rapidly as possible, so we can then
commence work on the second
fund for the same purpose. Re-
member if every reader will come
forward with only ten cents they
will be instrumental in assuring
support for as many as six chill
dren. and the sooner we commence
on the second campaign the bet
ter. Do not overlook this CHART
able work so necessary for the
sustenance Of these unfortunate
little waits. Drop the dime in an
envelope with your name and ad-l
dress to The Enterprise. Ten
cents from each reader is all we
ask, and Iberia must not lose its
reputation to be the most charit-
able people in the State. What
. consolation it win be to you dur
ing the cold dreary winter months
50 know that you have assisted
in affording food and shelter for
Z poor little unfortunate child
that ii neglected because It's
fatherland is engaged in fighting
off the enemy. Loosen up your
purse strings and enroll yourself
among the number who are con-
tributing to this worthy cause.
The amount realized so far it as
follows

FAMILY TO LOSE
GOOD BUSINESS

Many prominent washingtonians
are wishing a certain recent draftee
from this city good luck for the dura-
ton Of the war, for they want him to
come back and dye" right here in

by his mother, Mrs. J. l.. Besson, will
be compelled to shut down, for the
summer at least.
Miss A n. Besson. who. with her
brother. has been running her moth
er's business, said today that because
OF her brother leaving they would be
forced TO close for the summer any
way. and perhaps would not be able
TO open up again at all. She said
that senators ana CABINET officials
families have been customers OF their
establishment. and that many officials
leaving Washington have continued
to be customers in cities far from
here.
John Besson was graduated from

WIFE'SOWN WORDS
CAUSE Of Staying,
HUSBAND ASSERTS

MACON, No, June 25-What did
Mrs. Irving Morgan. the bride OF
Irving Morgan. tell her husband that
so enraged him that he hurled her to
Ser death from the window Of a sleep
ing car as it sped toward Quincy, Ill.
ten days ago?
This is the question that is puzzling
officials here as they prepare to ar
raign Morgan for a preliminary hear
p ing. He is charged with killing his
wife by pushing her OF the train
shortly after it pulled out Of Shell
bino, Mo. The body was found sew
eral days later by track walker.
Told Two Stories.
One statement made by Morgan was
that he hurled her from the train
because he loved her so much"
The police today said that Morgan
originally told them still another
story.
I'VE were riding along IN the draw
!ng-room Of the sleeping car" Nor
gan is said TO have told the police.
Il opened the window to throw out a
box Of candy that had melted.
ut was at that time he declared.
that my wife made certain revela-
tions that drove me to a frenzy
She laughed and talked in a tsunt-
ing manner" the police version of the
story says. so I seized her and push
ed her out of the window"
Regretted Action.
"She screamed and muttered
something I could not hear for the
noise OF the train.
T picked up her clothing and
threw it out Of the window after
her. Then I fell on the bed ex-
hausted and unstrung.
There was no struggle. It hap
pened all in a few moments. and
almost before it was over 1 regretted
what ! had done"
When found. the body was covered
only by a pair OF silk hose and
light silk undervest.
Shortly after the incident. Morgan
left the train and boarded another
train returning to Kansas City. He
was captured and taken to Shelbino,
but because OF feeling running high
he was brought here for safe keep
ing.
Holds silence.
II Is planned to take him to
Shelbino probably Friday for a pre-
liminary hearing.
On being questioned as what his
wife said to him that caused him
10 throw her from a moving train.
Morgan declined 10 give that bit Of
Information.
BY his own statement, Morgan has
routed the theory that the young
wife was strangled to death inside
the car and then hurled through the
window.
