HARRIS PLANTED HIS swAG
IN LUMBER YARD, HE SAYS

Frank Harris, who was arrested on
this side of the river last spring by
Officer Moody on suspicion of being
implicated in the burglary of the Hal
Ter home, in Davenport, has pleaded
guilty and agreed to assist in recov-
ering the stolen goods, which he says
he planted in the yards of the Rock
Island Lumber company near the
Rock Island railroad tracks.
Yesterday afternoon he led a party
to this side of the river and a search
was made without success. Harris

work to remove them and ascertain
if he is telling the truth. The search
was resumed this afternoon. There
are several watches and quantity
of other valuable iewelry that have
not been accounted for and if found
will be worth all the trouble taken.

MESsRS. vELIE AND MOORE
PAIRED IN GOLF FINALS

The semi-finals for the mems handi-
cap cup were played on the Rock ISL
and golf links Yesterday afternoon.
There was a very good attendance,
and it is likely that the interest to-
day will eclipse any of the previous
contests. The handicap cup is the
one for which matches have been
held all during the summer, and
which will be awarded either to W. l..
Nelie or A. L. Moore, which one, to-
days contest is to decide.
In yesterdays semi-finals w. L. We
lie was paired with w. f. McCrae,
and \. l.. Moore with w. McClelland.
Mr.. Nelie did some very good playing,
but Mr.. McCrae was not up to his
usual standard with the result that
he was defeated by up and to
play.
The playing of Mr.. Moore was ex-
ceptionally good, and he defeated Mr..
McClelland with 3 up and to play.
Messrs. Velie and Moore will struggle
for the championship at the golf
links this afternoon.

Mrs. Ed Brown left yesterday for
Springfield and other points for
three weeks.
Mrs. Albert Freeman, wife of the
well-known gToceryman, and Mrs Z.
w. Lundahl arrived home from the
Summer spent in Sweden Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Lundahl, who is cash
Ter at the Peoples Savings bank, met
his wife at New York city and ac-
companied the ladies home.
The ladies of the east end of the
city have formed a new club, by
which they expect to widen their
knowledge on fancy work and the
more useful arts of needlework.
lTwenty-four of them met at the home
of Mrs. Dane Bergin on Twenty-fifth
street Wednesday afternoon and the
new club organization was launched
under the name of the Home AuXil-
liary club. The following officers
were elected: President, Mrs. Ber-
gin; vice president, Mrs. Candee; sec
rotary. Mrs. w. +. War;; treasurer.
Mrs. William O'Brien.

their return and will welcome them
back again.

Creek, Mich.
F. Z. Morgan, who is at the Battle
Creek sanitarium, is now able to ride
out.
What last summers chautauqna
committee set out to do has been ac-
complished. 1t has made the second
chautauqua consist of the best talent,
such that insured its success, and
has made the entertainment an an
nual and permanent affair. This IS
now assured without doubt. The
committee members, S. w. Odell, w.
A. Jones, o. S. Daley, +. ii. Wilson
and ID. \. Jones, who took it on their
shoulders to bear all losses if there
should be any, have held a meeting,
and after all the bills have been al
lowed they found that they are SIS
to the good. which is better than
they expected, considering the wealth
err. The First Methodist church
shares the profits. The gross receipts
amounted to $2,70O and the gross eX-
pense was S2.625. This is about one
third what they expected to take in.
They are, however, congratulating
themselves on the amount despite the |
rain. The success of this chautau- |
qua has brought the two street car
companies around and they both seem |
very anxious to erect n permanent |
tabernacle for the organization but |
the committee has not decided |
which proposition to accept.

ing DR.. J. w. Guessing since the den

While st. Nicholas, or Santa Claus"
is said to reign supreme in the hearts
of the young, the old gentleman has
to divide the honors pretty evenly with
st. Valentine, and Valentine day is
one Of the most popular of festivals.
st. Valentine was holy priest who
lived in Rome about five hundred years
after Christ. He was said to be par
ticularly partial to lovers and many
a maid in the glow Of mystic passion
commits her love affair to the genial
saint sure of happy outcome.
The practice of sending valentines is
on the increase rather than waning.
More valentines have been sold in Ak
ron this year tlln ever before. The
demand seems to be for the dainty
card containing some simple, kindly
sentiment, similar to Christmas and
Easter cards, rather than for the more
gaudy affairs of celluloid, parchment
paper, satin and artificial flowers,

REMARKABLE
Secrets Given Up by Justice CampbelPs Court
An Elastic Memory.

My Dear Mr.. Editor:
AS am interested in curios, was
extremely gratified to read in your
paper yesterday a statement to the
effect that we have in our midst a
man who saw and conversed with
DR.. Johnson in London. Your fact
slater, however, must have misunder-
stood what Mr.. Townsend said as to
his own age. DR.. johnson died in
December, 1884, which is rising one
hundred and sixteen years ago, and
as it is apparent from the details of
the conversation in Mr.. Justice Camp
BELLS Office that Mr.. Townsend must
have been of mature age at the time
he saw DR.. Johnson, we evidently have
among us the phenom of about cen
tury-and-a-halfer, and never knew it
before. AS this Is so remarkable a
thing you ought to give it publicity
by correcting the error into which
your reporter has fallen-inadverten
ly, no doubt.
Another thing: I am surprised to
learn from this interview that Boswell
was DR.. Johnson's son-in-law. AS the
latter was cnildless, l had not sup
posed 1t possible, and since his biog-
raphers and critics,-who have not
been few or unknown, for a century
past, have not discovered the circum-
stance, great credit is due to your
young man for bringing it to light
through Mr.. Townsend's reminis-
cences.
