DETECTIVES AFTER
MURDEROUS SECT

Council Bluffs, Aug. 10;-From
psychological standpoint as we'll al
from the prosecutors viewpoint, the
jarrest of Seward or Sawyer, at Clar
linda and who was yesterday held by
United States Commissioner Hanna
Of Creston to the federal grand jury
has q peculiar interest and two detec.
tives in Denver who have been work
ing on the solution of the Villisca and
other similar crimes, and who hold to
the belief that the murderer In each OF
these cases is q member OF sect
which demands the blood atonernent.
are coming to Iowa to look Seward
over, to interview him and determine
in their minds what, Of any, relation
Seward bears to the Denver sect
The claims Of the Denver secret ser.
vice men are borne out by numerous
incidents occurring in connection with
the crime, and 1t Is confidently believ-
ed that the army Of detectives who
are at work on the Villisca murders
have at last hit upon real and possi-
BILE solution of the crime, and that II
the murderer has not yet been appre-
hended, he will be ere long.
That there is religious sect in
Denver who cry out for the blood
atonement, and who believe that by
Staying and human sacrifice they will
be blessed, Is the Denver theory and
belief. A half dozen crimes of sim
liar character. committed In various
parts of the country, are now charged
to this sect and the actual murders
are believed by the Denver police to
have been committed by some religi-
GUS fanatic, a member Of this strange
creed. Crimes similar to the eight
murders at Villisca were done at Colo
rad Springs, Colo; Ellsworth, Kan;
Monmouth, ILL.,; Rainier, Ore, and one
or two other places.

QUIT CAL0MEu
Thousands Are Turning From This
Dangerous Drug.
A Safe Vegetable Substitute is Olive
Tablets for the Liver.

DR.. F. M. Edwards, a prominent
physician Of Ohio, has discovered a
new laxative and liver toner in a com
bination of vegetable materials, mixed
with olive oil, which is IN effect al
most exactly like the old and I'M
trustworthy calomel, except that there
are none of the bad after effects of
calomel.
DR.. Edwards has long been a foe of
calomel, though he recognized its value
along with its dangers.
His distrust of the uncertain drug
eventually started him years ago to-
wards experiments with the view of
discovering a substitute, and he is to-
day in possession of the long sought-for
combination, which is in the shape of
a little sugar-eoated, olive-oil colored
tablet.
The results of II years. experience
and practice are embodied in these
marvellous little tablets.
They are called Dr.. Edwards Olive
Tablets. They oil the bowels, and their
effect on the liver has been the means
of relief to many of DR.. Edwards reg
ular patients as well as to thousands of
others who have suffered and were
afraid of calomel.
They are gentle in their action, YET
always effective. They bring about thai
exuberaace of spirit, that natura.
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of harmful i'm
purities. 10c and Csc per box.

Following q visit Of County Super
intendent H. Brewster Willis, of
schools, to the local high school and
grammar, he has complimented Prin-
cipal Deviney and his corps of teach
ers on the excellent conditions pre-
vailing. To offset this compliment he
had some criticism to make owing to
the over-crowding of the scholars in
the lower grades of the grammar de-
partment. This matter is difficult to
remedy owing to the scarcity of room
as there Is a teacher to each grade.
He also gave it as his opinion that
the state school money about which
there was some doubt as to Its being
released would soon be available.
Among the recent visitors at the
local high school were Mrs. Charles
Moose of Half Acre, Mrs. George Da-
Vison, Mrs. H. Duncan and MIR. and
Mrs. DR.. j. c. Crandall of Old Bridge,
who are interested In pupils in at
tendance. The visit of those inter-
ested in school work is always well
coined by thep rincipal Of the local
schools, as nothing has a greater in
huence on the pupils work than to
have the parents show their interest
with occasional visits.
