John McMiller has been in LeMars for several days visiting his son Horace.
He is the steward of the penitentiary of Anamosa and has held the office for
about a dozen years. He came to LeMars from Fort Dodge where he has attended
the reunion of the 32nd Iowa, which meetings he has attended every years
since the war.

A DARING RESCUE.

Opportunities to distinguish themselves do not come to all men, but two
LeMars gentlemen had a chance last week and rose nobly to the occasion.
While Capt. Drew and Cor. Haas were standing on the sidewalk talking about
needed reforms in the Democratic party, a team drawing a lumber wagon and a
load of barrels came rattling up Main street at a runaway pace. It only took
one glance to show that there was no driver. "Now then, quick! You grab the
off horse and I will catch the other." In two seconds each one had a horse
by the bridle. "Whoa there" and the team came to a sudden stand that threw
all of the barrels into the front end of the wagon. A head with whiskers on
it came slowly out from among the barrels and a voice like the crack of doom
yelled. "What are you doing? Let my team alone." "Beg your pardon we did not
know you were on board, we thought the team was running away," said the
thoroughly disgusted rescuers. "Well, do not do it again, get out of this,"
said the driver as he started on.

There was no chance to found a dime novel on the rescue of a beautiful young
lady from a tragic death this time, and the would be rescuers looked quickly
around to see if any one was looking as they made a lively sneak for the
waiting dry goods box on the sidewalk.

A WOMAN WALKS TWELVE MILES.
Mrs. Theodore Mueller Comes to Le Mars on Foot to Have Her Husband Arrested.

A case in Justice Steiner's court has not been without its lessons to those
contemplating matrimony and a life of Elysian bliss surrounded by the sacred
blessings of sweet domestic felicity.

Theodore Mueller and his frou live on a farm in Lincoln township about
twelve miles from LeMars. On this account if for no other their life should
be a happy one in this case of bank suspensions and low tariff agitation and
free silver debate in the senate. Bur rural joys failed to bring happiness
to the lady in the case on account of a few little peculiarities on the part
of her liege lord. He looketh on the wine when it is red and upon the beer
when it frotheth in the glass. The he goeth home and carresseth his wife
with a hoe handle and combeth her hair with a bootjack. She became tired of
these pleasures and walked the entire distance of twelve miles to LeMars to
have him put under bonds to keep the peace. She also wanted to have him give
her a share of the property and let her in peace to live without him.

Sheriff Boyle went out and brought in the belligerent husband. It appears
that at one time he read his wife with a hatchet and told her that he would
serve her in that way some time. At another time a few weeks ago while going
home from LeMars, she dropped a package out of the wagon and jumped out to
get it, when he drove off and left her there in the road eight or nine miles
from home. She walked back to LeMars that day and stayed here until she got
a chance to ride out home.

When they appeared in court Theo at once began to scold his wife for having
him arrested. She was not at all slow about replying and the justice had to
seat them at opposite ends of the table to prevent their getting into a
quarrel right then and there.

When the fierce husband was confronted with the alternative of giving bonds
or going to jail, he at once became tame and whined in a babyish way about
his hard lot. The justice gave the couple a good sensible lecture and they
concluded to live in peace. She withdrew her complaint and her husband was
released under bonds. If he appears and pays the costs in the stipulated
time, he will be a free man again.

SHOT IN THE FACE.
Fred Osterbuhr Shoots His Brother With a Target Rifle.

Three badly scared boys drove to LeMars last Friday. They came from Grant
township and they were brothers, sons of a farmer named Osterbuhr, who lives
about seven miles from LeMars.

Otto J. Osterbuhr, a boy aged fifteen, was suffering considerable pain from
a rifle wound in his face. While playing with a small target rifle that
shoots a BB shot from a cap, Fred, a boy only twelve years old hit his
brother in the upper jaw just below the nose. The bullet went in and
downward, breaking the bone in the roof of his mouth and knocking out two of
his teeth. Dr. Brick took out the ball by cutting in through the flesh in
the roof of the mouth. The boy will probably recover in a few weeks, but
such lacerated wounds are slow to heal and the case may become very serious.

