out OF town Sunday school to report
definitely that 1t will come to Ottum.

school is planning to be represented
by four hay rack loads of young PEG.
pie. This was reported at the meet
ing of chairmen of committees at the
Y M. c. A. last evening. 1t Is ex.
pected that other county schools will
be heard from this week.
Judging by last nights meeting
there are thousand and one prob
lens to be solved in connection with
the big doings scheduled for a
week from Wednesday. General
Chairman Holloway called on each
division chairman to report progress
and plans in his division to date.
Those so reporting were John K. Ma.

Sundberg. program and sports; A. B.
Osler, grounds and accommodations; ;
F. F. Bridgeman, transportation; BY.
ron A. Barlow, publicity and invita-.
ton. The committee on grounds has
experienced much difficulty in finding
a suitable place for the picnic. Cald.
we'll park is being considered but the
many objections to this ground are
leading the committee to look else
where in the hopes OF locating bet
ter place. The committee expects to
decide tonight just where the picnic
will be held after visiting several
grounds this afternoon.
The commissary committee has de-.
cided that the supper will be served
by classes, each class to furnish It's
own provisions. This committee re-
quests that each teacher should pro-
vide large basket in which all the
provisions for his or her class shall
be placed. These baskets should be
delivered to the commissiary commit
tee at the city park when a claim
check will be given for each basket,
and the baskets will be conveyed to-
the picnic ground by the committee.
Free, lemonade checks will be handed
to each young person in the parade.
The commissary representative In
each school may secure these chesks
from the chairman Of the committee
at the Longfellow book store early
next week. Coffee will be served on
the grounds by the quart or cup and
classes desiring coffee must provide
their own pitchers, cups, etc.
Much other business was transacted
at last nights meeting looking to the
success Of the Sunday school parade
and picnic.

WANTS her BABY
MRS. HARRY COIN ASKS SHERIFF
TO MAKE FURTHER ENDEAVoRs
70 LOCATE HUSBAND.

Grieved almost to distraction over
the loss OF her four months old baby.
taken by her husband when he left
her ten days ago Mrs. Harry Cohn
urged Sheriff William E. Knox this
morning to make q more vigorous
search. Her poor health com bined
with the worry over her loss and her
dependency on the county for support.
has thrown her into despair and her
only desire now is to have her baby
in her arms once more. The county
and city authorities have searched for
Harry Cohn without success and IN
less he appears where outside officers
are watching for him. their further ef-
forts would prove unavailing.
Mrs. Cohn is in very poor health:
On Sunday, August II, her husband
came to her and told her to dress baby
and he would take the child for a ride.
Suspicioning nothing and realizing It
would be healthful for the child as well
as relieve her of it's care for several
hours, Mrs. Cohn placed her baby's
best clothing on the infant While
she was engaged in this her husband
managed to get the rest OF the
clothing. When she placed the baby
in it's buggy, it was for the last time.
The husband drew about 5000 from the
bank and took the baby and left the
city. The shock of the separation
from her baby caused the mother to
take to her bed When she had sufh-
ciently recovered, she went to Chicago
in the hope Of finding her child at the
home of Mr.. COINS relatives, But
he had not been there. Returning,
she was forced to ask the county lot
help, while friends gave her place
to stay. Unable to endure the sus-
pense any longer. she called up the
Office this morning to see II
they had arrested her husband. When
she was answered negatively. she
urged them to find her baby at least.
The onlcers can do nothing further
They have notified officials in numer-
GUS towns where Cohn might go.

HARRY JOHNSON FOUND TO BE
IN TOO SERIOUS CONDITION
TO GO HOME.

Despite the pleadings of a father
and the heart-yearnings of an aged
mother. Harry Johnson was sent to
the Mt. Pleasant hospital by the board
Of commissioners of the insane, yes
terday afternoon They found his
mind to be in too serious condition
to permit him to be taken to the par

placed him in Mt. Pleasant that he
may receive the best of treatment and
perhaps be cured of his malady. The
commission deemed it best for all con-
cerned that he should be taken away
from his parents.

board yesterday morning. He had
been sent to the Wapello county home
but escaped from there and wandered
all day and all night, getting but six
miles away from the home. His
father asked him to be brought to OF
tumwa, that he might take him home
and place him under the care OF the
family physician whose services were
to be paid for by help of friends. The
ia Their appeared before the board and
asked that he be allowed to take his
son for the sake of a mother who is
still grieving over the loss of her old
est daughter, only two weeks ago.

and still respect the wishes of the par
ents, the board adjourned until after

the loss of her son very hard but her
friends are trying to convince her that
such a course is the best.

