FROM MRS. THORPE.
Report on the Relief Work of Her
Department.

At the station we have been doing
whatever work came to Us during the
the flood, connecting our work as close
~ as possible with the relief committee
plans, and have zept-in touch with all
the relief stations by telephone The
ladies of the ArnlRry Industrial school
and others OF exp erienee, have given
constant help. We have kept coffee
and ready meals for workers. as we'll as
dry clothing continually. We have
clothed over 40 babies, and found homes
and work for about IS people Have
sheltered many until they found rooms
elsewhere, and have provided meals fo2
very many sheltered in rooms near. [
am personally acquainted with nine
tenths of the applicants, and those who
were strangers were introduced by peo-
PIE we'll known TO us, SO we have had
but few cases of grafters.
One family, fitted out generously the
first day, furnished d room and stove
and bedding and provisions to last , or
days. were in the next day barefooted
and ragged again. and were sent away
That afternoon they were pitifully pos
ing as starving beggars in the front
rows at other stations. Meanwhile the
man of the family was earning his
usual wages every day at his work.
Very many worthiest families have
been fitted up in rooms with all neces-
sary things who would not take the
help except as loan. This is the salts
flying and blessed work which overbal-
ances the annoyance of impostures- The
workers can never forget an impoStef

listed once The donations have been
generous and constant. The out of town
donations received to date are:

Waterloo, March 31.--The clairvoy.
ants, DR.. and Mrs. Lawrence, who
swindled Nick Ternes, A farmer resid-
ing near Jesup. out of a large sum OF
money. are said to have been located in
Indiana and Ternes, 1t is said, will
have them arrested and brought back
here for trial.
According to Ternes' statement he
has himself been working on the case
ever since the disappearance Of the
couple and has had competent detec-
tives employed also. A few days ago
according to Mr.. Ternes' statement, one
of his detectives succeeded In locating
the doctor in the east, and the officer
states that he has also good reason to
believe that Mrs. Lawrence is living in
the same state. He says he intends to
send an officer from this county to In
diana to secure the couple and as soon
as requisition papers can be secured
will bring them back to Waterloo to
stand trial for their offense.
A story appeared in an Indiana pa
per few weeks ago of d swindle per-
petrated at Evansville in which a farm
Ell was relieved of considerable cash in
exactly the same manner that Ternes
was in this city. 1t was believed then
that the same couple We're operating In
Indiana, and If the discovery of Ternes
turns out in the manner indicated by
him, DIR. and Mrs. Lawrence will soon
return to this city to stand trial.