A SOLDIER'S LOVE FEAST.

There are some happy moments in all our lives and those spent at the Grand
Army post rooms last night were no exception to this rule. The Womans'
Relief Corps gave a supper and afterwards a very pleasing entertainment
consisting of music furnished by a male quartette made up of Hon. I.S.
Struble, Dr. Hilbert, DeWitt Clark, and Mr. Mudge, who rendered, "When We
Were Boys," "Brave Boys Are They," etc. All four of these gentlemen wore
glasses indicating that many years have come and gone since they wore the
loyal blue in the prime of their young manhood.

An improvised stage was fixed up-the drop curtain made of muslin and other
"scenery" to match. Mrs. C.H. Jones, president of the Corps read sketches of
Josiah Allen and his good wife in the "rose act." Wm. Swanzey took Josiah's
part and Mrs. Bennett the role of the housewife. The original kitchen,
butter bowel, ladle and butter were there and when churned and ready for
market, (after the "rose act") this worthy couple were seen seated on a big
lumber wagon seat going to Jonesville to trade. They carried all of the
parts out to perfection to the great amusement of all.

Following this came a question and grab-bag game in which prizes were drawn.
Mrs. W.H. McNeals, of Merrill, guessing eight correct answers took the
prize. About a hundred were present and all laughed at witty sayings and
comical actions until they, for the time being, forgot trouble had ever
crossed their pathway.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Prof. Coleman has introduced a new feature in the general exercise of Friday
afternoon at high school in the form of an old fashioned spelling match. The
three divisions of Misses Craig, Paxson, and Parker, and the graduating
class are to compete. Fifteen are chosen from each division as the
combatants.

Last Friday the representatives of Miss Craig's and Miss Parker's divisions
spelled, and Maud Steiner and Carrie Rolfing of Miss Parker's division won.
Tilly Karley of the opposition being the last one spelled down. The winning
division will compete at half past three next week Friday with Miss Paxon's
division exclusive of the graduating class. One the succeeding Friday the
winner will engage in orthographical combat with the graduating class.

Miss Jennie Carpenter returned to her home last Thursday and will go at once
to Chicago where she takes a post graduate course at the Chicago university.
Her teaching in LeMars was done to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Miss Williams. Miss Helen Ankeny, of Des Moines, who succeeds
Miss Williams began her work in the school on Friday.

Miss Parker returned to begin her school work today. Her aunt to whose
bedside she was called by sickness, was buried last week.

HELD UP (?) SMASHED UP.

Last Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock Walt Bailey and his man, John Wilters,
were up about six miles northwest of this city driving home with their pump
wagon. The night was dark and just as they were driving up a hill they
collided with a team coming down the hill on a trot. The last named team was
attached to a lumber wagon heavily loaded with brick. The result was the
horses and drivers of team number one with the team of number two were badly
mixed up and shook up. One horse from each team was badly hurt.

After the wreck was cleared up and the Bailey team started homeward they met
Mike McManihan, of Preston township, who claimed the other team and also
claimed that he had been "held up" by some tramp like men who robbed him of
his money. His story was not quite clear and it is not known whether Mike
was actually robbed or not. The general impression seems to be that he was
not waylaid and did not suffer his financial loss in that manner.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.

MERRILL: (From the Record)

As a Record reporter was standing on the corner of our streets last Saturday
morning he heard the piteous cries of a woman over on another street. He
started for the scene of trouble just in time to see a brutal husband deal
his wife a tremendous blow, which fell her to the ground. Not satisfied with
his devilish work he, bending over her prostrate form, began choking her
until the blood came from her ears, nose and mouth. As soon as the
perpetrator saw that men were coming, he rushed to the barn and while the
bleeding woman was being cared for, escaped. Yes, he escaped a good horse
whipping which the indignant citizens were about to give him.

Tillie Karley is attending school at LeMars this winter. Last week in a
competitive spelling match she stood the highest in her department.

LOST.

On Saturday, September 23, four doilies, finder will please return to Mrs.
W.F. Cooper.

