Ames, Sept. 1S.--Grover C. Howard,
a young man nineteen years OF age,
and student at the lowe State Col
lege, died here Saturday evening after
an illness of but u few days, with APP
pendicitis. Howard had not been
we'll for several days before he was
taken seriously ill, and upon consult
ing physicians was advised to have an
operation performed. After the opera
ton he seemed to be getting along
very nicely, and not until a short time
before he died was he considered Dan
gerously sick. All that was in the
power of medical aid was done to save
him but he passed away about 6 o'clock
Saturday evening. He was a new STU
dent here, having entered the fresh
man class about two weeks ago. Ills
home was at Onawa and his father
came Sunday and accompanied the re-
mains to his old home, where they will
be inferred today. This is the first
fatal sickness at the college this term
and it has cast gloom over the entire
school Howard roomed downtown and
was not in the hospital on the campus.

specia; to Tlmes-Republican


Rockwell City, Sept. 1s.--1t is ex-
pected the Pratt murder case will be
taken up by the grand jury, which
convenes here the 2Sth inst. 1t will be
remembered that prominent farmer
named Pratt died very suddenly near
here last spring and that his wife and
the hired man, named Will Persing,
were arrested on suspicion OF having
caused the woman's husbands death
by poisoning. Arsenic was found in
his stomach. Persing Is still in Jail
here, having been unable to secure
bail 1t was alleged by Mrs. Pratt that
Persing was to have been married
some time in July to a girl in a neigh
boring town, and 1t was held that Per-
sing could have had no interest in kill
which was claimed to be the motive
for the supposed crime. Persing did
not marry the girl, however, and no
move. apparently, was made by her
relatives to get bail. Mrs. Pratt's law
yers secured bail for her and her case
will come before the grand jury the
coming term. Much interest is taken
in the case and there seems but little
doubt that the woman and Persing will
be indicted and their trials be held
here at an early date. The state chem
lists report showed Pratt's death was
caused by arsenic and a druggist in
Yetter Is said to have sold the woman
arsenic shortly before his demise.

FROM ALL OVER IOWA
Buffalo Center.

Buffalo Center.
A. B. and DR.. j. F. Russ have a
clay bed on their farm, northwest Of
town, that Is the best of anything
around this country. They have had
the clay examined by experts, who
pronounce 1t of superior quality for
either tile or brick. e. d. Buchanan,
Of Baskerville, has been here looking
it over and is very enthusiastic over
the outlook. He wants to organize a
company at once and commence the
work of making tile Immediately. The
boys have a fine bed of clay there for
making tile and it ought to be seen to
at once that company is organized
and the manufacture of tile commence
ed as soon as possible. The land
throughout this community will use
an immense amount of tile during the
years to come and it seems that we
ought to have a tile plant here and
keep the money that is being spent for
tile here at home.
Reinbeck.
George E. Watson seems to be mark
ed as a victim for some person or
persons whose delight is to steal. A
few weeks ago George had a horse
stolen from his pasture and could
never find a clew to it's whereabouts.
A short time afterwards he had a pair
Of whiffle-trees taken from his wa
gon at the barn, and Tuesday night Of
last week someone entered the back
door of his market and extracted 1910
from the cash drawer. Entrance to the
market was gained by cutting the
screen door which was the only door
fastened, as the other doors were left
open all night, to cool off the market.
There does not seem to be any direct
clew as to who committed the crimes,
bat George says there will be some
thin dom if he catches the fellow up
to any more of these capers, AMI he
is keeping a close watch that the
stealing is not repeated.

NO TRACE OF POISON.
Chemical Tests So Far Reveal Moth
ing in GriswoId case-Robbery Dis

Special to Tunes Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 1S.--With the
chemical analysis of Griswold's stom-
ach still uncompleted no traces of
poison have yet been found in the
stomach Of the man murdered Tues
day and his body thrown in the river.
The police are more positive than ever
that robbery was not the motive Of the
men who killed GrisWold, hut are at a
loss as to where to place their hands
on the man or woman who killed him.
The most significant thing today was
the admission of the hotel chamber
maid that Griswold's room at Mungers'
had not been occupied and the further
discharge of the night clerk. who failed
to see Griswold leave the hotel. The
proprietor claims, however, that the
had nothing to do with the
murder. Griswold's movements have
now been traced UP to the time he left
home, going first to his office, remain
ing until IL o'clock, and then going to
the postoffice and hotel.
There is no accounting for Griswold's
after reaching the hotel.
The police are trying today to discover

Gr1swold had. Griswold,s accounts
were completed up to.the night of his

To be such successful wife, to re-

husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be q woman's
constant study.
If woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, whites, irreg-
-ularities or the, blues, she should start
at once to build up her system by a
tonic with specific powers, such as

Specia! to Times Republican.
Boone, Sept. 1S.-Guy Stone and
his sweetheart. Jessie Griffith, are
about the happiest pair of lovers in
central Iowa today. The injunction suit
secured by Miss Griffith's mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth r. Hollingshead, in which
the young man was ordered by the
court to cease his attentions to the
young lady, has been dismissed and
late Saturday afternoon Mrs. Hollings-
head gave her written consent for the
marriage and the happy couple are
now welded.
The story of this case is decidedly
Griffith died very suddenly after
spending a couple of hours in this city.
He went to his home just south Of
town and took some medicine for u
cold. He lived less than two hours.
When his insurance papers We're gone
over it was found that the entire
amount had been left to his sister.
Miss Jessie. This displeased the
mother who had married Lewis Hol-
lingshead, and who. it is alleged, want
ed q slice of the fortune.
Aboud this time Guy Stone, well
known young lad, began paying his at
tentions to Miss Jessie, who was still
under age. Her mother tried to stop
the young lovers from seeing each 9th
err, but to no avail The two arranged
an elopement and had everything ready
for a hasty wedding in MarshalltoWn.
The girl quietly left her home shortly
after o'clock ona morning and met
Stone, and the two went to the North
western station to take the early nor
ming freight for Marshalltown. The
mother had feared such a step and they
We're met at the train by constable
who placed them under arrest, the
young man being charged with kidnap-
ping. The case was heard before To-
cal justice and after a number of de-
lays was dismissed. The mother was
advised by her attorney that the kid
mapping case would have such an end
ing and not to be outdone, secured an
injunction order from Judge Whitaker,
in which Stone was ordered to cease
his attentions to Miss Griffith. He
must mot speak to her, furnish her
with clothes or money or lodging
place; he must not call at her home"
and in fact he was placed in rather
trying situation for sweetheart. Guys
brother was also included IN this in
junction order.
The mother refused to be touched by
the appeals Of her daughter until Sat
urday afternoon about $3.50 o'clock,
when in w. W. Goodykoontz's office
she signed papers dismissing the suit
and then gave her written convent for
the marriage of her daughter to MT
Stone They were married that eve
ming and all wish them very happy
future, after such a hard time getting
launched.
