FIND CLEW TO ROBBERS.
Pocket Book Belonging to Mrs. Mary Burke
is Picked UP Near Rhode Tavern.

The police of the city have discov-
cred a slight clew to the identity of the
robbers who were working in the city
on last Saturday afternoon as farmer
residing south of the city .has brought
in a pocket book which was taken from
the home of Mrs. Mary Burke and
which was found lying in the road
near the Rhode tavern. The pocket
book contained nothing of any value
and it is supposed that the robbers
dropped it after examining it's con-
tents. Several times in the past rob-
bers have been known to go south
from the city and it is thought posi-
Bile that retreat for the robbers may
be found in the country somewhere
near the place where the pocket book
was found. The chief of police, how
ever, thinks that the finding of the
pocket book does little to solve the
mystery and he is of the opinion that
the pocket book was taken to the spot
and dropped in order to keep the offic-
ers off the real track of the robbers.
No other c1ew has been found to the
guilty parties and it is thought proba-
bic that they made good their escape.

the degree of A. B. in the year 1897,
having earned his way through by sup
plying the pu1pits of nearby churches
and by engaging in manual labor. His
vacations were spent in working in a
lumber mill, in canvassing and in
mission work. He was ordained to the
ministry July 9, 1899. Entered the
Divinity School of the University of
Chicago IN the fall of 1897, where he
has continued up to the present time
with the exception of the summer
months. Has earned his way through

ton June 10, 1901.

A CAR OF HOBOs.
FIVE Tramps Locked Up in Box Car Spend
Easter without Food or Heat.

Five Tramps Locked Up in a Box Car Spend
Easter without Food or Heat.
Easter Sunday failed to prove day
of good cheer for five hobos who spent
the day in Kenosha. The men had
formerly been at Waukegan, but early
Saturday evening they went into box
car to sleep and before they awoke
some of the trainmen had sealed up the
car and sent It on to Kenosha. When
the men discovered their plight they
began to kick All day Sunday they
were locked up in the car without bite
of food.
They made their presence known by
vigorous shouting and cursing, but
they were forced to remain in the car
al day long. Late in the evening one
of the friends of the men seized a Gro
bar and broke the seal on the car and
released them. The men lost no time
in leaving the city and it is probable
that it will be long time before any
of them are seen in this part of the
country again.

PROJECT ALREADY FINANCED
President stickney Announces That
Underwriting Syndicate Will Fur
nish $4,000, OO0-Heavy Home
seekers Traffic.

Recent moves made by the Cedar
Rapids and Rock Island routes have had
the effect of infusing into the Chicago
Great Western a spirit of activity and
that road is now making preparations
for entering Omaha and Sioux City
President A B. Stickney, who is now
stockholders of the road in LONDON, and
has secured permission to raise the funds
necessary for the proposed extensions.
The first thing to be done is the build
ms of a connecting line between Mason
City and Manley junction. This will not
be longer than eighteen miles, but it will
give the Great Western direct line into
Omaha. 1t is Opposed to build another
line from Clarion to Sioux City, a dis
tance of l43 miles.
When the line from Mason City to
Omaha is in operation, the mileage OF the
Great Western from Chicago will be
slightly longer than that of the North
Western and the Milwaukee, and con-
siderably shorter than that of either
Rock Island or the Illinois Central. The
line from St. Paul to Kansas City is al
ready the shortest in use
President Stickney said in New York
yesterday that an underwriting syndicate
had already been formed for the con-
strUction OF the Omaha and Sioux City
extension, and that the expenditure in
Volved would not be less than S. 900, 600
The Union Pacific will profit greatly
from the new line into Omaha, as it
Will thereby secure another feeder for it's
overland line.

The movement to the\Pacific coast is
greater this year than it has ever been
before. Railroad officials say that nearly
$50 home seekers passed through the city
yesterday, a record unprecedented for
the first day in the regular weekly ex-

In addition to the regular excursion
traffic, the officials at the depot were
yesterday engaged in handling a train
load of Scandinavian immigrants who
came from the East. All these are
bound for points in the Northern Mime

mated that there were 200 of these immi-
grants and all of them arrived at New

days arrivals to the city. They are
hired by the railroads for work in the
