Nevada. Aug. 22.-Tommy Ryan, a
young man who came to Nevada last
March, after tourist trip thru the
far west, and who claims Chicago as
his home, and has been doing a little
amateur detective stunt around here
for the past few months, is in the
county Jail violently insane, as the

Respondent over an unrequited love
affair
Ut seems that since coming here,
Ryan became acquainted with Miss
Mabel Britson, a pretty and clever little
miss at Roland, a daughter of one Of
the first families of the community,
and prominent socially. Ryan made
a decidedly favorable impression upon
the girl, and friendship soon ripened
into love. and an engagement was
formed. A few days ago, 1t appears
that Miss Britson, for some unknown
reason, probably learning something of
her affianced husbands past, broke the
her and pressing his suit, but 1t was
to no avail
Thursday, the Norwegian Lutheran
Choloral union was to sing at the
Ames chautauqua, and Miss Britson
was one of the number. Ryan was in
Ames when she arrived, and was with
her part of that evening. 1t was dur
ing this visit that he learned with
positiveness that all was over between
him and his former sweetheart. The
next morning he came over to Nevada
and transacted some business with
County Attorney Mccall, secured a
bottle of laudanum, and returning to
Ames, went up in the north part of
town in the afternoon. and took the
dose. His cries of pain and suffering
brought forth some laborers. and they
soon had physician on hand, who
gave the man antidotes and used
stomach pump. The boys life was
saved, but his reason had flown, and
he was raving maniac, especially SO
when his sweetheart, who was sent for,
arrived in his presence. AT last{he was
securely strapped in an automobile
and hurried to this city, where he was
confined in the woman's ward OF the
county Jail, under guard.
The insane commission considered
his case yesterday, but they were un-
able to send him to the asylum until
they communicate with the board of
control, as he is not a resident of the
state This morning the man was APP
parently rational until he spied a
photo Of his sweetheart, which was
lying among his personal effects. when
he again became violent, attempted to
bite. and otherwise injure himself, and
rave wildly Ryan is an uneducated
fellow, unable to read and write, and
he had been conducting his correspond
ence with his sweetheart thru another
party.

General Demand

s .ss y
of the Well Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali

by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

Grinneu, Aug. 22.-Allen Bruner
and wife visited Grinnell friends and
relatives last week. Mr.. Bruner, who
was reared in Tama county, left here
about 1880 and has not tbeen back for
eighteen years. He will be remembered
as the son of IS. Bruner, who owned
the old mill that stood where the
United Presbyterian church is now
located, but which was abandoned
with the abandonment of wheat rails
ing in Iowa many years ago.
Mr.. Bruner and his brother Ed, who
was seriously injured in the cyclone,
are interested in a syndicate which
owns large plantation in Honduras,
where they raise oranges, lemons, ba-
nanas, and rubber trees, shipping large
amounts to the United States and
Europe. They do not ship oranges
and lemons to this country, owing to
the duty of cent a pound, which is
prohibitive. Mr.. Bruner says that
this is regrettable for Americans. as
their fruit would come at time of
year SO as not to compete with the
native product and would supply or
anges in October and November when
they are out of season here. The
trees in the Honduras can be made
to bear their fruit at almost any time
of the year by trimming them back
they can be delayed, and in other ways
they can be crowded forward.
The climate On the Honduras coast
is very equablei not varying over 90
degrees the year round. The thermom-

ing the twelve months. Back in the
interior, where the altitude is higher,
