Owing to the fact that NJ. & K. have
received great many requests to pros
long their rebate shoe sale, they have in
augurated general rebate sale through
out their entire establishment in which
all purchases amounting TO 81 or over, a

merchants wait until after your wants
have been supplied and then set up cry
of being 'overstocked'-in fact carry the

A pioneer of the pioneers of all this
section, and who resides in Muscatine,
carries his memories back sixty years in
regard to the weather topics and SAYS:
We had Just such fall and winter in
1928. and up to the first day Of February,
1929, as has been seen for the past few
months. People rode over the high
prairies without overcOats and frequently
in their shirt sleeves until February. La
Fevre NOW Galenal river was not even
frozen over until the first day of Febru-
arg, when it became much colder than
any then inhahltsnt of the country had
ever seen it, There were no white peo-
pie then living here, or in all Iowa, ex-
cept those who were on duty as United
States officers and soldiers at Fort MadI-
son. 1t turned so cold on the first day of
February as to freeze the stage drivers
on their boxes to death, and even the
oxen were frozen to death in their
yokes as they were driven along
the road, That year of 1898 also
saw the highest water that had
ever been seen in this upper Mississippi
valley. l am sure that it WAS from six to
eight feet higher than it has ever been
| since, and the water fell down lower in
September, October and November of
| that year than it has been from that time.
| | built two fiat bottom boats across the
! river at what is now and has ever since
been known as Boat Yard Hollow. |
also built large yawl or Mackinaw boat
there, IN which went to st. Louis about
the first week in November with my ten
hired men.
"Gen. Jones was then living at Sinsln>
iva Mound, Wis. His nearest white
neighbors were the officers and soldiers
at Fort Crawford now Prairie du Chen,
in the north. and the officers and soldiers
at Fort Armstrong, on Rock Island, in
the south-neighbors who were appre'
ciated when the Indian troubles set in two
wears later"

4 NURSE ARRESTED AND LIBERATED.
WHO ROBBED MRS. DgLAvALETTE OF HER FIFTY
DOLLAR BILL

WHO ROBBED MRS. DELAvALETTE OF dER FIFTY
DOLLAR BTLLf
There was great deal of commotion in the big
mansion at No. $40 Fifth-ave on Saturday after
noon when Mrs A NJ Delavalette, who lives there
came home from shopping and con6dcd to the
household that she had been robbed She dis
covered her loss while she was in q Broadway store
were she had made some purchases. When pay
ing for her goods she found that there was sou
bill missing from a roll Of money. She could not
believe that there was any ono in her house, among
her servants, who could have taken the money, but
finally came to the conclusion that the crcum-
stances pointed strongly to Sarah Byrnes trained
nurse, who was engaged several days ago To care
for Mrs. Delavalctte's invalid sister.
Mrs. Delavalette was up with her sister until
early Saturday morning At midnight Miss Byrnes
took charge of the sick woman, and when Mrs.
Delayalette went to bed she laid her dress, con-
tanning the money, in the room with her sister
and the nurse She did not think OF the money
when she got up in the morning, but dressed her-
self and went downtown after breakfast. AS no no
one had access to the room upon whom susplclou
could rest, Mrs Delavalette accused Miss Byrncs
of taking the money. The nurse became highly
indignant at the charge and denied the, theft
stoutly. Mrs. Delava'ette was not satisfied wlth
Miss Byrnes's explanation, and she called Officer
Bingham, who took tho weeping nurse to the
East Fifty.frst Street Police Station;
Captain Warts gave the matter his personal
attention He found that Miss Byrnes bore an
excellent reputation, and that She had been recon-
mended to Mrs Dclavaette by woman well
known in society who had lntrusted MIS- MIS- byrne1
times during the last eight years Captain warts
was satisfied that there was little evidence TO
charge the crime upon Miss Byrnes, and as Mrs.
Delavalette decided not to press the charge Miss
Bvrnes was discharged II is possible that she
may now take action in the matter on her own
account and look to Mrs. Deavalette 1or redreSs'
