PHONE Charged With Bigamy and Taken In custody at midnight Tuesday, WIFE ARRIVES AT CIRCLEVILLE, Prosecuting Attorney Charles Gerhardt, of Pickaway County, Causes Colored Pastor's Arrest on Bigamy Charge as Soon as Mrs. Nickerson Arrives. Mrs. Lulu Gilmore Nickerson, the lawful wife of Rev. William T. Nickerson, of Columbus, O., and a bride of only a little over a year, arrived in Circleville, O., Tuesday evening, and at midnight Rev. Nickerson was placed under arrest at his home in Columbus, where he is living with a 16-year-old bride, on the instance of Prosecuting Attorney Charles Gerhardt, of Pickaway county, of which Circleville is the county seat. Mrs. Nickerson's departure for Ohio was not announced locally because of the fact that it was feared Justice might miscarry. Friends here have been watching the local developments and it was thought that if the woman's departure became generally known, Nickerson would be informed by wire before his wife could reach Ohio. The T.-R. made arrangements by wire with County Attorney Gerhardt, and a telegram from Mr. Gerhardt this forenoon announces the safe arrival of the young wife and the arrest of her erring husband. Rev. Dr. Jones May be Witness. It may be necessary for someone, an eye witness to the marriage of Rev. Nickerson and Lulu Gilmore, on Feb. 15, 1903, to be present at the preliminary hearing as a witness. Mr. Gerhardt states in his telegram that a wife is an incompetent witness in Ohio against her husband in a criminal prosecution. Mr. Gerhardt adds: "In case of a contest we will need Dr. Jones or an eye witness to the Iowa marriage. The hearing will not take place later than the 16th Inst." Dr. Jones was informed of the course the affair has taken, and while not stating positively that he will go, it is believed he will take sufficient interest to be present as a witness if it is absolutely necessary. Dr. Jones performed the marriage service of Nickerson and Miss Gilmore in this city. Friends Help the Wife. Friends in the city assisted Mrs. Nickerson in reaching Circleville, making up a purse for her benefit before her departure. There are many in the city who have become quite stirred up over the Nickerson case, and feel that the man should not go unpunished when his guilt is so clearly shown. Nickerson was married in Circleville to Myrtle Zimmerman, on March 23, 1904. Rev. J. A. Brooks, performed the ceremony. Prosecuting Attorney Gerhardt of Plattsburgh county, states that Nickerson perjured himself in making the application for the marriage, in his statement that he had no wife living. COMMITTEES HARD AT WORK (Continued From First Page.) electrical workers are actively engaged in the preliminaries, but no permanent organizations have as yet been perfected. The building trades unionists made a good start at organization at the Davenport convention last year. One of the strongest bodies to be come affiliated with the federation this year is the Trades and Labor Congress of Dubuque, representing a membership of 2,800 laboring men. Open Meeting Tonight. It was feared that the program for the open meeting tonight at the Odessa beginning at 8 o'clock, was to be seriously interfered with owing to the absence of Mr. John P. White, of Oska, president of the Iowa United Mine Workers, who was called to Missouri owing to a strike. Mr. Edwin Perry, of Oska, secretary and treasurer of the mine workers, arrived in the city this morning, and says that Mr. White will be on hand for his address.

Doctors of the city call attention to an epidemic of German measles, which has made its appearance in the city. A number of children have been stricken, and the disease is contagious. The doctors claim that the disease is transitory, and will last but a few days. The patient does not become ill, as in cases of the old-fashioned black measles, and there is no treatment in particular necessary, although it is well to call a physician at first, in order that the case may be properly diagnosed, and ascertain whether or not it is anything more serious. The inflammatory symptoms of the disease are similar to scarlet fever, and one child was quarantined for the latter disease, in order to be on the safe side. It later developed that the disease was nothing but the measles, and the quarantine was removed. The German measles is nothing to be feared and there are no serious consequences liable to ensue, as is the case with black measles. GRAFF HAS ACCEPTED. Principal of Marshalltown School Takes Rockford Position. Principal Ellis U.

Yesterday's winning from Burlington, put them at the top, while Fort Dodge, losing the Ottumwa game, dropped down to second place. The "Microbes" floated down stream to the water-soaked capital of Iowa's Delaware, where the players are web-footed, and were "trounced." The "Microbes" have been in the element long enough and should have won. The "Quakers" took a close one from Boone, Tiley's home run turning the trick. After an enforced idleness of two days, the "Grays" broke into the game again at Burlington Tuesday with an unlimited supply of ginger, pepper, and tobacco. They could scarcely wait for Umpire Golden to yell "Play ball," and in the first inning made as many runs as the home team could accumulate in the entire game. Not content with that, they piled up seven more tallies. Manager Sullivan put the blanket on Pitcher Reeves, after the fourth inning, and sent him to the stable. Freeman, who substituted, pitched good ball, but the game was hopelessly lost and it became only a question as the size of the score. The "Grays" fielding was fast and clean, the marred by two excusable misplays. Williams led in the hitting, with three beautiful hits, the first three times up. House and Mackey were also much in evidence with the stick, and "Big" Wilson, the new right fielder, had them buffaloed on the coaching lines. R. H. P. A. F.

