GrinnsII ard Vicinity.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, March 16.-The supreme
court has handed down a decision that
dissolves the temporary and the per-
manent injunction against the city
proceeding with the construction of
the new west side sewer according to
the plans and specifications now In
possession Of the council. The re-
straining order issued some time ago
against the city, preventing the con-
tinuance of work on the sewer, is also
dissolved. In view of these decisions
of the supreme court the city council
announces it's intention of advertising
for bids for the construction of the
sewer and letting the contracts as soon
as possible. Against this is the suit In
equity Of d. w. Brainard which, it is
asserted, will be pushed to the ex-
tremity. Whichever way the old cat
jumps the incoming administration, in
the case of both mayor and council
men, will have no easy bed.
Today is witnessing one of the worst
mixed city primary fights the city has
ever had. Candidates are called upon
to express themselves on the sewer
question and also on that Of the paw
ing proposed last year. The opening
and paving Of Tenth avenue and Of
the road to the cemetery from the
north are live wires in this contest.
John Laros, the present mayor, f. J.
Hadley, DR.. L. G. Lemley. and, prob
ably, John C. ,Creamer, of the old board
are candidates for the new board and
mayorship. 1t is anybody's race to-
night until the votes are counted. The
election on the goth will probably be
a tame affair compared with the pri-
mary that decides who are to be candi-
dates.
At the annual meeting Of the stock
holders of the Farmers Elevator Com
pany on Saturday afternoon there was
extended discussion of prospects and
plans but no definite course of action
decided upon and adjournment was
taken until / o'clock on Friday after

ingS Bank.
The membership of the Christian
church of this city has secured Evan
gelist Dunkelberger to begin tomorrow
evening and carry on a series of re-
vival meetings for. the next ten days.
He has recently preached here and the
people are pleased with him and deem
this the best way to conserve the in
terests Of their church in caring for
those new converts in the union meet
ings just closed, that prefer church
membership there.

MYSTERIOUS STRANGER At FORT
DODGE PROVES TO BE JANE
SMITH.
PLACE OF RESIDENCE
NOT YET DETERMINED
Proves to Be Same Woman Held Some
Time at oskaIoosa Because Of Pc
cuIiar Actions At csnterviIIe
Notified-Triss to Bride Nurse to
Permit Her to Escape.

Fort Dodge, March 16.-The story of
the mystery woman is being gradually
unraveled, altho the facts found out so
far are meager. The name Of the wom-
an is Jane Smith but her address has
not yet been discovered. However the
address of her sister is known and let
ters informing the latter OF her sis
ter's location have been forwarded. No
answer had been received up to yester-
day afternoon.
Detective Wilkerson, a Burns man
who worked on the case, had met with
a little success and took his departure
from the city. The woman told him
the name of her sister but gave the
wrong address. She also told him
where she had put her railroad ticket
and the check for her suitcases. They
were found in the band Of her hat and
Omaha, where her suitcase was To-
Gated, was directed by wire to send
the case to Fort Dodge. 1t arrived
Sunday morning and contained infor-
nation that led to the Identification
of the woman. 1t also made those
working on the case believe that she
was mentally unbalanced.
An envelope was found that showed
that the woman had been arrested in
Oskaloosa on Jan. %. Several cakes of
beeswax were also <ound with minia-
ture animals that she had evidently
modelled out of the wax. Oskaloosa was
phoned Sunday and gave information
as to the name of the woman. The
authorities also corrected the address
Of the sister living at Centerville.
Mrs. or Miss Smith remains at the
Y. w. C. A. That she has great de-
sire to leave is evidenced by the fact
that she offered the nurse IS to assist
her out of the building and when re-
fused went as high as $500. Several
parties have been heard from in re-
gard to Identification but in all cases
nothing has developed. The picture
sent away by Detective Wilkinson was
not identified.
The detective thought the woman
was identified with gang Of swind-
lers recently operating in this section
but finally concluded that his theory
could not be proved. The woman is
probably insane.

LETTERS
Objects to Last Act of "outcast"

~ A~0SN nv Vi OdANdSl
To the Dramatic Editor:
The other night I attended a perform
ance Of "Outcast," by Henry Hubert
Davies and was struck by what seemed
TO me a most ineXcusable piece OF ex-
tremely bad construction in the play.
For the first three acts / was deeply
engrossed by the reality Of the people
on the stage. They rang true both in
words and action. OF course the latter
is due to the ability of the cast, especially
Miss Ferguson and Mr.. Powell. who Is
indeed a finished actor, but the credit for
the lines is Mr.. Davies. For three acts
the situations practically never grated on
my nerves.
The fourth act opened and seemed TO
promise equally well, the part where
Geoffry waits for Valentine being very
well done; but from the instant of her
entrance right up to the end of the play,
the whole structure weakened and plausi-
bility ceased. The lines are poor and the
resolution trite and unsatisfactory. Were
il not for flashes of really sincere acting
by Powell and Miss Ferguson the play
would be ruined.
believe the reason is that Davies wror.