IN MEMORIAM.

George Forester Dawson was born
in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1882 and
came with his parents to make Of
tumwa his home in 1896 After pass
ing through the grammar grades OF
the public schools successfully, he
entered the high school for two years
work, when the call to a boy, early
grown to the mind and spirit Of the
man, took him into the Shops and
factories of the city to work.
He was worthy helper in num-
Der of business places before he en-
tered the service of the Ottumwa Iron
Works as an apprentice to the pat
tern maker That he has served 1t
we'll for eight years of almost contin-
uous service is proven by his recent
promotion to the position Of head
pattern-maker in the Ottumwa Iron
Works.
His efficient service in his early
employment is only one item Of life
well rounded out in the few years CIV
en- to him.
BY the death Of his father, just
eight years to the hour earlier than
his own, he took the place Of care
taker for mother, sister and two
younger brothers, whose grief Is soft
ened by the sympathy and tears Of
many friends in every part of the city.
During the pastorate Of DR.. A. E,
Craig, he united with the First Meth
odist Episcopal church, where he has
been a consistent and faithful wor-
shipper and worker since. He was one

the Young Mems Christian associa-

himself with the socialist party,
where he was found for good rea.

FRANK w. SIMMONS WRITES OPEN LETTER
TO GEO w. PERKINS ON "INTERVIEW."

The following open letter addressed
to George W. Perkins and written by
Frank w. Simmons is self explana-
tory:
Ottumwa, Ia., Aug. 20, 1912.
Mr.. George w. Perkins,
New York City, N. Y.
Dear Sir:
Your interview" in the Chicago
Tribune Of August 10 has arrested my
attention and suggests question or
two to my mind. Your selection Of the
Tribune for your confession Of faith"
is entirely consistent and no doubt will
be read widely as you probably intend
ed this Interview" to receive the wild.
est circulation because Of the
Tribune's partisan bias and your de-
sire to reach innocent voters in behalf
of the bull moose party and your
former protector, Mr.. Roosevelt. The
one question asked you which you
probably propounded yourself and are
made to answer yourself. is the one
thing which staggered my Imagination
If the newspapers have suoted you cor
rectly you have heretofore stated that
there would be ample funds for the
election Of Mr.. Roosevelt" In the
Tribune article you refer to your
ability to raise these funds and you
are now chairman Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
executive committee in raising these
funds. Your words follow:
why does Perkins do it?' This is
the question that many Of my friends
are asking. I can answer 1t in few
words: Money Is not all In my life. l

Before Given Trial.

In an address before the Commercial
association this noon Mayor Frank c..
Norton of Burlington, told of the diff
ference between the commission plan
Of city government and the old plan
OF ward aldermen. The various de-
partments Of city government were
represented at the meeting as guests
OF the association and at the close OF
the address countless questions were
asked the speaker in regard Ito the
various phases Of the commission plan.
The occasion was the regular weekly
luncheon meeting of the directors Of
the Commercial association and Presi-
dent N. F. Reed suspended the regular
business in order that the meeting
might hear Mr.. Norton.
The Burlington executive under the
commission plan has seen service un-
der the old plan of city government in
various capacities and was well quail
fed to talk interestingly and enlighten
his hearers on comparison Of the two
systems as experienced thus far in
Burlington He stated among other
features of the commission plan, that
party politics are obliterated from the
elections and that ward lines are de-

plan centers the responsibility on the
several officers making them subject

to enc ward or branch of the public.
The trend was said by Mayor Nor

OF city affairs by the new system is
more in keeping with the methods
adopted by successful business houses
In managing their affairs. He said that
for the first time in the history of the
city of Burlington, that city. was Sc

Find Coal Near kioWa.

Kiowa, Okla, May 1.-TWO four
foot veins of coal, one Immediately
above the other with only a few feet
of dirt and rock between, We're struck
on T. ID. Bells farm, two miles wesr
OF Kiowa today, at shallow depth,
and the quality of the black diamond
is said to be very fine.
1t is believed by the experienced
miners who are operating the mine
that the two veins will eventually, at
no great depth, run together, making
an eight-foot vein of high grade coal.
Mr. Bell thinks that the vein or veins
of coal, which extends entirely
through the 5O0acre farm, is reason
ably worth one million dollars.
