Ms YOUNG MAN INSANE. Breaking Fur- niture in Hie Home. TOO MUCH LIQUOR WAS THE CAUSE ft- hw & fflr* Vanderpool, Residing Northwest of the Cltr* Becomes Meiitally Aber rated She Was Taken to tylfc •j' Pleasant by the ShorlQC. •vi" From Wednesday's Daily •«, Last evening about 8 o'clock the po lice were called to the residence of Michael Byan, residing at 308 Hamil ton street, by excited neighbors, where they found Mr. Ryan's 18-year-old son, Charles, breaking the furniture apd otherwise deporting himself as a de mented person would. He was put into the patrol wagon and taken to the countv. jail, and today appears to be more quiet. The facts in the case as nearly aB they could be learned are as follows: The boy had been working on the section with his father yester day, and when he came home to supper in the evening it was noticed that he was acting strangely. After finishing his supper, without a moment's warn ing, he began to demolish the furniture. The father was unable to restrain him, and called the police with the result aforesaid. It was learned that the boy had drunk a quantity of liquor yester day evening, and that is probably the cause of his dementia. The boy was in the police court a few days ago, suf fering from something very much re sembling alcoholism and it may be that -the liquor take^ yesterday even ing was the cause of finishing mental ly unbalancing. The insane commis sion'was called together this afternoon and after hearing the testimony de cided that he was. suffering from acute mania, but whether it was caused by alcoholism or from some other cause could not be determined. He will bo taken to Mt. Pleasant this evening by Deputy Sneriff Slavens. It is a saying around the clerk's of fice that when one crazy person is broueht in, there will be two others to follow in a short time. This saying has had confirmation' in nearly every case, and today' was no exception to the -rule. Mrs. Catherine Vanderpool, residing with her son, Thomas Van derpool, about seven miles northwest of the city, was brought to thij cfty last evening by Deputy Sheriff George blavens. Mts.- Vanderpool was adjudged itisnne lpst spring by the insabe mission and taken to Davenport to a private institution, but a short time ago was allowed to comq home. Yes terday she ran away from home and went to the Wapello county hospital, where she was taken in and. cared for until her relatives arrived. Mr. Van derpool became unmanageable and her relatives decided to send her to Mt. Pleasant.^. The insole jbammisslon was calleH together this mbrniirtg and she was adjudged of unsound mind. Sher iff Frank Slutts left on Burlington No. 6 this noon for Mt. Pleasant with the patient. Thomas Kerby, of Agency, was com mitted to the county bastile by Esquire Humbert, of that\ place, yes terday, on. the charge of intoxicatiou. He was brought to this city last even ing aftjd it was thought for a time that he was itisnne but the authorities now think it ib a case of tremens, arid in a week's time he may be all right. If this does not tnrn out to be another case of insanity, the court house peo ple predict that another case will de velop soon. sr.?". v-i From Thursday's*Daily^ Jacob Rush was in police court this morning to answer to the charge of abduction, which George W. Thayer threatened to bring against him, but the prosecuting witness did not appear and Rush was released. The story of the affair as told by Jlr. Rush this morning, is as follows: "About a- year ago my daughter, Mrs. Clara Ridley, of 323 South" Uuion street, gave her 8-year-old daughter to George W. Thayer, who lives south of the city near the Hazel Dell school house, and supposed that Thayer had regularly adopted the child. I was called to Ottumwa to the bedside of my mother some few months ago, and learning of the pretended adbption, went to t'ae court house to see if the papers were recorded. I could find nothing of the kind on record, so my daughter and myself went to an at torney, who told us to get the child and let Mr. Thayer bring habeas cor pus proceedings if he wished to retain the custody of the little girl. My daughter and myself drove out to Hazel Dell school house yesterday and took the child away with us. We were just about opposite the Fair-Williams bridge works on South Vine street, when Thayer caught up with us, de manded the child and pulled me out of the buggy. I have only one arm, but I got a twist on him and threw him to the ground, putting my knee on his breast. He expressed a desire to get up and upon his promise to let us alone I let him get up and we got in the butrs-v and drove on. He did not keep his promise, and stopped us again, calling upon the neighbors to help him get his child, as he called her. We fi nally drove home, taking the child with us, and Thayer had me arrested. As a matter of fact Thayer had not adopted the child it was simply a scheme of his to get possession of her without her shnritig in his property, if he had any, when the time came for it to be divided. Thayer exhibited io mv daughter a piece of paper, that he said contained the articles of adoption but it was simply a contract, the terms of which-1 do not know." Mr. Thayer could not be found to get hlB side of the altalr, but doubtless it will not-be-allowed to rest without habeas corpus proceedings being brought. THE OTTUMWA COURIER THUBS DAY,. NOVEMBER 10. 