, After sending a telegram from Council
WufTs fo his mother In Douglas, Wyo.,
on the afternoon of Sunday, February 19,
stating that he had missed connection!
and could not leave for home until the
nct day. Dr. Jpsurhm. surgeon for the
Northwestern railroad In Wyoming,
dropped completely out of sight. Ills rela
tives and friends are much concerned
over his disappearance and fear that ha
has either met with an accident or, as It
is known he generally carried considerable
money with him when traveling, that he
may have met with foul play.
Dr. Jesurhrn had been east on a trip
and on his way home left Des Moines
Sunday, February 19, at noon, the train
being . four hours late and on reaching
Council duffs wu unable to make the
train, connections h had arranged. It Is
known that he sent from here a telegram
to his mother at Douglas stating he had
missed his train and would not be able
to leave here until the next day. Inquiry
falls to show, however, that he registered
at any of the hotels In this city unless
he did so under an assumed name. In
vestigation In Omaha also disclosed the
fact that ha did not register at any of the
hotels there. Ills trunk, however, was re
checked from the transfer depot here, but
. not to Douglas, which makes the matter
all the more myBtlfylng. While the em- i
ployes of the baggage department at the
transfer are positive that the trunk was
not rechecked to Douglas, they are unable
to state' Its destination.
Dr. Jesurhrn Is about 48 years of age
and Is unmarried. It Is said that when
absent from home he never misses a day
either writing or telegraphing his mother,
with whom he makes his home at Douglas.
Besides following the practice of his pro
fession. Dr. Jesurhrn is a large stock
raiser and ranch owner.
When Dr. Jesurhrn did not reach home
at the time expected his mother com
municated with friends in Des Moines
and they In turn wrote to Chief of Police
Richmond. II. C. Blackburn of the Iowa
National bank at Des Moines, a particular
friend of the missing doctor, arrived in
the city yesterday, but he was unable to
learn anything more than the police al
ready had. From here Mr. Blackburn went
to Omaha, where Dr. Jesurhrn was well
known to a number of the members of the
medical fraternity, to continue bis search.
money on the defendants to such an extent
that he became financially Involved and In
a moment of desperation committed the
crime for which he Is now serving a long
sentence In the penitentiary.
August Olderog Is proprietor of the hotel
In Treynor where Karrer remained In hid
ing the day after committing the robbery
at the bank.

MORE MOXEV FOR POLICE FORCES
Three Thousand Dollars More Asked
by Chief.
When the city council makes the appro
priations for the new fiscal year, beginning
April 1, Chief of Police Richmond will ask
that $18,000 be allowed for the maintenance
of his department. This will be $3,000 In
excess of the appropriation for the fiscal
year now; closing. i ne neea oi ao.inoreaea
appropriation la explained by the fact that
- nhl.f Vlknin4 will nnlr that thu nav eif
the patrolmen be Increased from $60 to $65
a month. The latter. Major Richmond con
tends,, la small enough compensation when
the strenuous duties and long hours of a
patrolman are taken Into account. When
the pay of the members of the fire depart
ment was raised a year or so ago an effort
waa made to raise that of the police de
partment, but It failed.
Major Richmond Is also of the opinion
that the number of the force under him
should be Increased and this Is generally
conceded. His plans contemplate one ad
ditional patrolman and two additional plain
clothes men, one for day duty and one for
'night The extra patrolman will act as a
sort of emergency officer and will make hl3
headquarters at the police station to be on
hand to respond to a "hurry up" call for
an officer in any part of the city. As the
force now Is, It Is seldom that an officer Is
available at short notice when an emerg
ency call comos into police headquarters.
The need of a large police force Is gen
erally conceded by the business men and It
Is likely-that an Increased appropriation for
this department will be made this year. It
la understood that Mayor Macrae and a
nurriber of the aldermen are fully In ac
cord with the plans of Major Richmond.

UNABLE TO COLLECT CORPORATION FEES
Work of Repairing Fire Damage at
Capital Progressing Alomlnara

