Sheriff Thiessen was notified and q
systematic search was commenced.
Train No. 5 was searched at Waterloo,
but no trace of the girl could be found.
Thursday morning the girl was found
at Worthen's place, on the fiat east of
Vinton, and the gneral impression is
that young Worthen is the party who
brought her there. Maxwell and Miss
Shelley now tell different stories about
the case and both refuse to tell who the
other party was.
The cause of the girl wanting to
leave home was the fact that she and

Charles MAXWELL, the hired man, to
whom Miss Shelley said goodbye, was
Saturday put in the sweat box and
everything possible was done to find
out what he knew about the girls dis
appearance, but to no avail. The only
thing that could be definitely learned
is that the girl says she was Drought

and she refuses to tell the names of
any of the parties concerned.
Vinton was quite excited over this,
but last Saturday evening the mystery
depend.
Maxwell came into town that day, re-
mained several hours and drove back
home. When he went into the house he
exclaimed:
II have been poisoned"
Hardly had the words escaped his
lips when he fell to the floor and went
into convulsions. Physicians were at
once summoned. and at q late hour were
still working over him. They have but
very little hope that he will survive.
In his lucid intervals every effort has
been made to learn where he got the
poison, who gave 1t to him and what
kind of poison it was, but the only re-
sponse that has passed his lips is
..Some one in yinton gave me poison.
He has been unconscious for some
time and his life hangs by slender
thread. And the whole case would seem

county convention who was there tc
openly protest against Cunmins becom-
Ing governor of Iowa. Dozens of the
lawyers of the city We're there to speak
for Cummins. The only lawyer who OPP
posed Cummns took his seat on the dis
trict bench in Polk county this morning
and will be a judge for about eleven
months. Such is politics.
The recommendations of Inspector
Omsted in regard to The Iowa National
Guard. in his annual report. are de-
cidedly radical, and in no one thing
more SO than in regard to the officers.
He wants mounted officers to be re-
quired to do actual drill work in camp
every day. This would be an innova-
ton. He would have the officers do more
study and be better prepared to COM
mand. This seems reasonable. He
would have the adjutant general to be
supreme in command in all camps. AT
present the actual management of
camps devolves on the senior regimental
commander. There is some question
whether an adjutant general is better
fitted for the detail work of the camps
than the commanders of regiments. but
it would certainly fix responsibility If
Col Olmsteds recommendations were
carried out Col. Olmsted also recon-
mends that the commander-in-chlef
confine the selection of his staff and
aides to officers of the guard who have
heen conspicuous for efficient service in
the line. Already Mr.. Cummins has Sc
selected his staff officers of this kind. IT
is probable that the aides VIII also be
men of the guard who have seen serV-
Ice. Such an arrangement could not
hut be beneficial to the guard. 1t Is
known that Mr.. Cummins is in entire
sympathy with the reforms suggested
and that during his term he will do all
in his power TO make the guard more
efficient. His work will be in the direc-
ton of looping off the ornamental ana
advancing the useful.

Special to Times Republican.
Newton, Jan. 6.-The officers OF
Jasper county are looking for Robert
NJ. Curry, an alleged bigamist, late a
resident of Sully. A year or so ago a
man calling himself by this name OBJ
tanned a marriage license upon what
is alleged to be a false affidavit and
married Miss Iona Lamphier. daughter
of II. L. Winget. Ugly rumors began
to float about in which he figured as the
husband of a woman residing in Penn
sylyania and the father of several chill
dren. Interested parties sent a letter
to the address given and the sheriff
said that Curry was married and the
father of several children. The pho
tograph of the gentleman was sent
and identified. But the parties refused
to come to Iowa to prosecute the case.
When Curry heard what was up he left
the state for his health. Proceedings
have been commenced to annul the
marriage and If Curry can be found
it is thought the wife will prosecute
an action for bigamy.
