Thieves Were Active.

In addition to the robbery at the
Rueter meat market noted in yester-
days HERALD, there have been a
number of cases of about the same
sort that have been perpetrated in
the past few weeks, but have been
withheld from public notice in the
hope of apprehension of the guilty
parties. One of the cases was at the
office of the American Coal Company
on High avenue east of the court
house. The glass in the rear door of
the office was cut out ana entrance
affected. The thieves went to the
safe which has always been closed
but left unlocked, and in attempting
to open the doors the parties locked
the combination and could not get
in. There was nothing taken from
the office and the matter was kept
quite for time.
There are other cases where things
have been taken and there are clews
that promise some sensational de-
velopments.

Run Away.

Eli Duncan of Beacon was attempts
ing to break young colt to harness
yesterday and was driving about tt o
streets of the city in the afternoon.
The colt got away from him near the
Rock Island station and ran north in
the alley between 1st and Market
streets. The animal dashed across
1st avenue and came in contact with
a post of the park railing. The col
lision knocked the wind out of the
animal and it had no more run in it.
No other damage was done.

LYNNvILLE SCHOOLS.
The Graduating Exercises Of the Class
of 1900.

The closing exercises of the Lynn
vile schools took place from the
Quaker church last Friday evening.
President Gates of Iowa College, de-
livered his lecture on "The Call of
the Twentieth Century," to large
and highly appreciative audience.
His talk, while largely along socialis-
tic lines, was so guarded as not to
offend those who do not believe in
that theory, and was, on the whole,
very interesting lecture, and one
that contained much food for thought.
The graduating class,in whose honor
the exercises were held, consisted of
the following: Ernest Rhine, Ran
dolph Riley, Lille Rhine, CASA Con-
over, Alta McDonough, Gertrude
Austin, Rhodema Mendenhall. Prof.
E. A. Wilmer presented the class
with their diplomas. At the close of
the exercises at the church the class
and a number of former graduates
as we'll as a number of friends, re-
paired to the Cause house where
sumptuous banquet awaited them.

RETURNS TO KENTUCKY.
Gov. Taylor Reaches Frankfort-NO
Warrant for His Arrest Has
Yet Been Served.

Frankfort, KY, April 3O.-Gov. w. s..
Taylor has returned here from WASH
ington and spent Sunday at the execu-
tive mansion with his family. He stated
that he returned to silence the ru-
mors that he was endeavoring to es-
cape indictment. After attending to
the matter of ascertaining whether
there is any indictment against him
he will return to Washington. The
presence of Gov. Taylor was known to
the local officers and to those in charge
of the prosecution, and the fact that a
warrant of arrest was not served upon
him is now construed to mean that
the indictment in this case will be held
up and no process issued on it for sew
eral days. The indictment was re-
turned in open court after those against
Finley, Powers, Culton and others were
returned, but it was not entered as of
record, and is now understood to be in
the possession of Judge Cantrill.

only they, with the help of right-minded
people can achieve complete and perma,.

sacrifice will be sweet for the good of
their fellow-men, and it will temper all
of us together in peace, while theirs will
be great praise One could name half
dozen influential men in Oskaloosa who
by patient, continuous effort, could lead
us to cleanse ourselves of drunkenness
and other public vices Many reader
will say, II want the liquor-dealers, who
never have kept the law, made to keep
it, and the liauor traffic reduced to a
minimum" If he be sincere he will
contribute to the Anti-Saloon League
fund for that very purpose. This is the
one way for the sincere signer of the pc
tltion to show his good faith with the
people. The Anti Saloon League is or
gained with the avowed purpose to en-
force upon the liquor traffic the very re-
strctions which you have petitioned
Will you help? Will you not, whatever
be the motive for which you signed IL?
You have signed a public document af-
fecting the happiness of lis all. Don't
cowardly try to shift the responsibility.
That would be wicked.
7. If, indeed. the sincere signers of
the petition cannot rise TO the only pure
platform of prohibition. to expel the sa-
loon and its sister evils, the bootleg"
and the brothel, all of which have infest-
ed the city for years, let them remember
that, as thew are responsible for the sa-
loon, the people will hold them to strict
account for its behavior and the Danish
ment of the bootleg" and the brothel
from our midst They must also be re-
sponsible for illegal sales in the drug
stores, which they have promised to stop
by opening the saloon It should be an
easy thing, since the druggists have all
signed the petition to rid themselves of
all that business. We remember hiatt
those who signed the old petition made
the same promise; but they soon forgot
it. We shall be thankful for more faith
fulness this time.
8. The betterment of conditions in
OSkaloosa rests with those of greatest
property interests, especially such as
have helped TO open the saloon We are
thankful to learn that they now assume
that responsibility. Great as our present
provocation is, they shall have our sin
cere support, and our prayer that they
may rigedly enforce existing law, until
they press out upon higher and higher
plains of pure reform

SYMPATHY FOR BOERS.
Resolutions Are Presented in the
Senate-Absence of a Quorum
Prevents Action.

Washington, April 30.-Quite unex-
pectedly, the senate on Saturday was
brought face to face with the propo-
sition to extend it's sympathy to the
Beers in their war with Great Britain.
In the midst of the consideration of
bills of minor Importance Senator Pet
tigrew IS. d. called up the following
and asked for it's immediate consuder-
alton:
Whereas, From the hour of achieving
their own independence the people Of the
United States have regarded with SYM
pathy the struggles of other people to free
themselves from European domination.
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we watch with deep and
abiding interest the heroic battle of the
South African republics against cruelty
and oppression and our best hopes go out
for the full success of their determined
contest for liberty"
When Senator Lodge (Mass.) had
formally ascertained that no commit
tee had reported the resolution to the
senate, he moved that it be referred
to the committee on foreign relations.
Without a word of debate the vote was
taken, 81 senators voting in favor of
reference and IL against it. AS the
vote disclosed the absence of quo
rum, an effort was made to secure one,
but it was unsuccessful, and the sem
ate adjourned. Party lines were not
drawn in the vote to refer. While all
those who voted against reference are
in favor of the adoption of the reso-
luton, several senators on both sides
of the chamber, who are known to be
favorable to the resolution, voted to
send it to the committee. AS a quo
rum was not present and voting, the
resolution retains it's place subject to
call at any time. Beyond the passage
of few bills, no business of inn
portance was transacted.
Washington, April 3O.-The house
passed number of bills of Importance
Saturday, and the major portion Of the
session was devoted to the senate bill
to create commission to adjudicate
the claims of citizesn of the United
States against Spain, assumed by this
country by the treaty of Paris. The
bill developed considerable opposition,
and was finally recommitted to the
committee on war claims with instruc-
tions to report back bill to refer the
claims to the court of claims. The sem
ate bills to recognize the services of
Lieut.. Newcomb and the officers and
men of the revenue cutter Hudson,
which rescued the torpedo boat Wins
low at Cardenas, Cuba, by comforting
gold and silver medals upon them, and
to retire Capt. Hodgson, of the revenue
cutter Hugh Mccullough, for meritorious
services, were passed.
