Missing Children Found at West Dunn.
merston.


After having been separated from their
father several weeks the two young
daughters of a Chesterfield man were
returned to him yesterday by Mrs. Jennie
B. Powers, agent for the Humane society,
who went to West Dummerston, and
took them from the home OF their
mothers sister where the mother had
left them when she went away several
weeks ago, departing for parts unknown.
The two little girls are happy to be
home again, and so expressed themselves
when they were taken to their father. On
several occasions the father has tried to
get the children, but without success, so
at last he brought the case to the atten-
ton OF Mrs. Powers, who, after making
inquiries about the man, to see II he was
the right person TO have charge OF them,
went to Dummerston, got the children and
took them to their father.-[Keene Senti-

For MAKING Cement Blocks

Primghar, March Hole Olson,
of Rock Rapids, Ia, has invented and
applied for a patent with hardly a
doubt but that it will be granted, a
machine for the manufacture of ce-
ment blocks. His model beats anything
yet gotten up for the quick and easy
manufacture of the blocks. The pat
ent he asks is for the machine, as 1t
can be used for the making of any pat
tern of block made, simply by the put
ting in of the core desired. The ma
chine is very simple and can be oper-
ated by one man. BY the use of levers
the block, when moulded, can be laid
to one side without the usual lifting
around BY those who profess to know
it is said that by the use of this ma
chine the manufacture of the blocks
can be quadrupled with the same NUM-
Der of men, and this can be accom-
plished much easier than by the other
machines. Several parties with ample
means. have volunteered to finance the
enterprise, which is an assurance that
the invention has merit.

Nevada, March 17.--tAfter one OF the

OF casting u ballot but they had right

taken advantage of.
About an hour before the polls were

school house and this was the signal
for ever voter present who lived near
the school house, to make rush for
his wife and escort her to the polls an !
