went out to the Stahmer home and got
about thirty farmers to go with him
on a hunt for the boy. The sheriff
states that they secured no clue as to
the whereabouts of young Stahmer and
that they found no one who saw boy
who answers the description of him,
except a fisherman above Princeton,
who claims that he saw a young fellow
who might be Amos Stahmer.
Farmer Stahmer has three families of
children and the neighbors are free te
say that he has always been very rough
and sometimes cruel in his treatment
of all of them. A few years ago, it is
said that he whipped one of the boys SO
mercilessly that he ran from home and
jumped into the river, committing sui
eide. Stahmer is about 80 years Of age
and owns farm of 100 acres. He has
shown little concern over the disap-
pearance of his son since the neighbors
have taken up the case and has offered
a reward of $1OO for the finding of the
boy. The Stahmer home is about two
and half miles northwest of LeClaire.
The young fellow is highly spoken OF
by all the neighbors and was a favorite
in the community. The outcome of the
case will be watched with interest.

that the largest private mining trans

Mr.. Harsh the heaviest shareholder in

BANKERS HESITATE.
ISioux City Tribune.


Sioux City bankers have received
letters from Governor Shaw relative to
the proposition to have their number in
the state advance the money for the
transportation of the Fifty-first Iowa
from San Francisco to the state of
Iowa after their return from the Phil
ippine islands, the regiment being en-
route now upon a transport.
The governor wishes it understood
that the bankers are to be reimbursed
for their outlay Ills suggested that ii
will require $4,000 In ALL which means
that $500 should be raised in each coun
ty. : No movement has yet been
made to act jointly in the matter of
raising the money in this county, so it
was learned by visit to a number of
the banks this morning, although there
was general expression of willing
ness to respond to the governors APP
Ipeal. The bankers are simply waiting
for someone to take the initiative in the
movement to raise the money. One Of
the bankers seen said that he would not
be at all surprised IL the legislature de-
clined to reimburse the bankers for
their outlay. He thought the railroads
ought to be induced to soften a little
lin their patriotism and not make it q
lease of the bankers contributing to the
railroad corporations.

A RELIC
TWashinpton Press

AT Charley Cherry's sale the oldest
thing offered was a cradle for cutting
grain. That implement of husbandry
is as effectually relegated as flint gun
locks. Is as extinct as the dodo and the
immense reptiles and mammoths OF
long ago. One finger was gone. The
blade is about twice as wide as that of
a scythe. These cutters We're twins,
but the latter is still used in corners
and close places. Stranger still, man
was present who could swing the old
cradle. He cut wild grass and weeds
with all the old-time grace. 1t is the
finest worl-motion a man can make;
it is like the wild, free swing of sea-
water. Poetry suffered when the cradle
was superseded by machinery. We dc
not know who bought this cradle, but
he no doubt gotit as relic and me-
mortal He has several saved up.

All the farmers in the northern part
of Leclaire township are thoroughly
stirred up over the mysterious disap-
pearance of a 17-year- old boy named
Adam Stahmer. He is the SON of John
Stahmer. one of the well known and
long time farmers of that community.
Mr. Stahmer had a quarrel with the son
and the boy left home. This was early
In the morning before breakfast. While
the father was eating breakfas. the
boy skipped. A short time after, about
Z O'Clock, the father started away on
horseback after him. He was very
angry and rode away without his hat
and carried butcher knife in his hand,
according to what the other members
of the family say. Stahmer stated
when he rode off that he was taking
| the butcher knife with him to cut the
ropes with which the different gates on
| the place were tied to keep the cattle
from getting out.
| Shortly after the old man started
down through the timber his younger
son hurried along and overlook his
father, who sent him back home with
lthe horse. Stahmer returned home a
coupe of hours after and reported that
he could not find Amos Nothing has
been heard of the boy since. Whether

THE MAN OF THE HOUR


Crowded with duties as he is, it was
an act of great graciousness on the part
of Governor Leslie NJ. Shaw to come to
Keokuk and open its street fair with
an address as executive of the state.
He is one of the most extraordinary
men Iowa has produced 1t is an IL
Illustration of the security of democ-
racies. You go out upon the streets and
the highways and meet the multitude
here and there and it would seem that
all was in incertitude and confusion, as
lie no one knew his way in government
or what it was he wanted in public at
fairs. And then they And their man,
who seems as if the divinely elected
agent of the peoples will to do the right
and necessary thing. Before 1896 Gov
ernor Shaw was not known at all in
Iowa politics. In that year, because he
was a business man, he was asked to
make some speeches in his county upon
the issue of the gold standard as
against free silver. He was called in as
one of the many teachers in the cam
paign of educa ton. No one knew what
/ his qualities as teacher We're until he
should himself disclose them. Men that
CHANGED to hear him in one locality in
vited him into another. Before the
campaign was over he had been called
to speak in many OF the counties of his
part of the state. The next year there
were several candidates for governor.
! but Shaw was nominated easily. The
convention that nominated him had
never seen him. The men that are in
the habit of going to state conventions
had never seen him. A great part OF
them had never heard of him. Today
he is the leading speaker for the cause
of sound money in the United States

question at issue between the advo-
Gates of the gold standard and the adj
