picking.
John Adams, the man arrested by
Constable Koontz and Special officer
Schneider Wednesday night for pocket
picking, wasreleased Thursday afternoon
when his case was called before Justice
Clark. This action was taken because
Mr.. Ruxton. the Gearing man whose
pocket was picked failed to appear to
prosecute. The officers do not under-
stand why Ruxton failed to appear. His
money was still in their possession, the
costs were taxed to him and they were
paid out of the funds recovered at the
time of the theft.
Another case of pocket picking was
reported Thursday afternoon at the car
nival grounds, the victim being an old
lady who was spending the day in the
city, but who did not give her name or
re sidence to the officers. A purse con-
tanning $11.S0 which she carried in the
pocket of her skirt was taken from her.
She had pinned the pocket at the top,
but when she had occasion to use her
purse she found the pocket unpinned
and the purse gone.

One Hours.
Jury in McGlade.Bartley Saloon
Case Finds for Defendant in
Short Order.

One man who would not surrender
his convictions when opposed to those
of eleven others succeeded in bringing
about a disagreement in the liquor
damage suit of Mrs. Christine Johnson
against Saloonist Owen I. BARLEY,
and the jury, after being out twenty
one hours, was called into court and
discharged from further deliberations
on the case.
The trial was concluded and the jury
sent out at o'clock Thursday after
noon. From the first the jury was al
most unanimous in favor of a verdict
for the saloonkeeper, and at o'clock
Thursday night stood IL to for de-
PENDANT. The eleventh juror could
not be brought around to the way of
thinking of the others. and the jury
men spent the night sleeping on the
floors and benches in the jury room
in the third story of the court house.
AS there was no prospect for an agree
ment Judge Caswell, just before noon
today, summoned the jurors and dis
missed them from the case. Mrs.
johnson was suing for damages to the
amount OF 1899 for alleged sales Of
liquors to her husband, whom she
claimed was an habitual drunkard.
t A jury was secured Thursday eve
ming to serve in the case of Kate Nc
Glade against Owen T. BARLEY, suit
similar to that brought against the
same defendant by Mrs. Johnson. ex-
cept that in this case the husband of
the plaintiff is graduate of a gold
cure institution. The following jurors
were accepted: L. E. Darling. j. T.
Packer, w. B. Strickland. Mark Moler,
-. N. Delano, H. II. Beaman. 3. H.
Rhem, Henry Zilm, G. b. McCombs,
II. B. Parsons, j. B. Gaunt and H. F..
Smith. The trial was brief, the evil
dence being all in before noon today.
when the jury was instructed and sent
out to deliberate.
The jury had little trouble in reaching
an agreement and seemed to be Of one
mind from the first. as Immediately
after returning from dinner verdict for
the defendant saloonist was returned.
Both Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. McGlade
have several suits against other Mar
shalltown saloonists pending at this
term of court.

lady's skirt and tore It, frightening the
lady into Mysteries, eliminated his bear

The Statue Turning to. Life" and its
edjunctive features have proved one OF
the cleanest and most attractive features
of the Midway. and the exhibition has
mystified thousands who have witnessed

carnival Not one inch of available
space in all OF the many large feed
yards of the city was unoccupied. and
many Of the country people had to be
turned away because of lack of accom-
modatlons for their horses.

came to the city expecting to reap a
harvest from the unsuspecting at the
carnival, evidently became aware that

A committee of ministers, called by
his presiding elder under the provi-
sions of the Methodist discipline, has
suspended Rev. Dr. Swallow of Penn
sylvania until certain charges against
him can be tried at his annual confer
ence session which takes place in
March. These charges relate to state
ments made by DR.. Swallow regarding
the part which he alleges Rev. G. V.
Hartzell played in an attempt to mob
DR.. Swallow on account of an editorial
in his Pennsylvania Methodist at the
time of President McKinley's assassi-
nation.
The thousands of admirers of the

with keen interest. Having carefully
read his utterances for years, we shall

stepped the bounds of truth in this in
stance. He is incapable of doing such

1t is impossible to give any accurate
Idea of the work accomplished during the
twelve months represented by the finan-
cial report. Possibly the best we could
do would be to say that we have carefully
guarded every item to make the results
/. as great as we possibly could; that we
have studied every feature Of the work
to produce the largest results possible
with the funds and equipment at our dis
pOsal.
Some idea may, however, be gained from
the following:
We have had an average of more than
committee for twelve months-a little
over 70 months work having been done
during the year.
We have sent out approximately 22,OQ
pieces OF mail and express matter, includ-
Ing letters, postals, circulars, literature and
advertising matter. Several hundreds Of
thousands Of pages of literature mot
counting the literature upon which the re-
clplents paid postage or expressage, which
would aggregate large additional amount,
the literature itself being furnished free
Dy the committee) )are included herein.
The number of meetings held cannot be
stated with satisfactory accuracy, but
probably would number about one thou
sand.
Our speakers and canvassers have trav-
eled an aggregate of about 81 900 miles, on
the cars. The additional distances cover
ed on foot, by team and bicycle would
probably girdle the globe, or make a total
Of $4,000 miles.
1t is impossible to give any significant
data as to the number or circulation Of
the news and propaganda items furnished
daily, weekly and monthly periodicals.
We can safely say that by the usual meth
DDS Of computation adopted by newspaper
men we have reached millions of eyes, al
though this branch Of the work, important
as it is, has been shamefully neglected
and we hereby give our pledge to greater
activity during the coming year.

A poet has said of the saloon that it
appropriately called a bar:
A bar to heaven, a door to hell:
Whoever named it, named it we'll.
A bar to manlness and wealth,
A door to want and broken health.
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to sin and grief and shame;
A bar to hope, bar to prayer.
A door to darkness and despair.
A bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless strife;
A bar to all that's true and brave,
A door to every drunkard's grave.
A bar to joys that home imparts,
A door to tears and aching hearts;
