IN JAIL
Bert Smith and Chas. Schultz Cap
tured by Ottumwa Of1cers.
BOTH MEN LIVE IN THIS CITY
VIII Be Taken to Des Moines Monday
Morning by Chief Gray and Turned
Over to the Military Authorities
The Penalty for Their Act.

lFrom Saturdays Daily.1
Bert A. Smith and Charles Schultz
are in the county Jail charged with be-
ing deserters from the United States
army. Chief Gray will leave with the
two men Monday morning for Des
Moines, where he will turn them over
to the military authorities. Smith
and Schultz both live in Ottumwa.
They enlisted in the Fourteenth cav
airy in this city in February and were
sent to Fort Leavenyorth, Kan, where
they were attached to their regiment.
After about a months service the
men concluded that they had enough,
and one day, after they had been ex-
cused from duty for short time, they
disappeared.
Returned Home.
They made their way back to Ottuna-
wa and about the time they reached
here, Chief Gray had received their
descriptions and had begun watch
for. them. The third man who desert
ed with them, Luther Kelley, was cap
tured Wednesday aud was taken to
Des Moines Thursday morning by
Chief Gray Before Chief Gray left
for Des Moines with Kelley he had re-
ceived word that Schultz was In OF
tumwa and he instructed Captain Gal
lagher to look out for him. Gallagher
located Schultz Thursday evening and
he was arrested by Gallagher just as
he was coming over the bridge across
the race at the foot of Wapello street
that night. Schultz was placed in jail
and his capture was kept quiet, as it
was feared Smith, who was also known
to be in town would take fright and
clear out.
Smith is Arrested.
Last evening, when Chief Gray ar.
rived from Des Moines, he located
Smith at his fathers house near the
city limits in the northwest part Of
town and Captain Gallagher was sent
there after him. Smith was captured
without any attempt at escape and he
was also taken to the county Jail.
TO Be Taken to Leavenworth.
Captain Sweezey, the recruiting Off
Ger at Des Moines, is at present out OF
the city. but Kelley was placed in Jail
there and will be held until Captain
Sweeney returns when he, in company,
with Smith and Schultz. will be taken
to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
The Penalty.
The laws governing the conduct Of
soldiers prescribe that during times OF
war, a deserter, upon conviction shall
be shot, but in times of peace impris-
onment in the military prisons is the
penalty. For such offenses such as
Kelley, Smith and Schultz are alleged
to have committed the sentences in
the past have been from one to Ave
years imprisonment, according to the
discretion Of the court martial and the
attending circumstances.

Hints

Hints.
In circular prepared by President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor, and sent to affiliated unions,
among others he gives the following
hints:
No strike should be inaugurated un.
til every effort has been made by
committee to settle the differences
with the employer.
A strike should be inaugurated only
as a last resort.
A conciliatory policy is more advan.
tageous than contest. Arbitration
should be offered before strike has
begun. 1t is easier to adjust differ.
ence before a strike than after.
No strike should be recognized
which was inaugurated before the I'M.
ion had the opportunity of considering
and determining the question.
Whenever the question of strike Is
to be voted upon a secret ballot should
be had and each member required to
write his own ballot
When the union enters into an agree.
ment with an employer, it's terms
should be faithfully kept, regardless Of
the temptations to break it.
Efforts should be concentrated to
reduce hours of labor, until at least the
eight-hour day is firmly established.
The shorter work-day insures high
er wages and more permanent employ
ment.
Remember that
Whether you work by the piece,
Or work by the day,
Reducing the hours
Increases the pay"
BY all means avoid overtime. 1t is
the indirect process for frightening
the hours of daily labor. 1t is always
followed by reductions in wages, SO
that shortly thereafter wages for the
Heightened work-day are less than for
| the shorter.
The union should be maintained at
all hazards, in defeat as we'll as in vic
| tory.
The union should never be dissolved
Ill case of discouraging circumstances
maintain the organization. The time
will come when the workers will real
ize the necessity for union; and the
union maintained will make unneces.
sary large amount Of preparatory
work, and thus be the better prepared
to serve the interests of the workers.
Demand union-made goods.
Demand union-labeled goods under
all circumstances.

Waterloo, May 49,. Especial. -
Miss Ledwick, for such she said was
her name, was yesterday given a half
fare ticket and started for her home
at South Bend, Ind, where she said
her father resided at 725 West Mon
roe street. She is neat and comely In
appearance but she told a tale OF de-
bauchery that made men look hard
and women SILVER. She will be six
teen years old next month yet for the
past five months she has been living
with man named Adams, as his wife.
She was enticed away from Catholic
school by him, she says, and since
that time she has been unable to get
away from him, being threatened with
her life at times should she attempt
to escape. Adams is 45 years old. He
cannot be found and could some Of the
women to whom she told her story,
get chance at him it is not likely
that he would again be guilty Of such
a crime. They have lived at Manly,
Mason City, Kensett and Waterloo
She shought aid of a gentleman here
and he in turn interested several
women in her case. She chung to the
skirts of her befrienders like child.
Agent Williams of the B. G. r. &
N. violated the rules of his company
by selling her a half fare ticket. He
will explain the matter to the officials
and believes that his actions will. be
sustained and approved. "A message
was sent to the father Of the girl at
the address given by her, telling him
OF her coming.

gone into liquidation with liabilities
aggregating about $4,000. The assets

Eighteen months ago number of
farmers around here fancied they
were tired of enriching the grocers of
this city and determined to operate a
store of their own thereby getting, as
they thought, their goods at cost or a
trifie more. One thousand dollars
was subscribed and the stock bought.

doors of the concern. Thus ends an.
