Eldora, Oct. 12.-The Shaw and Dol
liver meetings here yesterday Were
hummers. The day commenced with q
drizzling rain and continued clustering
and drizzling all day. but notwith-
standing the weather the opera house
was filled to hear NJ. j. Furry and Gov

one avalanche of facts and figures in
support of the republican position and
the administration of President MclSin-
lev. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
Every mention of a greater republic
brought out the widest enthusiasm.
Hon. c. Il. Albrook and Congressman
Dolliver spoke in the evening to a larg-
err crowd Many who had been kept
away by the rain during the day came
in the evening. The opera house was
literally packed from stage to doors
and from floor to ceiling. 1t was diff
cult to get standing room. The speak
ers were at their best and We're encored
to the echo by the vast multitude pres
ent, AS in the afternoon meeting, every
mention of a broader and grander ma
ton, an instrument in the hands of God
for the upbuilding of humanity and lib
erty, was greeted with the greatest
demonstration of approval. Clearly the
sentiment of the people is for expansion
and for putting down and silencine
every demonstration or uttcrance
against the stars and stripes. The PEG.
pie are aroused and determined, anc
there will be no uncertain meaning
about their votes when counted at the

Clinton, Oct. 12.-The death Of Frank
Koepp in this city has stirred up a big
sensation, which has promise of still
further development. Koepp died yes
terday, after an illness of months
duration. He was treated by Christian
Scientists, which society is quite strong
here, and has erected a beautiful
church edltice. After Koepp's death
application was made at the office of
the city clerk for a burial permit, which
was refused The city health physician
had heard of the death and issued or
ders to the clerk to refuse the permit
unless the death certificate was signed
by regular physician, and none could
be induced to put their signature to the
important document. The coroner was
notified of the death and today an in
quest Is being held over the remains,
There is considerable interest being
taken in the matter, as this city was
we'll stirred UP last winter by Christian
Science discussions. One of the most
noted lecturers on the Christian Scien-
fist platform came here and delivered a
lecture. The Protestant ministers of the
city looked upon this as a sort of a
challenge and series of sermons on
| the doctrine followed. Since the topic
has been full of interest to Clinton
| people and as this is the first case OF
the kind to come up. the outcome viii
Ibe watched with interest.

uNEARTHED ROBBERS RoosT
House Full of stolen Property Re-
covered and Two Arrests Made.

House Full of stolen Property Re-
covered and Two Arrests Made.
Atlantic, Oct. 1.-THE county and
city officials have unearthed a regular
robbers nest in this city and several
arrests have already been made. AS
result of their good work it is probable
that the petty thieving which has been
going on here for a considerable time
will be brought to an end.
The arrests started with that of Fred
Beems, an Atlantic young man who has
already served two terms in the peni-
tertiary at Fort Madison. He was
charged with the theft of a box of shoes
from a Rock Island freight car, the
shoes being consigned to Nebe's shoe
house of this city. He suspected that
the officers were on his trail and tried
to throw them off their guard by as
sisting them in the capture of the
guilty parties. He did better than he
wanted to, for when he helped them dig
| up the hidden box of shoes he was ar
rested There were six pair missing,
and he finally confessed that they could
be found at a Mrs. Jamison's. She re-
lluctantly turned them over.
Search warrants for other stolen
! goods were issued and the officers
1 found house full of stolen property
there before all was finished. They in
cluded lace curtains which had been re-
cently stolen. a s25 dress pattern from
one of the local dry goods stores, shoes
| from all of the local shoe stores. gold
watches and jewelry and goodly sum
of money hidden in various drawers
The facts We're brought to light partly
through the fact that Deems and Mrs
| Jamison fell out and started each to
1 tell about the others misdeeds. Mrs
4 Janison was arrested Tuesday evening
4 and lodged in jail and is now striving
/ to give bond which she will probably
give. as she has home and money.
Ii is the belief of the officers that Mrs
I.Jamison has been running fence,
and has been assisting robbers to gee
lrid of their booty. Beems confessed Z
lthe,robbery and will doubtless be giveI
4 a long sentence if his part in bringing
4 the fence to light does not influences
4 the case.
The officers deserving credit for th'
exceptionally good work are Sheriff
Hill, Deputy Duval, Detective kaNa

Mclaughlin, of the Rock Island serv
