Ida Grove April 1.-THE mystery
surrounding the disappearance Of Cros-
bic Hewitt, young man of this COM
munity. was cleared up by telegram
yesterday afternoon announcing ms
death in a hotel in ST. Louis. The
telegram was sent TO his parents, ana
beyond the statement that he had died
from heart failure. no other news was
conveyed TO the stricken relatives. Mr.
and Mrs. William Hewitt, parents OF
the dead boy, were pioneer farmer
residents Of this county, and last fan
C'rosbie vas sent to this city TO enter
the public schools. He was is years OF
age large for his size. and did not want
TO enter school as he would be COM
PEELED 10 enter classes that contained
much younger students. However, nc
enrolled. and when the athletes LETT the
first evening OF school for their hrst
tryout on the grounds in the city park,
he went along. but shortly afterwards
isappeared. and for number OF
weeks was unheard from.
4 search was made in the city OF
every possible place where ne could
have disappeared, as he vas subject TO
attacks OF heart trouble, but 1t was
several weeks before any trace couid
be found Of him, and that came in the
way OF postal card from him SEM
from town in Illinois and sent to his
mother. No other information as to
what he was doing or where he was
located was received until the telegram
was received Yesterday afternoon.
His treatment at home was all that
could be desired by a boy OF his age,
and his disappearance came near being
the death of his mother as she is sub
ject 10 heart trouble and she contended
from the first that he had been stricken
in some out OF the way place and
therefore d search of the city and the
country surrounding was made at the
time OF his disappearance. Since leaV-
lng LA Grove Mr.. and Mrs. Hewitt
have left their farm home in Hayes
township and are non residents Of this
city. The body will pc brought here

II is clair!ed by NJ. c. Aurner, who IS
;,rrpu:ing history of eiues.tion II
Iowa under the direction Of me stat:
Historical Society. that the first school
within the limits OF the present state OF
Iowa was private school taught in
Lee county in 1880 by Bergman Jen-
nings. The date seems improbable, as
the first settlements in southeastern
Iowa were not made until the treaty
with the Sac and Fox Indians became
effective in 1888. Mr. Aurner VIII be
expected TO furnish evidence to sustain
his date. The first school house in
Iowa. so far as is known. was built ir
Dubuque in 1888 and the first teacher
was George Cabbage. A school was
opened at about this same time and q
building was erected in 1884. Aftel
that time schools multiplied rapidly ir
number as settlers poured into the Iowa
country. But. strange as 1T may seem
1t was not until 1858 that the system Of
free public schools supported by gen
eral property taxation. were established
Before that time the schools were SUI,
ported by the so-called subscription
method, the entire expenses being paie
by those who patronized the schools.

End Liver Trouble

iutsly Unnecessary.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for ca!omcl-are the mild
est but surest laxative known, and
their effect on the liver is almost in
Simultaneous. They are the result of
DR.. Edwards determination not to
treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. DR.. Edwards has been cal
omels uncornpromising foe. His ef-
forts to Danish It brought out these
little olive oil coloreo tablets. a rare
combination o: vegetable compounds
mixed with olive oil. These pleasant.
harmless little tablets do all the good
that calomel does but have no bad az
ter effects They don't inture the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense OF the teeth? Gallo
mel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best
, not to take calome! a, all. but to let
Olive Tablets take their place.
Most headaches, "dul!ness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and a disordered liver. Take Olive
Tablets when you feel "Ioggy" and