1899. Fourth and Jefferson, streets in an in toxicated cpndition, but still able to sit on a horse, Norman'said he had been working steadily for five months, and he thought it no more than right that he should be allowed to have a little fun. He was told that there are sev eral kinds of fun, and,this was one of the kind that would riot be tolerated. He was brought to the station yester day morning in the patrol wagon, the police having found him near the Un ion depot lying near the tracks, and the police say he had reached the worst degree of the different stages of beastly in toxlcation. The court took into consideration the fact that Joe had never before given the police any trouble, and let him go. Sam Kildew has no feet but wears a "air of stuffed boots that answer the purpose in a way, the tops of which are strapped around his legs. 8am said this was the first time he had ever been arrested, and that the tales told of him riding his. horse into saloons list night were fab rications made out of whole cloth. While he has ho feet he manages to get around very wMl, and when turned loose this morping, he mounted a pile of telephone poles in the yard at the city hall, the horse sidled up to him and Sam mounted his steed and rode away. Frank Loomis, who was fined $50 yesterday and committed, jumped) out of the second story window at ae city hall, while cleaning up the coun cil chamber yesterday evening, and got away. The police are glad to get rid of him as he is of more use away from here than he would be on ine stone pile. Articles of incorporation were filed today in the recorder's office of Wa •pello lodge No. 63, I. O. O. F. The purpose of the organization according to the articles is to conduct a lodge as laid down in the constitution and by laws of the order and that they may for lodge purposes borrow $3,000 and in no event is the indebtedness to ex ceed that amount. The private prop erty of members is exempt from cor porate debts and until the first regular meeting of the order the affairs of the lodge will be in charge of C. C. Pow ell, W. N. Ballard and J. H. Finley. GAME WARDEN IN TOWN Geo. W. Delavan, FIkIi and Game War* dun, Iilln. From Wednesday's Daily. G. E. Delevan, state fish and game warden, with headquarters at Esther ville, was in town this morning to at tend the trial of the Bonaparte dam case, but found that the trial of the same had been postponed until the 27th. Mr. Delevan in speaking of the litiga tion between the state and the Meeks, said that while the latter people had a deed to the dam from the state, yet he thought the same power-tjiat so)d the dam could regulate-the fisli-\y?S' mat ter the same as had been done in other parts of the sta^e. He also said that the Meeks had entered into a contract with the state at the time of the pur chase to keep the :lot'ks inijjfvorking or der, and in caset.t^at were done there would be no need of a fish-way, but that part of the. contract had not been -.complied --j's "Another" tlit?!^,''' fcua^MrV Deievaitf "that is an outrage-is the Illinois game law, which compels the Iowa sports man to pay a license of $10 for each county ill! which, Jie hunt&T Iowa has no law of this kind and Illinois hunt ers come over into our territory and poach upon our preserves with impun ity, while the Iowa hunter must pay or be arrested arid fined.1 Last'Satur day, Judge Kohlsaat, of Chicago, held that the Illinois law is constitutional,, in a test case hrought from Hurligton. The Burlington sportsmen have a club h?use on-the Illinois side, and having been annoyed by the Illiuois game war den determined to make a test case, so one of their number shot a duck in the club preserves and was immediately arrested. Judge Kohlsaat held the law constitutional and the Burlington sportsman had to suffer. Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dalcotas have the same kiud of law forbidding hunting within tne limits of the state, but? the license,ranges from $10, I think, in the Dakotas to $25 per county in Minneso ta and" Wisconsin. If the other states have that kind of a law, why should not Iowa have the same. Iowa game is for Iowa tax-payers and should be protect ed from foreign shooters. "I have received many letters from different parts of. the state," said Mr. Delevan, "in regard to the operation of fish-ways, and in all cases it works to a charm. It does not deplete the store of water above a dam, and consequent ly does not impair it for the propulsion of machinery. You folks up this way are entitled to a share of the fish that come from the Mississippi, but which are now being stopped at Bonaparte, and the state proposes to see that you get what you are entitled to." Mr. Delevan has been busily engaged in catching mlnnowB In the bayous along the Missessippi river to be used in stocking Iowa's rivers, and the im portance of the outcome of the dam case to the people along the Des Moin es river' was the only, thing that in duced, him to ceass his work at this time of year.

