IOWA NEWSPAPERS.
A QUEER STORY.
[D'ubuque Telegraph.]
The story told last week of an Iowa.
City attorney being rubbed while on a
train near Cedar Rapids has been tx
plairjed. The young attorney was born
and raised in this city, and- it is said
he came into lKissession of $3,000 in a
rather queer manner, and Sunday
night a woman arrived in Dubuque and
before she left here yesterday she
called on the young attorney and his
father got the money chat the young
man claimed was stolen from him.
A BULLET'S WORK.
TCouncIl Bluffs Nonpareil.]
Lieut. Williams, of Shenandoah, who
served with Company E, Fifty-first
Iowa, during the campaign of the regi
ment in the Philippines, is in the city
for tha purpose of undergoing an op
eration for the removal of a bullet from
his 'thigh. He got the ball on August !).
1899, during the advance on Calulut. Ii
passed through one thigh and lotlged In
the other. Of late it has been bothering
him some and he has decided to have it
removed. The operation will be per
formed by Dr. DonaKl Macrae, Jr., at

this week.
RAILROAD MAN GOING EAST.
[.Mason City Globe-Gazette.]
Alex Moll returned this forenoon
from the east, where he has been in
conference with Genera! Manager F.
D. Underwood, of the B. & O. Mr. Moil
has accepted the position of trainman-,
ter on the B. & O., with headquarters
at Grafton, W. Va., at a salary of ?, 17r,
per month. He will leave Saturday for
his new Held of usefulness: lie is an
excellent railroad man and is one of th"
kind that commands promotion, by ex
ceptional service. It is not known who
•will be his successor her-, but. If the
local sentiment could be consulted C. 1
Hlpglns would be the. unanimous
choice of the city. Wliiie Mr. Moll's
friends tender their hearty congratula
tions, there is mingled with them sin
cere regret that social circles are to be
''deprived of his presence, and also that
of his estimable wife.
SMOOTH SWINDLE.
[Kort Dodge Missenger.]
Sheriff Dowd has received a card no
tifying him to look out for some swin
dlers who are working a peculiarly
clever swindle. This swindle is about as
smooth as could he imagined and this
is the third time, Mr. Dowd says, that
he has been notified of this being
worked since he has been in ofllce. The
scheme is to select some piece of land
In the county which is owned by a non
resident proprietor, forge a deed to the
land and have an abstract prepared
and have the forged instrum-nt placed
on record. Then armed with the ab
stract. which declares the regularity of
the proceedings, they will go to some
loan agency and secure a loan for as
much as the land will stand and then
disappear. The lirst working of the
scheme of which Mr. Dowd has been
notified was worked in Blackhawk
county, near Waterloo, the swindlers
securing 2,000.
IOWA GIRL IN WASHINGTON.
[Keokuk Gate City.J
Col. Dave Henderson, our new speak
er, is the father of a splendid daughter,
who will now rapidly come to the front
in the soclul circles of Washington, al
though she is by no means unknown at
present—in fact Belle Henderson,is very
popular. The young lady has spent
.much of her life in Washington, where
She has for some time attended Mt. Ver
non seminary, and is very accomplished
musically, possessing a sweet voice, and
is able to skillfully play lier own ac
companiments. Miss Henderson in ap
pearance greatly resembles her father—
her eyes are blue, complexion faultless,
und her hair a soft chestnut brown,
while in stature she is tall and very
'-graceful. She lias none of the whimsi
cal and nonsensical notions that many
of the devotees of society possess, and
besides enjoying the old-fashioned idea
of extending hospitality as well as being
entertained also gives much of her time
to reading and study.
WOOLSON'S OVERWORK.
[Washington Press.]
Judge John S. Woolson nroke down
under overwork. But much of It was
unnecessary. For instance, we were
a petit juror in Ills court for three weeks
a few years ago. Nearly every case was
that of a boot-legger. The cases were
as like, as two peas. Wo ground out
four or live, or even seven or eight in a
day. Yet he was as painstaking in the
last one as in the first, giving almost
the same identical verbal instructions,
live to fifteen mir.uteB long, in one as in
another. In that one item alone, there
was exepditure of nervous force, of con
centration of mind, and of breath that
in the aggregate was enormous, and'not
at all necessary. Same juries, similarity
of evidence in all the cases, same princi
ples to lie applied, substantially the
same facts, aijd the juries got to laugh
ing at the instructions, and could al
most anticipate them, word for word,
as you can repeat many a deacon's
stereotyped prayer. This constant,
wearisome repetition was not needed,
and it made lots of wear and tear on
him. But he was painstaking, and wore
himself out in that kind of practice. He
did not husband himself. And in other
respects he Is said not to have left de
tails to others. When Governor Kirk
wood went into the interior department
he tried to cover the whole ground, ex
amining exerything, leaving nothing to
subordinates, and he, too, was a-weary
with unnecessary work. A man can't
do every thing In this world, and he is
foolish to try. There are some good
points about the'Spanish "tomorrow."
STATE BOARD OF CONTROL