The Independents Against Charles Pinney.

Up in the second supervisor district there has been quite a feeling for
sometime that there ought to be more than one candidate for the office of
county supervisor. The only man in the field had been Charles Pinney, the
present member of the district.

In accordance with this general sentiment of the people of both Republican
and Democratic parties, a petition has been circulated requesting Hon. M.G.
Mills to become a candidate for the office. The petition was largely signed
by people of both parties but principally by members of the Democratic
party.

The papers have been filed in the office of the county auditor and Mr. Mills
is receiving a hearty support from the people of his district regardless of
political party. He is known as a successful farmer and a good sensible
business man. He has had successful experience in many branches of business
and is not afraid to say what he thinks. The men who know him best say that
he would be one of the best men for the taxpayers of his county who ever
served on the board. There is a strong feeling in the county in favor of a
change all along the line. If the Democrats and Republicans unite in the
election of such men as M.G. Mills, no voter will ever regret it. Mr. Mills
was elected to represent Plymouth County in the legislature two years ago
but was obliged to resign on account of poor health. His health is fully
restored now and when elected this fall he will be able to do the people of
the county splendid service.

KINGSLEY: (Special Correspondence)

The farmers are now engaged in gathering corn.

Mable Heald was on the sick list last week.

Rev. Mr. and Mrs. J. Yerger, of Des Moines, are expected visitors next week.

Mrs. Lee Johnson, and son Harry, have returned from their visit to Hawarden.

A number of Kingsleyites contemplate going to Holstein tomorrow to hear
Frank D. Jackson lecture.

There will be quarterly meeting at the Beulah church east of town on Sunday.

Miss Leona Steele will teach the McCracken school this winter.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Foster visited in the country last week with Mr. Steel's.

Sunday afternoon as the Misses Grigery were out riding with one of Greeve's
livery teams, the breast strap broke, which frightened the horses beyond
control. The buggy was overturned and the ladies thrown out. The horses ran
into a barb wire fence, killing one instantly. The other one died soon
after. The ladies were not seriously hurt.

Friday morning as J.S. Ellis was on his way to LeMars about nine miles from
town, he stepped out of the buggy to put up a hitch strap that had come
down; as he went to get into the buggy the team became frightened and
jumped, which threw the squire down and broke his right arm (the humorous
bone.) It being only a short distance to Mr. Post's house, the squire went
there for aid. Mr. Post was not a home but Mrs. Post hitched up a team and
brought him to town. His arm is now slowly mending.

Monday night a reception was given to the M.E. minister, Rev. A. Brown. The
stores were closed early, business suspended and everything gave way to the
grand reception. At nine o'clock Miss Etta Butler gave an eloquent address
of welcome which was responded to by Mr. Brown. Later the Kingsley Cornet
band circled in front of the parsonage to welcome the minister with strains
of music until the very heavens showed forth a Republican victory this fall.
Refreshments were served to all who could get into the house and scores that
could not get in were served outside. Music by the united church choirs was
equal to any Kingsley has every afforded. To say all had an enjoyable time
would be speaking the lowest degree.

Miss Carrie Schneider and Miss Clara Knowles, teachers in the public school,
started for the World's Fair on Monday. Miss Knowles' place is being filled
by Miss Queenie Robinson and Miss Schneider's place by Miss Fannie Knowles.
They expect to be gone about a week.

WENT IN FLAMES.
Destructive Fire on Main Street Last Night.
Forty Horses Burned to Death

Fire Starts in Corkery's Livery-A Wrecked Block-Roof of the LeMars National
Bank Burned-Good Work of the Fire Boys-They Saved the Town-Losses and
Insurance in Detail.

A fire was discovered last night in C.E. Corkery's livery barn and the whole
interior was in a blaze almost at once.

Fred Corkery and two men who slept in the barn were wakened by the smoke.
They rushed out to try to save the horses and did not even stop to put on
their clothes.

The flames burst through the roof and the fire alarms were sounded by the
whistles at the Plymouth Roller Mills and at the water works and by the fire
bells. The people were awakened to find all that part of town lighted by the
blaze.

