is QUESTIONED
Story Of a Confidence Betrayed

Which Employer Says He Paid

From Thursdays Daily.
stephen Lanes has been appointed
temporary gardian for Henry Lanes of
Eddyville. An entry to this effect ap-
pears on the probate docket of the
Wapello county district court. There
are many other similar entries even
for this term. Yet behind this entry
there turks story, an old one, it is
true, and yet one ever new. 1t is the
story Of a trusting, conf1ding old man
and woman.
In the legal terms. it is set forth in
the papers asking for the appointment
of temporary guardian that Henry
Lanes is an old man and that his men,
tai faculties are falling. His age is
in the neighborhood of 80. Further,
the papers say, he is dissipating away
his fortune, which is placed at about
$4,000. 1t is claimed that during the
last three months he has spent $500
uselessly and without getting return.
The petitioner, Stephen Lanes, his
son, AYERS that If the elder Lanes be
allowed TO continue as he has been do
ing ne will soon be penniless and a
county charge.
Admits Giving Money to Woman.
What the petition does not say is
that Henry Lanes has given the
money mentioned to woman, known
in Eddyville as Irene McIntire and to
the police in Ottumwa as Irene Allen.
Yet when seen this morning by the
Courier's correspondent in Eddyville,
Mr.. Lanes admitted that he had given
money to the McIntire woman during
the last two months during which time
she has been keeping his house for
him.
Lanes stated that some weeks ago
he gave her draft, the amount of
which was given by the Eddyville po-
lice as $50, which she sent to Sears
Roebuck &, Co. at Chicago for some
goods she wanted. Mr.. Lanes said
that at the time he gave her the draft
he was convinced that there was
something not straight about the trans
action because Of her actions
Marshal Grows Suspicious.
Mr.. Lanes was not the only person
whose suspicious were aroused. The
Eddyville marshal had also become
suspicious of the woman and at his
suggestion kilograms we're sent to Chi.
cago TO find out to where the goods
in question had been ordered sent. 1t
was discovered that goods had been
ordered sent to Irene Allen, 316 South
| Union street.
A few days ago Stephen Lanes, son
of Mr.. Lanes, came to Ottumwa and
the matter was reported to Chief OF
Police Daniel Harmon. Mr.. Harmon
stated today that he had the woman
brought up to the police station and
had questioned her Finally she agreed
to give up the goods, which she had
in her possession here, to avoid prose
cution. Attornies g. l.. Gillies, Stephen
Lanes representative, accompanied
by a policeman, went to the woman's
home and secured the goods, sending
them later to Eddyyille.

From Thursdays Daily.
Because. as they allege, an only son,
Jacob E. schaefer, the one support Of
their old age, was killed while in the
employe of the Wabash Railroad COM
pany, leaving them absolutely desti-
tute in the sunset of their lives, Mrs.
Anna McIntire and her husband, John
McIntire have filed in the district court
a suit against the company for $40 900
damages.
In their petition they, allege that the
son was killed on the Wabash track
near st. Louis while dfscharging his
duties as an employee Of the railroad,
on June 25, 1906. His mother, Mrs.
McIntire, claims that she is in i'll
health and unable to do manual labor.
yet because her husband is aged and
very feeble she has had to do washing
in order that they might exc out an
existence. She states she has no other
means of support outside of the mites
she obtains for washing, and that she
and her husband are almost entirely

Her son, she states, was their one
support; that his estate was worth
more TO her than can ever be measured
in money damages She alleges that
Jacob Schaefer met his death through
the negligence of the defendant rail-
road and it's employees. Therefore she
asks judgment of the court to the
above amount.

against tremendous odds held
his own for four years of ter

to pay tribute to his great

which made him regret that he
had not modelled his life after

water afforded by our plant. We
are convinced that an artesian
well ought to have been put in
so that good and pure water
could be freely had for drinking
and other household uses. The
preservation of the good health
of the town is another reason
why this should be done.
We strongly believe in the
economical and businesslike ex-
penditure of public funds, and
in public improvements general
ly, for which the revenues of our
town are now amply sufficient
without increasing the assess
ment or rate of taxation, if pro-
perly administered.
We pledge ourselves. if elected, i,
to put these views in force and
to use our best efforts to keep
Lafayette in line with the pro-
greSSive towns around us.

cause for which Lee stood.

