Robbed the Priest.

Sioux City, June 6.--Perhaps believ-
ing there was a chance to steal purse
Of $500, which the parishioners of ST.
Mary's church had presented Very Rev.
T. Treacy, burglar visited the paro-
chial residence at Tenth and Douglas
and finding Father Treacy absent
robbed Father Masterson. The miscre-
ant secured S. and memorandum
book and chalice. He overlooked @
gold watch and some money. The book
and the chalice were afterward found
On the rear porch.
The burglar gained access to the
residence thru the kitchen door, opened
with nippers, that left their marks on
the key. He then passed to the front
room on the second floor, where Father
Masterson slept, and went thru the
PRIESTS clothing. He opened the door
OF safe containing books and records,
but finding no valuables retired
Father Masterson did not awaken,
and did not discover he had been
robbed until morning. The open safe
door attracted his attention. and in the
Kitchen he found the door ajar.
Lying on the porch within few feet
CT the door We're the memorandum book
and chalice. Then Father Masterson
went thru his pockets and found S.
missing. The robber left no clue, and
it is not likely he will be caught.

a. |. Frace of Otto Accused of Trying
to Murder Cripple.

to Murder Cripple.
Sioux City, June ga L. F'race, a
grocer at Otto, is in the county Jail
charged with attemting to murder
Charles Thompson, crippled saloon
keeper at Otto.
F'race was formerly in the saloon
business, and, the story goes, sold out
when Thompson invaded the field, and
started a grocery and fruit stand.
Thompson now has fruit and confec-
tionary store, in addition to his saloon,
and Frace has been hostile for some
time, believing Thompson is endeavor-
ing to drive him out.
The story as told by the state is that
Thompson, who had been in bed for
weeks with rheumatism, Saturday went
to his vacant lot adjoining Traces
place. Thompson had furnished some
boys a peanut rooster, and came to help
them start it. He was STOPPING to ex-
anime it when Frace walked over and
kicked him in the head. This left
Thompson in an unconscious condition,
him. When removed to his home
Thompson was on serious condition.
Frace was arraigned before Mayor
Cutting of Otto and fined 500 or thirty
days. Frace appealed. County Attor-
ney Whitney went to Otto and Frace,
before Justice ]. S. Horton. was bound
over to the grand jury in bond of $1,000
Mrs. Frace didn't want to be on her
husbands bond, so Frace was placed in

THIEVES AT CARNIVAL.
Pickpockets Numerous at the Webster
City Show This Week.

| Special to Times Republican.
| Webster City, June 6.-The immense
crowds in attendance upon the carni-
val furnish easy prey for the pick
pockets and other petty thieves, who
make it a business to attend gather
| ings in pursuit of their illegitimate
work. Few such gentry are ever
caught. Occasionally the vigilance of
officers, however, is rewarded as was
the case at the 1885 Northwestern pas
senger train when bold attempt was
made to relieve Thomas Leonard, of
Woodstock, of his pocketbook.
Mr.. Leonard and his daughter had
been attending the carnival. They
went home on the evening passenger.
The train was crowded and many peo-
pie were waiting upon the platform
to board the cars. AS the crowds
getting on and those getting off came
together jam was inevitable. AS
Mr.. Leonard reached the car platform
he passed a small man coming out.
The stranger, noticing Mr.. Leonard's
long pocketbook protruding from
his inside pocket, made a quick pass
at it and started to run. Mr.. Leon
ard turned suddenly and grasped the
man firmly by the coat. A man from
behind struck his arm. This COM
PEELED him to loosen his grasp upon the
thief who strated across lots in the
direction of the Central station.
Deputy Sheriff Sutton and officer
Schell were standing upon the plat
form. The robbery and escape had
taken place almost Instantly. The Of
ficers however, We're equal to the emer-
gency Sutton, gathering up the scent,
started at breakneck pace in pursuit
of the robber. Schell did likewise, but
vert around by the corn cribs to head
off the fellow should he attempt to
hide. Sutton overlook his man at the
Central depot and the two officers land
ed him in Jail. A thorough search was
made, but the pocketpook could not be
found.
The fellow was evidently a member
of an organized gang. His pals tried
their best to liberate him. They, in
some manner, found out where Mr..
Leonard lived. AT o'clock this morn
ing two of them drove up to the Leon
ard home in Wolstock. They offered to
return the $50 which was in the pock-
etbook provided Mr.. Leonard would not
appear against the member of the
gang who is in Jail. Mr.. Leonard alb
solutely refused to do this Both men
have been appreherded.
Mrs. DR.. Tedrow of Williams was also
the victim of these slippery handed
gentry last evening. She was relieved
of her gold watch while on the carni-
val grounds, but does not know when
it was taken. The immense gathering
last evening made it an easy matter to
relieve lady of a watch. especially If
it hung loosely to her dress.

