WANTED N ILLINOIS
Two Young Men Arrested for
Stealing Horse and Buggy
in the Sucker State.
Will Be Taken There Unless
Complications Arise Over
Transaction Here.
Sold Horse and Buggy Here
Which Was Twice Morteaged
lis in Other Hands.

Sheriff Shoemaker went to Melbourne
Wednesday night and secured young
man named A. ID. Gibbs, who had been
arrested on the officers instructions, ana
this arrest was followed this morning by
that of Charley Cole, companion OF
Gibbs. The men are wanted in Lee
county, Illinois, on a charge of horse
stealing, but complications may arise
here that will result IN their detenton
for time as there promises to be
contest over the possession of another
horse and buggy owned by Gibbs.
Gibbs has been working in the vicinity
Of Melbourne for several months. he
purchased horse and needed buggy.
SO he bought one of Mr.. Shelter, OF Mel
bourne, and gave him mortgage on the
rig. He executed second mortgage TO
a man named Andrews, but still being
short Of funds he secured loan OF $40
from DR. G. G. Cottle, to whom he gave
q bill of sale for the horse and buggy as
security. DR.. Cottle failed to record the
bill of sale. In December Gibbs went to
the home of his aunt in Lee county, 1lli-
rois, for visit, and left his rig In the
custody of n. p. Boswell of this CITY,
where it was found Wednesday after
much difficulty. Mr.. Boswell has a
fourth claim on the property and OBJ
jected to giving it up, as he has coming
to him s14 for boarding the horse all this
time.
These facts all came out in the search
for Gibbs and Cole on request of the 1lli-
pois authorities. On Dec. 80 Gibbs ter
minated his visit at his aunt's home, and
in company with Charley Cole left, pre-
sumably for Iowa. With them went an
other horse and buggy. and 1t was for
this crime that the young men have been
sought. Gibbs returned to his old haunts
near Melbourne. and Cole found employ
nlent fifteen miles south of the city.
where he was located today by Sheriff
Shoemaker and arrested,
Word has been sent to the sheriff of
Lee county, Illinois. They promise to re-
turn to that state without requisition
papers. but If DIR. Cottle should conclude
to prosecute Gibbs he might cause his
detention here.

DOG SAVES BAD FIRE.
Explosion of a Lamp Causes a Blaze
in the Seely Drug Store.

Explosion OF a Lamp Causes Blaze
in the Seely' Drug Store.
The barking of C. A. Seeley's bull ter
rier Andy" and the scratching of the
animal against the door, thus calling
attention to passers by that something
was wrong, undoubtedly prevented a
bad conflagration.
A night lamp, which was left setting
on the safe in the rear of the room
when the store was closed by Mr..
Seely at 10 o'clock, exploded. from some
unknown cause, and Immediately ig-
Iited Mr.. Seely's desk, which stood next
to the safe. 1t was the work of only
a moment for papers underline roll top
Of the desk to become fired. and as a
result the interior of the desk, under
the top, was thoroughly Quilted. Several
valuable papers were burned, but they
can be replaced without much incon-
venienoe.
The dog, which began to set up loud
barking and bowling as soon as the ex-
plosion occurred, ran to the front door,
the noise attracted the attention of
passefby. who at once notified Deputy
Marshal Burt Cochran. The officer
burst open the front door, and with the
aid of the man who had first discovered
the fire, put out the blaze with a few
buckets of water.
Mr.. Seely estimates that 500 will COW
er all of the damage done.

