Jones Still Missing.

The return of John Jones to Des
Moines, where he is wanted to answer
to the charge of having caused the re-
cent wreck on the Rock Island at Ok
ford by blunder in orders, has not
yet taken place, in spite of the conf
dent assertions of the officials of the
road that he was not the man to shirk
responsibility and flee from the per-
sonal consequences of such terri Bile
mistake. Where he is no one seems
to know. He is missing still. 1t is
not known what efforts are being
made to have him brought back.

limitations of this celebrated pottery
are sold by some stores, but there can
be no mistake by those who know the
ware; this monogram is the trade
mark, and is on the bottom of every
piece of genuine lockwood ware.
Presents of pottery showing this
monogram are appreciated by both
giver and recipient, because they are
distinct. original, uncopied, and are
pronounced by Judges of ceramics to
be the most artistic in shape. glaze
and decoration, of any pottery pro-
duced in the world today.
We have been appointed agents for
the sale of lockwood pottery for
Rock Island couaty, and this display.

time complete and representative

In the second act the curtain rose
upon that wild and rocky pass' in tie

Herr Anton Van Rooy, who has 80 dis.

in the foreground with "Brunnhide,
Nine. Marie Brema." He instructs her
to protect "Siegmund' and slay Hun
ding in the coming conflict. and the
Joyous Valkyrie leaps up the mountain
side singing her "Higb-oh' soug-and
Liebre Himmel! how she sang it. The
very paste board mountains seemed to
echo it, as ir the storm scene in
Childe Harold. where,
"Every mountain now hath found

that different women be sent to recurl ing

question of reports from clubs came up,
