Two NEW NEWSPAPERS.
Former Ottnmwa Men Enter the News
paper Field.

Last week saw the advent of two
new newspapers, one in Wapello county
at Blalesburg, and the other just over
the line in jefferson county at Bata-
via, both of which are published by
former Ottumwa men familiar with
newspaper work, Both are independ-
ent in politics and are devoted to the
upbuilding of the locality in which
they are located.
The Blakesburg Advertiser is pub
lished by James Kussart and Harry
Deyin and is credit 10 any town
much larger than Blakesburg. If
Messrs. Kussart and Deyin maintain
the high standard they have set in the
first issue the people of that place
will have no cause to complain.
Te Batavia Leader also made its bow
to the public last week under the man
aeeinent OF Edward Simonds and Will
lam Moon. Both of these young men
have the ability to print a good news
paper and have expressed determin-
alton to do so. Last week they were
handicapped by troubles incident to !.
first issue with which all printers are
familiar.

the doctor began to make inquiry re
garding the whereabouts of his trou-
sers. A search for the missing arti-
cles revealed the fact that they were
in the dining room but minus the mon

the burglars visited the place, each one

Enter Two Other Places.
The residence of William d. Funk is
on Russell street,just few doors north
and west of DR.. Henry's residence.
Here the thieves opened {, window in
the cellar and going to the head of the
stairs secured can of peaches and a
pitcher of cream from the refrigerator
They evidently tried to get into the
living rooms but fortunately the door
leading from the cellar was locked.
The thieves took their eatables TO the
rear of the house where they opened
the peaches, eating about half OF the
contents of the can. From here they
went across the street to Mrs. CA
Daggett's residence. A screen at the
front of the house was cut but the
burglars evidently had become clumsy
They knocked over a stand in the room
which together with the light from
the matches they struck awoke Mrs.
Daggett, who was sleeping in the Sec
ond story but who saw the light made
by the matches thru the register in
the ceiling of the room, below and in
the floor of the room in which she
was sleeping. The Funk boys came
over in response to her cry of alarm
but the intruders had fled, securing
nothing.

ottumwa Residences Entered Early
Sunday Morning.
SECURED SIS At ONE PLACE.
Take DR.. j. d. Henry's Trousers From
Under the Pillow on which He Was
Sleeping without Awaken
Ing Him.

Hungry burglars, not averse, nowev-
er, to taking coin of the realm, enter
ed three residences Sunday morning.
In one case they took the trousers of
the head of the house from under the
pillow on which he was sleeping with
out disturbing his slumbers and secur-
ed $35 for their trouble. A quantity of
silverware and four watches were in
plain sight but they neglected the OPP
portunity to take them consequently
the family is still in the possession Of
them. At a. second place the thieves
looted the family refrigerator but were
unable to get into the living rooms of
the family while at third place they
were frightened away before securing
anything. 1t is thought that it is the
work of semi-professionals in hard
luck for whom ten strikes are not
coming very rapidly, else they would
have taken the valuables exposed to
their gaze at the first place.
Get s35 ut Or. Henry,s.
At the residence of DIR. ]. D. Henry,
No. 315 North Benton street, the bur
glars secured entrance to the house BY
cutting out the screen of one of the
lower windows. The family sleeps up
stairs and SO quietly did the thieves
work that the family was not awaken
ed and did not discover that they had
been. robbed until the next morning.
The thieves scattered the linen in the
linen closet around the room and
found a small amount of change which
they appropriated. A silver watch was
in this place and the family silverware
was on the table. neither of which was
taken. The burglars proceeded to in
yestigate the second story, lighting a
large number OF matches which were
dropped on the floor and which were
found next morning. They entered the
sleeping room of DR.. and Mrs. Henry
without awakening either. They took
DR.. Henry's trousers from under the
pillow on which he was sleeping with
out disturbing the doctor, but left
Mrs. HenIy's gold watch on the dress
err Going back down stairs they eN-
amined the trousers and found $50
which they did not have to be asked to
take. The doctors medicine case was
also in the trousers but the thieves ey-
identity had no use for medicine and
left it. After securing a cherry pie
from.the refrigerator and pitcher of
cream they folded the trousers up
neatly, placed the medicine case on top
and went out on the lawn where they
ate lunch. So quietly was the work
done that the family did not discover
