BURGLARS HAVE A BUSY TIME
Visit Several Places, but Make the
Best Haul ut Residence of
Colonel Davenport.

The residence of County Recorder Elmer
E. Smith at 476 Oakland avenue was Wis
tied by burglars yesterday afternoon dur
ing the absence of the family. The thieves
ransacked the house from top to bottom,
scattering the contents of bureaus and
closets over the floors in their evident
search for jewelry and money. A quantity
Of silverware in the dining room and pantry
was not touched, the thieves contenting
themselves with taking a watch and chain,
a small sun of money which was in a
pocketbook on a bureau, and a few minor
articles OF jewelry. Entrance to the house
was obtained by forcing a rear window.
The robbery was committed between 3 and
4 o'clock, hat being the only time the
family was absent from the house.
Colonel w. ]. Davenport of the Burling-
ton is mourning the loss of a handsome
gold watch and chain, valued at 5000, and
500 in cash, which were stolen from his
residence on South Eighth street Satur-
day night. On retiring to bed Colonel
Davenport placed the watch and chain and
his pocketbook on the bureau in his room
Sunday morning Mrs. Davenport found the
pocketbook, depleted of its contents, or
the sewing machine in the sitting room
and this was the first intimation Colonel
Davenport had that he had been robbed
1t is supposed that the thief climbed
through the bedroom window while the
colonel was asleep and made his exit with
his plumber by one Of the windows In thu
sitting room.
The number of robberies in the Fourth
ward recently have aroused the residents
of that portion of the city, in view Of thu
fact that the police appear to be utterl!
powerless to prevent them or even secure
the slightest clue to the perpetrators, and
they are talking Of either forming a vigil
lance committee or organizing a specia
night patrol, such as the merchants or
ganized q few years ago.

WATERLOO. Ia, June 23.-(Special.)-
This county supports a community Of Dun
kards. They are the most thrifty people
OF the county and were never known to
contract any debts, always paying cash on
the spot. The unfortunate ones Of their
number are always looked after by each OF
the other families contributing TO the
needy. During the recent national conven-
tion at Harrisburg, Pa, they chartered a
special car and filled 1t with delegates
from this county. At the convention one
of the members OF the sect says there was
not a representative present who was ad-
dicted to the use Of tobacco In any form.

CASTRO IS LOSING GROUND
RevolutioniSts in VenoEuslA Continue to
Win Victories Over LOyGliTts.
GOVERNMENT is TO MAKE A LAST STAND
Decisive Battles Of the Struggle VIII
Probably he WaEed at
Valencia and Caracas,
the Capital.

wILLEMsTAD, Island OF Curacao. Sum
day. June misconceptions Of the Asso-
ciated Press 1.-THE revolution in Venezuela
is gaining and the government Of President
Castro Is losing ground daily and is
obliged to confess in its organs, in spite
Of the terror which reigns in the capital,
Caracas, that its armies are not always
victorious.
A revolutionary movement broke out dur
ing the night Of May 20 in Ciudsd Bolivar.
capital Of the state Of Bolivar. A colonel
named Farrera headed the revolt In the
barracks and after Eve days Of fighting in
the streets constrained the president Of the
state Of Bolivar, General II. Sarris. to
evacuate the town and fall back on Puerto
Tablas.
The revolutionary general. Riera. one OF
General Matos' best lieutenants. whom
President Castro represented as fleeing with
four men. appeared last week before La
vela. on the Gulf OF Coro. with LOO men
and after a struggle OF Ave hours took that
port.
In the eastern part Of the republic, where
the government has 5000 of is best troops,
the situation is unchanged. The revolu-
tionists dominate without. however, having
occupied the towns Of Barcelona, Carupano
and Cumana. Genearl Matos. whose march
on Caracas has been delayed by rains, is
at present in the vicinity Of those districts
and hundreds Of bands are awaiting his
passage to incorporate themselves with his
army.
In a word, the situation is less favorable
for President Castro than 1t was a month
ago and every day it becomes more I'M
favorable to him.
Caracas is believed to be on the eve of
grave events. 1t is positively afirmed that
President Castro intends to offer resistance
in the capital II he Is beaten In the de-
cisive battle which will probably be fought
in the e%nvlrons of Valencia.
President Castro has signed a decree
providing for the temporary opening OF
the port OF Udana, on the frontier OF Co.
lombia, for the outlet OF Colombian mer-
chandise which has been stored for upward
of nine months in Cucuta. These goods
belong to German and American firms and
consist for the greater part Of skins esti-
mated to number 10000 and Of coffee said
to aggregate $4,000 sacks.
Venezuela charges Il heavy toll on the
transit and 1t is therefore a clear profit
for the government.

