Prominent Farmer Living Near
Fort Dodge Disappears
From His Home
NO TRACE OF HIS WHEREABoUT
Last Seen in a Fort Dodge Store
Over a Week Ago Since Which Time
He Has Completely Disappeared -
Prime Was Suffering Injuries Re-
ceved in Fall.
Special to Times Republican.

Fort Dodge, Feb. 1S.-A. G. Prime,
residing on the Jarrett dairy farm, n
mile and II half southeast of the city,
has disappeared and so far every eff
fort on the part of friends aided by
the police, has been futile in locating
him. The last seen of the missing
shortly before noon n week ago, on Fri
day, when he was engaged In CONVEX
sation with his brother-in-laW, Will
lam Cloud of this city.
Mr.. Prime Is we'll known to all OF
the business people of Fort Dodge as
he has resided in the vicinity of the
city for u number of years and has
always made this his trading point.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. Prime
was engaged in doing the chores out
about the barn when he got hard
fan. striking the back of his head and
neck violently on some obstacle. He
was unconscious for n considerable
length of time, and when he came
around made his way to the house,
where he told what had happened. He
did not know how long he was un-
conscious, but 1t was for some minutes
at least
He was unable to sleep any that
night, but on Thursday went about
his usual work. and there appeared TO
be nothing wrong with him. The head
ache stayed by him all of the time,
however, and Friday morning when
he decided to come to the city, he
was still suffering from 1t.
When he left home in the morning
he told his wife he would be gone the
greater part of the day He rode into
the city with one of the men engaged
on the farm. intending to walk back
I'm the afternoon. He appeared all
right all of the time, and on arriving
in town made a number of collections
amounting to about forty dollars, aud
transacting other business.
A little before noon he called up the
Jarrett residence in this city, and
stated that he would be up there a
little later on some business connect
ed with the dairy. He failed to get
there, however, and the last thing
that was seen of him to the knowledge
of those that are conducting the
search, was at thu Furlong & Bren-
nan store, where he was talking with
his brother-in-la law, as stated above.
When he stepped out OF the store
he as completely disappeared as tho
he had dissolved into air and foatel

Upon a Sad Case.

Upon Sad Case.
Special to Times Republican.
E,ldora, Feb 1S.-A very sad case
was before the Hardin county COM
missioners of insanity yesterday NOR
ming. The result of the investigation
proved that Mrs. Charles Stelow was
a Gt subject for treatment ut the in
sane hospital at Independence. Mrs.
Stelow is lady 46 years of age. is a
native of Germany. but has lived in
this locality for years and has many
friendswho are grieved to know of her
unfortunate condition. She is the
mother of Il large family of children all
of whom died in infancy excepting two
daughters. aged Is and 13 years re-
Spectively.
The sadness of the case is deepened
by the fact that for twenty-three years
she, with her husband. labored early
and late sparing themselves nothing
until from lack OF strength they were
forced to abandon farm life and move
to town During these years property
to the amount of a $50 acre farm and
two residence properties In town were
accumulated.
1t was soon after moving to town
that Mr. Stelow died. This sorrow
weighed heavily upon the wife, and to-
gether with property and responsiblli-
ties her mind gave way
The sympathy of the entire commun-
ity is extended the daughters and all
unite with them'in hoping the mothers
case may readily yield to treatment,
and that she will soon be able to re-
turn home.

little hope for her recovery.

that of the speakers who We're to

Mr.. John Thompson of Sioux City,

FEW PRIVATE BANKS
Growing Tendency to Organize Under
the Iowa or National Laws Is Mo-
ticed In the Hawkeye State.

Special to TImes-Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 1S.-There seems
to be a growing tendency of Iowa pri-
vate banks to reorganiZe under state
or national charters This has been
especially noticeable since the first of
the new year and within the last few
days three more private banks have
secured charters from the state audi
tors office to continue their business
as state or savings banks.
The last private bank to make itself
subject to the state banking laws is
that of Niles & Walters, of Anamosa,
largest private banks in the state.
They have ben doing a private bank
ing business at Anamosa since 1879,
and now have deposits of over $780,
600 on hand. Under the new charter,
which was issued by the state auditor
today the bank will now be known as
the Niles & Waters Savings bank. Its
capital is $4,000. C. L. Niles is the
president and r. e. Walters the CASH
ier Charters have also been issued to
the State Bank Of Pacific junction and
the Conway Savings bank of Conway,
both of which institutions were for
merly private banks. The Pacific
Junction bank has a capital of $780,
OOo and the Conway Savings of $780,
600.
1t is believed that the fact that four
teen of the nineteen bank failures in
Iowa last year We're private inStitu-
tions, as reported by Dun and Brad
streets, has had much to do with the
movement of private bankers to
change their institutions to state or
national banks.
OF the four state bank failures, two
went into voluntary liquidation, and
Willard Cox, of the state banking de-
partment reports that both of these
later will be able to pay their deposit
tors in full.

Dickens. Feb. 1S-The farmers way
up in northwest Iowa are today feeling
the effects of a poor crop of corn FOR
the last three years. and when the
special seed corn train came in were
assembled to the number of about two
hundred TO try and learn how to inn
prove that most valuable crop on their
farms here In the north line OF the
corn belt Many farmers have been
planting seed brought In from the
while in few instances. they have
seemed to get n large yield when
they come to feed this corn they find
that it is immature, unSound and chat
~ and makes less good feed than the
smaller kinds that mature fully in this
high latitude, altho the latter yields
less in bushels
The information impaired to the far
mers from these lectures on seed corn
from these trains is so plain as to be
self evident facts, and the only COM
plant we heard from the farmers was
that the time was too short, and we
could not get all the information we
wanted in so short time. All the
farmers can read and w. =. Warner,

of the c. NJ & ST. p railroad has
made provision to furnish all who want
a copy of bulletin No. Il on seed corn.

low the instructions of this bulletin
they will begin to make AN increased
profit from the raising of corn. even

It is a new organ of taste, ind the

and all over the coating Of the passage
thru the neck. Experiments have
proved that it is just below the surface
of the lining. 1t is bud shaped.
Just what individual function the
new organ has, Professor Wilson does
not know. He declares that it repels
drinks and food having sour. taste
and welcomes those having a. sweet
taste. Anything sour4ors i'll tastingsthat
goes down the throat makes theggSstaste

know as mump in the throat. -

professor declares, are not welcomed by