was asked to write a letter recon-
mending the parole, and again he per-
emptorily declined. The movement
again failed, and after another inter-
val still another effort was started.
Shaw was now governor. This time
Judge Van Wagenen was not APP
preached. The letter written by him
to the preceding governor was given
no weight and Governor Shaw issued
the parole. 1t was done, as these
things always are. without any pub
LEFTY. Neither at the executive office
nor at the penientiary are officials
permitted to announce the paroling or
pardoning of convicts 1t is only ac-
cidentally that these things become
public. Shercliff had been a long time
at liberty before Judge Van Wagenen
knew he was paroled. Yet it had been
known that an application for parole
was pending there would have been
such an airing of the case as would
have made it utterly impossible to free
the man.
Had Shercliff been given plainly to
understand at the outset that he had
no hope of release he might have con-
fessed and implicated his fellow con-
spirators, bringing them to justice.
But his hopes We're kept buoyant by
the constant efforts in his behalf, at
last ending in success. The case is an
excellent illustration of the working of
the presnt plan of paroling The
whole preliminary proceeding is Sc
cret; the side asking the parole is
given time to muster it's strength, to
make its fullest showing. while the
public interest has no protection. 1t
was a scandal to turn loose such a
man as Shercliff, and the event has
proved 1t. Yet 1t was done SO secretly
that the presiding judge at his trial
having once protested, was not al
lowed to know what was going on; 1t
might have been court intrigue of
the sixteenth century, so carefully
were the workings of the inner official
circle guarded. If anybody shall doubt
that this case is as bad as here rep
resented he can have his doubts set
at rest by asking Judge Van Wagenen
for details. In truth, the Pollock dia-
mond robbery was one of the most in
tricate and successful conspiracies of
it's kind ever carried out, and Governor
Shaw innocently permitted himself to
be used by the conspirators. 1t may
be doubted IL the state wants any
more extension of this kind of power
to the executive"

Catarrh Tablets. the new catarrh cure,
has met with such success that today it
can be found In every drug store turnout
the United States and Canada.

the public. but every one familiar with
the subject knows that advertising alone

Physicians, who formerly depended
upon inialers, sprays and local washes

LENT CONES EARLY.
Commences This Yaar on Febru-
airy IL and Easter Falls
on March 80.
Rules for Lenten Observances in
an Early Day We're Quite
Severe.
Gradual Notifications Made by
the Church From Time
to Time.

Lent. the fast of forty days immedi-
ately preceding the festival of Easter
viii begin this year on Ash WEDNESDAY
Feb. u. Easter Sunday falls on March
go, thus falling on an earlier date than
usual.
This fast is an apostolic institution
ard is in imitation Of that OF the Lora,
tho ii is not observed at the period when
the gospel places it. The faithful IN all
ages have looked upon its observance as
a most sacred duty. The fast was more
rigid In the earlier days of the church
than at present The early Christians
ale little but herbs or bread and water
curing the season. Later, little wine
vas permitted and in northern countries
where vegetation was late and herpiVo-
rous food scarce milk was ailoweo.
Later still butter was admitted 10 ths
list of permissible foods and one or the
towers of the Rheims cathedral is called
the Butter Tower to this day because
II was built from the offerings OF the IN
habitants in return for permission
granted them by the archbishop to use
butter during Lent.
The first Sunday in Lent is called
Brand Sunday from the custom preva-
lent in the tenth century of those who
had to fill during the carnival Of pre-
senting themselves before the church
with brand or torch in their hands to
receive the penance imposed upon them
thru Lent.
The three Sundays preceding Lent are
respectively termed Septuagesima, Sex
agesima and Quinquagesima as the sew
enth, sixth and fifth Sundays preceding
Passion Sunday. These Sundays are
supposed to be a preparation for the
Lenten fast. The Greeks kept the entire
seven weeks as a fast, with the excep-
ton that each Saturday was not fast
day.
The origin of the Easter festival was
liz the second century. There was no
calendar as yet but as the most able
astronomers of the world lived at Alex
andria, Egypt, they set the date of Eas-
ter year by year and it was according to
their tables that the day was kept

NEW HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER.
Addition to the Present Faculty Mado
in Person of Miss Lonn, of LaPorte,


An addition to the faculty of the
Marshalltown high school is to be made.
a contract being closed today with Miss
Ella Lonn, of LaPorte, Ind. who will
enter upon her work next Monday, the
beginning of the second semester.
The increase in the corps is made
principally to allow the present teachers
to have more time for individual work
with their pupils. The enrolment is
heavy and it has been found that the
force is hardly large enough to care for
the increase in the work.
Miss Lonn comes highly recommend
ed from the department Of education
of the University of Chicago, of which
school she is an alumna. She has but
recently completed a year of post-grad-
uate work in the university. and has
had one years experience in private
school work.