BOY ENDS LIFE BY HANGING
TweIve-Year-OId Walter Davis Fears
Punishment and Choose
Death Instead.

CRESToN, Ia, June 23.-(SpeciaI.)-
Walter Davis, a young boy who resided
with his father in Lenox, a small town
south of here, committed suicide yesterday
by hanging himself with a halter rope from
the hay loft.
The lad was in good spirits at noon and
was engaged in moving the weeds. The
team he was driving ran away and he went
to the barn and secured a halter rope,
pulled a ladder up to the hay NOW and
swung himself on. His father was not at
home at the time and his body was not
discovered until several hours after the
deed is supposed to have taken place.
He was but ~ years of age and was in
the best OF health. No cause is given for
the rash act unless it was fear OF punish
ment for allowing the team to get away.
His father, G. w. Davis. is highly re-
spected in the community,

Hamilton Corn Crop a Total Fnn1-s

WEBSTER CITY. Ia. June 23.-(speeial)
Owing to continued heavy rains and floods
in Hamilton county there are many sections
where the corn crop will be a total failure,
This is true not only in those spots which
are worked out, but also for the lowlands
where the continued high water kept the
farmers from the fields, thus allowing
the crops TO be choked out by weeds. All
other crops, however, give indications OF
making an average yield.

Look ont For Your PATE.

A contemporary says pate" is slang
for head. It is, Ell? Wherefore? Sure
~ the word is used in a trivial or de-
rogatory sense, as noddle, noggin, era
mum, b%rainpan, etc, but it's origin is
eminently respectable. Shakespeare
says '.the learned pate ducks to the
golden fool" Pope's epigram is good:
You beat you pate and fancy wit will
come;
Knock as you please. there's nobody at
home.
We have .sbald pate" and SHAVE
pate" Why, the word is used once in
the Bible, and by David, in Psalm vii,
16, Ellis mischief shall return upon his
own head, and his violent dealing shall
come down upon his own pate" Ac-
curately, pate does not mean the head,
but the crown Of the head.-New York

A JUGGLER'S TRICK.
Clever Feat of Illusion Performed by
an East Indian. ~

Clever Feat of Illusion Performed by
an East Indian. ~
The wonderful feats Of East Indian
jugglers have formed the theme Of
many a letter from travellers in the
orient, but none is more surprising than
that for which an old seadog vouches.
While he was an officer on board a
P. and o. steamship two natives came
aboard at Madras, he says. They were
a juggler and his assistant. After they
had performed a number Of minor
featsa and gathered quite a crowd
around them they called for a sack
and q piece of sailcloth.
These having been provided, the
chief juggler made a small tentlike
structure with the canvas and some
stools. He then placed his assistant
in the sack and allowed a sailor to tie
the knot which bound him a fast pris-
oner This done, the chief carried the
sack into an open space, warning the
people to stand back some distance,
and then carried on an animated con
%versation with his assistant, whose re-
plies could be distinctly heard coming
from the sack. Suddenly the chief
rushed forward, picked up the sack
and dumped it overheard, where, to
the horror of the passengers and crew,
it sank out of sight.
Immediately the captain rushed for.
ward and seized the man, under the
full belief that he had murdered his
companion, but the juggler only
smiled and, pointing to the canvas,
asked that it be raised. This was
done, and the supposed drowned man
was discovered squatting on the deck.
So realistic had been the throwing
overheard, however, that it was some
time before the surprised passengers
could realize a murder had not been
committed.
