Mystery at St. Charles.

st. Charles, S. d., Nov. 28.-From a
staff correspondent: What is the
mystery which, after month. still
hangs over the strange disappearance
from here on Halloween night of the
Stegmeyer brothers? From circum-
stantial evidence it seems very much
as if there may have been foul play
possibly murder.
The story that the two saloon
keepers were scared out by Jokes on
Halloween is now declared to have
been merely concocted to cover the
matter up while a very thorough in
vestigatiOn is in reality being con
Quoted at this time.
Were Not Liked.
Louis and Frank Stegymeyer were
two Germans, siXty-two and fifty
eight years old. Though from all
opinions they meant well, their
methods of business and their gen
'eral attributes were peculiar and the
men were not well liked.
These men were not In debt and
they were doing a good business.
They left behind them a stock of
liquors valued at from 81 800 to $4,000.
When they came here the brothers
had between $500 and $4,000. And
they are said to have made lot of
money here,
Afraid Of Banks.
The Stegmeyers never dealt with
bank. They had no bank account.
Yet last month during the rush when
the bank notified them of the expira
ton of their license they came across
with $4OO in cash inside of twenty
minutes.
They had this money secreted In
the building-probably with the rest
of their uninvested capital. This ru.

Nevada. Oct 19.-The extreme dry
condition of the past few weeks. and
the heavy winds that have been driv-
ing dust and dryness over Iowa for
the past several days. have caused con-
siderable loss to the farmers of this
county. owing to fires along the right
of-way Of the different lines of road
thru the county. In one case, on the
Charles Carr farm, east of here. sparks
from a passing engine set fire in a
corn field some rods from the track.
and before it could be gotten under
control, about twenty acres of valu-
able corn had been destroyed.
In another case, in the Frank Lous
farm, about twenty acres of forty
acre field of clover that had been cut
and left in winrows, preparatory to
threshing it out for seed was fired
and burned by spark from an en-
CINE. The section crews have spent
large amount of their time, both
day and night, in fighting the small
fires along the right and are
under instructions to be in readiness
at any hour of the day or night to
answer call to fight fire.
Nevada is in a bad fix from fire

RENEWED HOPE AT AMEs.
First Victory in Fight For New
Gymnasium Scored BY Students.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Oct 19.-1'he students have
scored their first victory In their de-
termined fight for a new gymnasium.
The board at it's meeting last week.
decided to ask the legislature for an
appropriation for $150,000 building
to be used as a gymnasius, and also
as an auditorium until such time as
a special building for that purpose
could be built. There is probably not
a school in the west that is more lack
ing in equipment along these lines
than is Ames. Ever since early last
spring. the students have been con-
Quoting an organized campaign to Sc
cure building of this kind, and have
succeeded in convincing the board
that new gymnasium is a necessity.
Two other buildings will also be asked
fora veterinary building and
womans building.