cRlNNELL DEFEATS CORNELL.
Wins an Easy Victory from the Mount
Vernon Methodists.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, June 6.-Yesterday after
noon at Ward field the Iowa College
base ball team played its third league
game of the season and won. This is
the second victory for Grlnnell this sea-
son on the diamond and ties Iowa Col
lege with Ames and the Iowa Univer-
sity for the silver bat. The game with
Cornell yesterday was interesting from
start to finish in spite of the large
score. When the final tally was added
up it was found that Grinnell had shut
cut Cornell and gained sixteen runs
herself.
The work of Grinnell was consistent
and on the whole great'improvement
On the games which she has played here
earlier in the season. Her chances for
the bat are equally good with those of
Ames it is thought.
The tie caused by yesterdays victory
for Grinnell will doubtless be played off
When or where has not yet been ar
ranged Grinnell and Ames are anxious
to play off the tie and if Iowa City
should refuse to play she will simply
forfeit her chances for the bat.
Thus far this season Ames has played
three games and won two; Iowa has
played three and won two and Cornell
has played three and lost each one.
Grinnell's score is three played and two
won. The teams as they appeared yes
terday were as follows:

| cago, but this will not be done in day
or month. Instead it will come grad
ually. The situation has been sized up
by one representative of the B., c. X. u
N. as follows:
The transfer of the line means, in
my opinion, that Mr.. Ives will retire af-
ter few months, and as that gentle
man has earned along rest and has
acquired a competence he will probably
retire permanently from active work.
1T is more than probable, in my opin-
ion, that Vice President Williams VIII
be removed to Chicago within snort
time. He is recognized as one OF the
ablest railroad men in the country ana
with his strong influence with the ROCK
Island he will undoubtedly be given
position that will be much better thah
the vice presidency of our one line.
The freight offices will be changed
and Mr. Simmons will undoubtedly go
with Mr.. Williams to Chicago. Cedar
RAPIDS will instead have DIVISION
freight office that will be very import
ant.
The auditing departments Will also
be removed to Chicago, as well as the
treasurer's office, and it may be regard
ed as certain that Mr.. Dorwart VIII 30
to Chicago.
The general passenger and ucke'
office will, in time, be abolished. thlllh
and division office established. John
G. Farmer has earned recognition ana
will undoubtedly get it at the hands OF
the Rock Island.
AS to the changes in the operating
eepartments 1t is difficult to predict
Mr. Walters is assured of a good berth.
The train dispatcher's office VIII, OF
course, be maintained as at present.
Many of the other minor departments
will be merged or transferred to Chi
cago
1t can be said with the utmost as
surance that this Cedar Rapids shops
will be increased by the Rock Island to
several times their present size and
Importance Cedar Rapids will be on
the main line between St Louis and
other southern points and the Twin
Cities, Minneapolis and st. Paul. From
the location of the city on this line and
With reference to the east and west line
of the Rock Island it stands to reason
that 1t will benefit largely by the
changes. There is, In my opinion, no
question but that within a short time
Cedar Rapids will have the most extern
sive and important railroad shops in
the middle west.

