ANOTHER clEvrR5s wi,INDLE.

John Beck. Near Duncombc the
Victim OF an Alleged Doctor.
Special to Times-Republican
Fort Dodge, April 24.-John Beck, a
wealthy farmer, living on large farm
five miles north OF Duncombe, a small
town twenty miles east Of this city,
was made the victim Of a clever con-
lidence game a few days ago. which has
Just come to light. Beck has been in
poor health and unable to look after his
numerous interests. His sons have
taken the active management of the
farm since the infirmities of the father
have made it necessary. Local physi-
clans have been called in for treatment,
but without the desired results. Last
week man driving top buggy
stopped at the Beck home and intro
duced himself as DR.. Billiard, OF Des
Moines, and the woman who accom-
panied him as his wife. He manifested
deep interest in Mr.. Beck's case and
lost no time in winning the confidence
OF the unsuspecting farmer. Before he
left the house he succeeded in securing
contract in which he agreed to fur
nish the necessary medicines to effect a
permanent cure for his ailments. He
was paid $50 In money and given a note
for $23 more. Beck waited several days
for the arrival OF the medicine. but at
last came TO the conclusion that he had
been made the victim OF a confidence
man. Further. investigation brings to
light the fact that several others south
west OF Duncombe have been taken IN
by the same game.

Merely a Whole in the WALL

Oskaloosa. April 24-Even after the
board of supervisors declared that the
petition of consent Was sufficient. con-
sternation stared Ed o. Brien in the face,
and for while it looked as tho his sa-
loon would not be opened. The trouble
all came about thru the action of the
owner OF the property, Pat Hughes.
When Carl Shuerman bought the prop
erty adjoining Hughes and started TO
build a blacksmith shop thereon Hughes
tried to stop him by threats. by appeals
| to the city council and by injunctions.
Shuerman continued the even tenor Of
his way, fought all the proceedings to a
finnish and came out on top with an up-
to-date smithy. The proverbiai lane at
last reached a turning and Hughes
found ii necessary to have Carl Shuer-
mans name attached to a consent petit
ton or no saloon in his building. Carl
was willing to forgive, but he could not
forget, and he absolutely refused to sign
the petition. No amount of coaxirg or
bluffing could move the blacksmith. He
had put his foot down and it was there
to stay. Wriggling in their dilemma the
saloon men caught thought on the fly
and the idea 1t Matched is now being put
into execution. BY making the saloon
only ten feet wide the bar would be fif-
ty feet away from Shuerman's shop and
refusal to sign would not avail. Hence
a force Of carpenters and the necessary
material We're secured and soon the la :
ger and other drinks Will be flowing
over the bar.

Geneva. April 24.-There was a lively
time at the business session Of the dis
trict conference here Monday after
noon. The trial Of Rev. q. w. Fee, a
local exhorter Of Toledo. which was re-
ferred from the general conference.
came up for discussion. Rev. Fee is
charged with getting the best end Of a
land deal in which q widow lady resid-
ing ut Toledo Is interested. At the gem
eral conference 1t was decided that as
Rev. Fee was not q member of that
body the matter must be settled by the
district conference. Rev. Fee was not
present in person and there was a va
riety OF opinions as to whether his trial
should go on or not. Finally the mat
ter was referred to committee OF
twelve to decide what action should be
taken. The fact that the accused has
subsequently united with another
church makes the matter still more
complicated.
