CRUSADE AGAINST cleAREr.
County Teachers Take Hand in Sup
pressing the Evil.
Special TO Times Replfblfcan

Villisca, Jan. "A crusade against
the deadly cigaret has been declared in
Montgomery county. and particular
vigor has been put into the conflict
in Villisca. AT the county teachers
meeting held here a few days ago this
evil was thoroughly discussed and
steps taken to suppress it. That re-
suits have been forthcoming is plainly
shown by the devotees failing to Sc
cure Il single paper where they were
formerly to he had. Since the edict
has gone forth. thousands upon thou
sands of the pernicious little tissue
squares have gone up In smoke. but in
a different way than they were intend
ed to go. The habit has reached an
alarming degree among youths in this
section. and any person dealing in any
manner in cigaret papers will be prose-
cuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Every business man in Villisca that
handles tobacco has agreed to co-op-s
crate in the eradication of the harm-
full cigaret papers by not having
single one about his place of business.

George Jeroleman of Cedar
Rapids, Leaves Strange
Letter and Disappears
MAY BE TEMPORARILY INSANE
No Other Motive Is known for Jerole-
mans Wish to pie-said He Would
Drown Himself and Asked to Be
Buried in plain Pine Coffin at Least
Expense Possible.

Cedar Rapids, Jan. At am going
10 drown myself Have selected a
place south of the packing house. Bury
me In a plain pine box at the least ex-
pense possible" This is the text of
letter left his family by George Jerole-
man, $40 East Lake court. There Is
not the slightest clue except the let
ter, as to his whereabouts. There, is
no trace of his having ended his life
as the letter would indicate. The po-
lice were notified of the affair yester-
day noon and party will search Tor
the body, but it is believed that Jeroie-
man. did not take his life. but has tenn
porarily disappeared while under
spell of mental alteration.
Jeroleman was last seen by his FAM
lily Wednesday night at S:A5. With
them he had been attending prayer
meeting at the First Baptist church.
He told his family that he was going
20 attend meeting of the painters and
paper hangers, union. There was n
meeting that night, however, as II was
the fifth Wednesday OF the month.
From the time he left the church
up to the present hour Jerolemans
disappearance is completely enveloped
In mystery. That he is temporarily
deranged Is thought to be beyond all
doubt. About year ago he was Sc
yerely injured on the head and at Dbl
ferent times since has acted strangely
and complained OF terrible pains.
The theory that he left the city by
train Is not credited. as he did not
have money in his pockets when ne
left home. In his letter to his family
Jeroleman says that he was not earn
ine anything and makes frequent ref
erence to his insurance money. he
says that his little daughter is young
ana may forget her fathers rash act.
was this the motive for the apparent
desire OF Jeroieman to take his life!
Time alone will solve the mystery.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Jeroleman
came here from Minneapolis about
two weeks ago. He was we'll known in
Iowa City, having worked there at
his trade.
