had ticket from Toronto, whose desti-
nation was Independence, jumped from
the train near Peosta, when the cars were

hurt by the jump, for Immediately after,

top of his speed. The conductor imme

the crazy man could be found. He is
described as follows: he is about fee,
8 inches high, has black must che, and
had on black under and over coats, and
dark cloth cap He seemed to be trav

mental malady come over him since he
started on his journey. During last

was Eighty and uneasy; his concern be
ing apparently, for the safety of large
sum of money which he had, or assumed
to have about him.

PETTY THIEvING.-There has been
quite development of the pilferng pro-
pensity in our city during the past week.
On Saturday last, Geo. Burr, young
man of respectable connections was de-
tccted in the theft of gold ring from
the case in Herrick & Henshaw's jewelry
st re. His 70 M was searched and nu-
merous bottles of win" and other delica-
cies, stolen from Mrs Hardenbrook's sa-
loon were discovered. He was not prose-
cuted.
The same evening young scapegrace
of IS, named Chas. II. Fisk, who also
goes by the name Of "IIoboken," took a
out of the drawer of saloon under Ed
warls' grocery. He was afterwards dis
covered in Sturtevant's saloon, and
charged with the theft He stoutly de.
MED it for while, but at last owned up,
and refunded the money on promise of
not being prosecuted. How unwisc this
course was was illustrated on Wednesday,
when the same young scamp entered the
Bazaar and took a valuable gold pen
from the desk of J. p. Sampson, without
being observed. ]. C. Glass was enga-
gcl as detective, and soon traced the
theft to Fisk. He also discovered that
the young thief had a gold pen in his
possession belonging t. L. w. Burdick
Of X. r. Plane g. Co., also stolen. Fisk
was arranged before Esq. Roszcll, and
committed to Jail
THE STATE FAIR.-rhe State Fair this
week at Cedar Rapids, is pronounced by
those present the finest, and in most re-
spects the most satisfactory one ever
held in Iowa The Stock and Fruit de-
partments are particularly dwelt upon
with expressions of admiration and by
the correspondents of the city papers,
The show of bloOded farm stock is un.
precedentedly large and fine, while the
show of fruit is in the highest degree
crclitable and gratifying. The display
of vegetables is also very large and won
derful in it's development of monster
squashes, bcets, potatoes &c. Jefferson,
Blackhawk and Clayton counties were
competitors in this department, and each
contributed about forty tons Of vegeta
bles to the show. The attendance has
been very large, numbering some $4,000
yesterday. Many Of our citizens awaited
themselves of the facilities offered by the
l. G. r. II. to visit the Fair. and all re
turn with enthusiastic expressions Of de
light at the splendid sights witnessed.

THE Re.UNIoN.-The fraternal gather
ing of the brave boys Of the 9th Iowa
Infantry last week at Charles City, is
represented to have been a very interest
ing and enjoyable occasion. The atten
dance was not so large as anticipated,
owing to failure to make connection on
the Milwaukee & ST. Paul r. r., whereby
large delegation from the North eastern
counties were unable to arrive in time to
take part in the exercises. Hon. w. G.
Donnan, of this city, delivered the ora
ton, which is highly complimented by
the local apers.

Last July while the thermometer was
playing around 1902 in the shade, and
when the very words Of flannel or winter
goods would only serve to bring an extra
gush of Precipitation to the surface, Mr..
N. O. Lawton of the New York Store
took his departure for the east, knowing
that the failure Of the cotton crop and
the great advance of wool would cause
higher prices for those who purchased
late in the season. Never was there
made more fortunate move. On his ar
rival in the markets he found many Of
the jobbers getting in readiness for the
fall trade, and although they knew goods
would go much higher in price, being
anxious to start trade carly, and having
on hand quite supply carried over at
low figures, they offered them at the old
price. This was what Mr.. LaWton from
past experience had expected, and by be-
ing the first on the ground from this Sec
ton, his purchases made, will be worth
thousands upon thousands OF dollars to
independence and the surrounding coun-
try; for it is not the practice 4 the New
York Store to buy high and sell high and
therefore sell but few goods, but on the
contrary to take every advantage OF the
market, buy their goods at the very low
est rates and sell correspondingly low,
thereby not only benefting themselves
by having the largest trade in this part OF
the State, but benefiting their customers
by selling to them lower than could 9TH
crwiSe be done.
