KlDNAPER DENIES HIS GUILT
Man Charged With Abduction of Mrs.
Telsrow says He was Innocent
Now in Jail.

Davenport, Aug. 19.-Ernest Leuth,
who was arrested in the granary OF
John Telsrow and charged with kidnap-
ing Mrs. John Telsrow Sunday night
and demanding $4,000 from her hus-
hand, waived preliminary examination
yesterday afternoon in the court of
Justice Porter of Upton and was bound
over to the grand jury of Cedar county
without bail.
The man was taken to Upton imme-
diately after being captured and arriv-
ed there at midnight Monday night.
Sheriff Ellyson and Deputy Barclay,
who made the arrest, were afraid to
take him to Bennett that evening, as
the village was greatly wrought up ov-
er the affair, and large crowds of peo-
pie were in the streets awaiting the re-
turn Of the man. There was consider
able talk of lynching and violence and
it was considered best to take the man
to the Jail at once.
Bennett, Ia, Aug. 19.-Public feeling
over the kidnapping of Mrs. Telsrow is
aroused to the highest pitch here, and
has been the topic of much exciting
comment during the day. The man
who committed the deed is Ernest
Leuth, not August He has only been
in the country two years, being ma
tive of Germany, and he was working
on the farm of Claus Ehlert in Cedar
county. His brother, August, who was
in the city today, stated that Ernest
was man Of very stubborn disposition
and erratic ideas. 1t is difficult to say
what would have happened had the
young man been brought to this city,
as there was talk of violence, but this
feeling died down gradually and the
citizens now await for the law to in
quire into the matter.
Upton, Ia, Aug. 19.-Sheriff Ellyson
this afternoon received a message from
the sheriff of Clinton county saying he
had captured and detained two young
men driving a badly-used team and an
swering the description sent out from
this place. Sheriff Ellyson replied that
the party wanted had been captured
and that there was no need of holding
the strangers.
Interest here is not as great as it is
in Bennett over the kidnapping of Mrs
Telsrow, although it is the one topic
of discussion. The party brought
Leuth in at midnight and lodged hin
in the county Jail.
Sunbury, Ia, Aug 19.-The people Of
this vicinity are greatly incensed at the
daring abduction of Mrs. Telsrow, who
is weli-known and highly respected
here. There have been many heated
discussions during the day as to wha
course ought to be taken in regard Il
the criminal, public feeling running
high, and arguments being confined tt
the subject of lynching the culprit i'm
mediately or letting the law take it
course. The general opinion is tina
, the sheriff has the right party.

WALK ON wHITE-HoT STONES,
by Fill Islanders With
ont Injury.

Col Gudgeon, British resident at
Raratonga, is one of the few Europe
ans who have performed the remark
able feat of walking on the white hot
stones with the FIJI fire walkers, says
an article on "Fire Walkers of Fiji"
in Leslie's Monthly. In communica-
tion to the Polynesian society he says:
81 can hardly give you the sensa-
tions, but l can say this, that I knew
quite well l was walking on red-hot
stones, and could feel the heat, yet
was not burned. I felt something re-
sembling slight electric shocks, both
at the time and afterwards, but that is
all. l do not know that I should rec
omend every one to try it. A man
must have inspiration to do it; if he
has not, it will be too late when he is
on the hot stones of Tama-ahi-roa.
"To show you the heat of the stones,
quite an hour afterwards some one re
marked to the priest that the stones
would not be hot enough to cook the
food. His only answer was to throw
his green branch on the oven and in
quarter of a minute it was blazing.
My feet also were very tender. The
really funny thing is that. though the
stones were hot enough an hour after
wards to burn NY green branches of
the ii (dracoena) the very tender skin
of my feet was not even hardened by
the fire."

wATcHEs ARE Ike woMEN.
Must Be TenderIy Cared for ana Not
Exposed to sudden Changes
OF Temperature.

Every owner of watch should con-
slider that the delicate piece of mech
anism belongs to the feminine gender.
and, like a sweetheart or a wife, must
be tenderly cared for and not subject
ed to sudden changes of temperature,
says a journal of the trade. Many a
man who would not think of letting his
wife go out in the evening without
some kind of wrap about her shoul-
ders will wear his watch next to his
warm body all day and let it lie at
night on a cold mantelpiece. Then he
wonders why it gains or loses time.
Cold causes contraction Of the met
ais composing the balance wheel and
its parts, and the watch consequently
gains. When the parts expand under
the heat of the body the pivots, bear
ings, etc, tighten up and the watch
loses.
Getting the steel parts of ones
watch magnetized is another fre-
quent cause of trouble; while chang
ing the position of watch, such as
putting it down horizontally, is also
apt to affect it's action.
1t is well known that a watch will
stop for some unexplained reason and
go on again if it is given a slight jolt.
The same trouble may not recur for
years. This is due to the delicate hair
spring catching either in the hair
spring stud or in the regulator pins.
The cause is sudden jump or quick
movement, which gives a jolt to the
balance-wheel and hairspring, and
thus renders the catching possible.

Famous Pictures Rnlned.

The Rome correspondent of the
Daily Mail says that owing to unscien-
tific treatment while they were being
renovated, several famous pictures be-
longing to the Rosso palace, at Genoa,
have been lost to the world. The
paintings included two Van Dycks, a
Carlo Maratta, Pris Bordone, a Va
lerio Castelli, and two Guido Renis.
The cleaning was intrusted to pro-
fessed cleaner, who washed the paint
ings with an alkaline solution which
completely destroyed them. 1t is
stated that the Van Dycks were among
the most valuable specimens of his
work. The loss is incalculable.

A UNIQUE RECORD.
Not Another Like Il in Our Broad
Republic.

To give positive home testimony in
every locality is of itself unanswera-
BILE proof of merit; but when we add
to this the continued endorsement
from people who testified years ago no
evidence can be stronger. A citizen
gratefully acknowledges the good re-
ceiveu from Doan's Kidney Pills, AMI
when time has tested the cure we find
the same hearty endorsement, with
added enthusiasm and continued
praise Gases of this kind are plenti-
full in the work of Doan's Kidney
Pills, and such'a record is unique in
the annals of medicine.
Fred Dodge, living on the Worcester
Branch, says: my kidneys ached
so badly at times that was unable to
do any work and l had to be very
careful in lifting to prevent sharp
twinges in my loins from occurring.
l tried plasters and liniments but they
did me no permanent good. l had a
bad spell and had to get some one to
do my work. ] saw Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised and made up my mind
to try them, ] got box at W. E.
Poole's, druggist, Montpelier, vt.
After using one box l felt so much
better that got two more and they
completely relieved me. 1t was the
first time in years that 1 felt no pain
across my kidneys"
