Oskaloosa, Sept. 30.-A dogs ability
to find his way to his old home after
long absence, has been dem onstrated
here. Sport has finally returned af-
ter more than a years absence and
Jos. A. Mcintyre, 401 Fifth avenue
east and family are all the more at
tached to their canine pet because of
his wanderings. Fourteen months ago
the dog, which is a valuable Pointer
possessing unusual intelligence, dis
appeared and was long since given UP
for lost. Systematic searching and
continued waiting failed to reveal any
clue to his whereabouts and only con-
lecture furnished an explanation to his
ued THE dog at s100 and often said
that he would not take that amount
for him. He was seriously lgrieNed by
his loss and was greatly rejoiced when
he unexpectedly recovered the pet last
Friday. Sport was given a warm re-
ception and in an almost distressing
effort u make kIlOWn his happiness at
returning to his friends and master, he
exhibited every imaginable expression
of affection and joy known to dogs.
Sport was always fond of hunting
and he was especially valuable to his
master for that. During the summer
of 1907 was the last time he was TAX
en- into the woods and on that day
some men, who noticed the excellent
qualities of the dog, expressed their
desire to purchase him, hut We're Civ
ell no encouragement by Mr.. Mcintyre.
On the following day Sport disap.
peared end the conclusions drawn from
the incidents were that he had been
stolen. If he had been taken away
any reasonable distance his natural
instinct and unusual affection for his
home and master would have insured
his immediate return as soon as re-
leased, and the fact that fourteen
months elapsed before he returned
would indicate that he had been con-
veyed by train to some far distant
place, and perhaps even out Of the
state.

over two years and that a man was
killed in Chicago which resemb1ed him.
That the picture that was published in
the papers and the description Of the
clothing of the dead man which was
given, all convinced Mrs. Lindsay that
her husband was dead and, relying
upon that belief, she married Mr..
Hampton. 1t now transpires that Lind

fore Mr.. Hampton has brought an ac-
ton in the district court asking that

his wife remove all allegiance to each

Bows.
A gang Of workmen composed for
the most part of the members OF the
church, have been at work the past
two weeks remodeli1g the basement
Of the Presbyterian church, The in
side is being cemented, celled and
painted. A kitchen has been put in and
the spring which has always been
bubblfng there has been turned into
a we'll and a general transformation
executed. A. A. Smith and j. w.
Hillyard seem to be the "straw boss
es" but a number of others have helped.
When it comes to having members
who are not afraid to work, the Pres
byterian church leads the procession.
Ontario.
IT seems that the first report con-
cerning the Ontario scandal was in
correct so far as the young lady is
concerned 1t was not the young
lady who was graduated from the
A1nes schools, but a younger sister
Lorraine Parmley, who had promised
to marry the Italian section hand
Miss Marie Parmley is teaching
school in Boone county and is giving
general satisfaction. It seems thai
the younger sister, who is only II
years of age, became the second choice
OF the italian. who had won the heart
Of the mother and had secured he1
consent to marry him when he became
infatuated with the younger daughter.
A son, who is IA years of age, declares
that he will shoot the Italian hs
makes any effort whatever to carry
on the sister. He Is upheld by this
of Ontario, who brought about
the arrest Of the italian for carrying
concealed weapons at Ames last week.
1t seems that the couple had planned
the elopement not because Of parental
objections, but because OF the indiEna-
ton which was expressed at Ontario.
The mother, it seems, after the italian
who is known as Frank, had turned
from her for the daughter, gave her
onsent to the marriage. Ontario IL
still badly worked W over the ak1ais.
