Rich Old Man is
>Sent to an Asylum
Week After He Weds

Attorneys representing the rela-
tives of Daniel -Reifel, 81 years old,
wealthy Red Oak, Ia, retired mer-
chant, are in Omaha for the purpose
of filing an application seeking to
annul his marriage with Ida Blanche
Doctor, So years old, which took place
here October IL last, according TO
Clyde Sundblad, clerk of the county
court
One of the attorneys visited the
county judges office Saturday morn
ing and told Mr.. Sundblad that the
Red Oak man was incompetent and
had married here about two months
after his former wife died. The Iowa
lawyer declared that it has been nee
essary to appoint a guardian for Mr..
Reifel several times.
The marriage ceremony in Omaha
was performed by Rev. Oliver D.
Baltzly, pastor of the Kountze Me-
mortal church.
Mr.. Reifel is said to be very wealthy
and to have palatial mansion. in Red
Oak.
According to the Red Oak authori-
ties, Mr.. Reifel's eccentric actions a
week after his last marriage resulted
in the sheriff being called to the
home. The retired merchant locked
himself in the cellar of the house, it
is said, and it was necessary for the
sheriff to handcuff him.
He was taken before the insanity
board, which deferred action on his
case, and Mr.. Reifel is now in pri-
vste hospital at Des Moines, accord
ing to information from Red Oak.

In the course of discussion in the
Prussian diet on the question of an
increase in the salaries of minor off

according to the Vorwaerts, attacked
those who were receiving great war
profits, while the mass of the people

The deputy quoted the cases OF
minor railway officials who were not
only on short commons, but were suf-
fering from hunger, their income not
being sufficient to buy their allotted
amount of food. The speaker con-
cluded:,

Producers Suffer
From Wastage and

Chicago, Dec. Cattle raisers,
Economists of the colleges and the
government, plain farmers and mar
keting experts, to the number of 500,
who have been holding the fourth ma
tional conference on marketing and
farm credits here, completed their
labors today. K
They took up problems involving
farm finance, putting the landless man
on the manless land, efficient mar
keting, conservation and rural devcf.
opment, and suggested remedial pro-
cedure in resolutions adopted this
afternoon. /.
Resolutions and speeches showed
that the actual growers of grain, cat.
tie, fruits and vegetables believe they
are not obtaining proper returns for
the labor and investment, because
they are not organized and do not
work comparatively; that the waste
by present methods, or, the lack Of
them, is of appalling magnitude and
makes it easy for the legion of mid
dlemen to initiate the cost of living;,
that Europe has much to teach US
about cooperative agriculture, and
that it is up to congress to study the
whole situation and apply remedies
accordingly.

Reports to the Department of JUS

spread existence OF combinations OF
brokers and dealers in foodstuffs and
coal to force prices upward Most Of
these alleged combinations were said
to be local in character. AL, data con-
cerning them will probably be SUBJ

In addition to grand jury investi-

to send committees from all the

to show them the philosophy of love.
"If the doctrine of love that Christ
teaches can regenerate the individual
so that the stagnant pool of his soul
can be changed into a bubbling spring,
it is not worth while for the churches
TO try it OIL the warning nations?
"If our government cannot bring
about peace, then let the churches try.
Let these committee that go to the
warning capitals of Europe take
bounteous gifts with them that may be
distributed among the sorrowful and
suffering Let us show our love for
them in this manner. If the churches
will take the lead in this way, it may
be the means OF stopping the war, and
that would be one Of the greatest
achievements in history"
