Demise Of Miss Clare Andrews, Popu-
lar Teacher, Very Unexpected.
Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, May 11.-This community
was shocked Saturday afternoon when
the news spread that Miss Glare An
drews had suddenly died. She had
been absent from her duties at the east
side school, where she was teacher,
a day or two, but no one thought her
to be in a serious condition. She was
taken suddenly worse, and tho the
family physician did all possible for
her relief, 1t was without avail. A
complication OF appendicitis and can
Ger was the cause Of death.
She was the eldest daughter Of Mrs.
H. H. Andrews and was about q years
of age. For number Of years she had
been teacher in the city schools, and
was pronounced one Of the very best.
The board recently engaged her for
next year, at an advance in salary,
proving that she was admitted to have
exceptional ability. Two years ago she
was candidate for county superin-
tendent of schools. She was member
Of the NJ. E. church, teacher of a large
class of girls in the Sunday school, a
worker in the Epworth League, and an
exemplary young lady in every respect

and May Withdraw.
Indianapolis, Ind, May 11.-Friends
of Vice President Fairbanks are ex-
pecting to receive notice ut any time
that he will not further prosecute his
candidacy for the republican nominal
ton for president. The strides that
Secretary Taft has made in the last two
weeks, and especially the failure of the
vice president to secure the delegation
from Kentucky, are given as reasons
why he is expected to retire from the
race. He may not do this In formal
manner, for his candidacy never has
been so announced, but it will be by
Informing his managers to cease their
efforts in his behalf.
Some delegates think boom may be
started for the "old ticket and that,
If it were done, Roosevelt and Fair
banks would be nominated with
whoop, but the idea is not being en-
couraged by a majority of the dele
gates. Two months ago Gov. Hughes
had strong following in the Indiana
delegation as second choice. but senti-
ment has been turning to Taft.

BOYS BODY FOUND
Johnny Meyers, Missing From AIsona
for Six Weeks, Met Death in Waters
of Creek.

Special to Tines Republican.
Algona, May 11-Johnny Meyers, who
disappeared from his home six weeks
ago, has at last been found. Mr..
Bowser and some men went down to
the river to fish and on their way up
the stream they discovered something
in a little creek back from the Bever,
investigating, it proved to be the body
Of young Meyers. They telephoned the
city marshal and the sheriff and soon
posse went down to the river. Not
being able to get the coroner they
summoned the. constable and the body
was taken from the stream and placed
in a box and taken to the home of the
mother.
1t seems he had waded out in this
stream and got into the mud up to his
knees, and he either was too weak or
had one of his fits and fell backwards,
as he was lying in this position when
found. 1t is about two miles from his
home The posse that were looking for
him had been in this locality but OIL
account of heavy rains the body could
not be seen until the water had gone
down,

few others could follow. Later he
turned his attention to fire insurance
for a Des Moines company, and he
almost invariably carries off the hon.
ors from month to month for new
business secured. This man got relig-
ion just six years ago, and entered
upon the business Of his Christian life
with as much vigor as he gave to his
fire insurance business. He hadn't
thought much about his old debts. but
they got on his mind and he dreamed
a dream, he says, in which God called
on him to square up those old accounts
so he promised, if God would help him.
He worked hard, he prospered, he made
fortunate investments, and Saturday
went to Humboldt with all the cash
necessary to put him right with the
world
Just as unique as L. L. Sample him
SELF was the notice he published in
the Humboldt newspapers giving no.
tice to his creditors to dig into their
musty old records for their claims
against him. 1t was as follows:

verted in dream on the 9th day of
May, 1902, the Lord called on me to

and book accounts held against the
above names, and If found satisfactory
will pay them face value.
I promised the Lord about three
years ago I would do this as soon as
He gave me the money wherewith to
pay the same, and as the LORD has now
fulfilled his part of the agreement

La Porte, Ind, May 11.-Authoritles
of-the county today are busy weaving
together shreds of evidence relied upon
to connect Ray Lamphere with the
deaths at the Gunness farm and have
their case as complete as possible When
the grand jury meets next week. AS
vet the evidence has not revealed to
any great extent what attitude it will
counsel will discuss the matter with
sany one farther than to claim that
Mrs. Guinness is still alive and that she
fred her own house that burned her
children to death. While the prosecutor
still denounces the theory as abso-
lutely improbable, yet this impression
Is becoming widespread despite the al
most total absence Of evidence to sup
port 1t.
The weather again today was very
threatening. Some rain has fallen, tho
not in sufficient quantities to necessar-
8 lily delay the sheriff operations at the
Guinness farm.
Evidence Against Lamphere.
That Andrew Helgelein did not give
up his life without a struggle is evi-
denced by the fact that in one of his
clenched hands was a brown tuft of
short hair, which is said to be in cor
respondence closely with the hair COW
ering the head of Ray Lamphere. This
new phase Of the mysteries was dis
closed in the deposition of Dr. Myer,
one of the examining physicians. who
went into an exhaustive examination
OF Helgelein's body.
ss,S William Brogiski, a Polander living
with a farmer neisshbor of Mrs. Cum
ness, was called upon during the years
1906-O7 to dig three holes in the barn
lot on the Guinness place. He was told
by Mrs. Guinness that the holes were
1 to be utilized for rubbish and farm re-
fuse. Mrs. Guinness designated the di-
. mension of the holes, which Brogiskl
said were about six feet long and four
feet wide. In all these holes bodies
have been found.
