able excitement, in some circles con-
corning the recent smallpox case. AL
tho the buildings occupied We're
promptly fumigated still there are some
skeptics who would prefer to stay away
from them until further developments.
Mr.. and Mrs. CARRIER, who are now in
the detention hospital were not for

sumptuous dinner was sent down from
the Chaplin house and everything made
as pleasant for them as possible.
AS an example of how well the ordi-

into the new bowling alley and pre-
pared to run up a. score Of 900 ON short

the bowling club and so he was politely
informed that he must get out or join
the club before he played his first game.
So are our ordinaces greatly admired

Man Well known in Central

Des Moines, Nov. 29.-P. Stephen
Harris, well known in central Iowa,
has turned UP again with a new
scheme for getting dollars from other
people. Stephen worked various
schemes in and around Dies Moines un-
til he was confronted with some ugly
looking accusations in court which
compelled him to move to other pas
lures. He had something to do with q
little scheme by which widow, Mrs.
CHAMPION, was induced to part with
valuable business property in Des
Moines, and there was divorce pro-
ceeding between Mr.. and Mrs. Persons
mixed up in the case. incidentally there
was an interesting story told of how
the widow Champion had consulted
trance medium in regard to the kind OF
a person she should have for second
husband. She finally followed Harris
and others to Joplin, Mo-, where she
invested in mines and lost heavily.
Harris was brought here under arrest
for embezzlement, but those who had
suffered failed to carry on the prosecu-
ton to a finish Harris was a young
lawyer, who had been disbarred In Dali
las county.
Harris next turned up in Kansas
City, where he was engaged in selling
jewelry and getting rich. Now comes
another scheme. One S. T. Akers, Of
Van Meter, Iowa, who had lost a leg,
lent himself to the schemes of Harris.
Akers obtained letter Of endorsement
from officers of the Modern Woodmen.
A circular is then sent out In which this
endorsement is used, and with 1t is a
small Woodman badge-an axe-worth
a few cents. Akers asks the recipient
to send % cents or send back the badge.
1t has been discovered by the Woodmen
that the circulars come from firm OF
which p. Stephen Harris is a member,
and Akers in fact runs a hotel in Van
Meter. High officers of the order OF
Modern Woodmen have discovered
what Is being done and that large sums
of money are being made out OF the.
scheme on the superstition that 1t Is
officially endorsed by the lodges. They
have, therefore, sent out circular to
members exposing the scheme. The
Woodmen officials who gave the letter
OF endorsement have requested its re-
turn, but it has not yet been returned.
The officers of the Woodmen at Van
Meter and the head officers in Illinois