The fire companies arrived in very quick time and the boys all worked like
heroes to save the adjoining property. The wind blew from the south carrying
the burning shingles and sparks over past Sixth street and across nearly to
Eighth like a storm of snow flakes. The flames spread to the meat market of
Connor & Hillery and across the alley to the large barn that fronts on Eagle
street. This made a solid wall of fire clear across the block. The house
occupied by R.B. Molampy was soon in a blaze. Spire's saloon on Eagle street
adjoining the barn was on fire so quick that it took lively work to get the
fixtures out.

The flames swept around the back end of the brickrow occupied by the store
of C.H. Kehrberg, A. Davidson & Co., M. Kleitsch and by Steffen & Fiddler's
saloon. On Main street Will Laux's brick building occupied by Norris &
Campbell's meat market followed that of Connor & Hillery and Mat Kale's
store and restaurant was in a blaze before he could get all of his stock and
fixtures out. The whole block to Sixth street seemed doomed. Then every one
expected to see the flames sweep across and clean out everything including
the opera house block and the row beginning with the First National Bank.
The occupants of the building on the north side of Sixth street got ready to
move out on short notice.

The back end of Steffin & Fiddler's place was soon in a blaze and the fire
caught on both floors of Kletiches' store and in the grocery department of
Davidson & Co's at the same time. The firemen flooded the flames and
although the alley where they stood was like a fiery furnace they put out
the fire and saved the block. About this time the fire caught in the rooms
occupied by Tom Andrew over Aupperlee & Freeman's store and the embers began
to blow in at the back cellar windows of the drug store of Sam Roberts & Co.
down where they store their oils. Roberts kept the fire out of the cellar by
using a sprinkling hose and the firemen flooded the Andrew rooms. The three
brick buildings occupied by Robert's & Co., Aupperlee & Freeman's store and
Haas & Huebsch were put out without further injury but beyond these a blaze
started in the roof of the LeMars National Bank. This building is much
higher than any of its neighbors and the blaze had got well started before a
stream of water was brought to bear upon it. One hose was carried up through
the building and out of the window of the third story and as soon as the
fire was under control in other places all the streams were turned upon the
bank. A large part of the root was burned off and the building flooded from
top to bottom. This morning the water stood an inch deep on every floor.
About half of the ceiling over the ball room was burned away and the canvass
over the floor is covered with cinders and plaster, but the floor was not
burned.

Some one started the cry that the water had given out when the bank was
burning but the next instant a stream shot up from the ground clear over the
building a hundred feet into the air showing a tremendous pressure. The
water was ankle deep last night in the alleys and gutters and although the
pumps threw water on the fire from two o'clock until nearly six the surplus
supply in the reservoir was not over half exhausted.

The flying embers started several fires in the alley back of the stores of
Sammis & Co., and Dow & Mordoff, but the property owners all did great work
with small sprinkling hose. This work saved that entire row.

The LeMars fire company did great service. When the fire was at its height
nearly everybody thought that everything west of Main street would have to
go. If it had not been for the efficiency of the firemen the loss could
easily have run up to a quarter of a million dollars instead of about
one-third that amount.

-----

Kingsley Times: R.M. Bailey, Republican candidate for sheriff, was a
Kingsley visitor on Monday. Mr. Bailey is making a strong run and in spite
of the large Democratic majority stands a good chance of being elected.

Sheriff Boyle is making a hard fifth for re-election, but the other
candidates who were nominated at the convention which was "too big a load to
carry" do not appear to be breaking the backs to help carry him.

A passenger from South Dakota on the railway up near Hawarden the other day
looked out of the car window and saw twenty-five cattle feeding in a small
green pasture, whereupon he remarked, "it would require a half section of
our Dakota land to keep that number of cattle. Dakota may be good, but Iowa
does get there with both feet."

The people of Plymouth County are giving Prof. Wernli a very cordial welcome
all over the county. He is known all over the country as an able educator
and has strong personal friends in all parties in the county who will help
elect him. He seems to be one of the strongest candidates on the ticket and
no one need to be afraid of throwing his vote away in casting his ballot for
this veteran educator.