(From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, Feb. 28.-(Sneclal.) The
position of captain of Company K of the
Fifty-third regiment has been declared
vacated by Adjutant General Thrift on the
recommendation of the Board of Military
Examiners. The recommendation is that
while he may have the ability and compe
tency he has not the qualifications and the
efficiency. Beginning last year General
Byers addressed several letters to Captain
M. O. Ehert at Toledo calling his attention
to the rules and statutes of the state re
quiring a report at certain Intervals.
There are a number of different kinds of
these reports and none were turned In to
the adjutant's office. After repeated let
ters his attention was called to the stat
utes In particular and he was told that
the board of examiners would be asked
to Investigate. Finally he was notified
that the Inquiry would be made on a cer
tain date. He was notified by telegram
of a change to another date. Not a line
or sign of a response was ever received
from him. The examining board which
met last week Inquired Into his case and
found him Inefficient. He hadn't even gone
to the trouble to draw the money to which
his company was entitled. The recom
mendation that the place be vacated was
approved by the governor and the colonel
of the Fifty-third will order an election
soon to fill the place.
Can't Collect Fees.
No fees will be collected from corpora
tions doing business in Iowa with a less
capital stock named than they actually
have. It Is discovered that under the Iowa
laws there is no way of getting at such
cases. The matter has been considered
In the executive council before and out
of the situation may grow a demand for
better corporation laws at the next meet
ing of the general assembly.
. Leaves for Washington.
Governor A. B. Cummins and Mrs. Cum
mins left Saturday night for Washington
to attend the Inaugural ceremonies and will
attend the cabinet dinner to President
and Mrs. Roosevelt given by Secretary and
Mrs. Wilson, Tuesday evening. Adjutant
General Thrift left the sanie evening, but
will stop at his home in Dubuque.
Deny Visit Is Political.
8. X. Way and Tom Way of Wesley, ard
ent supporters of Governor A. B. Cummins,
were in the city Saturday and called on the
governor. They denied that their visit had
any political significance and that It was
business purely. Tom Way was the agent
for the governor in the sale of some land
near Wesley.
Pnt oil Alumlnnui.
Aluminum Is being put on the inside of
the dome of the statehouse. The alumi
num will be treated with raw s-eneca, and
It Is claimed will deepen Into a rich gold
and will last as long as gold leaf. The
contract with Artist Garnsey calls for the
dome to be covered with gold. Whether this
means with a gold color or with gold leaf Is
a question for the Capitol commission to
settle. Prof. Charles A Cummlng, one of
the members of the Capitol commission,
says he understood the dome was to be
covered with gold leaf. There will be a
difference of several thousand dollars In
the cost.
The work of restoring the house chamber
from the damage done by the flames has
progressed to the state where the plaster
will be put on Inside of the next few weeks.
The celling, which Is all of firerrooflng. Is
suspended from the roof of the building.
In the center is a large celling light. Sixty
five tons of steel and concrete are In the
celling of the house chamber. The plan Is
very much the same as formerly so far as
the celling Is concerned, except that It is
more modern and artistic. Three rows of
electric Incandescent lights around the cell
ing enhance the beauty. All the window
casings, which formerly were of wooden
construction, will now be of a material that
hardens like fnnrhle. The steel lathing Is
In place everywhere ready for the plaster.
Violate Game Laws.
C. A. Pugsley of Esthervllle has appealed
to the supreme court the case In which he
was convicted of unlawfully killing musk
rats out of season. He entered the plea
that they were a nuisance, but the district
court sustained the decree and he has now
appealed to the supreme court. The fines
and costs already have reached $175. I. N.
Salyers of Esthervllle has also appealed
the case wherein he was convicted of hav
ing five fish In his possession out of season.
Fight for Consolidation.
There Is to be a concerted effort on the
behalf of the school men of the state to In
fluence the legislative committee In favor
of a board of control for the state educa
tional Institutions. . The committee will
meet soon at Ames and the school men of
the state will argue before the committee
that the strife between the state Institu
tions could be done away with under a
board of control to the benefit of all the
colleges of the state, both financially and
otherwise, and especially to the benefit of
the state schools. It Is claimed that a fifth
year's work at the State Normal was put
on as a protection and defense to the argu
ment of Brown of the State university, who
inspected the high schools, that only State
university graduates should have positions
on the high school staff.

