 Good night he repeated. T would have spared you, Robertson. But you would have it."
 And he was gone. His words had fallen on deaf ears. The men were leaning forward eagerly to catch Grace's first syllable.
 And now Mark demanded. as his wife still hesitated, who is she. Grace?"
 Blake had forestalled her answer. He crossed the room to the telephone

 What are you going to do?" queried Van Dyke. who had dropped back in his chair a few moments earlier, talk ing no longer even passive part in the scene.
 I'm going to phone Gregg to let the house know the whole story; names, dates and all. By the time I get on the wire Grace will have told"
 Hold on, Jim," objected Van Dyke. Not yet"
 Not yeti" What dye mean? Why not? We're almost against the ropes over there at the capitol. This is our last punch and it's going to be a knockout"
 Wait. Jimis begged Van Dyke. 'Wait till you hear the name"
 We've got the name. Grace is go, ing to tell us"
 You've got it, yes. Bat you can't use it, Jim"
 Blake, telephone instrument in hand passed to glare down in angry amaze. ment at the saturnine lawyer who so calmly opposed him in the hour of victory.

 He took the receiver from the hook. But Van Dyke, with peremptory ges- ture, halted him.
 Wait, I say!" ordered the lawyer. "Neligan. go downstairs and get rid of that officer. And don't come back"
 "Go with him, Tom," whispered Wanda. For my sake. You don't want to hear the name"
 You're right" assented Tom, fol- lowing in Neligan's wake. Its none of my business. Now that you are safe"
 The door closed behind the two de- parting men.
 Come. Grace" prompted Mark. "Who is sheg"
 Grace's lips paled. But they were dry and cracked. Her tongue would not stir.

 In his harsh eagerness, Mark forci- tly lifted his wife's bent head and forced her eyes to meet his.
 Whats the matter?' he demanded sharply. "Why don't you speak? Tell Van Dyke he lies. Tells him he lies, I say! Oh!"
 His fierce appeal broke of in a cry of pain. He had at last raised her face and had read 1t. For the briefest moment he stood stupefied, expression less. Then, cautiously. half-cringing- ly, as if expecting blow, he moved back to Van Dyke.
 Why, Grace!" expostulated Blake, in pitiful bravado You're crazyi You don't know what you're implying what you're letting them think. I won't believe it, Not a word of 1t. It's a trick to-to-'

 Blake's legs gave way and he sprawled inert into a chair, his head on his breast. He had all at once grown old-very, very old. Meantime, Robertson had forced his own dazed brain back into a semblance of it's former strong control.
 Wan Dyke" he said as calmly as if he were giving a routine order, you will have every trace of this story de- stroyed tonight It must never get beyond this room. I can count on you?"

 There was no hint in his voice or In his manner that Marks command entailed the defeat of bill, the col lapse of millions of dollars worth of stocks, a probably panic on Wall street and the money interests total if temporary loss of power in con

 On his way from the room, Van Dyke paused beside Blake's chair. "Jim," he said hesitatingly. "Tm go ing over to the capitol. Shall I tell Mullins to Jet the bill come to a voter"

Is no way of knowing.
Senator Kenyon had no comment to

Ida County Women Heirs Of UncI,

Special to Times Repu blican.
Ida Grove Jan. 2S.-An estate in
Texas left by an uncle, Of whom the
relatives had heard nothing for nearly
thirty years, is soon to be settled, and
two Ida county women will benefit
thereby. Some thirty years ago T. B.
Casey, then a resident of the eastern
part Of the state, went to Texas, locat-
ing near Waco and taking up land and
branching out as cattle baron. Later
he went into the sheep industry, and
two years ago died without any of
his relatives knowing Of his demise.
Recently, Mrs. W. S. Young, of this
county, and J. B. Boughton, who mar
ried another niece, We're asked to give
the power Of an attorney to a repre-
sentative Of other heirs located in the
state to settle the estate. However,
the Ida county heirs will take the mat
ter, up themselves, and sent an attor-
ney down to look up the situation.
For a number of years the man who
is now dead wrote to one sister and
his letters always pointed toward pros
perfty, and that he was heavily inter-
ested In cattle and sheep raising own
ing vast tract of land in the vicinity
Of Waco. However, the Ida county rel
atives know nothing about his finan-
cial circumstances and are not expect
ing to inherit any great sum, as there
are a large number Of relatives In
other parts Of the state.

He has worked for over year on

From the windows OF this 'hoter'

hundreds Of inhuman. stuffy cells IN
which men have lived and died. The
same scene is that from which Gen

fifty-one years ago.

