Are Wanted On Many Charges.
The arrest of the three men in omaha
with a wagonioad Of chickens and turkeys,
stolen from the henroosts of E.. M. Lorenz.

by the police mere as important. From the
description Of the wagon and team belong
ing to the men they are believed to be the

other thefts Sn this section Of the country.
During the past twelve months the cream
cries at Malvern. Hillsdale, Glenwood. Trey
nor, Dunlap and Missouri Valley have been
robbed and large quantities OF butter stolen.
Numerous robberies Of hides. harness.
bicycles, and other goods have been re-
ported during the same time from surround
ing towns in this section Of the state, and
In almost every instance in the particulars
sent out by the local authorities the parties
suspected of committing the robberies were
driving through the country in q wagon
drawn by a team of gray and sorrel horses.
The wagon and team found with the men
answer the description.
On May II last the creamery at Missouri

ter reported stolen within the past year

0STE0PATHY

The science of osteopathy was discovered
by DR.. A.. T. Still of Kirksville, Mo. DR.
Still reasoned that a natural flow Of blood
is health; and disease Is the effect of local OF
general disturbance of the blood; that to
excite nerves causes muscles to contract and
compress venous flow Of blood to the heart,
and the bones could be used as levers to
relieve pressure on nerves, veins and ar
teries.
A slight strain or a sudden jolting may
easily cause a displacement of bone, muscle,
tendon or organ, and a consequent pressure
on the nerves, thus breaking the nerve wave
between the brain and the part injured,
and We then may have as a result any Of
the numerous ailments caused from lack
Of nerve supply to parts. Seldom is there
a permanent cure until the machinery is
righted. Hence we treat headache (all
kinds), weak eyes, catarrh, hay fever, en-
larged ~tonsils, goiter, asthma, bronchitis,
deafness, Irregularities of the heart, neu-
ralgia or rheumatism COT any part), spinal
curvature (all kinds), dislocation Of Joints,
all kind Of stomach, liver, kidney, bowel
and spleen troubles, bladder and urethral
troubles, uterine, female Irregularities, as

JERSEYS MARVELLOUS SCORES.
COL. BYRD SAYS SOMETHING WAS
WRONG AT SEA GRIT.

Intends TO stand by Col. Brooks in
Whatever Action He Takes-Thinks
There Was Plan Somewhere to
Rob the Georgia BOys-MiIIer of
the Jersey Team Made "a and Told
GeOrgians He Had Not Fired "A Shot
in Two Years.
Atlanta, Sept. 1S.-Acting Adjutant Gen
eral Phil G. Byrd. upon his return talked
freely Of the Sea Grit contest.
Col Byrd viii not speak officially. be-
cause he intends to stand by Col Brooks
in whatever course ne pursues, and does
not wish to be understood as trying in any
way TO influence his action or usurping
his authority. but he tells some mighty
interesting facts all the same.
He points out the fact that the jersey
marksmen, who made such marvellous
scores on the 6oO-yard range targets
couldn't be coaxed into individual con
tests, and that the Jerseymen made poor
Shots the day preceding and poorer shots
sull the day succeeding the shoot for the
Hilton trophy.
Col. Byrd knows the Savannah men
were robbed but he wants to wait TIL
they hear from the protest filed with Gen.
Spencer. which he signed. He says the
examination of the mo. 81 targets shows
that only forty-hve bullseyes We're found
while the marker signalled 1fty-six.
He tells of the story about Private Mil
Ter who went with the Savannah team to
Sea Girt as a substitute two years ago.
and did not shoot because of better
cracksmen on the team, who has since re-
sided there. Private Miller was on this
years Jersey team, and made "a out of 49,
and Col. Byrd says that Private Miller
told members of the Savannah team that
he had not made a shot within two years.
Private FetZer began at No. s, after the
600-yard firing and endeaVored 10 get a
shot in the contests, but was crowded
out until he reached No. 1, where he was
allowed to enter, and instead of firing at
No. J. he fired at No 8, so that there
would be an unpasted bullet hole by which
he could be able to Identify the target if
there should be an effort to run in fixed
target on the boys.
1T is also charged" said Col Byrd,
that the "S" targets used in the trophy
contest had been fired on during the week,
thus Enthusiastically proving that there was
some thing rotten in Denmark and that
1t looked like a preconcerted Plan to rob
Georgia of her glory"
Col. Byrd signed the protest with Coils.
Brooks and Cam. This prolonged his trip
a day or two longer than he intended, but
after the controversy arose he purposed
seeing it out Aside from this unpleasant
ness, he said all the Georgians enjoyed
their trip