DISAPPEARS WITH LARGE ROLL
Prominent South Dakota Mason Takes
Train for Omaha and Is Not
Seen A grain.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Feb. 26. -(Special.)
Members of the Masonic organization
throughout the United States have been
asked to aid In the search for Nlcalous
Krebs, for years one of the most prominent
business men of South Dakota, who mys
teriously disappeared last September. When
last seen he had the sum of $7,500 In cash
In his possession.
His Immediate friends and relatives have
endeavored to get some trace of him and
had about decided to give up In despair,
when It was believed that an appeal to
Masons throughout the country would aid
In locating him If still In the land of the
living. The missing man Is a prominent
Mason. He Is a member of Cmistantlne
commandery of Salem S. D., of El Rlad
temple of Sioux Falls and of the consist
ory of Scottish Rite Masons of Yankton.
Krebs, who was a widower, was married
to his second wife In February of lost
year. In May last himself and wife do
parted for Oregon for the purpose of look
ing over the country with a view to locat
ing there. In June Krebs returned to
South Dakota, closed up his business af
fairs and on July 1 returned to Oregon,
where he rejoined his wife, she meeting
him at Portland, according to Instructions,
which she received In a letter written from
South s Dakota.
They lived In Portland until August 31,
when Krebs disappeared from that city.
Several days later 'his friends at Salem,
who did not expect to see him in South
Dakota again so soon, were surprised at
his appearance there. He reached that
place about 8 o'clock' on the morning of
September 6. Going) to a local bank where
he had his money on. deposit he drew out
the full amount, something over $7,500.
At 1 o'clock that afternoon he boarded
a southbound train' on the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad, having purchased
a ticket for Omaha. That Is the last trace
the county Judge these ringleaders have
been appointed the guardians of minor In
dians, and the shameless robberies that
took place In this line would be a revela
tion to the world.
"Jim Davis, an Indian, is In the peniten
tiary. His afflicted mother signed a note
of $1,000 to one of the speculators, who
promised her that he would get him out.
Ho got him out on parole lately and made
him work and cut his winter wood. This
Indian woman was made to sell her heir
ship land, and this same speculator bought
it. He then returned the Indian to the pen
itentiary again with a promise to get him
out again If his mother would sign another
note to balance with the price he gave for
her land.
"Indians who are unwilling to give up
their government checks are kept prisoners
in the agency buildings until they are will
ing to hand them over.
"What effect, then, has the arrest and
the conviction of saloon keepers and boot
leggerswhat good does it doT Little at
all. They are the tools of the ring. This
ring will and must get others. If the offi
cers were sincere and had their work at
heart they would study the Indian situa
tion, analyze the disease and apply the
proper remedy.
"I made a thorough study regarding these
Indians and their situation, and It seems
strange that In the prosecution of these
saloon keepers' cases my evidence waa not
needed. It seems that the head of the
viper was not wanted; they only wanted
to cut off a piece of the tail that would
grow on again the bootleggers. Volumes
could be written about these Indians and
their scandalous abuses, but I feel satisfied
that President Roosevelt and the New In
dian commissioner, F. E. Leupp, will see
that all scandals cease and that the offi
cials will earn their salaries, and there will
be no room for speculators, saloon keepers
or bootleggers."

Advice In Sirenge EMs
SOME people of wealth tell you, in the tone of wise men teach
ing a refractory scholar, that you ought to do as they do.
But fortunately the American people think for themselves.
They do not like to be dictated to,- and prefer to think out a
problem with their own brains rather than accept somebody's
thtorirt. Be a tme American and do not permit a physician or
an editor who are nerhnps prejudiced for selfish reasons to per
suade you that in order to get a cure for your ills you must go to a
doctor, perhaps pay $2.00 for a prescription in Latin that few can
read or understand, and take it to a drug store and pay 75 cents
for a bottle of medicine which wil' last aoout a week. Further
more, nine times out of ten the prescription calls for alcohol as a
medium for dissolving the drugs. Now, the level-headed American
woman who isn't over-burdened with wealth, when she is sick,
when she has periods of pain and distress, knows what her needs
are, knows that a prescription which was originally put up by a
physician of eminence for just sur.h oases, a specialist in woman's
diseases, will give her the required strength and benefit. Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been sold for the past thirty
eight years in larger quantities than any other prescription fur
woman's ills. Women who have used this prescription have gotten
well. It does not contain alcohol, or any dangerous drugs, and is
guaranteed perfectly harmless to the most delicate system. It is
scientifically compounded from active principles, extracted from
the roots of the most valuable medicinal plants, and has been
found most efficient in making weak women strong and sick women
well. Follow the experience of others write to Dr. R. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti
tute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Uive a description of your case and he will
tell you frankly and truthfully whether your case is one for which
his "Favorite Prescription" can be recommended or not. Thero
is no charge for his medical advice.
I write to express my gratitude to Dr. Pierce for his medicine,
Favorite Prescription,'" writes Mrs. Lucy A. Moss, of Meagsville,
Tenn. "I was suffering for about twenty years with female disease,
also sick headache, painful periods, dizziness and many other bad
feelings. At last waa confined to my bed and was given up by my
husband and friends. I could not walk a step, and my husband had
to lift me about like a baby. At last I began taking Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Took three bottles and am glad to say to-day
that 1 leel like a new woman. Am able to do my own washing and house
work, and I wish to praise Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription world-wide. I
cannot say enough for it j it is worth more than all I could say of it."
"I have used your medicine, and can say there is none to equal it"
writes Mrs. Bamuel Taylor, of Ransom, Kans. "1 recommend it to all' I
know to be in need of medicine, and all seem equally pleased with it. The
medicine speaks for iteelf. One of my lady friends, the doctor said, had
ulceration of womb, and she has, I believe, used twelve bottles of 'Favorite
Prescription, and is now in the best of health, after trying the home doctor
quite a while. So your medicine will sell itself. I have great
faith in Dr. Pierce's medicines, and will alwavs speak a good
word for them." l

"I have taken several bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and cannot praise it enough," writes Mrs. Wra.
