Iowa News.

Waterloo, May 7.-For the first time
Sheriff f. NJ. Shores was outwitted by
q woman andan insane n at that. 1t
wasn't that the sheriff failed to find
the person he was after, but he was
! not sure just how far his authority
extended in dressing a female pris-
| oner. The woman was cute enough
to go to bed when she heard the sher-
if was coming, and that official was
nonplussed to find his fair prisoner had
ignored instructions to done a travelling
suit. so he beat a retreat until later
in the afternoon, when he took her in
charge.
The sheriff was detailed to bring
the woman, who is about 80 years old
and single, before the commissioners
of insanity at / o'clock. Word had
been left with the girls mother to
have here dressed and suit case pack
ed at the aDpointeddlour. But it seems
the victim of Authorization received in
formation that she was headed towards
an asylum, therefore she adopted the
only tactics she could think Of. All the
coaxing and threatening of her mother
could not change the girls notion Of
staying in bed.
Later in the afternoon. however,
she attired herself in a walking gown
and with q couple of magazines under
her arm started to IVA the neigh
borhood of lower Franklin street.
Sheriff Shores vas notified and picked
up the girl a few blocks from her home.

uor. after being a hard drinker for
many years" This is losing ones Up
petite for liquor suddenly, when it is
considered that this man was a hard
drinker for many years. The Neal In
%stitute, corner Fifth and Center, Des
Moines, Iowa, is filed with patients
all of the time. AS soon as a patient
is cured and discharged at the end of
three days and his foom is empty, there
are others ready and waiting to take 1t.
We understand that there are no hypo-.
.dermic injections given with this treat
ment. and that a plain printed bono
contract is given each patient agreeing
to effect a perfect cure in three days or
refund the money on the third DAY,
whether the treatment is taken at the
institute or in the home.

MAYOR AND MARSHAL CLASH.
Robert Howard, of Maxwell, to invoke
Soldiers Preference Law.

Soldiers Preference Law,
Special to Times-Repubiican.
Nevada. May THE soldiers pref
erence law is to be invoked in Max
we'll, according to a move recently
made by Robert Howard, an old vet
eran of the town who was removed
from the office of marshal by Mayor
Crank shortly after he had received the
appointment. The question hinges upon
the manner in which the removal from
office was brought about -
Mayor Crank says thai Howard
threw up the job voluntarily after a fit
of anger, brought IN by his being taken
to task by the mayor for non-perform-
ance of duty. The aged marshal, who is
a veteran Of the civil war, says that he
was Canned by the mayor.
Howard consulted a firm of well
known Des Moines attorneys and says
that after waiting the necessary five
days, if he does not receive r~e-appoint-
ment, he will push the case under the
soldiers preference law, which makes
it impossible to remove an old soldier
from an appointive office unless def
mite cause is assigned and the only
after the party to be removed has been
notified to appear for a hearing.