Funeral Will be Held From the Methodist Church Thursday Afternoon at 2:30. The death of Rev. O. R. Newell, pastor of the Methodist church of Laurel, after having been stricken with pleurisy in his pulpit Sunday night has cast a gloom over the Upper Iowa conference, which Rev. Newell had served for so many years. Rev. Newell's last sermon was based on the thought that God wants busy men. He had only uttered a few sentences when he remarked to his audience that he was very ill, and if he might be excused for a few moments he would sit down, and perhaps would be better. Upon being removed to his home a half hour later, he said: "I guess it is all over with me. My work is done." He also took the desire that if he must go, he hoped he would not have to suffer. This he did, however, and the hours preceding his end were filled with suffering. Rev. Newell has never enjoyed good health. He was a very studious man, and was marked for his modesty, both in his pulpit and his daily life. Oliver Russell Newell was born near Allegheny City, Pa., Sept. 12, 1851. He united with the United Brethren church when 9 years of age, and with the West Manchester Methodist church now known as the Union Methodist church, at the age of 18. Later, the family moved to Livermore, West Moreland county, where he took an active part in church work. He entered the preparatory department of Allegheny College, Meadville, April 3, 1872, and continued as a student unit in the winter of 1875, leaving college in his junior year. He was licensed to exhort by the recommendation of his class at Livermore, Feb. 20, 1874, and was given a local preacher's license by the Meadville district conference of the Erie conference at Union City, Pa., Nov. 10, 1874. This license was annually renewed until he entered the traveling ministry. On Feb. 10, 1876, Rev. Newell was married to Martha Martin, of Tarnassus, Pa. Mr. and Mrs. Newell came to Iowa in the same year and Rev. Newell took charge of the Sheldon circuit in the Northwest conference, which he supplied until June, 1877, when he returned to Pennsylvania. In the fall of 1877, he returned to Iowa and entered the Northwest conference on trial and was appointed to Canton and Beloit. He was ordained a deacon by Bishop Harris at the session of the Northwest conference at Sioux City in 1879, and at the conference at Algonquin, was ordained as The order by Bishop Hurst. He was later transferred to the Upper Iowa, conference, and stationed at Lime Springs. His appointments in this conference have been at New Hampton, Clermont, Beaman, Lisbon, Central City, Montour, Morrison, Gladbrook, and Albion. In 1900 he was reappointed to Mountour, and in the fall of 1903 was sent to Laurel. Rev. Newell is survived by his wife and three children. Dr. W. W. Newell, of this city, Mr. Harris Newell, of Laurel, and Mrs. Gertrude Bruce, of Elliston. The funeral will be held from the Methodist church in this city at 2:30 Thursday afternoon, Presiding Elder W. Pitner officiating. Ministers of the conference, including Rev. Former Presiding Elder J. B. Albrook and Rev. Nathaniel Pyn, will assist. Rev. Pitner will also have charge of a brief service to be held at the Laurel church at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. Elizabeth, aged 56, wife of August Vogel, died at her home, 604 North First avenue, this morning at 7:30 o'clock. She had been ill for about a year, and her death is supposed to have been due to a general breaking down, although the exact cause is not known. This will be determined at a post-mortem examination to be held on Thursday. Mrs. Vogel was born in Austria, and came to America when but a child. With her husband she moved to Marshall. Town twenty-one years ago, and has since made her home here. She was a member of the German Presbyterian church. Besides the husband, she leaves four sons and four daughters. They are Mrs. E. L. Johnson, of Superior, Wis. Amelia and Pauline Vogel, of this city, Lillian Vogel, of Boston, Mass. August, F. A. and Albert Vogel, of Marshalltown, and Edward Vogel, of Rockford, Ill. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the residence, Rev. David Dempster officiating. Interment will follow in Riverside. Brasher. James O. Brasher, aged 66 years, a member of the Soldiers' Home, died this afternoon at 12:30 o'clock of malignant disease of the liver. Brasher was a corporal in Company H, First battalion, Twelfth United States infantry. He enlisted at Dubuque on June 3, 1862, and was discharged at Elmira, N.Y., in June 1865. He was admitted to the Home from Dubuque on Aug. 15, 1901. He leaves a wife, living at Cedar Rapids, and six children. The latter are Mrs. Susan B. Urban, of Ida Grove; Mrs. Clara B. Davidson, of Galesburg, Ill., and Miss Mamie Brasher, of Dubuque. The relatives have been notified, but arrangements for the funeral have not been made. In the Police Court. R. T. Turner, an aged resident of the south side, was arrested by Officer Hanson for quarreling with members of his family. He was charged with disorderly conduct and was released upon payment of the costs. Charles Brown, the colored man who was arrested and bound over .to the grand jury charged with the larceny of a bolt of cloth from the Maier tailor shop, and who is in jail awaiting the session of that body, says he is suffer ing with a contagious disease and wants to be released. In a letter ad dressed to Mayor Jones, an epistle pe culiar for its grammatical construction and spelling, Brown sets forth his claims to liberty. He would like to get out and leave town so that he might take treatment. He says: "I am a nice fellow, and would not try to steal nothing if I would not be drunk." Brown's crime carries with it a maxi mum of two years in the penitentiary. Thomas Wilson, charged with in toxication, was given six days Tues day. Officer Hurd made the arrest. smrm .^.^YsC^ To the one sending the greatest variety ot spelling* ......'...v........
