Thieves AZ Waterloo.

noon when Mrs. Eugene Draper was at
tending thimble bee. an unknown per-
son entered the home on Park avenue
in the rear of the Presbyterian church
and took from the residence sum OF
money, in al; about 500. Nothing else
has been missed thus far. When Mrs.
Draper went away she locked the doors,
but on her return the locks were turned
and ingress was easy.
ID. j. Wilson, an employe of the Wa
terloo Fruit and Commission Company,
hung his watch and valuable charm in
the hallway of the fruit house yester-
day. The door of the hall opens on
the alley Five minutes later he re-
turned for 1T and the time-pieee was
gone. The watch was silver case U.
S. Waltham, the movement number of
which is 402,534, case number 6,4Sa,6b6.
The charm was combination Macca-
bee and Wooodmen charm and this is
more deplored in its loss than the
watch. A reward will be paid for re-
turn to the owner.

Altoona Newspaper Change.

Algona, Feb. PA newspaper
change that interest the fraternity to
some extent is that of the sale this
week by r. b. Warren of his half of
the Upper Des Moines to Harvey Ing
ham. The paper is recognized as one
of the leading weekly journals of the
state, and under Mr.. Ingham's sole
management it's high standard of ex-
cellence will without a doubt be main
tanned. Mr.. Warren has been con-
nected with the paper, either as en-
ploye or part owner, since 1885, and
his service has been continuous with
the exception of the two and a half
years that he was engaged on the old
Chicago Times. then owned by w. f.,
Storey. Mr.. Warren's future move
ments are not decided upon, but the
newspaper habit is so strong that it
will be strange If he does not again
engage in the business. To Algona
people the transfer was very much of
a surprise.

Nobody was at Strumitza to meet
Miss Stone. as the brigands had given
no indication where they proposed to
release the prisoners. Nine. Tsilka and
her baby were also released at the same
time. They are all we'll. Miss Stone inn
mediately made herself known to the
authorities at Strumitza.
The first news of Miss Stones release
was contained in telegram received by
MIR. Dickinson, the American consul
general at Constantinople, from the
American vice consul at Salonika. me
telegram gives no details of the re-
lease.

by 1900 German war veterans from
this and other cities in the state.

Cattle Receipts Large and Prices

Cattle Receipts Large and Prices
Barely Firm-Hoes Steady.
Chicago, Feb. 24.-Cattle-1he week
starts off with estimated receipts to-
day of $4,000 against 21,3o0 last Mon
day. There was fairly active de-
mand from all classes of buyers, but
the liberal supply resulted in weaker
feeling early. Prices in some instances
were to 10 lower, exception being
made of few choice beeves. Later
the market ruled firmer.
Hogs-Todays receipts We're esti-
mated at $4,000 compared with 59,315
last Monday. The big receipts caused
weaker feeling and prices early
averaged decline of az as; with
trade active. Later the market was
much firmer than earlier in the day.
Sheep-Receipts today were esti-
mated at only 10000, against 22,691
last Monday The unexpectedly meagre
supply this morning caused much
stronger feeling at the opening and
prices averaged e@15 higher with
marked scarcity of choice flocks OF
sheep and lambs.

Relatives Are Notified.

Boston, Feb 24.-Confirmation of the
release of Miss Ellen M. Stone came
here yesterday in the receipt by the
American board of cablegram con-
tanning the single word Safe" and
signed Haskell"
The latter is the American boards
agent, who has been engaged in the ne
gotiations for the release of Miss Stone,
and Rev. DR.. Judson Smith, secretary
of the board, last night said he regarded
the cablegram as quite sufficient, and
he has notified the rejoicing relatives
of the missionary that she is safe.
Some time ago Mrs. Stone, the mis-
sionarys aged mother. expressed the
wish that her daughter return to Bos-
ton when released to cheer ksr moth
er's fast closing days, and it Is believed
that the liberated woman will come to
this country at the earliest possible
date. or these details DR.. Smith could
not speak, however

Mere Political Briaands.

New York Feb. 24.-Spencer Eddy,
first secretary of the United States le-
CATION at Constantinople, who mad
charge of the negotiations for the re-
lease of Miss Stone and Mrs. Tsilka, ar
rived here on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm.
In an interview he said the brigands
captured an American rather than any
other missionary, because they believed
the Americans had the most money and
would be likely to pay the ransom.
Did the brigands want the money
for themselves" Mr.. Eddy was asked.
NO they did not; and that is where
the people of America do not under
stand this case. 1t Is entirely a politi-
cal matter and all the people of Mace
donna are in sympathy with the kidnap-
ping, for they believe it is a step toward
freeing Macedonia from Turkish rule,
the same as Bulgaria has been, and the
money they demanded ($100,0o0) was
intended for the Macedonian cause.
Il have every reason to believe the
brigands have given Miss Stone and her
companion in captivity the very best
treatment. When Mrs. Tsilkas baby
was born she received the kindest of
treatment, from all we can learn.
Il have had five letters from Miss
Stone, written in Bulgarian, SO her cap
tors could read them, and they We're
masterpieces in cleverness and diplom-
acy Miss Stone is a very courageous
woman"
Won't Turkey attempt to punish
the ringleaders 2"
Turkey will have problem on her
hands If she does, for the Macedonians
have risen up as one man in their de-
termination to be freed from Turkey,
and this Kidnapping of the two Ameri-
can missionaries may be called chapter
one In their plan for liberty
Mr.. Eddy will visit Washington on
official business, and then proceed to his
former home, Chicago, for visit.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
,iIippine Bill Has the Right Way


Washington, Feb. 24.-In accord
ance with the agreement heretofore
reached. the senate Will begin voting at
4 o'clock today on the Philippine tariff
bill All the time of the days session
previous to that hour will be devoted to
brief speeches for and against the bill.
the time to be divided between the sup
porters and the opponents of the bill.
The opinion has been advanced that
Saturdays episode between Senators
1'illman and McLaurin might have the
effect of causing postponement of the
time for taking the vote in order to
permit senators to speak who have de-
sired to do so, but there is no proba
bility of any change of program. The
senate regards unanimous consent
agreements very sacredly, and never
allows anything to interfere with them.
According to the present program
Prince Henry will be a Witness of Il
part of the ceremony of taSing the vote
on the Philippine bill, and he will be
allowed to observe it either from the
floor of the senate or from the gallery,
as he may prefer. Probably all the
members of the senate will be pre-
scented to him. but it is not intended
that his presence shall interfere in any
way with the prosecution of the bust
ness of the senate.
The irrigation bill now holds the
place of vantage on the senate calendar
next to the Philippine bill, and proba
bly, will receive the attention of the
senate after the Philippine bill is out of
the way. There is, however, some i'm
patience on the part of the friends of
the ship-subsidy bill over the present
arrangement, and If the irrigation bill
should consume a great deal of time
there may be an effort to displace 1t.
All will depend upon the action of the
republican steering committee.
The bill making appropriations for
congress and the different departments
of the government will be reported to
the senate during the week. and proba-
bly, will be taken UP for action the next
day after 1t is reported.
On Thursday the senate will unite
