Franz Meyer, erstwhile of Chicago,
later of Oelwein and still more re-
Gently of Winnipeg, Manitoba, arriv-
ed in West Union Saturday evening
and is steady boarder with Sheriff
Clark in the county Jail where he is
presumed to remain till the Septem-
Der term of court when he will be
arraigned.
Mr.. Clark met the government Off
Ger and his prisoner at Minneapolis
last Saturday and accompanied them
to West Union. They did not pass
through Oelwein as expected, where
a large crowd had assembled at the
depot hoping to catch glimpse OF
the prisoner, but got off at Sumner
and drove across country to the coun-
ty seat. Meyer is taking his con-
finement in the county bastile phil
osophically and has little to say.
There has been no move to obtain
bail for him and unless his friends
come to his rescue he will put in the
summer months at the county hotel.
As before stated Meyer concluded
that it was not advisable to fight
extradition for the Canadian law is
much more severe than that of Iowa
and he will be tried here for abduc-
ton while in Winnipeg he would
have come up for a more serious Of
fense-one that might retire him
from circulation for life.-West I'm

joys Reunion With Relative
Whom She Thought Dead.

Ida Grove, Ia, June 22.-Joseph
Lindsey, brother of Mrs. Alex
Dalgetty, arrived here yesterday
from Ireland, and it was the first
time that they had seen each other
since 1872, when the brother enlist
ed in the English army for service
in Africa.
After several years service in Afri-
ca his regiment was sent to the In
dies and there the family lost all
track of him and shortly afterwards
moved to the United States. Through
a sister, Mrs. William Fair of Sioux
City, who visited the old home in Ire
land last year, he was able to trace
the family after a separation of for
ty-twC years.
There are three brothers, two liv-
ing in Canada, and one in Arthur,
this county, and three sisters, one
in Dakota, one in Sioux City and
Mrs. Dalgetty of this city. Mr.. Lind
sey is now past the three-Quarter GEN.
fury period of life, but withstood the
long journey from Ireland TO this
country remarkable well, and after
Incorporating expects to make visit
to all his brothers and sisters, and
thinks that eventually he will spend

MINISTER OPENS AGENCY.
Rev. Ely Austin of Mason City De.
sires to Assist Down and Out
Brothers by Encourage
ment.

Mason City, Ia, June 22.-The
great ambition and desire which
Rev. Ely Austin, city missionary,
has been cherishing for long time
has at last been realized when DR..
T. ]. Nichol gave him the use of an
Office room on Main street. Rev.
Austin has been attempting for a
long time to get such a room that
he might open a free employment
agency and help men who are out of
luck and out of work to find en-
ployment. He desires the coopera-
tion of the merchants of the city in
his work.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1914-06-24

Rev. Austin has one of the big
gest, kindest hearts in the world
and is devoting his life to helping
men who are in need. He has pull
ed more than one fellow out of the
depths of dependency and disap-
pointment and started him on a bet
ter road. Rev. Austin is Congrega-
tional minister. He works among
people who need friend, but whom
the world has turned against. He
holds services in the jail, he visits
poverty stricken homes and leaves
behind him hope and cheer. Rev.
Austin deserves the support of the
merchants and the ministers in his
work.

Freak Chick Only Lived One Week

Davenport, Ia, June 22.-For
seven brief days of wonderment a
little four-legged, buff-rock chicken
lived and scratched for worms with
the rest of the chickens belonging
to Mrs. Henry Veith, 1885 West
Seventh street. But during these
seven brief days of life this little
chick probably enjoyed the popu-
larity of more curious persons than
does the ordinary fowl in as many
years. Probably it was the popular
ity that killed it, anyway it died,
passing into the big Garden" or
the chickens great beyond.

Why PARIsIAn WoMEEs
SKINS ARE PERFECT

1t is remarked by every visitor to
the famous social center of the world
that the native ladies have clear, vel
vety skins of rare beauty. Inquiry
as to the reason illicits the informa-
tion that instead Of face powders they
use lotions. One that is decidedly
valuable can be made at home by dis
solving 4 ounces spurmax from the
drug store in either I-z pint hot water
or witch hazel to which is added 2
teaspoonfuls glycerine. This makes
an ideal lotion for summer use. The
spurmix lotion is great skin-cleanser
and beautifer, as il seems part of the
skin and dispels the rough, shiny, oily
condition. Its regular use will give to
the complexion a touch of refined ele-
gance impossible with powder or rouge.
