A STRANGE CASE
Woman Taken From Train at Cedar
Rapids Suffering From Hysteria-
Her Mind Thought to Be UnbaI-
anced,

Special to Times Re publican.
Cedar Rapids, Feb. 27.-Sobbing and
writing in hysteria. Mrs. Bertha
Schoonmaker of Thomas, Oklahoma,
has been confined at police headQuar-
tiers since II o'clock last night, when
she was removed from the Milwaukee
Kansas City passenger due at 11:52
was approaching the city. She was err
route to Center Point to visit her
sister, Mrs. Minnie Ward, wife of Sam
Ward, who is city marshal of that place.
but was not expected by either of
the latter There are some circum-
are unexplained. While Mrs. Schoon-
maker is rational at times while un-
der the influence of opiates, she can
give no connected account of her
travels and does not know the date
when she left home nor where she
was last Sunday. A physician was
summoned after she was taken to
the station. For several hours this
morning she suffered from hysteria.
While in that condition she contin-
ually moaned and cried out, oh,
Henry; oh, Henry and Bertha
didn't do it." Whether these ex-
clamations possess any significance
can not be determined. AS she does
not know when she left home her
attack of dementia on the train was
not the first she had experienced.
Mrs. Schoonmaker bears a striking
resemblance to a young boy. Her
hair is cut close and she was rather
poorly attired. She is fine of feature
and small of figure. She said she
left three children at home the
Youngest being an infant. She had a
check for trunk and IS in money
in her satchel Marshal Kozlovsky
notified the marshal Of Center Point,
who happened to be relative OF the
unfortunate woman and he arrived on
the 1920 trair. and conveyed her To
his home. She now appears TO be In
u state Of composure. Ward said she
was not expected at Center Point and
is inclined TO believe that she may
have been sent away by her husband
for some reason or another.

The interstate Livestock Fair asso-
citation will give fair in Sioux City
next autumn that will probably cost
$4,000. This is the figure which will
likely be favored as result of the
meeting of the directors at the Com
mercial Club Tuesday afternoon: To
pay this expense by gate receipts
alone would require 10000 paid admis-
sions during the week. The directors
think that an attendance for the week
OF $4,000 to $1,000 would be a modest
demand. A date for the fair will be
chosen some time this week. 1t now
seems likely that the week of August
2l-September will be chosen.

Maytag Not in the Fight.

Special to Times RepubIican.
Newton, Feb. 27.-The reports pub
lished in the Capital and Register
Leader that Senator Fred l.. Maytag
is leading a municipal fight for the
control OF the city electric lighting
plant and water works, is entirely
without foundation. The article also
stated that a ticket had been placed
in the field by the republicans. This
is not correct. The coming election
will no doubt be very warm one,
but as yet no tickets have been placed
in the field and Senator Maytag, so far
as is known, has taken no active part
in the campaign.

always from bad to worse. The simple
cold becomes protracted, stubborn one,
while the discharge from the nose grows
more profuse and offensive. The infam-

sensation and an aggravating cough.