cause for which Lee stood.
Maj. DeClOuet then in a few
complimentary words turned
over the meeting to Mayor G. O.
Mouton. who, in the short talk
he made, spoke of the devotion of
the South to the memory of Gen.
Lee, and his great character.
This country had produced
many statesmen, many soldiers
but only one Lee" He suggest
ed that the veterans speak of
Gen. Lee to the young, that
fathers speak of him to their
children. that the young ladies
speak of him to their sweet
hearts. for whoever would keep
the memory of Lee could not go
far wrong.
Mayor Mouton then intro
duced Mr.. VIM. Clegg as one
who had followed Lee and knew
him, who would read Gen. Lees
farewell address to his army,
which he did in a clear and ex-
pressive way. The reading was
followed by a selection by the
band in which both Dixie and
Yankee Doodle we're played.
Both airs were received with ap-
plause showing that while the
audience was loyal to the Lost
Cause and it's heroes. they were
also loval to the union.
Mayor Mouton then introduced
the orator of the day, Mr.. Jno.
L. Kennedy, who began by say
ing that he wished he was more
able to nay tribute to the great
character of Gen. Lee, but that
he recognized that it was unneces-
sary for him to depict the lofty
soul of Lee to a Southern au-
dience. There were pages of
history full of men of colossal
genius and monumental achieve
ments, but not one save Lee but
who had left behind him eviden-
ces of weakness or passion.
Notwithstanding sectional hatred
and partisan feeling no one had
ever traduced the name of Lee
the South's chevalier sans peur
ct sans reproche. He rapidly
sketched Lees life as a poor boy
the comfort and support of his
mother, the West Point cadet
recognized as q leader, the bril-
liant soldier who Gen. Scott de-
clared was worth fifty thousand
men to the Southern cause, the
loyal son of Virginia who though
recognizing the great odds
against the seeding states, yet
put aside the tempting offer Of
mander-in-chief of the Federal
armies to serve his native State,
and the man who admiring Wash
ington placed the mark Of his
character among the heights Of
nobility Of soul, He did not
speak Of ancellorsville, Of
Spottsylvania or Cold Harbor,
nor of the brilliant soldier who

The room had been tastefully

About p. m. the corps OF In

then assembled upstairs. After
an invocation by Rev. F. E. Rog-
ers, pastor of the Presbyterian

track during the coming week. be-
ginning this afternoon. In accordance
with the resolution of the Kentucky
Racing commission, which allotted the
dates to the Lexington association, no
bookmakers, agents or betting COM

the grand stands. The purses for the
meet, which will last until next Sat-

Some of the best horses in the west

The present running meet resulted
from the purchase by Lexington and

Care Of the Razor.


1t has been estimated that nine
tenths of the people in the United
States shave themselves, and 1t is safe
to say that nine-tenths Of these shaw
ers hone, strop and care for their
own razors.
A common razor costs from 50
cents to IS and lasts a lifetime, even
a century, If used we'll. But most
men use their razors worse than their
carving knives.
1t is not generally known that a
razor works on the same principle
as a saw. Under a magnifying glass
the edge of razor is found to be
made up Of little teeth, irregular and
fine.
When man is through shaving,
especially if he is in hurry, he
puts up his razor without even wip-
ing it of. Then, when he wishes to
use it again, he takes it from the
case and applies it directly to his
face.
The majority of men who shave
themselves do not strop their blades
oftener than once a week. This is
ruinous to the edge, for, being con-
structed like saw, the soap and fine
PARTICLES of hair clog up the teeth
and not only hinder the razor from
doing its work properly, but also rust
the edge.
The proper way to shave is to use
a sidewise, slanting, saving motion.
There is less difficulty in the cutting
in this way and practically no. !.tpull,"
unless the razor is in extremely bad
condition. The man who learned to
shave by himself will invariably pick
up a razor and pull directly and for
chilly down his cheek. The man who
has learned from one who knows uses
the saving motion and saves much
time and trouble, as well as his skin.
The stropping OF razor is more
important than most men consider it.
On the stropping depends directly
the health and longevity of the tool.
Most men know the stropping motion;
the only fault is that they do not
employ their knowledge often enough.
The homing of the blade is of the
highest Importance. Nine-tenths of
the selfshavers hone their razors
themselves and nine-tenths of these
hone them the wrong way. Even the
majority of BARRIERS, who are supposed
to know, use the old-fashioned, labor
ious and unsatisfactory method of
honing. They draw the razor across
the hone with the edge, the proper
way is to draw it against the edge
and thus save time, by getting the
greatest cutting force from the tool.
Here are the proper directions for
honing razor:
To bring a dull razor to an edge,
dip light side of rub stone in cold
water lido not use hot water), rub
: on hone until you create thin lather;
lay razor perfectly fiat, so that both
back and edge touch the hone; draw
razor across the hone from heel to
point against the edge; hone in this
way until your razor is sharp. Test
razor on thumb nail; If it adheres
from heel to point then you have an
edge. Honing after these directions
it is impossible to get "wire edge"
which happens to almost every ANA
teur.
