A few weeks ago Martin and a.

Martin laughed. ~>'Think SO?
It's easy" 4
The friend became interested.
Probably not as easy as you
imagine. Could you drop out of ex-
istence?"
\ Now Martin is man of affairs
in three nations. He has tremend-
GUS business connections in America,
France and England. Yet he replied:
Eyes, I'll venture to say ] can lose
myself so completely that you could
never find me again until l said,
Kings X and came out of hiding"
This was few weeks ago. Now
the world is searching for Martin.
Three governments are leaving no
stone unturned to find him. Scot
land Yard, the French secret service
and the Burns agency are searching
every city, hamlet and seaport town
irving to connect the tangled threads
that may lead to the solution OF the
mystery. -.
Sedate London is agog over the
affair. Martin is py-go-lucky
chap, with plenty of money and IA
miliar with the art of spending it.

the Hotel Cecil. =

was young and beautiful, and rumors
said she was Brazilian.
Men of affairs paid court to her
and through them Martin came to
know her. He babe his friends good
bye and they left the hotel together.
AS Martin drove away he passed
out of the lives of his companions as
completely as if he had evaporated.
Five days later his torn pocket
book was found near the Thames.
The day following a cabman took
Martins evening hat to Scotland
Yard. .
His friends instituted a search that
has now taken a worldwide scope.
But Martin is still missing.
Murder?
Blackmail?
Suicide?
Or has the young clubman, in a
spirit of adventure, seized the oppor-
tunity to prove to his friend that it is
simple to drop out of sight to remain
hidden, despite the efforts of three
great governments?
If you know, it is worth $4,000
to you.
This is the reward that Martins
friends in Memphis, Tenn, >and Lon

In Regard to Paving

Some seem to have the
wrong idea in regard to paving
The plan followed by most of
the cities is for the paving dist
riot to pay the expenses Of the
paving. That is if the street
from Sixth to Second streets is
to be paved, that will constitute
the paving district and that
district will pay the bill. The
street intersection will be ap-
portioned to the property own
ers in the district and they pay
the bill. The same holds true of
curb and gutter. The property
in front of which the curb and
gutter passes is the property
which will have to stand the
expense.

A Pioneer Leaves

Mr.. Joe Rebehn is the
owner of 78O acres of land, 280
acres being an excellent farm
in Boomer township. The
place is we'll improved with
a large frame residence, good
barns and other out buildings,
and its we'll titled fields bring
ing forth rich crops.
Mr.. Rebehn was born in Han
over, Germany, Jan. %. 1863,
his parents being Martin and
Rebbecca Rebehn, who were
likewise natives of Germany.
Joe Rebehn, the only one tc
come to America, spent the
days of his boyhood and youth
in the fatherland; acquired his
early education in the public
schools and from 1874 until
1877 served in the regular
army according to the laws of
his native county. Mr.. Re
behn has always been a most
industrious man; worked upon
a farm in Germany until he
had saved enough money to
bring his family to America
where they believed that they
might enjoy better business op-
portunities and more quickly
secure success. He sailed with
his family from the native land
for the United States in 1883,
making their way at once to
Pottawattamie county, la.
Mr.. Rebehn recently left for
his beautiful home of 500 acres
in Minnesota, known as one of
the finest farms in Ottertail
county of Minnesota, where he
will spend his time in the flu
ture. Mr.. Rebehn was we'll
liked among the business PEG
pie of Mo. Valley who were
sorry to see him leave, for he
was honest in all his dealings
and he leaves this country with
a signature of "Honest," which
makes many q man shake.

ACCUSED OF WIFE MURDER.

Springfield, O., March 5.-Public in
terest in the case of DIR. Arthur B.
Smith, who is under indictment for the
alleged murder of his wife, was re-
vived today, when the case was called
in court for trial. Strenuous efforts
are being made by the defense to Sc
cure further delay. DR.. Smith, mem
Der of prominent family and a psysi-
clan in good standing, was arrested
on November 22 last on a charge OF
having poisoned his first. wife, who
died suddenly on March 1S, 1912. The
action of the physician in wedding
Miss Mabel Merchant, a nurse, in a
local hospital, within a few months
after the death of his first wife aroused
public suspicion. The remains of the
dead woman were exhumed and a
chemical examination made of the
contents of the stomach. The result
was that the physician was indicted
on a charge of having caused his
wife's death by administering cyanide
in a cup of. cocoa.
