TWO SUCKERS.

Dispatches Of recent date tell o. the
fleeing OF two Iowa farmers by q
ruse that for sheer nerve and brass
on the part OF the perpetrators and
guIlibiiity on the part OF the victims
beats any fraud that was ever Derpe-
trated. 4 chap OF the name OF Hag-
gins met the grangers on : train,
scraped an acquaintance with them
and 60 won their confidence thae he
cot them to send him small sums 10
bet on horses In Chicago. O. courae
the races on which the money was bet
panned out right, and the stake and
winnings were returned TO the farm
ers. This fred their cupIdity, and
shortly after they received word 10
raise all the money they could and
send 1t to Haggtns, 80 race waa 60
b. pulled on On which they we're sure
to win. They mortgaged their farms
for $1,000 each, sent the money 20 the
stranger and In a short time received
word that they had won and that
they could have their money by going
Co Kansas City. They went thsthsr,
but found no Haggins and no money.
Today they are lot wiser, but con-
siderably poorer financially.

about 200 inhabitants to 1000 or more.

was made up Of few families drawn
TO this point by the building of the
Richmond and Danville railroad Now
there are two mill villages, Thornwell
Orphanaee, and the Presbyterian col
lege in addition to the regular popu-
lation.
Nearly forty firms transact mer-

Mr. Watts w. Davis was the first and
his dollar heads a long list of con-

was Mr. r. u. Wright, and DR.. j. w.
Davis was third. After that the fund
grew fast. The ladies of the chap
ter organized plans for series OF
hose efforts to minister to the inner
man by which women everywhere
raise their gifts to public undertak-
ings. They also assessed themselves
dollar q year, until the monument
should be paid for, in addition to reg
ular dues.
In Dec. 1907 the chapter reported.
in it's first report to the general con
vention, $400.26 on the monument
fund. After the first year the fund
grew more slowly, but by the begin
