EARLY EVENING BURGLARY.
Happened Sunday Night-At the AL
bright House-Jewe1ry Taken.

| Sunday night, the house of J. H.
Albright, at the north end OF
Fourth street was burglarized. The
deed wasscommitted in the early
evening while the family was at
church. The house was ransacked
apparently by two persons, but the
thieves got away only with two or
three pieces of jewelry, valued
! more as keepsakes than for their
intrinsic worth. These consisted of
a moss agate watch charm, and a
water agate, together with another
piece or two of jewelry. The ar
tic1es were taken from a bureau
drawer, It has been the habit of
Mr., Albright to leave his pocket
book in the same bureau drawer,
but on this occasion he happened to,
put it in his pocket before going to
church, and by reason of this fact
the thieves failed to get it.
Various evidences of their doings
were left by the burglars, They
gained entrance to the house
through door that opens outside
in garret above the kitchen, and
once inside on the second floor,
they dropped through a scuttle
hole into the kitchen. From there
they went into the room where the
bureau was located, and ransacked
its drawers thoroughly. One of
these was licked, but the lock was
broken, and entrance to the con-
tents obtained. A knob on the
same drawer was knocked off and
allowed to drop on the floor.
At all the windows, as shown by
footprints on the outside. the THEW
es attempted entrance. On one the
finger marks were plainly visible.
In the yard, spade and small
Ratchet, taken from Mr., A1bright's
shop, were found. 1t is supposed
these tools were taken with the or
igina1 idea that they could be used
in opening the windows. Access
to the garret through which they
finally entered the house, was Sc
cured by means of ladder taken
from under the house. All the doors.
were left securely locked when the
family started for church, but one
was found unlocked after the re-
turn home.

ON HIS BODY.
Huge Stone There-Root Broke it With
Sledge-An Awful Act.

-
T An incident that left a profound
impression upon those who saw it
was Roscos great s'one-breaking
act at the Opera House Saturday
night All the details were car
ried out as scheduled in the adj
vertisements, and how all of it
could have happened without ter
rible injury to the. hypnotist is
one of the things that not all of
those who were onlookers can ex-
plain.
The stone weighed 500 or 500
pounds. Rosco went into hyp-
hotic state in which his muscular
system became perfectly rigid. He
was laid. straight and stiff, with
the back of his head resting on one
chair and his feet across another
Then the stone which it took six
men ( to lift, was placed on
his abdomen. A volunteer to
break the stone with sled ge was
asked for, and the audience called
out G. Ell. Root, the big OAC half
back.
Before hypnotizing himself, Ros-
co asked that strong man be re-
quested to WELD the sledge in order
that the work of breaking the
stone might not be prolonged. The
audience remained breath1ess when
the big football player took up the
sledge and prepared to strike. The.
big piece of steel swung through
the air, and a dull thud was heard
as the first blow fell. The stone re-
NAMED intact, but at thenext blow.
to which tremendous strength was
impaired, the rock was shivered.
The lady of the company who
brings Rosco out of his catalepsy
then spoke few words to the hyp-s
notist, and the muscular rigidity
at once passed away. and limp and
apparently prostrated, Rosco was
assisted from the stage by his at
tendants.
The act is a terrible thing, pass
ing to the remarkable, but it is not
an incident that the on1ooker would
care to see second time.

Corner Stone Laying Success
Every Way.

Creston, Sept. 1T.--Despite bad
weather the cornerstone laying Of the
new Methodist Episcopal church of this
place, which was conducted by Rev.
w. r. McDade, the local pastor. was
a decided success in every particular.
About 500 people, representing the diff
ferent denominations OF the city, We're
present and occupied seats in the par
TALLY enclosed church while the exer-
cises We're conducted. They were par
ticipated in by every denomination In
the city and each minister delivered a
short address upon subjects of church
benefits to the community and con-
gregation. Five hundred dollars adj
ditional were raised TO help pay for the
church building, and the cornerstone
was sealed by the Masons after having
received a box which contained list
OF all the subscribers to the building
fund, photograph of the old church
just after it was wrecked by the cy-
clone. copy Of the city papers and
other articles usually deposited in cor
nerstones. The dedication of the church
will take place some time in Noyem-

ottumwa Physician Makes Startling
Statement Regarding Deaths of In

Ottumwa, Sept 1I.--'F'orty per cent
of the deaths which occurred in this
city during the month of August We're
of children under 5 years of age, and
several of these we believe to be caused
by using milk doctored with formalde-
hyde" said DR.. w. b. LaF'orce, physi-
Clan to the board of health, at the reg
uiar monthly meeting of that body held
in the council chamber. I'm company
with Il. b. Hill, deputy state milk in
spector, have found that several of
the milkmen were using this prepara-
ton to sweeten their milk and we have
succeeded in bringing one of the Of
tenders to justice. 1t is probable that
more informations may he filed against
some of the milkmen in the next few
days.
Three deaths resulted from cholera
iafantum, five from unsanitation and
three from ileo-colitis The diseases
are somewhat similar, and any trouble
OF the digestion in children is aggra-
waited by using preserved milk"
Pearl French was the milkman who
pleaded guilty to using the formalde-
hyde in milk and was fined s25.

SEES A DARK FUTURE.
Colored Preacher Says Negroes Will
Some Day Have Revenge.

Some Day Have Revenge.
Centewille. Sept. 1.-THE white
man brought the negro here and God
will make him send us back TO Africa
where we will raise up mighty en-
pire in the rich interior of that ia
vorad continent and attain to wealth
| and power that will enable us to go
to war with the country that has
wronged us, and now spurns us, and
| be the victors," said DR. j. w. Crush
shong of Keokuk, before the State
Baptist association, colored, which
! closed it's annual session here yester-
day.
Race hatred is growing in the
north" he said, and l see that day
coming when the white man and the
negro can not live together. For
wears our enemies We're confined to
the south, but now the north is be-
coming prejudiced against US and We
have the Spanish war to blame for
that. The northern man met the
southerner got his views and came
home here With his prejudice. AL
mighty God is furnishing the peop,e
that brought us here and put us in
slavery and If he makes them send
Us back to Africa, I, for one, shall be
ready to go.
DR.. Crushong is one of the most
intelligent younger men of the race
and has the respect and affection Of
every member of the great association
of which he is a member. He is Of
ten referred to as the colored Spur
geon of the Baptist church. He is
student OF race conditions and sees
the outlook growing darker and dark
er for the negro.
The growth of race hatred in the
north is evident he declared, when
John Temple Graves can get re
spectful hearing before the Chicago
university and defame the negro as
he did recently. 1t may be, as he
says. that God has given this country
the islands of the sea for the negro,
but l rather believe we are to go back
to Africa and there build up mighty
nation in that rich unrleveloped coun-
try which will flourish while the Uni
ted States sinks into decay. This Is
q dying nation. The ideals of the |
fathers are fast disappearing and >the |
negro will have the power to assert his
rights by war. We are poor in this |
country. But the negroes of the world |
are not all poor Where they have hal |
a chance they have accumulated wealth |
and administered government justly. |
1t may be that the white man will yet
learn lessons of us, If not willingly |
then unwillingly. because we have the
superior strength"
His sentiments created great SEN
sation In the assoeiat ton.
