Special to Times-Republican.

Webster City, Jan. 27.-After having
supposed him dead for forty-siX years,
Mrs. II. r. Clifford, of this city, has
gone to Princeton, H., to visit her
brother, Samuel Howe. The latter en-
listed in the union army in 1867 along
with Mrs Gfford's husband, H. X.
Clifford. In some manner the two men
became separated during the pro-
gress of the war and Samuel Howe
was supposed to have been killed.
That he might be living was never
thought of until a few days ago,
when Mrs Clifford received letter
from Princeton, Ill, purportng to come
from her brother. She was much sur
prised and not entirely convinced that
the letter was genuine, but further in
quries proved the existence of her
brother in fact. In some manner Mr..
Howe lost track of his family after
the war and as time passed supposed
that his sister was not living, as she
was already we'll along in years. New
ertheless. he recently made inquiries
thru the United States pension de-
partment and found that she lived in
this city
Mrs. Clifford. or Grandma" Clifford,
as she is familiarly known by her
many friends, is now 81 years of age,

FAVOR MOTOR CARS
Suggestion for Improved Service on
Tama Jewell Branch of c. & N. w.
to Be Taken Up by Patrons.

Residents in the towns and rural
districts along. the line of the North
western between Tama and Jewell are
preparing to make fight for better
train service, which was recently re-
duced to one train each way per day
by the management, as a part of Its
general retrenchment scheme. The
suggestion of Mr.. A. P. Thayer in ar
article in the columns of the Times
Republican that motor cars be placed
on this branch, at least as an expert
ment, meets with endorsement, and the
question will be taken up with the
railway commission. One of the com
n1ittee of patrons in charge of the
matter, writes as follows from New
Providence:
New Providence, Iowa, Jan. 90:

your A. p. Thayer letter from Union,
paragraph concerning the train service
on the c. & N. w. between Tama ant
Jewell, and that he suggests the use
Of motor CARS for trial on that line.
am writing to enquire if you will moi
kindly send a marked copy of that pa
per to the general superintendent OF
the road, and one to the state rail-
road commission.
"As member of the committee OF
the patrons of the road who are de-
manding better service this looks like
q feasible solution of what is now q
bad case. This seventy miles of road
now has one train each way daily. The
one going west in the morning carries
practically all the mail, and the mail
clerks seem unable to care for it all on
the up trip. so the papers are usually
carried past and brought back at
night. Thus they do not get out or
rural routes until they are pretty old
eff the motor system could be made
effective so as to give US this needed
mail service and at the same time
reasonable connection at Gladbroot

Jewell junction for Des Moines the
