Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton, the en-
inent naturalist. and friend of the wild
animal, whose delightful stories of wild
animal life are known by almost every
intelligent child of school age In the
country, arrived in the city this morn
ing from Lincoln, H.. to fill his lecture
engagements
Mr. Seton was seen by Times Re-
publican representative this afternoon,
who enjoyed half hours chat con-
corning some recent animal friends
which the naturalist has made. One
of them is in this city. and Is pet
squirrel owned by Mr.. William M.
Mailer, of 206 East Main street. Mr.. Sc
ton is constantly on the alert for new
friends. and the Marshalltown squirrel
may figure in story from the authors
pen in the near future. With the as
sistance of the newspaper man Mr.. Sc
ton prepared piece of dark straw col
ored paper, on which was spread SOL
ution of crude vaseline and lampb,ack,
on which Mr.. Squirrel was induced to
walk Altar his feet We're covered with
the black substance he was placed on a
piece of white paper. and Mr.. Seton has
an everlasting monument to his mem-
DRY.
Wherever an animal goes he leaves
an account of himself" said Mr.. Seton.
and his tracks tell what he does, and
they are always very interesting"
Mr.. Seton spent portion of the fore
noon In the snow investigating and
sketching dog tracks. each one of
which. he says. tells him a story. AT
Lincoln, ILL.,, where he lectured Satur-
day. he sketched a fox squirrel perched
upon the limb of high tree, in below
zero weather. He also made many
sketches of dog and rabbit tracks, and
in each instance was able to tell the
breed of the dog by his tracks.
Mr.. Seton purchased this morning
from Mr. Fl. Singer the skin of pole
cat, which he will send to the National
Museum, at Washington. He is always
collecting interesting specimens of one
kind and another that he forwards to
the museum to be placed in the collec-
ton of animals.
In reply to the question concerning
the change in his name, Mr.. Seton said
that he had been asked the question be-
tore, ana flau DuU one answer, ana tDaI
was that he hadn't changed it. My
name is Seton" he replied, and always
has been, but have written under the
nom de plume of Seton Thompson
am simply using my own name now,
and my future publications will be I'M
der it.
Mr.. Seton is delightful gentleman
to meet personally is very cordial and
an interesting talker. He is Al years of
age, altho he doesn't look 1t. and says
that the only way he has of knowing
that he is growing older is that he is
not able to make as long jaunts as he
used to without becoming fatigued AL
tho of English birth he is proud of the
fact that he is an American, and in
his conversation he shows the eastern
accent of his home state, Connecticut
In speaking of n little incident concern
ing his English birth, Mr.. Seton tells a
story on himself that occurred in Penn
sylvania. With much gusto, and with
so many complimentary remarks that
he wanted some place to hide, the

Mrs. Northup missed an opal ring, sci
with three stones, a gold dollar thai
had been kept In the jewel box that
had contained the ring, also several
smal coins of an intrinsic value and
two or three other trinkets. The only
plausible suspicion fastened itself on
the domestic. and after mature de
liberation, despite the fact that the
girl denied positively all knowledge OF
the missing articles, Mr. Northup filed
an information charging her with the
theft. Arrest by City Marshal Nichol-

denied the stealing and alleged per-
secution on the part of her employers
After sweating process she finally
admitted that she was guilty, and
produced the ring. The gold dollar
rare, had been sold for its face value
informed that it had been stolen, i'm
mediately returned it to it's lawful
owner. The other coins had been CIV

luxuries at Blacks grocery store. May
or Jones sentenced the girl to thirty
days in Jail, making the penalty a
little more severe than he ordinarily
would because of the street character
of the girl. who had been warned at
previous times concerning her actions
on the street.
The stolen ring has somewhat of a
history. as this is the second time II
has been purloined from the Northur
home. On another occasion May

more than thirty years of continuous

Heath will ask in the way of a settle

will not be any small sum. The heirs of