I WEATHER FORECAST Bev. Irl J. Hicks Prediote the State of November Weather. A BLIZZARD IS DUE NEXT FRIDAY. The Reverend Forecaster Says a Gold Wave Will Strike These Parts on November 19 and Contlnae Until the 23rd Rev. Irl Hicks, whom many people believe to be gifted with second sight in the matter of weather predictions has just issued his "almanac." It is a combination of prophecy, sermons and fairy tales that makes entertaining reading even if the prognostications are shrouded in mystery just a trifle at the beginning of each "prognosticate." The matter is fully explained, howev er, at the ending of the paragraph in which he juggles with the astronomi cal terms. That is they may be astro nomical or may not for all we know, and when he says the moon "is in ap ogee" on a certain date he undoubtedly means it but it is hard to believe. Read ers who live on other planets will read ily recognize the meaning of "a Vul can perturbation, 'blended with Mer cury and Mars," but we who live close to the ground are somewhat skeptical. Be that as it may, the preacher fore caster has a reputation among people as a weather prophet and its one that is hard to 'beat. The following is what he says will happen during the latter part of November: "A November blizzard of sleet and snow over the northern half of the country about the 17th to 19th need not surprise the people. A general cold wave should be looked for about this time lasting up to about the 23d. All perishable products should be put in readiness for prompt protection be fore this time. Means should be at hand for the shelter of tender plants and shru'bbery even far toward the south." It is well that the last was added as we generally bring our gera niums in the house along about this time of year. Continuing the article says: "During the Vulcan storm pe riod, extending from the 23d to the 27th,' the barometer will again fall and all the conditions of precipitation and storminess will return. Moon is in apogee on the 24th, at last quarter Jri the 25th aud on the equator on the 20th: The low barometer and warmth will culminntei'. especially southward, in lightning arid thunder on and next to the 26th, after which the high ba rometer, high winds and cold will rush down from the north and west. It should be remembered that marked meteoric showers are due on or about the 27th. The last tiyo days of the month will bring return of falling ba rametf^hjglieir-teraperatuvejancJ iten deoSy IS geri£rat ra!s rind snojv." The weather we have had from the first of the month to the present time he foretold in this way. "Falling 'barometer, warmer, south erlv winds, ending in cloudiness and rain may be expected 'from the 1st to the 3d, reaching a crisis of high tem perature and storminess about the time of the new moon on the 3d. Close behind these storms a decided cold wave for the season will rush .down ward from the northwest causing snow and cold, northerly currents will dominate most parts of the country up to about the 6th. During the 7th and 8th a reaction from'boreal, nnti storm conditions will set in, warmer weather will spread from west to east, the barometer will fall and more rain, turning to snow will visit many sec tions over central and northern states. There is no need for foolish alarm when we say that heavy autumnal storms and gales are exceedingly prob able between the 11th and 14th. Over the lakes and on the North Atlantic danger to shipping should be antici pated while rain, sleet and snow will visit-vast areas of the continent. Earth quake phenomena in many parts of the earth will be the natural, and in most instances harm less outcome of the peculiar astronom ic conditions at this time and through all the central parts of November." People with good memories will find it interesting to think over the weath er for the past two weeks and see how near the prophet came to making a good guess. ^•a'NEW I'OSTil ORDE1I Pertaining to mailing Gifts and Souv enirs and Unhealed Package*.
