A FARMER DISAPPEARS
Grant ". wilkey Missing From
His Home and His Where.
abouts Unknown.
Accompanied the Excursionists
to Boone Monday and
Failed to Return.
Financial Embarrassment Sup
posed to Be the Reason for
His Disappearance.

The placing of several attachments on
the personal property Of Grant w. Will
key, young farmer residing just west
of the city on the James Andrews place,
has developed the fact that Wilkey is
mysteriously missing and his wherea-
bouts are known to neither his family
nor friends.
Wilkey went to Boone Monday on the
Red Mems excursionsand was seen by
friends there on that day. He did not
return to the city, however, with the
excursionists. and when his continued
absence became known several credit
ors secured attachments against his
property and there threatens to be sew
eral interesting contests over the pos
session of the same and the preference
the various creditors shall secure.
Wilkey has wife and two children,
and they are very much disturbed over
his continued absence. He is about 40
years of age and is a member of a WELL
known family of the western portion of
the county. He formerly resided near
State Center. later engaged in farming
near Melbourne, but for some time has
been tenant on the Andrews farm
which is located west of the Soldiers
Home, adjacent to the line of the Iowa
Central.
The only reason assigned for Wilkey' S
disappearance is that he has become
financially embarrassed and took this
means of escaping from his monetary
obligations.

the Hands Of One Of His
ASSISTANTS.

Salvatore ClauA, young son of IT.
ally. who has been employed asia labor
er by the Iowa Central, and has been a
member Of Foreman John Lanes extra
gang, at Hampton, was held UP by hobo
railroad graders in the east yards of
!; this city Thursday evening about 5
o'clock. and robbed Of all his money, $50,
and his pass to Peoria, Ill. Clausi had
quit work at Hampton and intended
leaving this city early this morning for
Chicago, via Peoria. He drew what was
coming to him, $45.75, yesterday fore
noon, at the First National Bank, and
started out to spend little of it. He
visited two or three saloons in the so,fh
part of the city and in them met the
usual number of railroad graders. fa-
miliarly termed "hobos," who were
! hangers on and looking for just such
prey as him. Clausl showed his roll,
and before he knew 1t he was pretty
we'll filled up with beer and invited to
take a walk. Three men accompanied
him, and when conveniently distant
from any passers by the young Italian
y was ordered to turn over all his cash.
Clausi made an attempt to defend him
self, and was cut across. the hand with
a knife, three fingers being slit. He was
then choked, hts throat showing very
plainly the finger printr OF his adver-
saries when he Informed Officer Weaver
of the circumstance. Officer Clark and
Officer Weaver both made an attempt
to find the Italians assistant, but to
no avail. watch Worn by Clausl was
not taken.
4. Frank Serafino, the contracting agent
who has furnished the Italian laborers
ITO the three roads here, stopped over in
the city this morning While en- route to
Albert Lea, to see Clausl and see if he
could assist him in any way. Clausi can
talk but little English, and it was hard
Tor the police to get an accurate de-
sscrfption of the men who robbed him.

AWARDED THE CONTRACT.
Cream of Patent Flour. WiWlI Be Used
at Soldiers Home and Industrial

school.
II. j. Benson, proprietor of the Mar
shalltown Mills. has received word that
the contract for furnishing the supply
of flour for the Soldiers Home in this
city and the Industrial school at Eldora,
for the period of one year, has been
awarded him by the board of control of
the state institutions. Mr. Benson sub
mitted to the board with his PROPOSE
ton, samples of his celebrated Cream of
Patent flour. and after careful c5nsid-
GRAFTON Cream of Patent was selected
by the expert, which is certainly high
compliment for Mr.. Benson. The COM
petition for the contract was not con-
fined to Iowa millers, but was open to
those of Minnesota and Kansas as we'll,
and it was also understood that none
but winter wheat flour would be con-
sidered. Mr.. Benson has expended large
sums of money in equipping his mill
with all the latest Improved machin-
cry; he buys only the best hard wheat,
consequently is in a position to Snake
equally as good flour as any miller in
the United States, and the fact that he
was awarded the contract for furnish
ing flour to two Of the largest state in
Stitutions proves it.

THE SUCKER FISH.
How These Strange Creatures Attnch
Ihemselyes to Larger Fish.

