C. Whistler Skips Out in Answer to an Advertisement of “ Wanted, a Wife ”—Seeking a New Husband and Home.u Gone with a handsome man, well that aint much to say. ”It seems to be a good deal to say in this case, however, and the latest developments go to show that the skippingout of Mrs. C. C. Whistler as mentioned in The Times of last week is a little more Interesting than it was at first supposed to be. Of Mr. Whistler we need say nothing: be is known in the county unlimitedly and others are as equally qualified to judge him as is The Times It was eight years ago when Mrs. Whistler—mother of Will and Clarence—died and four years ago Mr. Whistler met and married Mrs. Zilphia Agniel at Independence, Kansas. Mrs. Agniel had a daughter named Maud. After the marriage Mr. Whistler took his wife to bis home at Roekfield, where they have resided since. Mrs. Whistler was a, tali lady, rather prepossessing and was fond of dress. She had a penchant for the masculine and preferred the company of men. She was rather bold and was not slow to make a desired acquaintance. This beiug the case it would not be wondered that their married life did not prove to be one of unmarred bliss. None of their married life was above pleasantness, but about a year ago it is said that she began to “talk about him” to the neighbors and she seemid to lose her respect for him and treated him veryshabbily. This lasted, growing worseeach day, until September 11, when MrsWhistlar and daughter disappeared from home. Before leaving she slipped a box of household goods from the house and shipped them to Bock Island where a sister resides. Whistler was anxious to find her and made inquiries at Bock Island about her, but they resulted in finding no trace of her. The matter rested at this stage for a tipae and tben} by letter, it was learned that Mrs* Whistler was keeping house for a mau named H. Baker at Carpentersville, III. She bad gone back to her former name and called herself Mrs. Agniel to correspond with the name of her daughter, who resided with her. To help the matter along Mr. Aguiel wrote Whistler a letter from Grey ville, III., in which hestated that he was not dead as was supposed and his former wife hail married him (Whistler) only for his money and informed Whistler that he (Agniel) had played sucker to the tune of about twelve thousand dollars. About the time a letter came from Carpenters ville giving the matrimonial record of Mr* Baker. He married an estimable lady who gave him two children and died*He married again and got a divorce from bis number two. He married again and number three died, leaving him three children. He wedded number four and is now trying to get a divorce from her to make Mrs. Agniel his number five. Mr. Baker seems to have an advertising mauia and has secured two of his wives and a candidate for third place in his affections by advertising. Two have evidently proved satisfactory. Two were weighed and found wauti ng and the fifth is awaiting a trial. Whistler can’t exactly reeoocile himself to thefact that his wife deserted him for a mauwitb such a brilliant record as Biker has, and as the woman seems to prefer him with bis unsavory matrimonial record and money to Whistler, it is evident that more will come of the matter thau has already developed. Wbile Mr. Whistler’s circumstances are not now more than comfortable it is understood from an authenticated source that be will soon come into possession of quite a little money which Mrs. Whistler would have eventually become the possessor of. As far as reports go she musthave miscalculated her distance.Report of Their Semi-Monthly Meeting Held Last Tuesday Evening. *An ordinance regulating the peddling of meats inside the city limits was defeated and no restriction will hereafter be placed on the sale of this necessary of life.J.

No money can be played for at this time as the law prohibits any such action. As long as the game is a social one and no money is played for by the playeis the game can be legally bad but w hen a purse or prize is at stake the players hold themselves open to prosecution. A number of our citizens will go to the Fountain City on that day and witness the sport. The game will undoubtenly be one of the most interesting ones played by that team this year.Rendering c Court Thij Which•GoingThe Lafaisays: u Tbaffirmed theiu the case cthe Lake Ei October, 187 instituted thirty-eight street, in tt The appraise which she a tried in the she obtained for $5,008. .
