1t Overtakes the Amboy Farmers Eie-
vator Company.
Meeting of Stockholders Held This A.
ternoon to Take Action.
Assessment of One Hundred Per Cent
May Be Made.
Trouble of Company Dates Back to a
Stored Grain Debt.
From Fridays Daily.

The Amboy Elevator company is fnan-
cially embarrassed, and meeting of the
stockholders was held there this after
noon to decide whether to continue in
business or to close up the affairs of the
concern The stockholders number seven
ty-fve farmers and business men of
Amboy.
The company has been doing general
elevator business for the past four or
five years, and is got into deep water
financially early in its existence by ac-
cumulating a large stored grain debt.
Financial assistance was secured, and it
was able to keep on its feet until now.
In order to close up it's affairs and pay
it's debts dollar for dollar, it will be
necessary for the company to assess the
double liability upon the stockholders,
so that each member will be assessed an
amount equal to the stock which he pos
assesses. 1t is thought that this will be
what will be done, and it is thought to
be likely that the company will wind up
its affairs, although it may not do so.
w. E. Young went to Amboy today to
attend the meeting of stockholders at the
request of the management of the COM
pany.
1t is to be regretted that the company
has gotten into financial straits, as an
assessment will undoubtedly be hard
ship on some of the stockholders. The
| amount of the liabilities could not be OBJ
tanned today.

sort was persuaded to try a set Of the
Cuticura remedies, and to my great
delight a marked change was mani
tested from the first application. I
gave the child bath with Cuticura
Soap, using a soft piece Of muslin cloth.
This I did twice day, each time fol-
lowing with the Cuticura Ointment,
and at the same time gave the Resol-
vent, according to directions. One box
of the Ointment and two bottles of the
Resolyent, together with the Soap,

A. N. DRAKE MISSING.
Former MankatO Man Lost in The
WiIds of Oregon.

From Fridays Daily.
The many friends of Mr. A. n Drake,
formerly of this place, will be panied to
learn that he was lost in the mountains
of Oregon, on the 18th of last month,
and at last accounts had not been found
Mr.. Drake was for time engineer in
the Mapleton mills and during his resi-
dence at this place made many friends
by his gentlemanly ways. He was
skillful engineer and it was with regret
that the mill parted with his services
He and his estimable wife left last May
to make their future home in Oregon.
While here he was associated with the
Masons and Odd Fellows.
The Evening Review, of Roseburg, Ore
gon says that Mr.. Drake, who was liv
ing near Glendale that state, in the To-
cality known as Dadds Creek, left home
on Monday morning, Jan. Is, for little
hunt while the snow was on, telling his
wife as he left he would return shortly
after noon, but as night came on he fail
ING to return Mrs. Drake went to near
neighbor's and told them she feared
something had happened 10 him. The
ground he expected to cover that day
being familiar to him and he having an
! objective point in view, he wished to
make, Mrs. Drake did not become seri-
ously alarmed until Tuesday about noon,
, at which time she started to give gen
eral alarm. Although diligent search
has been made, so far it has been with
| fruitless results. The search will be con-
| tinued until he is found. Mr.. Drake
! was member in good standing of the
| A. F. and A. NJ, also the I. o. o. F. He
and his wife came west less than one
| year ago from Minnesota, locating on a
homestead in the vicinity where he dis
appeared.
Mrs. G. F. Krogel, brotherin-law of
Mr.. Drake, spent three days the past
week in search for the missing man and
will return again tonight with another
party of searchers to examine the coun-
try more thoroughly, fall of snow last
Tuesday having obliterated all tracks
The same paper says that Mrs. Drake
is now at the home of her brother at
Dixonville and is almost prostrated with
grief, physician being in attendance.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs
Drake in this county, their old home.
will be eager to learn further particulars
of this distressing occurrence .-Mapleton

State Board of Control Is Taking
Interest in JaiIs.
Condition OF the BastiIes Has Improved
Materially of Late.
Humorous Reports Received From VII
lage Police Officers.
"calaboose" Where Bedding Has Not
Changed for Years.
From Fridays Daily.

From Frldays Daliy.
d. A. Lindsey, agent of the state board
of control, has sent circulars to authori-
ties in charge of lockups of the state call
ing their attention to the law requiring
them to keep the lockups in a sanitary
register containing the names of the
prisoners.
There are 450 lockups in the state,
and all those that are unfit for use or
unsafe from lack of fire escape facili-
ties will be condemned.
The general condition of the jails,
lockups and poorhouses of the state has
improved greatly since they were brought
under the supervision of the old state
board of charities and later the board OF
control, but according to reports of
health officers received by the board,
several of the lockups are still in bad
condition. The board aims to remove
these defects as rapidly as possible,
without being too arbitrary in the en-
forcement of the law.
Many humorous reports have been re-
ceived by the board regarding the condi-
tion of lockups. Ip answer to a ques-
tion as to what fire escape facilities the
lookup has the health officer writes:
'We's got door that is generally
open. Only tramps sleep here, anyway,
and if they are too lazy to run out when
there is fire they can burn up"
Another answers a question as to
how aften the bedding is changed as
follows:
'The lookup has been here eleven
years, and as far as L know the bedding
has not been changed yet"
Another describes the facilities for
ventilation as follows:
There are two windows, one door and
several cracks. just now we get lit
tie too much ventilation"
The circular sent out follows:
1t shall be the duty of the chief OF
police, or the village marshal, as the
case may be, to see that the lookup and
the bedding therein is kept at all times
clean, wholesome and free from vermin.
1t shall be his duty to cause the lock-
up to be swept daily and thoroughly
cleansed with water at least once in two
weeks, unless it is unoccupied.
1t shall be unlawful to keep male and
female prisoners in the same room OF to
keep insane persons, or children under
sixteen years of age, in the same room
with other prisoners. So far as prac
ticable each prisoner shall be kept in g
separate cell.
1t shall be the duty of the chief oi
police or the village marshal, as the cast
may be, to keep true and exact register
of all prisoners committed to the lookup
and all persons admitted to the Lookup
as dodgers in such form as the state
board of corrections and charities may
prescribe, and the same shall be kept =