George Rembe is gaining strength every day in his canvass in the Fifth
supervisor district. He is a strong man for the place. He is a successful
farmer and a good sensible man who will look out well for the interests of
the tax payers of the county, if he is elected. There is no doubt of his
election as the people of the district know that he is the man for the
office and they will go to the polls and vote for him instead of staying in
the cornfield on election day.

PERSONAL.

G.H. Bender of Hinton made the Sentinel a pleasant call last Saturday.

Miss Dot Mathews and Mrs. A.R.T. Dent left for Chicago last Saturday

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. A. Keeler, of Minneapolis, are in the city visiting Mr.
and Mrs. John E. Conner.

Mr. and Mrs. Beech, from near Hartford, Conn., old time acquaintances of
Mr. Ruicks, have been visiting in this city.

Messrs. Snowden, Stickney and half dozen other LeMars people have just
returned from the World's Fair and all are loud in their praise of the
"greatest show on earth."

O.J. Gondolf received the sad intelligence that his father at Ottawa, Ill.,
was not expected to live and hastened to that city last Wednesday. "Trouble
never comes single handed" seems exemplified in the case of Mr. Gondolf for
the past few months.

LOCAL.

You can see a full grown tarantula at Norris's restaurant market; he found
the same in a bunch of bananas.

Be on hand tonight at the opera house in good season as an overflowing house
will certainly greet Iowa's next governor.

Don't fail to hear Hon. Frank D. Jackson discuss the vital political issues
of this campaign at the opera house this evening.

J.H. Hoffmann wants it to be understood that he is on earth and that he
sells Dakota and Iowa lands; also writes insurance and makes farm loans.

John Linden sells a soft coal that is absolutely as free from smoke and soot
as hard coal, is well adapted for furnaces surface, hard coal burners and
cook stoves.

The LeMars water works and electric light company is doing a good job at
repairing the machinery of the plant, including the clearing and resetting
of the flews in one of their boilers.

The six-year-old son of John Bogen, who, with a number of little boys of his
size was following the band around the streets last Saturday, was run over
by a dray and badly bruised about the face. Dr. Hillebrand was called to
dress his wounds.

HORSE THIEF BOUND OVER.

Last Friday Charles Day, a Norwegian aged about 25 years, was brought before
justice of the peace, A.B. Steiner, charged with the stealing of a span of
horses, harness and wagon in Hungerford township, October 5, the same belong
to John Boyle. Day had been at work husking corn a few days for Mr. Boyle
and upon that day Boyle was at Leeds. As soon as he had gone the Norwegian
and was captured in Jackson county, Minnesota, north of Spirit Lake, Iowa.
Postals were sent out by Sheriff Boyle of this county and through them the
man was overtaken.

In Steiner's court the thief virtually confessed that he was guilty hence he
was bound over to appear at December grand jury. Bonds were fixed at $1000,
but his not being procured he was confined to the county jail. Horse owners
would much prefer to see him go to the penitentiary direct, without going
through the slow, very uncertain process of grand jury and district courts,
especially when the thief admits the crime.

COURT BUSINESS.

The district court is still grinding away. The Mathews-Herron case went to
the jury at 10 a.m. Friday last and after wrestling with the case until 3:15
p.m., they returned with a total judgment of $750 for the plaintiff, Geo. W.
Mathews.

On Friday last the case of the State vs. Otto and the case of the State vs.
Sam Hussey came up. Both defendants were released for lack of sufficient
evidence to convict.

The last assignment of cases is as follows: Monday, October 23, Murges vs.
Mullong.

Tuesday, October 24, Mitchell vs. Eastman; Gumble vs. Majors.

Thursday, October 26, State vs. Murry; State vs. McCaully; State vs.
Carpenter; Penning vs. Magnes; Hoffman vs. Bristow.

Friday, October 27, Linder vs. Wise.

At the present time, there are seven prisoners within the Plymouth county
jail, one recruit was added last Friday.
