that 1t is necessary to have an italian
detective handle tho affair. If q Ger
man is the principal factor in . case<
then a German detective covers It. and
the same is true of spaniards. Nor-
wegians. Swedes and every other ma
tionality. Women are employed to OBJ
tain evidence In offices. boarding houses
and apartments. but when there is
grave and apparent danger connected
with the case 1t is given to a man.
Thus when a nty-flve-thousand-
dollar ROBBERY occurred one 0ay anu
Mrs. Goodwin was called to cover the
case she was agreeably surprised. since
it was her ambition to work on bigger
things. A bank clerk and a messenger
carrying a bag containing $4,000 in a
taxicab were attacked and the money
taken away from them. A glimpse OF
disappearing taxicab speeding In the
other direction was the only clue turn
ed in at detective headquarters. The
detective authorities. however. had oc-
casion to suspect two men OF the
theft-men who already were we'll .
known and much desired at headQuar-
ters for various other crimes. It also
was known that these men freQuented
boarding house in a downtown street.
where they planned their crimes with
two women Of equally desperate char
acter. 1t became Mrs. Goodwins task,
therefore. to gain access to this board
ing house and to obtain evidence that
these men had committed the taxicab

Fjshlines Sixty Miles Long.

The most of the halibut are caught
with the hook and line. The fishing.
however, has nothing gamy or sport
ing about it. The lines are dropped
down into the sea in such way that
the baitcd hooks rest Oh the bed OF the
ocean. The lines arc of great length.
Some of them are sixty miles long.
When loaded with fish it takes the
steam engine on the vessel the better
part of day to wind them up. They
are divided into sections, each section
having Il float or buoy that rests on
the surface and is marked by flag
in the daytime and at night by a light.
The line lies right on the bed Of the
sea. Attached to it are hundreds Of
hooks, and each hook is baited. The
halibut swallows the bait and is caught
on the hook and held there until the
line is drawn up. These fish always
feed on or close to the bed Of the
ocean.-Christian Herald.

Scientists have never explained to
their satisfaction the light known)pop-
ularly as the "will-o'-the-w isp" and
also known as ignis fatuus. Thetphe-
nomenon has been attributed to the
combustion Of earbons and sulrhurs
ignited by sulphureted hydrogen. This
theory has been shown to be a faillacy
by persons who have passed their
hands through the so called fire, and
felt no heat. The strange fire flies
fastest over cemeteries and over low
lands and swamps when no wind is
blowing. Superstitious persons attrib-
ute the Pickering fires to the souls of
the dead. The most plausible theory
Is that the phenomenon is due to ra-
dio-active emanations rising from be-
meath the ground.-Harpers.

| by Denison People.

Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith. one of the
ablest women of Iowa. spoke at the
Methodist church in this city Monday
evening. Her subject was the pro
posed amendment to the constitution
allowing women the right to vote. Her
presentation of the matter was clear
and fOrceftll She swept aside the
usual worn out arguments against
women by calling to mind that these
had been used at all steps where her
sex asked advancement. There had
been opposition when they asked sep.

of Iowa would come up to the require

did not claim that giving the ballot to
women would cure all the vexing prob
lens of today as both men and women
are human, but she did urge that the
tendency would be toward better con.
ditiOns.
Mrs. Wise made strong showing
when reciting the history of enacted
legislation Which the woman had
championed. and which came after
many years, when if they had had the
ballot, reforms would have taken place
at once. She spoke for two hours,
holding the rapt attention Of the peO-
pie. The musical numbers by the
young women added much to the meet

now no doubt that the voters OF Iowa

POOR HEALTH
CAUSES SUICIDE
Body Of Mrs. John Soenksen Found
Suspended From Rather in Ma.
chine Shed by Husband.
TO DROWN HERSELF
Leaves Note to Members Of Family
Giving Reason for Rash Act
Note Not Made Public.

Mrs. John Soenksen, a resident oi
West Side township residing one and
one-half miles northwest of West Side
committed suicide sometime Monday
forenoon by hanging, her body being
found, suspended by rope in ma
chine shed, by her husband when he
came in from the field at dinner time
The exact cause OF the rash act is
only known to the immediate relatives
of Mrs. Soenksen she having left a
letter addressed to her husband and
other relatives. which was found in
the home. We are told that Mrs.
Soenksen had been in poor health
and that brooding over this probably
caused her to end her life.
She seemed to be in the best of
spirits in the morning and prepared
her husbands breakfast before he went
out into the field to work. She visit
ed throughout the meal, laughing and
joking with Mr.. Soenksen and did not
appear to be in downcast mood.
Sometime during The forenoon she
went to machine shed where thresh-
ing machine was stored and here Sc
cured a piece of rope which she tied
around her neck. Climbing up on one
of the wheels of the thresher. she
was able to reach a rafter and wound
the rope around this and it is suppos-
ed she jumped from the wheel.
Coroner w. r. Byrnes. of Vail, was
called to the scene and after a careful
investigation it was thought that she
had attempted to take her life by
drowning. Her clothing was wringins
wet when she was found and a comb
and a number Of hair pins were found
in a tank in the barn yard which was
used for watering stock. The shallow.
ness of the water in the tank probab-
ly caused her to give up the attempt
and she went to the machine shed,
where the deed was committed.
Mrs. SOenksen was woman about
thirty-five years of age, and was born
and raised in West Side township. Be-
sides her husband she leaves to mourn
her death her mother, Mrs. N. Sclu-
mann. Of West Side, and two brothers
and two sisters.

Rust.

Nothing can rust unless 1t has iron
in it. Rust is made by iron touching
moist air. The oxygen in the moist
air acts on the iron and forms what
we call "oxide of ir0n," or rust. which
crumbles away and spoils the IRON
Exchange.

he might as well consume the whole