THE ANDovER PROSPECT.
Moro Encouraging Developments -
Congregational Paper to be Started
at GrinneII

at GrinneII.
Special to Times-Republican
Grinnell, June 6.-Reports which are
even more encouraging than those
heard few days since in regard tc
Grinnell's chance to secure the remov-
al of Andover Theological Seminary t.
this city have been circulated in college
circles during the past few days. II
is now known that the removal of the
famous seminary to this city is practi-
cally an assured thing.
The seminary, as was stated a few
days since, has a million dollar endow-
ment which is controlled by the trus-
tees of Phillips Andover Academy, who
desire its removal to a new location
both because of lack of room for the
academy, an institution of about 500
students, and because the seminary
has dwindled in attendance until the
present roll numbers only fourteen stu
dents.
DR.. Bradley has been in New York
The past week, having delivered an adj
dress at Syracuse, and he has been in
conference with certain influential men
in connection with the seminary. DR..
Bradley believes the seminary will be
removed here.
It is probable that within year re-
1igious paper representing western Con-
gregationalism will be published at
Grinnell. This is more than rumor. The
college has been looking to that end for
some time past and the following year
will very probably witness the accom-
plishment of these plans.
If the seminary is secured for Grin
nell and the publishing of denomina-
tional paper is undertaken Grinnell will
become shortly the center of Congrega-
tionalism in the Mississippi valley re-
gion.
The energy with which President
Bradley has taken hold of these plans
which have been developed in the
minds Of those who shape the history
of the college is highly pleasing to the
institution. 1t is thought that with his
Inauguration Iowa College enters new
era of prosperity.
Ir regard to the Andover prospect 1t
Guilty Grinnell will have to overcome
before she secures the removal here is
the opposition of certain prominent and
influential members Of the alumni or
CARNATIONS of Andover Seminary who
oppose the removal of the school to the
west and prefer the eastern states. This
opposition is no small obstacle. It is
thought no difficulty will be expert
enced in getting the legislature of Mas
sachusetts to pass and act allowing the
removal of the institution to another
state

Northwestern Railway Refuses
Land on Which to Erect an

Higher Prices Paid at Rockwell
and Elsewhere for Their
Products.
to Times-Republican

| Mason City, June 6.-There is to be a
big gathering of farmers at Dougnerty
tomorrow and it promises to be a
stormy one AT least the tillers of the
sentiments much as in the old days of
the Rockwell association and the meet
| ing will be racy and interesting. The
call for the meeting comes from farm
ers who want to establish another CO.
operative society like that at Rockwell
and also an elevator and without the
later the former is not worth the or
ganizing. They have applied to the
Northwestern railroad company which
runs thru Douherty for enough land to
erect an elevator and that company al
ready having the Nye & Schneider and
the Northern Grain Companies, elevat-
ors have refused to give them site on
the theory that the two are enough and
it would be ruinous to one of them to
establish a third The farmers have APP
pealed to the state railroad commission
and on Saturday will meet to formu-
late action. The commission has not
acted yet and the meeting will APPOINT
the proper committee to make the test
by law in case the commission refuses
to compel the road to grant their re-
quest. Dougherty is one of the best
towns on the new line of the North
western and the merchants and farm
ers have been chatting because grain
has been hauled many miles away to
Rockwell to the farmers elevators
there ore Rockford south or Gainesville
north. These towns all pay from l TO
cents a bushel more for grain than
Dougherty elevators because of the
farmers elevators at or near those
places, and they propose to keep the
trade and grain at home if possible.
Dougherty is situated in the corner OF
four counties and if the elevator can be
constructed the association can be
formed with 200 members and the foun-
der of the Rockwell association, Thos.
McMannus, who lives only mile from
the new town will be one of it's men,
bers. Many of the farmers declare that
If the demand for an elevator is not
complied with they will not only not
haul their grain to Dougherty but will
also take all their stock and other bust
ness to some other road.
