We Prefer Iowa in Ours.

People up here in Iowa who have
glanced at the accounts of the big
floods on the lower Mississippi, have
little idea of how bad they are. Here
is how it has effected Osceola, Ar
kansas, as told in the Osceola Press,
published by G. F. Rinehart, former
" of Des Moines, whose wife was a
former Leon girl, Miss Sue Young,
daughter of Major and Mrs. J. L..
Young He writes:
W "Never before have the elements
so conspired against the people and
property of section so vast in ex-
tent and marvellous in resources.
The myriad streams of north and
east and west have vented their
pent-up fullness in movement
which could have been no more de-
structive if pre-concerted. Perhaps
history will never again repeat such
record of riot, wreck and ruin.
sFour hundred and fifty miles OF
the course of the Father of Waters
is lined and bordered by levees built
by human hands to protect life and
property from the flood. These
ievees were constructed for condi-
ton as they had been outlined in
human experience. They were built
to Withstand floods as they had been
known since the memory of man.
They had been tried and found suf-
ficient for many years, but March
and April of 1912 surpassed all rec
ords by more than five feet in height
and the levees, more than full to the
brim, spilled their contents over the
edges and underneath wherever a
{ weakness developed that could not
stand the excessive and prolonged
strain.
t.As we write this we are marooned
below the level of the raging waters,
with all avenues of escape cut off for
most of us, though we would not es-
cape if we could and leave so much
undone that must be done when the
emergency comes as come it will.

NOTED CROOK is CAPTURED.
Man Who Passed Forged Checks in
Mt. Ayr Two Years Ago
is Arrested.

Tuesdays Register and Leader
told of the arrest at Hot Springs
Ark, of Fulton c. Van Camp, alias
G. J. Nelson, alias William Galloway
alias G.. A. Work, and alias several
other names, for whom the officers
have been looking since two years
ago this spring when two checks
, which proved to be forgeries were
cashed in Mount Ayr. Van Camp,
or whatever his name is, operated
quite extensively in Iowa. Two
years ago this spring he was in Mt.
Ayr for about two weeks, represent
ing himself as agent for the Wragg
Nursery Company at Des Moines.
He boarded at the Commercial hotel
and did considerable driving, hiring
teams from Thomas H. Dull's livery
barn. A day or two before he left
Mt. Ayr, without paying his board
bill or his livery bill, he presented a
check to, the Farmers State Savings
Bank for 500, three-fourths of
which was paid in cash and a GER
tificate of deposit was taken for $25.
Another check for SOS was cashed
at the Mt. Ayr bank. Both checks
were written on the firm check of
the Wragg Nursery Company. When
the checks reached Des Moines they
were pronounced forgeries. The
case was reported to the Iowa Bank
ers association and descriptions of
Van Camp were sent broadcast. He
was traced from place to place, but
always managed to escape. His ar
rest last week was made by William
J. Burns, the hero of the Mcnamara
dynamiting case and the San Fran
cisco graft cases.
So many charges are said to be
pending against him that it is doubt
full if he will ever be brought to
Iowa. He will probably bestried at
Pine Bluff, Ark, where he is wanted
on a charge OF forgeries. He is fifty
years old and If convicted of the
charges against him will probably
spend the remainder Of his life in
prison Mt. Ayr Record News.

PETRIFIED MOOSE
NEAR GLENDIVE

GIendive, Mont. Oct. 2.-Several
biologists found a petrifed moose
about a mile. out of Glendive in the
hills. The body is an obdurate mass,
formed through calcereous deposits. 1t
is classed among the fossils and it's
age is unknown, existing perhaps some
100000 years ago. There was some
disagreement among the biologists as
to the age, some claiming that these
animals bolted from the old standpat-
ter Noah and were lost in the food
followed.
The carcass seemed to be the only one
of the moose family although it was
surrounded by t~ricerateps, a genus of
huge proportions, which seemed to
have a monopoly on the common mil
mails Of it's day.
The u moosers here seem to think
there is no connection between
the present bull moose and the one
found out in the hills, although the
characteristics Of both seemed to have
been the same. 1t is evident that the
fossil struck out alone leaving the rest
of his party. The teeth in its head
were very prominent, although there
were no traces of optical lens, being
concealed they were farther sighted
in those days than at the present time.
The specimen is a good one, however,
and will be witnessed with as much
interest, as the present bull moose will
be witnessed many years hence.

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A FEW APPLICATIONS OF A SIM.
PIE REMEDY WILL BRING
BACK THE NATURAL
COLOR.

Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
will take its place" Is an old saying,
which is. to a great extent, true, if no
steps are taken to stop the cause.
When gray hairs appear it is q sign
that Nature needs assistance. 1t is
Natures call for help. Gray hair, dull,
lifeless hair, or hair that, is falling out,
is not necessarily a sign of advancing
age, for there are thousands of elderly
people with perfect heads of hair with
out a single streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems to be lifeless Of dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treat
ment should be resorted to an once.
Specialists say that one of the best
preparations to use is the old-fash-
ents used. The best preparation OF
this kind Is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, preparation Of domestic
sage and sulphur, scientifically COM
pounded with later discovered hair
tonics and stimulants. the whole mix
ture being carefully balanced and test
ed by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. 1t refreshes dry, parched hair,
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to it's natural
color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur al
once and see what a difference a few
days, treatment will make In your hair
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. Agents. Fout s. Porterfield.

Buchanan, the gentleman they run on
