YOUNG WOMAN LOST
Cincinnati Police Hunt for a
Local Mute.

According to a report the entire po-
lice force OF Cincinnati is searching
for Mrs. Ida Frazier. a deaf mute,
aged twenty years. wife of Fred Fraz-
ier, who attempted to shoot himself
few weeks ago before he was mar.
ried, because his sweetheart, now his
wife, had her photograph taken with
another man. 1t is said that Frazier.
who is also deaf and dumb. is now
in indianapolis. His wife was going
to Cincinnati to visit friends, it Is
said, and the conductor allowed her
to get of the train at Brighton
station when she desired to leave
the train at the Grand Central depot.
Apparently she became bewildered in
the city and is now lost. Her misfor'
tune Of being a mute is a disadvan-
tage to her.
Upon her failure to reach the home
of her friends, Supt. Jackson of the
Cincinnati police was notified and he
gave a description of the young wO-
man to every patrolman.

THE PRlCKLY FEAR.

This III Natured Fruit Is Remarkably
Tenacious Of Life.
The prickly pear is said to be &c.
tenacious of life that a leaf or ev1p
a small portion of a leaf, If thrown on
the ground, strikes out roots Within
a short time and becomes the parent
Of fast growing plant.
Mischievous though the African
prickly pear may be, it is not without
its good qualities. Its juicy fruit.
though rather deficient in favor, is
delightfully."- cool and refreshing in the
dry heat of summer, and a kind of
treacle is made from it.
Great caution must be exercised in
peeling this curious fruit. the proper
way being to impale the fruit on a
fork or stick while one cuts it open
and removes the skin. The individ
ual who undertakes to pluck this
treacherous fruit with unguarded f1n-
gers meets with an experience he does
not soon forget. Concentrated essence
Of stinging nettle seems all at once
to assail hands, lips and tongue, and
the akin, wherever 1t comes In con
tact with the i'll natured fruit, is Gov
cred with f group Of minute bristI!
hairs, apparently growing from 1t and
venomous and irritating to the last de-
gree.
In dry weather these spiteful little
stings do not even wait for the newly
arrived victim. but ny about. light as
thistledown, ready to settle on any
one who has not learned by experience
to give the prickly pear bush a wide
berth.

POSTAL BANK DOES
A LARGE BUSINESS
But Most of Depositors Are
American Citizens, Not
Foreigners.
The postal savings bank recently es

The postal savings bank recently es.
tablished in this city, from the reports
given out, seems to be doing a large
amount of business. Most of the de-
positors SO far have been American
born, but the postal authorities ex-
pect to interest some foreigners soon.
Not a single deposit has been with
drawn yet, and the holders of certifi-
Gates are we'll pleased with the insti-
tuition.
The saving stamps are an attractive
feature of the postal bank Many chill
dren who can not make large deposits
are buying the ten cent stamps, and
thus gradually creating an account of
some size. The stamps are also popu-
lar as currency, for they are negotia-
Bile. Many persons have adopted this
method of paying their bills with the
merchants. 1t has been noted that
many travelling men, passing through
the city, buy stamps, saying that they
are sending them home to their chill
dren.
The authorities in charge of the in
stitution are not surprised at the
paucity OF foreigners in the list of de-
positors. 1t will probably be weeks yet
before the foreigners will be educated
to use the postal bank.
The local postmen assert that, con-
trary to the general opinion held by
bankers to the effect that the postal
institution Injuries the business done
by the private banks, the government
bank will be a great help to business
conditions. Assistant Postmaster Hen
ry Deuker points out the fact that
probably not one of those who patron
ize the post Office depositary would
place funds in a private bank. For this
reason, the post office does not take
money away from the other banks, but
merely puts more currency into circu-
lation, thus lessening the chances of q
financial depression.

P|ERSON REFUSES
TO Be A WITNESS
So Charges of Highway Rob-
berry Against Yeager and
Bodiker Dropped.

On declaration OF Samuel Pierson
Of New Paris, a carpenter. that he
would neither come to Indiana to
testify nor otherwise furnish evidence
against Thomas Yeaxer and Edward
Bodiker, held at the county Jail since
the first of this month on the charge
OF highway robbery. prosecuting at
tOrney, Charles Ladd has dismissed
the affidavits pending against the two
men. They were released from the
county jail on Wednesday afternoon.
Pierson. with the two men and Ray
Hilbert, walked home from down
town pool room about 8 O'Clock in the
evening, and he claims that as they
reached the alley between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth on South A street
they all turned In, with the exception
Of Hilbert. who continued on east.
He told the police that upon going a
short distance in the alley he was set
upon by the two and robbed of s..
Bodiker and Weaker were arrested
within a few hours and identified.
Upon being taken to the county jail
the two engaged the services Of Rob-
bins and Robbins and investigation by
this firm and the prosecuting attor.
ney, later convinced the states attor-
ney that 1t would be useless to hold
Yeager and Bodiker. In his motion
to dismiss the case the attorney de-
clares that Pierson has refused to as
sist the state in the prosecution and
furthermore has declared that mas
much as he is a resident Of Ohio he
does not have to come to Indiana to
testify and will not. Ray Hilbert. who
was released short time after his ar
rest, could not give evidence suffi-
cient to warrant prosecution. In the
opinion OF the attorney. unless Hill
bert's evidence could be supported by
that of Pierson.
To the defendants attorneys the
prosecuting witness gave a statement
to the effect that he would not ap-
pear against the defendants. The
prosecuting attorney afterwards saw
Pierson and he again stated he would
not appear In court and be party to
sending the alleged highwaymen to
prison. The prosecuting attorney in
formed the court that as Pierson was
beyond his jurisdiction. he did not feel
It would be just to confine Yeager
and Bodiker in the Jail any longer.