People of certain temperament some
times attain their wishes by hanging to
the skirts of persons of larger capacity.
In the fish world these find their coun-
terpart in the remora family 1.-THE suck
ersl. which is represented on the Atlantic
coast by FIVE species. In these fishes the
first dorsal fin. e., the fin on the back
nearest the heads transformed for all
practical purposes into sucking organ,
by means of which they can attach them
selves very firmly to the gill covers or
sides of larger fish. Thus there are the
shark sucker, the swordfish sucker, the
bi!lfish sucker, etc. Being excellent
swimmers, it is difficult to see why they
prefer to go through life as an appendage
and burden to others, but it is well
known that they travel with sharks con-
tinuously in this manner, and their hosts
have actually been found emaciated and
exhausted from carrying about their I'm.
/ invited guests.
An eminent observer Of fishes has
thought it very probable that the object
Of the suckers is to share the fragments
of food with their hosts but whatever
the cause the latter are surely entitled to
our sympathy 1t happens, however, that
this very propensity for hanging on has
recoiled on the sucker much to his disad-
vantage, for us soon as man discovered
this popularity he cudgeled his brain for
some practical application which would
rebound to his own advantage, and. be-
ing himself perhaps a Hanger on" to
other people, some resourceful individual
conceived the idea of using this fish as a
bait and make him do the catching. In
Ogilby's "America" occurs the following
description of how the Indians of long
ago used these fishes to aid in the cap
ture of others:
columbus from hence proceeding on
| further westward discovered fruitful
Coast, yersing the Mouth of River,
whose Water runs Boyling into the Sea.
Somewhat further he saw very strange
Fishes, especially of the Guiacan, not I'M
like an Eel, but with an extraordinary
great Head, over which hangs Skin like
Bag. This Fish is the Natives Fisher;
for, having Line or handsom cord fas-
tened about him, so soon as Turtel, or
any other of his Prey, comes above wa.
ter. they give him Line; whereupon che
Guiacan, like an Arrow out Of Bowe,
shoots toward the other Fish, and then
gathering the Mouth of the Bag on his
! Head like Purse-net, holds them SO
fast. that he let not loose till hal'd up out

COLONEL PARSONS GREAT RIDE.
The Feat Was such That General
Meade would Not HelfavesIt.

Colonel n. Bloss Parsons of New York
was brevetted general for distinguished
service during the war, but characteristic
modesty forbade the use Of that title
when he returned to civilian life. Not
only did he perform the only Authentic
feat of decapitation during the civil war,
but he was the hero of remarkable ride.
A few days before the battle of Gettys-
burg was fought General Meade had an
important message to send to General
Harding. 100 miles distant. AS the route
was through country swarming with
rebels, the message was written on tissue
paper, that it might be swallowed in case
the carrier was captured. The COM
mander was in doubt regarding suitable
messenger He summoned General Davis
to headquarters.
General, who is the hardest rider as
well MS the most trustworthy man in the
service" asked Meade.
Colonel Parsons, sir" was the prompt
reply.
"Send him to me at once"
1t was G o'clock on Monday night
when General Meade gave the young Of
fcer his instructions. He was to ride
with all haste to General Harding's head.
quarters and return at once with an, an.
swer.
The messenger retired. Two hundred
miles were to be covered. The roads
were heavy, and they led through the en-
emy's country.
Exactly at noon the following day Colo.
mel Parsons entered General Meade's
tent. The latter's face grew purple with
rage, and he ripped ont a string of oaths.

thundered. what are you hanging

YOUR TEETH.

Without good teeth there cannot be
good mastication.
Without thorough mastication there
cannot be perfect digestion, and poor
health results.
Hence the paramount Importance Of
sound teeth.
Clean teeth do not decay.
The Importance of sound first set Of
teeth is as great to- the child as a sound
second set is to the adult.
Children should be taught to use the
toothbrush early.
Food left on the teeth ferments, and the
acid formed produces decay.
Decay leads in time to pain and the
total destruction of the tooth.
The substance of the following rules
should therefore be impressed constantly
upon all children:
/. The teeth should be cleansed at least
once daily.
2. The best time to clean the teeth is
after the last meal.
3. A small toothbrush with stiff bristles
should be used, brushing up and down
and across and inside and outside and in
between the teeth.
4. A simple tooth powder or little soap
and some precipitated chalk taken up on
the brush may be used il the teeth are
dirty or stained.
SIT is good practice to rinse the
mouth out after every meal.
6. All rough usage OF the teeth, such as
cracking nuts, biting thread, etc, should
be avoided, but the proper use of the
teeth In chewing is good for them.
When decay occurs, it should be at
tended to long before any pain results.
1t is stopping of a small cavity that is Of
the greatest SERVICE Motherhood.
