Charged with Robbery.

Upon q telegram from the authOri.
ties ST Scott county, Sheriff Munro
arrested Walter Myers in this village
last Monday afternoon and held him
until the arrival of Sheriff Weiland,
of that county, that afternoon, who
came armed with warrant for the
arrest Of the young man on the chal &c
of robbery and returned with him on
the noon train Tuesday. The facts,
as given to us are these: Some time
ago highway rObberywas cou mitled
in Scott county. One of two men
who were then suspected Of the
crime escaped and has not been cap
tured, while the other was lately
tree and is now serving five years
term in the penatentiary for the
hand he took in the affair. THIS
Myers was subp9nRd TO appear as a
witness upon the tlial but, coming to
Norris where he has been eversInce,
he did not appear. 1t seems that
suspicion pointed also towards him
AS being connected with the affair
and the grand jury indicted him at Il
late term of court, which caused his
arrest now.
There are many in Stevens county
who know this young man well who
hope that he will have no difficulty
in proving his Innocence of the
serious charge resting against him.
They are willing to believe what he
claims: That his unfortunate con-
nection with the case was purely
accidental. Not only does he claim
to be innocent, but that, CHANGING to
come upon the scene in time, he
saved the victim from brutal treat
ment by the men who committed the
deed.

of his demonstrations he was taken

owe were little surprised few
days ago to find $50 lying in the road
beside the hedge at the corner of one
of our prominent farmers homes, and
the more 50 to find it had lain there
several months unmolested but be-
ginning to look much the worse for
the exposure. The money was in the
shape of corn planter that will have
to be replaced by new one before
many years unless cared for better
than that" The above we find in a
Missouri exchange. There are still a
few of our farmers who continue the
once popular practice of letting their
machinery lay out doors, rotting and
rusting to peices instead of wearing
out, bu5 lately this practice is con-
fined tC very small and exceedingly
shiftless lot in this locality. ali of

their machinery as though 1t was

SUBsIDIZE SHIPPING.
That Is the Way to Build Great
Merchant Marine.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The Ameri-
can Shipping and Industrial League
met here in annual session to-day. Gen.
Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama, presided,
and in taking the chair delivered short
address, briefly reviewing the history
of American shipping. Gen. Pitkin, of
Louisiana, delivered the first regular
address of the session. His subject was
The rehabilitation of our merchant
marine, a national and not party
question" He regarded the re-estab
lishment of American shipping as of
the utmost Importance to our national
prosperity. No nation. he believed,
could attain the maximum of prosperity
without great merchant fleet which in
time of war would serve as naval re-
serve. He spoke of the Samoan affair
as an example of the indignities to
which we are in constant danger of
being compelled to suffer at the hands
of foreign powers. His address was a
strong argument in favor of government
aid to American shipping by subsidy
and by discrimination in its favor.
After appointing committees on perma-
nent organization and resolutions, the
convention adjourned.

lady has not written anything for the
past three years at least. and has there

In 1864 Ella would of a summer day
bring from Westport across Lake Men

The former she traded to Dud-

ted to Horace Rublee, of the
State Journal for his verdict. Generally
it went against her. for. Horace wrote
poetry in those days for himself; in
short he wrote most anything, and moth

ally bright prospects for his writings in
the fact that there was always room for
Improvement. But this is not to the
point. What we were about to say is
that Miss Wheeler was then anywhere
from eighteen to twenty-five years of
age. That is now twenty-five years ago;
eighteen and twenty-five equals forty
