CHARGED WITH BURGLARY.
Young Man Brought Here From e
don TODAY,

oOH iOudy.
From Wednesdays Daily.
Harvey Canterbury, of Eldon, was
arrested at that place last night on the
charge of burglary, and was brought
to Ottumwa at noon today and taken
before the grand jury to answer to the
same. Constable Jake Roberts, R.
Ritz and A. ]. Henig accompanied the
prisoner to Ottumwa as eye witnesses
to the crime which the defendant is
said to have committed.
For some time past the proprietors
of the Eldon mill have been missing
flour and last night they essayed to
capture the thief if possible. Consta-
BILE Roberts and Messrs. Ritz and He
mig accordingly concealed themselves
in the mill and say they saw Canter-
berry leaving the place with sack of
flour on his shoulder. Just before he
reached the door one of the men in
concealment made slight noise and
Canterbury dropped the flour, but he
failed to make his escape. Constable
Roberts placed him under arrest and
he was taken before the grand jury
without the process of preliminary
hearing.
Canterbury is young man who for
merly resided in Ottumwa. He was
born in Eldon, but his mother at pres
ent resides at Omaha, Neb.

STREET CARNlV AL.
Secret Society and Labor Days
Promise to Be Big Events.
FLOATS FOR PARADES WILL Be BUILT
Invitations Are Extended to all Sc
cret Societies and Labor Unions 10
Participate Merchants Requested
to Decorate Business Houses.

Secret Society and Labor days at the
street carnival promise to be among
! its biggest events. Secret societies all
over southern Iowa are invited to par
| ticipate and it is expected that the col
umn when it forms will be one long
! glittering line of men clothed in the
habiliments of hundreds of secret Or
ders. Prominent among the orders
| who will attend are the Maccabees and
| they expect to have several hundred
| men in line. These together with va.
| rious others are expected to bring to
| Ottumwa several thousand people.
On Labor day it is expected that sew
eral thousand workingmen from all ov-
| er this section of the state will fall in
| to line. Labor leaders are making eX-
| tensive preparations and have issued
| invitations to the members of various
crafts to be present. All members of
| local unions are requested to call at
carnival headquarters on Main street
| and register as soon as possible and
give such information as they may be
able to impart in order that the man.
agement may be able to outline plan
for the parade.
For both these parades appropriate
floats will be built, each symbolic of
the occasion. 1t is intended to make
the floats artistic productions, some
thing entirely out of the ordinary and
well worth seeing.
Merchants are invited to decorate
their places of business in the manner
that seems best to them. Many OF
them have signified their intention of
doing this, and if all unite they will
lend holiday air to the scene as well
as attract attention to their places of
business.
The amusement end of the carnival
will be confined to space on East
Main street between Washington and
Marion streets and will extend into the
sunken park. Traffic will be cut off
in this block on Main street entirely
during the week, but it is much bet
than to have Main street crowded with
small shows for its entire length. 9th
er shows will be placed in other plac-
es, probably, but will in no way inter
fere with the use of the streets. The
management takes great pride in the
class of amusements they have secured
and feel sure that the public will ap-
plaud their efforts.

been made to get the farmer to come
with the product of his labor. If he
completes for prize he will have a
personal interest in the carnival and
will feel that it is gotten up for his

lives in town. A long list of mer-

will have huge crowd. Men are out
now billing the various county fairs
that are taking place in southeastern

suits.

were out driving last evening under
the solicitous care of friend, about
thirty friends and neighbors took pos
session of the house. Upon the re-

Courier or any daily or weekly paper
in southern Iowa. Advertisers are
now guaranteed a circulation exceed
ing 5000 copies each issue, and
propositions for fall advertising in it
are coming in in good shape. Local
business men, who want the trade of
the farmers of Wapello and adjoin-
ing counties have now a better and
wider circulated medium than they
have ever had. Better talk to us a.
bout our semi-weekly. Three solicit
tors are now on the road booming its
circulation, and it is increasing at the
rate of from so to 100 new sub
scribers week. And it's right around
here in the trade territory of Ottuln-
wa, too.

AMATEUR BASEBALL LEAGUE.
Local Players Hope to Provide Fans
with Their Fnyoritc Amusement

The prospects are good for local baseball
this season notwithstanding the absence OF
q League team. The sport will be provided
by a league composed of teams which in
clude nearly all the best of local amateur
players.
A meeting, preliminary 10 organization.
will be held next WeGn Eday evening al
Rice's Hall. 145 b Street southeast 1t is
suggested by Adam Johr son. President of
last years local League. 10 form one of
six teams four local and one each from
Alexandria and Rockville. Both the latter
have strong teams and each year have
proved an attraction in competition with
local mines.
Last years League was a success, not
withstanding the fact that it bad to accept
dates at National Park wnen the big
League team was playing out of town and
there Is every reason TO believe that the
organization viii have as good or better
support this season.
The League will be run upon strictly
business principles and the competition for
the pennant will be an earnest one from
beginning to end.
If the National League Park can be Sc
cured upon fair terms so that all the re
ceipts will not have 10 be paid out for
rent, the games will be played on the old
stamping ground OF the fans.

GEORGETOWN'S EASY VICTORY.
The University of Maryland Team y,
Match for the Local Boys.

The University of Maryland baseball
team, accompanied by a host of friends,
was the visiting attraction on Georgetown
Field yesterday afternoon. They are a
comedy lot of youngsters.
They have for some time been looking
forward to the visit hoping they would
be able to settle old scores as well as
soothe old sores growing out of defeats at
the hands of the champions. Consequently
they were in determined and confident
mood, and il is supposed put up the best
game they were capable of under the cir
cumstances. which was the worst exhibit
tion seen upon the Georgetown grounds
this season. The Marylanders were lamen-
tably deficient at the bat They scored one
hit in the sixth inning which was the sum
total of their success in that line. They
managed to get an unearned run in the
eighth.
The locals had no occasion to play the
fine points of the game. They made it a
practice exhibition. in which they gave
some of their unseasoned timber an oppor-
tunity for try-out. Mckay and eastman
took turn in the box and Bowling re-
lieved Walsh in left.
The locals fell upon Brooks in the first
inning and on four hits they sent four
runs home. They added TO these two in
the second. four in the third. three in the
seventh, and two in the eighth, which was
the net result of ten additional hits.
which, with a few timely errors by the
visitors, aggregated sixteen runs.
There was a good audience present yet
on account of the one-sided game there
was neither interest nor excitement.
The Georgetowns play the Carlisle In
dians on Wednesday.
The score:
