Found Not Guilty of the Murder of
Joseph Buchanan.

Ottumwa, Oct 21.-After one of the
most bitter fights in the history of
Lucas county district court, the trial
Of Lee Whitlatch, charged with the
murder of Joseph Buchanan in Octob-
er, 1901, was brought to close at
Charlton, when the jury, which had
been out "A hours, returned verdict
finding the defendant not guilty,
" hitlatch" was arrested last October
on suspicion, but was released by the
grand jury in December, that body
deeming the evidence insufficient to
return an indictment. About six weeks
ago Lee Whitlatch was again arrested,
together with his brother, Owen, who
was charged with completely in the
murder. A demand was made for sep
arate hearings and the case against
Lee was the first brought to trial. The
hearing of this case has been watched
with great interest by the people of
Lucas county. Owen Whitlatch has
been placed under $4,000 bond and he
is now being held until it has been
secured.

STORIES OF THE STREET.
0skaIoosa People Are Talking
About 1t on Every Corner.

1t is sometimes an easy matter to
fool the public, but you can't keep it
up very long. They are sure to find
you out, and every time a man Is
fooled another skeptic is made.
Skepticism is allowable when read
ing in a home newspaper about some
incident occurring in California or
Marine, but the circumstances are
entirely different when it refers to
someone right here at home, friends
and neighbors, people you know,
whom you can see and with whom
you can talk it over. This is the kind
of evidence at the back of Doan's
Kidney Piils-home statements by
home people and the astonishing
local work they have been doing has
caused more talk among our citizens
than the doings of any other modern
wonder. Read the following:
Mr.. ]. w. Armstrong, of COS South

hanger, says: my kidneys bothered
me for some time, shown by heavy
pain settling in the small of my back,
and at a certain position while at

THE CATHOLIC FAIR
Very Successful Entertainment
by Columbian Club.

The Catholic Fair closed in blaze
of glory and good cheer Monday even
ing, and with Golfers we'll filed that
will redown to the benefit of st. Mary S
church. Though several other enter.
tainments in town thinned out the
otherwise large crowd at times during
the evening, there were, however, over
four hundred paid admissions, and all
who attended came with the idea of
having a good time. Jack Grice prov
ed himself typical auctioneer and
he succeeded in getting good prices
for all the articles sold. All the booths
and galleries were well patronized, and
the dancing led by Beckman's orches-
ira were freely INDUCED in.
The fair is an annual entertainment
given by the Columbian club, an or
ganization of the young people con-
nected with the parish. During the
fair this year some 1900 admission
tickets were sold in addition to 635
supper tickets which included admis-
sion. The gross receipts were $4,000
and the net returns after paying need
ed expenses will be about 100000.
All of the attractions were we'll pa

men were held up by bright and at

Montezuma Republican: Friday
Chester Allison, M. l.. Miller, George
Darland and o. o. Riggs, representing
the mutual telephone companies of
Mahaska, Keokuk and Poweshiek
counties, were as a committee talking
up the question of a franchise into
this city. 1t seems that the interior
people and the rural lines have dis
solved partnership and it is now i'm
possible to talk on any of the mutual
lines southeast Of this place. 1t is
proposed to build line here and thus
give those who procure phones the
free use of all the lines on the system.
The mutual people have lines all over
the country southeast Of us. From
Barnes City to Riverside and inter
vening points there is a perfect net
work of rural lines and now it is pro-
posed to connect the towns by means,
of commercial wire. New Sharon
and Oskaloosa are both in the system
and If the line comes here those hay-
ing instruments can talk to these
points without charge.

stones in position was performed by the
garrison, with no additional outlay. From
this beginning have developed two Of the