is to Influence the legislators to favor

just as fast as they could for the ben

WASHINGTON
CENTENNIAL.
[W. Dudley Mabry in "Self Culture" for
December.]
One hundred years a£o the spirit of the
immortal Washington took leave of tills
world. Although he hud nearly com
pleted his sixty-eighth year of life,
every indication promised hliri yet many
years more in which to enjoy the re-
powers to a remarkable degree. They
had never been impaired to the slightest
extent by any vicious habit. No vice
had ever been able to fix its. gnawing
tooth upon the fibre of his inflexible
character. He had therefore come near
ly to the allotted "thiec-scoro years and
ten" erect of form, with the glow of
health upon his cheeks, with natural
force unabated and eye undimmed. Un
aided he was able to mount his spirited
horse and ride for hours without fa- inscribed
tigue. Men by many ears his juniors
found it no easy task to kc-ep pace with

only drank a cup of tea.
After'supper he retii od to the parlor,
and, as was his custom, 'spent the even

his wife and other members' of the
household. At that hour he was in the
habit of going to bed: but on this night
he retired to his library with Col Tobias
Lear, a gentleman of education and re
finement. who had bceii for many years
with General Washington, first as his
private secretary and afterward as su
perintendent of his private' affairs. Th-v
remained together until near midnight,
during which time the soreness in his
throat and his hoarseness grew worse.
To a suggestion of Col Lear he replied.
"No you know I never take anything
for a cold: let it go as it came." When
he retired to his bedroom his wife up

Washington, though in great
pain, uttered 110 word of complaint, but
endured with patience the sufferings
that were to be unto death.
Owing to swollen and Inflamed condi
tion of his throat, any effort to speak
was attended with great pain, while it
w.-is very difficult for him to make him
self understood. He therefore spoke
but little. What few words he did utter
were listened to eagerly and were treas
ured up In the grateful memories of
those to whom they were spoken. One
of his old servants, while gently
smoothing out his pillow, asked him
some question, to which he replied, "I
am very ill." To Dr. Craik he said, "I
am dying, sir but I am not afraid to
die." He was the most self-possessed
person in the room. Frequently he ex
pressed regret that he should be the
cause of trouble and anxiety to others.
His inind was 'clear and he knew thai
the end was at hand. He called his
wife to him and told her to go to his
desk, look in his private drawer, and
bring him two papers she would find
there. He looked them over, and then
handed them back to her, saying,
"These are my wills preserve this one
and burn the other." Then, speaking
to Col. Lear, lie said, "At length 1 am
going. Have me decently burled, and
do not let my body be put in the vault
in less llutn three days after I am
dead." He was evidently keeping close
watch upon the sands of his life. He
was seen to feel his pulse. Then lie
askul what time it was. Being told
that it was some minutes after ten
o'clock, he composed Ills body at length,
folded his hands over his bosom, closed
his eyes, and fell asleep never to awake.
So quietly and peacefully had he passed
away that those who wore in the room
remained for some moments in perfect
silence, hardly knowing that he was
dead. Mrs. Washington, who sat near
the foot of the bed. at length asked in
a firm, colli cted voice. "Is he gone?"
Col. Lear could not speak for his grief,
but held up his hand in token that he
was no more. She then said in the same
voice, "Tis well. All Is over I shall
soon follow him I have 110 more trial
to pass through!" She was then' led
from the room, overwhelmed with grief.
At the moment of hia death there were
la the room Col. Ltar, Dr. Craik, Mrs.
Washington, the servants Christopher, I being accurately cut, arbors and pin
Caroline, Molly and Charlotte, and the ions of the best open hearth steel frame
