So Thinks Supervisor G. F. Ar
ney, a Cousin of the Fergu-
son Suicide
FATHER DOESN'T KNOW OF THEM
Mr.. Arney Doe. Not Think His Uncle
Will Be Inclined to Square UP Mat
ter.-would Have to Sell Property
to Do it-Dead Man Had Worried
a Great Deal.

It is very likely that the future deVel-
cpments in the sensational Elmer s.
Arney suicide will prove that all Of the
paper held by banks and other parties,
sold by the man who took his life when
he knew that arrest was sure to come,
E. Arney, Of Albion, chairman Of the
board of supervisors, and cousin OF
the dead man, is of this opinion, and
says that the probabilities are that
his uncle, William Arney. father of the
suicide, knows nothing of the notes, on
which his name appears as surety.
While Mr.. Arney regrets the crime as
much as anyone, and is panied to
think that such tragic end should
come to his cousin, he says the damage
Is done, and there is no use trying to
cover up the facts. Mr.. Arney does not
think that his uncle will be inclined to
take UP the paper on which his naine
has been forged, because he has been
perfectly innocent of any wrong doing.
Mr.. Arney said that VI his uncle did
consent to make good all the paper
that is outstanding, he would have to
mortgage or sell his farm, as he has
not sufficient amount of ready cash
on hand. While Mr.. Arney is worth
between $4,000 and $4,000. his mold
ings are largely in real property.
MI. Arney does not think his cousin
lost on the board Of trade, but rather
because of Encouragement of his bus
fDn Ind
easy going to make a successful bust
ness man, and lost a good deal While
conducting his store near Albion. Peo-
pie traded with him who never intended
10 pay, and would go miles out OF their
way to his store, knowing his gener-
Gus spirit and that they would not be
pressed for collections.
Elmer Arney had been worrying
great deal for some time, and was con-
stantly figuring seeming to attempt a
solution OF the terrible problem that
was confronting him. His wife says
that she has noticed this. and in many
ways her husband had not seemed
himself for some time. He would get
up in the middle of the night and
commence figuring. sitting up some
times for hours at a time. She thinks
that he became so worried over the
outcome that he knew to be inevitapies
that he was insane when he committed
the deed of self destruction.
The body of the dead man was
brought to this city from Ferguson
overland and was taken to Albion on
the evening train Friday. The remains
were accompanied by Mrs. Arney and
children, Lemuel Ffscus, Wilkie w.
Arney and c. e. Arney. of Albion. The
funeral wil4be conductedfrom the Old
Bethel church Sunday morning at
1890, Rev. d. w. Thompson, of Lee
Grand, officiating. The interment Will
be in the church burying ground.

James O'Neill in 1.-The Manxman"-

evening. One would naturally think

Mr.. O'Neill, perhaps has not made the
wisest selection for this seasons work,

perior in many ways to the majority
of his stories. There is that same PEE
culiar style, and the same dealings with
the gloomy side Of life. that do not
strike a popular chord. MIR. O'Neill's
Pete Quilliam, the honest and true
hearted young Irishman, who loved aud

MAKING AN ATHLETE.
Proper Food the Most Important Re
ouisite

Qul61te.
Most health or i'll health comes from
the stomach, depending upon how 1t
is fed. The athlete is very dependent
upon the proper food. An athlete Of
Muncie, Ind, writes: "From a frail,
sickly college student of scarcely six
score pounds, the pure food Grape Nuts
has brought me, through persistent
conscientious use, to a vigorous young
athlete tipping the beam at 1872 pounds.
For two years the food has been to my
stomach what pure air Is to the lungs
a source of vigor, health and vitality.
Having always been a great reader,
frequently while at school missed my
meals that I might devote my time to
a fayorite book, or else l hurried thru
the meal. This irregularity. Commission
and hurrying, together with the close
application to study, finally told on my
health until I was forced to .eave
school. 1 must have been in truly
pitable condition from what my friends
have since told me. although at the
time am sure 1 did not half realize
the seriousness of my case. My par
ents decided to send me on trip to
Southern California.
ION the train l maze lne acqudln-
lance of a Mr.. Messenger, wholesale
grocer of Chicago, who was interested
in my case. He heard my story and
advised me to try Grape Nuts, food
greatly relished by his own family.
From what he told me of the food !
Ionged to try it. but l did not expect
to find it beyond the Rocky Mountains.
To my surprise on arriving at Los An
geles / noticed box of Grape on
my aunts sideboard. That marked the
beginning of my health and comfort.
Since then / have come to look upon
the food Grape Nuts as a synonym for

