The EIdon Affair Among Those Men.
toned in American Banker.

ne Eldon AFFAIR among lnoSe WEN
toned in American Banker.
An article on Country Bank Rob-
berries" appearing in the last issue Of
the American Banker contains much
that is of interest to country bankers.
1t shows that the large number of rob-
berries that have taken place during
the past few years and which seems
to be on the increase In certain sec
tons of the country is due to certain
conditions. City banks are seldom
attacked The danger is too great
and is becoming greater all the time
as the efficiency of the system of
alarms increases with new inventions.
Country banks in the more thickly
settled sections of the country are in
variably the sufferers. They do not
have the protection that the city
banks have and are generally good
prey for the robbers. The newer sec
lions of the country are in less dan
ger, for people there are not apt to
visit the robbers captured with sum-
mary justice, which prospect frightens
some who might otherwise be inclin-
ed to crack the safes. Here another
danger to the country banks arises.
Their safes are often old fashioned
and easily cracked.
Here is the real secret of the rob-
berries. They are, as rule, not the
work of experts. Ordinary buns and
loafers are generally the guilty par
ties. Nitro-glycerine is generally the
agent used and with good effect in
many cases. Pinkerton detectives de-

[From Tuesdays Dailyl
The local recruiting station in this
city, which has been in charge of Fred
F. Vedder. was closed today. Thir-
teen men have enlisted for the United
States cavalry and infantry. Captain
G. B. Sweeney, of les Moines, was in
Ottumwa this morning and completed
the final arrangements for the trans
portation of the men who enlisted.
Six of the men left this afternoon
on Burlington No. 10 for Fort Meade,
South Dakota, where they will be mus
tered into the Thirteenth United
States cavalry, and the others leave
on Burlington No. Wednesday morn
ing for Vancouver Barracks. where
they will join the Twenty-eighth in
fantry. The local office will be open
ed again about May Is. Mr.. Vedder
will return to Des Moines, and expects
to be sent to Creston, where a recruit
ing station will be opened May 1. The

DOG CATCHER TO BEGIN WORK.
May Homeless CANNES Will Be TAX.
en- to the Pound.

The dog catcher will begin active
work the first of May, and dogs that
are not licensed, will be taken in, and
the usual penalty of death will be adj
ministered to them by the man who
will drive over the city in wagon
with an animal cage upon it.
Mayor Picker stated to a Courier
reporter this afternoon that he was
going to make this law an absolute
one, and after the first of the month,
every dog in the city of Ottumwa
would have to have it's license or else
they would not be allowed to run on
the streets. Last year it is claimed
that over $500 was collected from
fines of dogs alone, and this summer
the prospects for twice that amount
look favorable, as there are numerous
dogs of all descriptions that run the
streets. New tags have been
sent for, and the price will be s1.50
for male dogs and So for female dogs.

ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
This Information Will Prove Boon to
Ottumwa Mothers.

If a juvenile member of your family
lacks control over the kidney secre-
tions at night do not scold or whip
the child. The coating or lining of
the bladder is inflamed and the secre-
tons are SO full of acid that they irri-
tate that organ and bed wetting is the
result. The hundreds of testimonials
from every state in the union all de-
claring children have been cured of
this weakness by the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills prove that at least in
their case the remedy did what was
promised, namely stopped the social
ed habit. Here is proof for Ottumwa
mothers:
Mrs. G. FL. Sponsler, OF Burnside
near Sheridan ave., South Ottumwa,
says: Sour little girl when about a
year and half old had an attack of
la grippe. which affected her kidneys
and the auxiliary organs. She partial
ly lost the power of control and as a
result was annoyed curing the day, and
her rest frequently disturbed during
the night. saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised for such troubles and went
to Will i. Sargent's drug store in Hof-
mann block and got a box for her. Be-
fore she had used half of ii we noticed
decided benefit and continuing the
treatment for time longer, her kid
neys appeared in normal condition.
after stopping the use of the remedy,
the weakness did not return"

clare that few of the bank robberies
they are called upon to investigate are
the work of experts. In committing
the robberies the tramps usually form
themselves into gangs of five or six
men. One or two of them usually
work at the safe and the others stand
guard. Occasions have been known
when the outside guards kept sheriff
and his posse at bay while their con-
federates completed their work inside.
Even if captured they are difficult to
convict, owing to the fact that all OF
the work done is done at night and
they keep themselvs concealed in the
day time. Most Of them are without
criminal records and hence unknown
to the police
Illinois has experienced the largest
number of robberies since 1885,.
