PECULIAR LAPSE OF MEMORY.
Former Resident Of cresten Returns
With Mind in Bad Condition.


Special to Times-Republican.
Creston. Sept. 14.-After many years
absence, Frank Dana, a one-time resi-
dent, has returned to the city but a
most distressing and unfortunate ILL
ness has left him without memory for
the names OF persons or places. Aside
from this lack of remembering peoples
names. and names of places, he has re-
covered and has the use of all his
faculties and can read and write, but
when he would speak the name OF a
person or place, he can not recall it.
I. he hears the name spoken he recog-
nizes it ana in this way alone he has
managed to tell his Creston friends
where he came from here. where his di-
yorced wife now lives and also the
place of residence OF his son. He was
in Chicago when his memory failed
him and wandered about for some time.
He was helped by the Odd Fellows
lodges Of which he is q member. and 1t
was thru their aid ne was enabled 20
reach Creston, where ne formerly lived.
He also lived near Cromwell for time.
He is being helped by the Odd Fellows
lodge here, and is in the best of health
now apparently without this one excep-
ton. The illness that caused the de-
feet in his memory was sort OF
PARALYSIS, tho different from any that
physicians who examined him had ever
noted before.

ITO the Honorable Railroad Commits
sionecs of the State Of Iowa:
The undersigned residents OF Buf-
falo Center and vicinity feeling that We
are not getting fair treatment by the
Rock Island Railroad Company in the
way of train service, appeal TO you to
look into the matter. feeling that after
a thorough investigation YOU will fnd
that our complaint is well founded.
We get no passenger train from either
way until 1926 p. m. and most OF the
mail is brought In by local freight from
the west at 1855 a. m. This freight
is seldom on time or near 1t. and 1t fire.
quently happens that this mail is held
at Germania and we do not get 1t until
SOS p. M, too late to get answers out

should have two passenger trains each
way each day"
1t is expected that the commissioners
will at once investigate this matter.
and better service is expected to re-
suit.
