Through the window thrust his nose.

And L wish, sir, if you please,

'All right said the other, kindly;
You do look pinched and thin"

And his head went further in.
Soon. while the miller sIumbered,
Both held and neck were through;
Then presently in at fhe window
The body entered. TOO.
Now. the room was close and narrow,
And the startled sleeper woke,
And 10 his ungainly inmate
At length, complaining, spoke.
'sReally. my friend, while willing
To grant your first request,

people consented to this? Simply
because they got used to it. People can
be educated TO believe anything. Some
of our people have been so carefully edu-
Gated from early youth that they actually
believe it benefits them to be taxed.
They began to learn as young as one

under this so per cent robbers tariff.
They talk of the republican party being
the friend of education and yet it places

invented by man which makes those who

On Saturday afternoon, U nited States
Commissioner E. D. Sweeney received
papers from United States District Attor>
ney W. G. Ewing, of Chicago, setting
forth that Major 10 McGinnis, of Rock
Island arsenal, had filed complaints
against Richard o. Warren. cash account
clerk in Maj. McGinnis' Office, charging
him with appropriating to his own use
amounts of government funds to the ex-
tent of Ss1. Mr.. Sweeney at once EN-
powered Sheriff silvis with deputy United
States marshal authority and ordered him
to arrest Warren at his home Sixth and
LIE Claire streets. Davenport, and Sheriff
Silvis performed the duty Saturday even>
ing, bringing Warren before Commission
er Sweeney. who held the prisoner in
bonds of $1,000 to appear at o'clock
this afternoon, Messrs E. s. Carl and ]
A. LIE Claire acting as security.
Warren was discharged the first Of the
present month from the position of cash
clerk, after holding it twenty years He
was dIsbursing clerk, handling all the
money that was paid out on the island.
and had power to draw on himself. Col.
Thomas F. Barr. of Chicago, is in the
city to prosecute the case.
The preliminary hearing came of be-
fore Commissioner Sweeney in the circuit
court loom this afternoon, Hon. ]. c..
Bills, of Davenport, appearing for the
respondent. 1t was shown in evidence
that Warren had confessed taking the
amount-SS1-which was a sum due a
workman, and the temptation TO take it
and cover up his tracks was 80 great be
could not avoid it. He had made appro-
priation to the government, however, for
discrepancy. Warren was then held in
81 1000 for trial at the December term Of
the United States court at Chicago.
Warren's trouble has created a grea'
sensation here. which was at one time hi:
home, and at Davenport, his present
home. There is probably something
deeper in the case than has as yet beer
developed.

ables you to see at glance, at any
time, how the fruit is keeping, and

almost sure to do.
Peaches, pears and apples should
be dropped into cold water as they
are pared and Gilt. This makes
them retain a bright color. as the
acids are not colored by contact
with the oxygen of the air,
Cook all fruit very slowly. This
preserves Its form.
Use only granulatcd or white
sugar. Brown sugars are apt TO
color many kinds of fruits.
Donot washjars, vesse,lsorhands
with soap while canning fruits
Use soda or borax and dry Ill the

After filling tine jars set them on
straw in teapan OF water. and
bring gradually to a boil on the top
Of The stove. AT sOon as removed
to the table screw down the top to

Keep the canned fruit in cool,

Halt gallon and gallon jars are
most convenisnt, but a few quart
jars may he included, for holding
fruit juices to be used for flavor

! Visit the irut room daily for
several days after canning, 10 see
if jars show sigus of fermentation
or mould. Should such appear,
remove these and cook over again.
Well cooked fruit, in air proof
jars will keep easily, but no fruit
will keep well in jars that let in

II is not necessary to close the
