BURGLAR Makes Confession.

Muscatine, Nov. 20.-Joseph Murphy,
who was arrested in this city Saturday
morning Nov. s, charged with having
broken into and entered the postoffice
at Foster, Ill.,, on the night of Nov. Z,
Tuesday afternoon before Magistrate
Johnson, in Rock Island, confessed his
guilt and admitted that he stole the
money, but stated that he did SO under
the influence of liquor, and asked that
he be sent to the penitentiary at once,
as he wanted to get thru with the pun
jshment in a short time. The magis-
trate told him that was impossible. but
bound him over to await the action OF
the grand jury, which meets in jan
uary.
Prior to the preliminary hearing there
was a little difficulty as to who should
handle the case. The United States
marshal came up from Peoria, stating
that the case was one wherein the fed
e-al court had jurisdiction and that the
state court had nothing to do with 1T.
But the county attorney insisted that
the case was purely local and that the
federal official had no business with the
prisoner and refused to have him given
up. so the United States marshal went
back to Peoria without his man.
The prisoner was accordingly taken
before Magistrate Johnson, of Rock
Island, for his preliminary hearing.
Chief of Police Rice, of this city, and
J. f. Foster. of Foster, H., were the
important witnesses. The testimony OF
Mr.. Foster was taken first. He told OF
the robbery, the condition in which he
found things. and the various reasons
why he suspected Murphy.

of Her Mothers Request.

Special TO Times Republican,.
Waterloo, Nov. 20.-A case was filed
in the district court for the January

Il. Turner be declared void and of no
account. The case is entitled Bertha
Ethel Turner by her next friend, Mrs.
Ayalene Turner VS.. George Arnold, eX-
ecutor of the last will and testament

d. Wathen. In the petition the plain
tiff states that Mrs. Turner, the grand

she was mentally unbalanced and east

The plaintiff also claims that the house

STRONG BOX is EMPTY.
Blackhawk County's Treasury
Depleted

Waterloo, Nov. 20.-Blackhawk coun-
tvs treasury is depleted. Every fund is
used up and many warrants are yet un-
paid. The payment of these will have
to be postponed until after Jan. i and
many of them can mot be paid until
March, as the receipts during the first
Part of the year will be small.
The receipts of the county from all
sources up to date, which means prac-
t:cally for the year aside from the
money derived from the delinquent tax
sale, is s455, 701.62. The principal part
of this, in fact, all but about 100000
was derived from taxation. The tax
collection for the first six months of the
year amounted to $166,771.91. The re-
ceipts from other sources, including
fees for the various offices, ETC., for the
same period, was $19,71S.76. The tax
collections for the first half up to date
are $257,999.55 and receipts from Other
sources $19,T18.76. The total expendi-
ture, the amount paid out and not in
Guiding the outstanding warrants, for
the year is S426,669.40. This leaves a
total of about $4,000 in the treasury
but it all belongs in the school fund and
includes Blackhawk county's share OF
the apportionment of the state school
fund.
Every other fund in the county has
long since been depleted. The bridge
fund is far short owing to the heavy
damages from the last summers floods
and many warrants, already drawn
will have to be held until the collec-
tions next year can raise sufficient
money to pay them. The county fund
which usually has considerable left
over. is also short. This was due to the
heavy expense of caring for smallpox
patients last season, the county's ex-
pense being over $4,000. This was paid
out of the county fund.
The poor fund is always short, the
statute limitations being such that the
supervisors can not make a levy suffi-
GENTLY large to meet it. Heretofore
money has always been transferred
from the county fund-to meet the de-
ficiency in the poor fund, but this year
there is not a cent of surplus in the
county fund.
This condition Of affairs will only
cause temporary embarrassment and
the warrants will all be met during the
first quarter Of 1908. when the current
expenses will be small.

Bill Proposed to Preserve Mus
sci Shells Found in Rivers
of Arkansas
MEYERS TAKES THE INITIATIVE
Member of State Legislature Interested
Says People Do Not Object to Ship
ping Shells From State, But Want
Protection of MusseIs by Closed Sea-
son During Spawning Period.
Special to Times-Repupllcan.

Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, Nov. 20.-The shipment
of shells from Arkansas to this place
and elsewhere has aroused the people
of Arkansas. DR.. Meyers, member OF
the legislature in that state, proposed
to introduce bill to preserve the mus
sci shells found in the rivers of that
state. That can be done in Arkansas
from the fact that the rivers are inside
the state, and the laws can reach them,
while here the Mississippi river is a
government stream and under the con-
troll Of congress.
In personal letter to friend, who
is leading manufacturer of pearl but
tons in this city, DR.. Meyers defines
his position in the matter little more
clearly. A newspaper report from Ar
kansas states that DR.. Meyers said
shells were being shipped out at 81 and
IS per ton, and that they might have
to be shipped back at $50 or $50, but
this seems to be false report, as he
claims he was misquoted. DR.. Meyers
also states in this letter that there is
no particular excitement regarding the
matter and that the people do not OBJ
ject to the shipping of shells from the
state, but that there is feeling that
there should be a closed season, SO that
the mussels should have an opportunity
to multiply. DR.. Meyers, however,
wants the expectation of shells from
this country to foreign countries strict
ly prohibited, but he is in favor of In
terstate commerce and wishes no re-
strictions placed on the shipping of
shells out of the state. He expresses
his ideas in nut shell, which voices
the sentiment of his home manufac-
turers, when he says: 1--WE want the
protection of mussels by a closed sea-
son during the spawning period"
DIR. Meyers also believes that the
crowfoot or any other device or me-
chanical contrivance that enters the
soft part of the mussel should be pro-
hibitted in the waters of that state, and
thinks that the only instrument or APP
paratus that should be used, is some
thing that will not kill, but leave the
mussel in the water uninjured. The
doctor thinks something should be
done for the good of the cause and to
prolong the life of the industry, that is
now distributing millions of dollars
yearly for the benefit of all, and he
also thinks that 1t is high time to look
into these matters before such inroads
are made into the source of raw ma
terial as to cause it's destruction.
The bill of DR.. Meyers is of great in
terest to the button people of Musca-
tine, and if he succeeds in preserving
the mussel shells in Arkansas for many
years, he will receive the thanks of this
community at least.

foreman of the American Bridge Con-

so mysteriously last July, and who. ac-
cording to later accounts, died in KAN
sas as the result of being slugged and
robbed, is very much alive, according
to the story of a Des Moines man who
was in the city yesterday and who
thought he was able to substantiate his
statements.
According to the story of this Des
Moines man, Barnett had been gam
bling and lost heavily. He had been
following the game for several days
and luck was against him. Frank
Johnson, who then conducted a gam
bling place at the corner of Third and
Walnut streets, Stitzel & Lynch, who
conduct another at the corner of Fourth
and Walnut streets in Des Moines. ad-
mitted that he had lost heavily in their
places, Johnson claiming that he lost
$3.50 in his place the night before he
disappeared. The Des Mofnes police
discovered this and did not make much
of q search FOR Barnett. The Ameri-
can Bridge Company, altho it denied
that Barnett was short in his accounts,
afterwards admitted that he was about
5000 short in money which he had Sc
cured to pay the men.
Regarding the story that he had
been murdered, at Wichita, Kan. this
Is claimed by the Des Moines man to
have been a fake which Barnett started
in order to throw the detectives OF the
