COUNTY VAULT ROBBED
So, 700 Missing from Edmunds Coun-
tvs Strong Box. .:<

ABERDEEN S. DIT has just leaked
out that the county treasurer of Edmunds
county, on Aug. 16. found $2,700 missing
from his safe and vault at the courthouse
and that an effort has been made to keep
the matter a secret. The idea is said to
be that the detectives can do better work
under such circumstances, sleuths from
the east having been brought to Ipswich
to work on the case. 1t is alleged that
the vault door was locked when the treas
urer went to open it on the morning of
the 10th. The safe in the vault was open.
however, and the $2,700, all in gold, was
gone. About $500 In bills was found in
tact and between S100 and 5000 in gold
had not been disturbed. The robbery was
probably committed by somebody familiar
with the office, and it is thought possible
it was done during business hours.
A box containing S364.05 of the money
stolen by the robbers Of the First Ma
tional bank was found last night by some
children playing about the Salvation
Army building. The box had been hid
den under the sidewalk. It's contents
consisted Of the change kept in the coun-
ter tray at the side of the paying tell
er's window, and the robbers had dumped
the money into the box as convenient
receptacle in which to carry it. No trace
of the remainder Of the money has been
secured. After crediting the money found,
the banks loss is $3,095.95.
Cecilia T. Gilbertson, John A. Peterson
and Thomas Aastrom Of Marshall county

perjury. The woman made final proof on
a quarter section Of land in Marshall
county before F. M. Hopkins, federal
commissioner. Before the papers reached
the land. office at Watertown a contest
was filed and the evidence adduced
therefronn led to the arrest Of the claim
ant and her witnesses, all Of whom, it is
alleged, swore falsely relative to her res
!dence and improvements on the land.

universal cry here is for rain. Every
thing is drying us and especially the pas

on the sandy land have dried up and the
crop will not be worth harvesting. For
several days there has been a hot, dry
wind that seemed. to take the moisture
out Of everything. A worse drought has
not prevailed for many years.-There is
a great deal Of fault finding because the
fair managers have raised the admission
fee so per cent this year. Owing to the
bad weather last year they ran behind
and In order to make up they have cut
down the fair from four to three days and
raised the admission.

LAW FOUND INVALID
Case at Keokuk Separating Child
From Incompetent Mother.

KEOKUK, IOWA.-A new law passed
by the last legislature at the instance of
the most advanced sociologists, was de-
clared unconstitutional last evening at the
trial Of the first case In Iowa brought un.
der it.
The law provided for taking children
from Incompetent mothers and placing
them in better homes. The court held
that the act has not the proper title
and does not give the right of trial by
Jury, as proceedings may be brought be-
fore the mayors of cities who have sum-
mary jurisdiction. Notice Of appeal was
given and the case will go to the supreme
court.
The case was that Of a poor working
woman with baby less than year old
which the philanthropic society and 9TH
ers attempted to put under better aus
pices.
They secured the child while the mother
was away, and it has been in the custody
Of the police since found by the mother
and proceedings were begun In court.
The case has excited nterst all over the
state and among scientific soclologlsts
everywhere. The law is entirely new In
American jurisprudence relating to the
family.
An unprecedented state Of affairs exists
on the Mississippi river as result or dlt-
ferent meteorological conditions IN dlt-
ferent portions of its valley.
Lumber interests are approaching paral-
ysis from low water on the higher
stretches of tho river; and manufacturing
interests are losing heavily from high wa
ter lust above st. Louis Great alarm eS-
lists among river men around Dubuque.

Fate of Rejected KISS.

Talking about returned manu-
script" said a member of the Re.
jected Stories, a recent organization,
'the most gracious editor L ever
knew was Maj. John P. Bruce, who
was a thoroughbred Kentuckian. He
was the editor of the old ST Joe
(Mo.) Union, the decadence of which
was FASTENED by a species of litiga-
ton still in vogue in some parts of
the country. Several of the literati
of the town wrote for the Union and
watched and waited in vain. The ar
ticles did not show up, nor did the
MSS. come back. One Fourth of
July the cornerstone of the majors
house was laid. That was his own
idea. He invited some of his friends
to the ceremony. At the proper mo-
ment he placed a small tin box in the
hole in the stone and covered it with
an extra layer, of mortar. Some
time after one Of the contributors, a
young woman, called upon the major
about her unreturned article and was
informed by Maj, Bruce that it and
other unpublishedar articles formed the
cornerstone of his residence. 1t was
not only a delicate compliment to the
writer's, but a nice bit of considera-
ton for other editors. However, some
years later, after the majors death,
a story was started that his house
was haunted" -Chicago Tribune.