Al Jennings, once noted train robber

JAMi EsoN,s HAT IN RING.
Will Be Candidate For Senator Before
Democratic Prjmarjes.

Des Moines, Jan. 2s.-Hon. w. D.
Jamison Of Shenandoah will be a
candidate for United States senator on
the democratic ticket at the June pri-
maries. according to dopesters. Mr..
Jamfson has been one of the leaders
of the democratic party in Iowa for a
number Of years. He was a member Of
the state senate for several terms and
later was elected congressman from
the Eighth district. Early in the 1912
presidential campaign he was booster
for Clark as against Wilson, but was
one Of the earliest Of the Clark leaders
in the state to board the Wilson band
wagon.
Mr.. Jamison occupied his seat in the
state senate during the Thirty second
and Thirty third general assemblies. In
1909 he resigned to take his seat in
congress. He is publisher Of the Shen-
andoah World, and one Of the best
known newspaper men of the state.

to the campaign, especially in the
southern part Of the state, where he is
very popular.

Banks.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. EST may be that
after all the banks organized under
Iowa law will be permitted to buy
stock in the federal reserve banks.
A careful reading Of the code fails
to show any direct prohibition Of such
action. The basis for the ruling Of the
banking department lies in the provi-
sion as to savings banks which de-
fines what securities are suitable for
investment of their funds and this does
not include stocks Of national banks.
But under recent court rulings the
tendency has been to regard the federal
law as superior to state law in all
cases. so that the federal law permit
ting state organized banks to join the
system would prevail over any state
law which seemingly would forbid such
alliance of the state and national
banks. This may be the line OF rea.
soning by which the state organized
banks will get in.
But there are said to be other things
in the federal reserve act which, in case
a state organized bank should Join,
would operate to nullify state laws, as
for instance in regard to rediscOunts
which are limited under state law and
unlimited as to federal law. The state
banking department is trying to work
out all these matters and arrive at
definite understanding as to what Iowa
banks can or can not do In connection
with the federal reserve act.

knookers Blamed In Large Part for
Heavy Losses Thru Swine Plague
Quote. Fioures 70 Show Losses in
Herds Treated Were 10 Per Cent
Aoainst 90 Per Cont Of Untreated.

Davenport Jan. GS-G. H. bAsS' VI
the Scott County Farm Improvement
League, issued the following statement
relative to the attacks made on the
serum treatment for hog cholera at the
Walcoxt institute by Dr. Vo!lstedt:
"The league wishes to refute the ar
s,,ment brought forward by DR.. Voll-
stedt at the Friday evening session
of the Walcott institute IN regard 10
the use OF serum for hog cholera. II
is very unfortunate that serum mas
had 50 many enemies who take de-
light in pointing out Its weak spots'
The very fact that there are so many
who haven't faith in it and who go
to unfair measures very often, weak
ening the faith OF others, mas peeh
responsible for nine-tenths OF all the
bad results which have been obtained.
eft In lust such talks as DR.. Voll-
etedt's and others whom the writer
has encountered at various Institutes
especially men interested in the sale
of various worm remedies and cond.-
ton powders, that has made the farmer
hesitate and postpone the treating un-
til the pigs were too sick to get sood
results.
I'VE wish to state empha tically that
very few herds treated at the outbreak
of the disease gave disappointing re-
suits. It was only in those herds where
the disease had been running from four
DAVIS to three weeks that the majority
of the hogs died.
1--WE wish to state again that while
1929 hogs were treated in the coun-
ty, only 3.249, or 10 per cent, were lost
and that In these same herds where
hogs were left untreated SO per cent
were lost. OF the herds treated thirty
nine were very sick and in these the
loss was about Ga per cent In the
100 we'll herds the loss was compare
lively light. We have the strongest
argument one could advance to prove
conclustvely the value of serum and it
10 very foolish for any one to seek to
disprove this fact
we wish also to state that we can
not be responsible for all the mistakes
made by veterinarians and that the
majority Of these sick herds should not
have been treated and would not if
the league had been consulted in re-
gard to the matter.
"As far as the thirty-nine sick herds
are concerned, there were only about
fourteen or fifteen OF this number
where the serum did not save enough
hogs to pay for itself. in spite Of the
fact that It is q preventive and not a
cure. In no case were their owners
urged to treat but they were advised
to do so in some cases. From the
start we have sought only to present
the truth and give the farmer an ac-
curate idea as to the charges Of saving
his herd.
"The league Is going to have big
conference at 2 p. m. Feb. 20 to out
line plans for the complete control Of
hos cholera during the coming wear
and all those who are interested. farm
ers as we'll as veterinarians, are In
Tted to attend"
