CRIME OF INCEST CHARGED.
John WirtZ, Living Near Benton Is
Arrested on the Charge of Incest

John Writ, who lives near Benton, is
occupying cell in the county jail. The
crime for which he was arrested and
placed in jail is incest. County Attorney
Fuller received word Monday from j. r.
Haviland, a justice Of the peace at Ben
ton, that Wirtz was charged with this
crime, and had been arrested by the
township constable. H. A. Fuller and
A. 1. Smith went to Benton Monday to
have the preliminary hearing before
Squire Haviland. The hearing resulted
in Wirtz being bound over to the grand
jury in the sum of three hundred dol
lars.
The woman in the case is Laura Dill
lon, who is Wirtz' stepdaughter. This
is not the first time that Wirtz has been
in the clutches of the law. He was in
dicted in this county several years ago
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, and on conviction served term
in the penitentiary. The name of Miss
Dillon has also appeared on the court
docket. John Golf, of Redding, is now
serving term in the penitentiary at
Ft. Madison, for an attempted rape on
the person Of this same Miss Dillon.
The Golf case is of more recent date,
and he had his friends at the time of the
trial who thought a penitentiary SEN
tence was rather severe on him, when
all of the circumstances were taken in
to consideration.-Mt. Ayr Record.

cessfully worked in the country around

with large coop tied on behind his

to exchange mop for four hens. We
understand the mop is worth about 25
cents. However, the agent will put no
price on it, but wants four hens for the
same. 1t costs nothing to raise the
hens, etc., and in most cases four choice
fowls are run down and converted to

Washington township, still lives and in
fact is not badly hurt. His escape, how

when the man at the receiving end let
the hay fork slip from his hands, and
Mr.. Newton looked up in time to re-
ceive the fork in his face just below the

cheek so that the point came out in his
mouth. The fork was quickly extracted
and the wound dressed, and no serious

Recent Appliances Used In the Science
Geodesy.
The science of geodeSy Is making
rapid strides along the line Of accur-
acy and there Is not much left TO be
perfected In the way of method, says
the Philadelphia Record. The all-im-
portant problem Of modern as well as
ancient geOdesy, Of course. is the
measurement of the dimensions of the
earth, which enters into all practical
work OF surveying, navigation and ter
restrlal physics. The International
Geodetc Association several years ago
undertook the problem, the different
nations having agreed to contribute
their share toward an accurate deter
ihlnauon. As has already been record
Ell, the determination was undertaken
In Ecuador in 1901, and extended
from the Colombian to the Peruvian
frontier, and every possible refinement
TO attain the maximum degree of ac-
curacy was adopted. The greatest diff.
! hculty Is to secure an accurate base
line, which Is complicated by so ap-
parently trivial a thing as the expan-
sion of the measuring medium. The
latest refinement in the bar method is
that originated by the United States
coast and geodetic survey, using a sin

an alloy Of 81 per cent steel and SO

This alloy is known as "lnvar" and Is

supported by tripods and stretched by

this alleged wire. -------------------

being-either man or woman. "Riki'
Is In the japanese language, strength.
In combination the words mean 1.-The
strength of one thousand people"
Each one of these one thousand dots

wish or prayer for the safety and pro-