regular Use OF Jyomel cures MOST

No other medicine gives such prompt
relief as Hyomei in the treatment of
catarrh.
This first breath OF this remedy
soothes and heals the irritated and
smarting air passages, and the regular
use for a few days or weeks will cure
the most stubborn case. Some of the
reports from thoSe who have been cured
OF catarrh by Hyomei read like mira
cles.
John s. Gray, Of Richmond Hills, Pa.
writes: 81 am 50 years old and have
been sufferer with catarrh in the
head for twenty five or thirty years. !
have doctored with many specialists
and they all told me that the disease
was incurable on account of my age.
After using Hyomei a short time l was
greatly benefited and can now say that
/ am entirely cured. il has been six
months since I stopped using the rem
edy and still remain cured"
In nearly every town and village OF
the country can be found those who
have been cured Of catarrh by Hyomei.
In Marshalltown there are probably
over thousand people whose health
has been restored by this remarkable
treatment.
Mcbride & Will sold package after
package and every one has been with a
personal guarantee to refund the money
II it did not cure. Only two outfits have
been returned and in each instance the
money was paid back without question.
You run no risk whatever in buying
Hyomei and your word decides the
question as to whether you pay for the
remedy or not.
Can you afford to suffer longer with
catarrh when you can guy a guaran-
teed treatment on this plan?

LOCAL COMMENT.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

II Is a matter Of civic pride to a
community to find itself able to give
such musical organization as the
Thomas Orchestra the reception that
it received in Marshalltown. The sue
cess Of the event was unlimited and to
those few daring spirits who accepted
the responsibility Of the undertaking
are due the thanks of the entire town.
In this respect no one man deserves
credit for his assistance more than
Secretary Fellingham, of the X. X. y.
M. c. A. 1t was he who led IN the
undertaking and after assuming great
responsibility for the outcome, securing
sufficient guarantees to provide against
loss and so skillfully arousing enthusi-
asm in surrounding towns that the
opera house was packed, he turned his
attention to securing accommodations
for the sixty performers in the boarding
houses and private homes of the city
because our one large hotel was I'M
able to accommodate company of that
size in addition to it's regular daily grist
OF transient guests. Fellingham is a
man who is struggling at his task of
building up Y. M. c. A. organization
in Marshalltown while he carries
around in his pocket offers from larger
societies that would reward him far
more handsomely for his efforts, and
he does it because he loves Marshall-
town and believes in it's future. No
more conscientious, industrious or
practical Christian worker ever con-
tributed to the welfare of this city than
this modest, unassuming but deter
mined young man and the T.-R. is
pleased to see him receive the support
of the local public in his efforts. He
deserves it for he is striving to serve
the public at the sacrifice of self-inter-
ests and is doing it in business-like
way.
The troubles that beset the recep-
ton committee in providing accommo-
dalton for a party of sixty should at
tract the attention of local capitalists
to the woeful need of another hotel IN
this city. If one first class house could
do all the hotel business of the city this
newspaper would never speak out pub
licly for competitor to another mans
business but such action as recently
taken by the Woman's Club, such ex-
periences as that with the orchestra
troupe and the well-known fact among
business men that hundreds of the
travelling public are constantly passing
by and thru this city to seek hotel
accommodations in neighboring towns
should convince the most careless OBJ
server that another good. sized hotel
is needed in Marshalltown.
Now that the spring elections are
over. and politics q thing Of the past
