On last Tuesday we enjoyed very
pleasant call from Mr.. E. E. Johnston,
editor Of the Rockwell City Advocate,
who with his wife was spending few
hours in our city. Mr.. Johnston is
recognized as one of the most success
full and brainy newspaper men in
western Iowa. In town of 1000 in
habitants he publishes twelve page
weekly which for news and general APP
pearance is hard to beat. Indeed,
Rockwell City owes much of its stand
ing among it's neighbors to the excel
lence of the Advocate.

,.DlED.


On Wednesday, April IL, occurred
the death of Martha, the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugo Gebert. The
little one had had but delicate hold
on life during the short year of her ex-
istence but of late she had appeared
better and her sudden death from heart
disease was a great blow to her SORROW
ing parents and their many friends.
The way in which Mary, the little
twin, already misses her sister is most
pathetic and we can but feel that the
separation is but for life time and that
in brighter world the twin souls may
go hand in hand together throughout
all eternity.
Our people extend their most sincere
sympathy to the parents grieving for
the little life so suddenly taken from
them and trust that they will find COM
fort in the words of Christ; Suffer the
little children to come unto me, for
of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. y
and that the bright Easter time will be
a token to them of the resurrection Of
the pure soul of their child into hap
pier existence. The funeral services CON
Quoted yesterday morning at the home
by Rev. A; g. Martyr were largely at

TRIED TO DOWN Tim.
Young French Canadian
Was Robbed
On Portland Bridge By Three Young
Men.
They Then Threw Him
Into the Water.
The Thieves Stole Nine Dollars
From Him.

At few minutes before ten O'Clock
last evening a young man who says that
his name is Joseph Boulet, that he had
come from Worcester, Mass, ON the
steamer Bay State yesterday morning
and that he is nineteen years of age,
came into the police station accompanied
by Officers Craig and White. The young
man was completely drenched and said
that this had been caused by being
thrown over Portland bridge by two men
who were strangers to him.
81 set out for a walk last nighU," he
said to the officers, and decided to go
over to the Cape. On my way back and
while passing over the bridge I fell in
with three young fellows. They began to
talk with me and I answered all their
questions. They inquired of me where
was from and after I had told them they
asked me when was going back home.
said, oh, I think I shall go back by
Wednesday or Thursday. NO you
won't, answered one of the men. Then
the next thing that knew of was that
they had caught hold of me and had. be-
gun to go through me. I had about 50 in
my pockets and they took all of this in
no time. Then W lille one OF the men con-
tinued along, the other two grabbed me
and lowered me down over the bridge.
They let go of me after they had got me
over the railing and dropped down nto
the water which was at low tide, but
about seven or eight feet deep. Luckily
could swim so L managed to reach one
of the piles of the bridge, and after cry
ing out some minutes for help two young
men came along and pulled me out.
They walked along with me until I met
two officers. -
Young Boulet was well cared for after
he had arrived at the station, Deputy
Marshal Firth placing him in the lodging
room where a comfortable bed was pro-
vided. He was not a5le to give a very
good description of the three. men who
had robbed him. All that he could re-
member was that they had on light suits
of clothes. The pol will thoroughly in
vestigate the case and win make every
effort to secure the guilty parties.
Boulet says that he came to Portland
for the purpose of obtaining work. For
the last two months he has been working
in a mill at Worcester, Mass. His old
home is at Capstignac, which is about
forty-two miles below Quebec. Both his
father and mother are still living at that
place.

the dogs, among which are specimens of
the finest breeds, attract attention for the
baby elephants "Toby'' and "Pinto"

The show itself is marvellous illustra-
ton of how animals may be trained.
Ponies, dogs, monkeys and elephants
danced, marched, performed intricate mill

tricks, etc., which kept the children in a
state of continued delight.
