She's a Good Marryer.
Waukon Standard:—A character well known as a resident of Postviile, “Madam Mitchell, the English fortune teller,” was married at Marshalltown last week to Capt. M. J. Caldwell. She is an old hand at the marrying business, having been married, it is said, three times in the last year or two. She is 76 and he is 80 year old. Recently she was married to an old soldier named Moser living in the Soldiers' Home, a marriage at first sight arrangement worked through a matrimonial agency. She lived with him a week and got about a $1000 out of him. How much she will make out of Caldwell remains to be seen. **
