OLD MAN HELD
AS A SUSPECT

Marshalltown, June 26.-Working on
the theory that possibly an old man
picked up in the country the other day
by the sheriff's officers may be the one
who is wanted for the murder of the
eight members Of the Moor household
at Villisca, Sheriff Nicholson Is going
to hold the man until he can be photo
graphed and the likeness sent to the
Villisca authorities.
The old man, who is IS, and appears
to be demented, refuses to give his
name, tell where he came from, or &C
count for himself in any way. He
pretends not to be able to understand,
or to read or write, and yet he had two
lead pencils in one of his pockets.
On one sleeve of the old coat the
man wore is a dark stain which the
sheriff is satisfied is blood. The sher-
If Is inclined to believe that the man
is shamming insanity, and for that
reason is holding him until he can
clearly establish his identity. The
stranger, who has been booked as
John Doe, on charge Of vagrancy, is
large of stature and strong for a man
of his years.

ton has been ordered by the city
council for Thursday, July 18, for the
purpose of granting the Southern Iowa

tracks to the public square OF the city

current for interurban cars. This Is the

land of New York. Then contemplate
putting on an interurban service be-
tween the two cities and establishing
fine park on the Charlton river four
! miles north of Centerville. An option
has been taken on twenty-eight acres
of land for that purpose. The city at
the same time it passed the ordinances
granting the franchise also passed a
resolution of necessity providing for
paving to the present depot of the
company, which will be continued as
freight depot There is raise of
sixty-five feet from the depot to the
square, which makes it impracticable
to run freight up town. Steam service
will be continued for freight, while
electric power will be used for the
passenger service
This will make the second inter-
urban line into Centerville. The Cen

It spread fast from between the fingers around the nails and all over the whole hands. got pair of rubber gloves in order to wash dishes. Then 1t spread all over the left side of my chest. A fine doc tor treated the trouble two weeks, but did me no good. I cried night and day. Then l decided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment but without much hope as l had gone so long. There was a marked change the second day, and so on until I was entirely cured. The Cuticura Soap we have always kept in our home and we decided after that lesson that 1t is a cheap soap in price and the very best in quality.

Remarkably Sound Advice for the Woman Who Has Some Years
 of Life to Her Credit.

The way to ward of old age Is not to fear 1t, not to allow ones self to be oppressed by the dread of advan- cling years. Use only legitimate pre- ventives and avoid trying experiments with preparations not lndorsed by physicians. Do not wear toilettes in tended Tor young girls. they only add years to the appearance. Keep up your interest in the young, but do not envy them. Retire with dignity from the struggle, do not pose as your daughters rival Above all, surround your life with sweet, true affections which prevent the heart from growing bitter. Do not lose interest In the growing events of the day; do not fall behind tho times and do not harp on other and better days. To those who come to you for advice be always kind and sympathetic. As you advance in years preserve carefully your personal appearance, for once lost 1t may not be regalned save by strenuous effort Your costumes should be simple and unpretenticus. yet graceful.
