Guest music house of Burlington, who
is said to nave embezzIed a sum Of
money of about $1,000, has been cap
tured on the Pacific coast and will be
brought back to Iowa to be tried for the
crime which he committed over Il year
ago, as announced in the dispatches
from California yesterday
Weller resided in Burlington for
short time. during which he formed
many acquaintance here. among whom
he created a favorable impression. He
was married to West Burlington
young lady. who has relatives residing
at that place and on South Hill in Bur-
lington at the present time.
In January, 1889, he engaged with the
James a. Guest music house as travel
ing salesman. He took up his residence
at Red Oak, Iowa, and the territory
which he covered extends from Red
Oak west thru Iowa. On July IL, 1899, /,
lletter was received from him to8the ef-5
fleet that he had made several sales and
would send in a report on the following
Monday. This was the last heard from
| him and upon investigation ii was
found that he had made a number of
money collections which aggregated
about $1,000, and With his wife and
i3-year-old son had disappeared from
Red Oak for parts unknown.
The first clue to Weller S Whereabouts
Was gotten this spring and the manner
1 of its discovery is an interesting Incl
ldent in the case.
A young man from Iowa Who former
lily knew Weller was in San Francisco
! some months ago and one day stepped
Into a tobacco store for cigar. He was
surprised To recognize in the proprietor.
who waited on him, his former Iowa
acquaintance. Weller, and he stretched
tout his hand and said. Why. hello,
Weller. But Weller refused to recog-
nize him and told him he was mistaken
4 in his man. The young Iowa nlan re-
turned home and Chief of Police Lem
4 berger. of Burlington. who had been
working on the case. learned Of the
Injecting in the San Francisco cigar
store. He began To lay plans for We'll
/ ler'a capture. Weller, however, mis-
Isrusted that something was up and sold
his cigar business and the trace of him
t was again lost.
4 Since then he was located on the road
3tagain. with his place of residence but a
block and a half from the police sta
Etion in San Francisco.
Deputy Sheriff William Thomas left
Red Oak on Friday evening for San
3Francisco and will bring Weller back
at once. He will be tried on a charge
\ of embezzlement at Red Oak next fall.

DEMOCRATIC WAYS.
rom the Daily Republican of yesterday.

From the Daily Republican of yesterday
The New Castle City Council has been
harshly criticised for holding star cham
Der sessions. This has called forth ex-
plantations from City Councimen Schu.
hardt and Porter. who. said they were
sorry the body went into secret session,
because it had given bad impression to
the public There were numerous real
estate owners who were unable to paw
their taxes for 1896. Even Collector
Tobin said he felt himself upiustly
treated. He had collected SD, 224. Sc ont
OF possible collection of less than $l4,-
QUO and for 1895 collected $l2, 800. Had
the inspectors OF the election during his
administration performed their duties,
ne would have collected more money
from the poll taxables. Men were al
lowed to vote without paying their
taxes. He thought it only right to pro.
tect the names of people who always pay
their taxes, but who still owe portion
and are paying as they can. This is plain
language from Democratic collector
and shows that Democrats did not have
to pay their taxes TO enable them to
qualify to vote. This is the way in which
Tor years the county taxes were col
lected IN New Castle county.

THE FARMERS TRUST.
From the Dover Delawarean.

From the Dover Delawarean,
Under the above heading the New
York Sun OF yesterday edtorially re
marks.
The farmers of Kent county, Del, have
termed trust called the Farmers Pro.
duce Association, and they have invited
the farmers of the other Delaware coun.
ties to join in. Its naked and unashan,e ed
object is to put up prices. 1t is resolved,
ior instance, not to sell tomatoes for less
than ~ ton, an advance of two dollars
or SO over recent prices. A calm and en-
lightened selfishness marks this trust
ana entities it to the execrations of Anti
Trust Conferences.
Now, OF course, laws State and ma
lonal ought to be hurled at these mis-
guided ruraists, and if necessary, thev
should be dispersed by an Grafton by
Col. Bryan himself; but their case. how.
ever deplorable, is interesting. 1t shows
now general is the desire to combine for
business purposes and how harmless
rails the talk against it. Instead of see
ing that they are downtrodden serfs.
who ought to arise in their wrath and
how against trusts, the Kent county
farmers have made trust of their own.
