GIVEN TWENTY-FOUR
HOURS TO LEAVE CITY

Henry Henderson, colored, was in
police court this morning charged with
intcxication and keeping disorderly
house at Ut East Mill street. He
pleaded mot guilty to the charge, but
Henry was mighty glad to accept
Police Judge Emery's suggestion that
he shake the dust of Ottumwa from
his feet and never return. He was
warned that if he ever came back to
this city he would find a sentence Of
ten dollars or thirty days in jail
awaiting him. He promised to be out
in twenty-four hours. One other
drunk faced his honor and he was
given a sentence of ten dollars, sus-
pended.

SUSPECTED SLAYER
BROUGHT TO IOWA

Red Oak, July 10.-Sheriff O. E.
Jackson and County Attorney o. T.
Gillet arrived here today from To-
peka, Kas., bringing with them Will
liam Mansfield, suspected of murder
ing with an ak the Moore family in
Villisca, four years ago.
Mansfield was placed in the Mont
gomery county Jail to await his hear
ing. At the hearing before Gov. Cap
per in Topeka yesterday morning,
Mansfield tried to prove he> was en-
ployed in Illinois at the time of the
Villisca murder but evidence con-
vinced the governor that the prison
er's statements were conflicting and
extradition was granted.
Contrary to expectations, there
seems to be no unusual feeling over
his presence in Red Oak.

of the "amber fluid'. The young men
in the car were strangers in the COM
munity but they made themselves not
wanted also. One jumped down from
the car and grabbed hat from one oil
the Cambria boys, then Immediately
jumped back into the car and drove of
without there being time for any re.
monstrance. The strange car then drove
on toward Cambria but freight trair
was on the track and after waiting a few
minutes for freight to be unloaded anc
the train to move out of the way, the,
started up with such speed that all tn,
teams and autos that had gathered O,
the other side of the track had difficult,
in getting out of the way. Some wer,
obliged to drive on the railroad ties anc
others off the grading. The stranger
also stopped few minutes in Cambri;
and acted loud. They evidently needed
to "coeboled off, somewhere.

The Circus.

The Yankee Robinson circus,
which was advertised to show in
Butler Friday, arrived at II 80,
too late for street parade. They
seemed to be badly disorganized
and it was nearly three o'clock
before they got their tents up and
ready to give a show, and it was
not much Of show then. The
menagerie was small and aside
from a troupe of Japanese aero
bats the circus part did not
amount to much. The feature of
the show was q number Of per-
forming hogs. They looked like
a bunch of half starved Arkansas
hazel splitters but they were the
best act on the program.

Swat the Chigger.

Touch each chigger bite with a
brush that has been dipped in
iodine or apply strong solutions of
ammonia or common baking soda
after itching has begun. The bet
ter plan, of course, is to prevent
the chigger from getting afoot-
hold at all. This may be done in
a number of ways. A bath in hot
water with strong soap is very
good if taken Immediately after
passing through the shrubbery
and weeds from which the CHG
gers are picked up, but the best
real preventive is flowers of sui
fur rubbed all over the body, par
ticularly from the knees down.
The sulfur may be made to stick
better if mixed with little cold
cream and rubbed OIL. Hase-

Missouri for the Homeseeker.

The current issue of The South
west Trail a monthly farm paper
published by Rock Island Lines
is devoted to the advantages of
Missouri from the homeseeker
standpoint. 1t is pointed out that
no section of the country can Of
fer undeveloped farm lands in
such close proximity to large mar
kets as Missouri. Stress is laid
particularly upon the advantages
of the state for the little farmer on
a limited acreage in poultry pro-
duction, fruit and truck growing
and the like. Stories of success
on tracts Of from three to thirty
acres are interesting features of
the issue, which is well illustrated.
