Lime Goes Up.

AS a result of a late alleged COM
bination between the lime kilns of
the South, in which it is said all the
smaller concerns have been absorbed,
the price of lime has been advanced
from 16 to p cents per bushel at
Chattanooga. 1t is given out by The
leading lime makers of that section
that the advance is caused by the in
crease in the cost of machinery, wag-
es and other expenses. They state
that while the advance is a stiff one
the price heretofore has been entirely
too low.

People in n State of Terror.

People for miles west of the new
State prison are in state of terror
over the supposed presence of the es-
capped convicts in that section. Wom-
en- and children are afraid to venture
from home, and most of the men go
armed. Convicts, or men supposed
to be convicts, in pretty much all
STYLES of dress, have been seen in that
section, and the people are giving
every strange man a wide berth.
The store of n. D. Holmes at
Vaughn's Gap, ten miles west of the
city, was robbed one night last week,
presumably by the escaped convicts.
Clothing, shirts, socks, oysters, sar-
dimes, crackers, etc, were taken and
there is practically no doubt in the
neighborhood that the hungry con-
victs did the job.
Ecmcry Hunter, one of the fleeing
prison birds, was captured by a
farmer about nine miles north Of the
city, a few days ago, Hunter, who
is a murderer only eighteen years of
age, approached the farmer andasked
for clothing and food. He had on
convict's pants and was nearly fam
ished. He made no resistance.
Hyatt, the leader in Mondays es-
cape, is believed to have gotten out

Double KILN z.

There was a double killing in
Jackson county last week, and while
the tragedy is ascribed to a super
heated and Incorporate DISC sion of
the election, it was, as liter of
fact, due to a clash between the Car
ter and Lynch feudists. 1t appears
that Brooks Carter, John Carter,
Jim Highpoch, Boyd and Leslie
Lynch met fortuitously at Hale's
store, near Hymns Lick. There were
others present and the conversation
drifted to a discussion of the cleo
ton, in which all participated. The
controversy became animated and re-
solved itself into a row between the
Lynch and Carter factions. One
word brought on another and the
belligerancy signal was raised by
Brooks Carter, who was discovered
in the act of reaching for his gun.
The signal was promptly recognized
and guns and pistols were brought
into play. A general fight ensued
and Brooks Carterwa instantly kill
ed by Boyd Lynch. Jim HighpOch
was accidentally killed by John Car
ter, and Frank Richmond, a by
stander, was shot through the wrist.
Bad blood has existed between the
Lynch and Carter factions for some
time, and further trouble is anitci-
pated, as both sides to the affair are
known to be daring and desperate

Peculiar Accident.

George Milan, who lives in the
Sixteenth district of Carroll county,
was severity injured in a most pecu-
liar manner a few days ago. The
Milan family had for some time
been greatly bothered by large
snake which had roamed about their
kitchen. The snakes hiding place
was located up in a tree by the
kitchen, and Milan sent his boy up
the tree with a kettle of scalding wa
ter. The boy dashed part of the
water on the reptile, causing the lat
ter to suddenly rush out. This scar
ed the boy, who dropped the kettle
and fell out of the tree. Some of the
water fell on Milan, fearfully scald-
ing him on the face, head and Shout
ders. The snake was killed.

for auditor; John Bladine. Of Alta, for
clerk: and John B. Smith, of Storm

the democratic county candidates have
withdrawn: John B. Alexander, of

nell, of Newell, for clerk; and John
Watson, of Elk township, for recorder.
The democrats claim that they will fill
the ticket, but SO far they have not
done so. The republicans have filed
two township tickets for sixteen of the
eighteen townships. The democrats
of eight townships have filed tickets.
In two townships, Maple Valley and

murdered? is the question which will
be uppermost in the deliberations of
the jury empaneled by Coroner Hoar
when that body meets to act on the
death of the man.
Friends of the dead man say he is
the victim of foul play and argue that
their assertions will be verified later
en-. Others say Bowers committed sui
eide. The suicide theory is partially
refuted from the fact that Bowers was
., man of CHEEKY disposition and had
nothing to trouble him. His domestic
affairs were pleasant and he was at
peace with The world. Considering
these facts his friends doubt he COM
mitted suicide and say he was MUIR
dered.
1t is argued the man was first done
away with and then his slayer put the
rope around his neck to advance the
theory that he committed suicide. The
man was found on the roadside with a
rope around his neck, but there was no
other evidences that he had committed
suicide.
The coroner's jury is making thor
ough investigation of the case and will
report soon.

Spirit Lake, Oct. pa case Of seri-
GUS defalcation at Lake Park has just
been made public by the arrest of Geo
w. Palmer manager Of the j. Queal
& Co. lumber yard at that place. Il
seems that the company has been try
ing to get Palmer to collect certain
accounts for some time and he has put
them off till suspicion was aroused
and man was sent to look into the
matter on last Thursday. On the sam.
day Palmer left without any definite
arrangements as to where he was go
ing. His absence aided the investiga
ton and it was soon found that some
accounts supposed to be outstanding
had been paid long time ago and no
credit given. In fact, it was found
that Palmer has been one of the most
successful collectors whereas he was
reputed to be the poorest. So far
as Investigated nearly every large ac-
count has been raked in, sometimes
partial credit, sometimes none, being
given.
On Saturday evening Palmer was To-
Gated at keokuk by message to tho
yard man stating that he would be
home on Monday morning. This morn
ing warrant was sworn out and OFF,
Ger stationed at several stations to in
tercept him in case he should hear of
the discovery and endeavor to escape.
At Superior he stepped from the train
and was Immediately taken into Gus
today by constable Wilson. of Lake
Park, who returned at once by team.
He will be arraigned before Justice
Chrysler this evening.
Up to this time Palmer has been one
OF the most popular men of his town
and was highly respected by all who
knew him. 1t is supposed that his
shortage which will run into thousands
of dollars is caused by eXtravagant
living. He has been somewhat given
to the use Of liquor but never was
known to gamble or work the board
OF trade.

1t appears that during the trip from

box containing Miss Shannon's jewels
was forced open by the jolting of the
trunk aud the valuable piece of jew
elry fell among the stage gowns of the
actress. In some manner the pin OF
the brooch became fastened in the inner

resulted in the finding of the missing

a statement made today by Chief En-
gineer John Marston, of the Mason City
& Fort Dodge road, Somers has not
been definitely decided on as the point
ut which the Great Western Sioux City
extension will branch off from the
Omaha extension. One line already
planned is from Somers to Rockwell
City. Sac City, then southwest to Ar
thur and Ida Grove, and. then on to
Sioux City. There are three other
places besides Somers under consider
alton. These places are Lohrville. Ri
nard and Lidderdale, the two last NAM
ed places being new towns on the Ona-
ha extension. 1t all depends upon
which point affords the least expensive
way to cross the exceedingly rough
country between the Coon and Missouri
rivers. Engineer Wakefield, Who is
making a new survey of the proposed
Sioux City extension, is now working
between Ida Grove and Holly Springs.
