Clay AUgood, husband of the unfortunate
woman whose troubles led her to take her
own life, has been heard from. Assistant
County Attorney Hess yesterday received
a letter from AUgood, who Is In Auburn,
Neb. When writing to Mr. Hess, AUgood
was unaware of his wife's attempt to end
her life, which ultimately proved success
ful. Now that the missing father of the
five motherless children has been located
an effort will be made by the authorities
to Induce him to return and provide for
them, which It la aald he la well able to do.
When the attention of the authorities was
first called to the pitiable condition of the
mother and her five children, Mr. Hess at
once attempted to locate AUgood. Last
spring AUgood called on Mr. Hess and
complained that he could not live with his
wife and that her actions had caused him
to leave his home. At that time AUgood In-
sfsted that were It not for his wife's be-
imviur lie iuuiu (iruMuc 101 ins cimureii, nm
when he could secure work he could earn
about 290 a month. Nothing was said at
that time about sny proposed action to se
cure possession of the children from the
mother.
The remains of Mrs. AUgood are stilt
lying at Cutler's undertaking rooms and
no arrangements for the funeral have been
made and they probably will be deferred
until the husband can be again heard from.
The children In the meantime are being
cared for at the Associated Charities'
Creche.

FARMERS ENDORSE PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Council Bluffs Man Iteslajns Position
of Oil Inspector and Another
One Is Slated for the
Position.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
PES MOINt-'S, Dec. 14. (Special.) There
will not be any effort to. make the lows
State fairs last two weeks Instead of one,
a has been advocated by some persons,
particularly In Des Moines, where there
was a desire to have the fairs extended
for business reasons. Secretary J. C. Simp
son, In making his annual report to the
state Institute today took strong; ground
In opposition to a two weeks' fair. H
pointed out It would Interfere necessarily
with some of the fairs In surrounding
states, and it would make It Impossible to
have exhibitors hers to remain during the
ertlre fair. The larger exhibitors would
have to leave out Iowa and Iowa would
have to get out of the circuit of big fairs.
This Is taken to be the expression ot the
state fair management.
President Morrow in his annual address
briefly referred to the work done and to
the need of more Improvements at the fair
grounds. Ila referred to the building of a
permanent main building by appropriation
of the legislature, something long needed.
The fact that the Bt. Louis exposition did
not Interfere with making the Iowa fajr a
success was referred to with appreciation
of the loyalty shown by Iowa people.
The financial statement shows that the
fair receipts were (W, 138.28 and the net
profit 112,862.92. The premiums paid In va
rious classes were: Speed department,
$6,435; horses, I1.7M; cattle, 15,797; swine,
tl.Klt.o7; sheep, 11,467; agriculture, I1.798.W;
